Blake Rakela, 21, was convicted of the death of 55-year-old Jeremy Styles. The Placer County District Attorney's Office said the conviction reflects that the killing occurred "in the heat of passion."
Officers found Styles unresponsive on the ground and attempted lifesaving measures, but he died at the scene.
Prosecutors said evidence showed both Blake Rakela and Styles had engaged in "numerous acts of road rage" while driving through Rocklin before the fatal confrontation. Prosecutors said the plea agreement was consistent with the facts of the case.
Because Blake Rakela had no prior criminal record and was 20 years old at the time of the offense, California law presumes the lower prison term for a voluntary manslaughter conviction, prosecutors said. His sentence was increased by one year after he admitted to using a deadly weapon, resulting in an expected four-year state prison sentence.
Both men are scheduled to be sentenced on August 4.
The district attorney's office did not identify the deadly weapon referenced in Blake Rakela's plea or release additional details about the circumstances leading to the fatal confrontation.
