GWINNETT COUNTY, GA – A man who led a Georgia State Trooper on a high-speed chase that ultimately ended in the lawman’s death will serve 17 years in prison.
Gerson Danilo Ayala-Rodriguez, 21, on Wednesday, Aug. 14, pled guilty to first-degree vehicular homicide in connection with the death of Trooper Jimmy Cenescar. In addition to the felony charge, Ayala-Rodriguez also was convicted on misdemeanor charges of reckless driving, speeding, two counts each of driving without a license, operating a vehicle without insurance, and operating an unregistered vehicle. Ayala-Rodriguez will serve 17 years in prison as part of the negotiated plea.
“We tragically lost a young State Trooper as a result of the defendant’s reckless driving,” said Gwinnett County District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson. “Ultimately, the defendant accepted responsibility for his actions in this, although it cannot bring back Trooper Cenescar. We hope this serves as a message to drivers and motorcyclists to drive within the safe bounds of the law.”
