The man who crashed a vehicle and left an 11-year-old to die is heading to prison. On September 10, 2016, Michael Ramon crashed an SUV on the Crosstown Expressway near Ayers. He then fled the scene. Several people were in the vehicle, including 11-year-old My-Kayla Recio, who didn't survive. During a September 2016 interview, My-Kayla's mother, Jennifer Recio, said her daughter spent the night at a friend's house. They got a ride with some people but Recio didn't know where they were going or why My-Kayla was in the car. The mother of one of the girls said they were going to eat when the accident happened. During a hearing Wednesday morning, Michael Ramon pleaded guilty to charges one count of intoxication manslaughter, one count of accident involving death, two counts of accident involving serious bodily injury, one count of child endangerment and injury to a child. In exchange for his plea, Ramon was sentenced to 15 years in prison with no chance of parole.Ramon will also serve three years in federal prison on a separate charge. My-Kayla's family appeared in court. Some wore purple shirts and purple ribbons in her honor because purple was My-Kayla's favorite color.
