Norlan Estrada-Reyes, a Honduran man who killed a young Denver lawyer in a hit-and-run in October, on Friday was sentenced to 12 years in prison, the maximum his crime allowed. 
Estrada-Reyes, who was living in the U.S. unlawfully, for the crime in June, admitting to leaving the scene of a crash involving death.
He fled after striking 28-year-old Karina Pulec with a Ford pickup truck at the intersection of East 13th Avenue and Broadway on Oct. 30. Police said they found the vehicle still running, near the intersection of East Eighth Avenue and Acoma Street.
ٰ岹- four days later.
The case has been a focus in in Denver. Estrada-Reyes had been deported and then returned to the U.S. illegally, but ICE was not informed when he was detained on a 2014 charge, and he was released from the Denver jail in 2013 before ICE agents could pick him up. He pleaded guilty to in February.
A Denver City Council would require jails to advise inmates affected by ICE of their legal rights, but would allow the Denver Sheriff Department to keep notifying immigration authorities when Denver jails were about to release wanted by ICE. A previous proposal sought to end the notifications.
