Kansas teen pleads guilty in pedestrian death

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — An Overland Park teenager has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the 2014 death of a pedestrian.

The Kansas City Star reports that 18-year-old Conner Estrella pleaded guilty Thursday to involuntary manslaughter in the death of 52-year-old Kevin Patrick Moroney. Moroney was struck while standing next to a parked vehicle in August last year.

Court documents show Estrella was driving under the influence of alcohol when the accident occurred. He also pleaded guilty to aggravated battery for injuring a woman standing with Moroney.

Sentencing for Estrella is Sept. 17 in Johnson County District Court.
