Court records show that 23-year-old Juan Francisco Del Valle had a plea hearing in April. He was charged with two counts of intoxication manslaughter in 2024. KTSM 9 News reached out to the El Paso District Attorney's Office regarding the result of the plea hearing, but they could not comment. "Mr. Del Valle has not been sentenced in this case and we're unable to provide comment until he is sentenced on May 13 at 2:30 p.m.," their statement read.
