A man accused in a deadly hit-and-run crash that happened near San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton in 2024 has pleaded guilty, according to the victim's family.
Family members of 23-year-old Jazmin Floris told CBS News Sacramento that they were in court on March 4 when the suspect, 27-year-old Jamaraqui Burks, entered a guilty plea during a court hearing.
Burks pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, the family said. He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 6.
CBS News Sacramento has reached out to the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office, which confirmed the plea but said additional details would be released on Saturday.
The crash happened on the night of Oct. 24, 2024, near Pacific and West Yokuts avenues in front of the Delta College sign. Stockton police said Floris was walking near the sidewalk when she was hit by a vehicle.
Emergency crews rushed Floris to the hospital in critical condition, where she later died from her injuries.
Police said Burks, who was driving a Tesla, fled the scene after the crash but was later tracked down and detained by Delta College police. He was taken to the hospital for treatment of injuries before being arrested and booked into jail.
