Leopoldo R. Salas Gaytan, 41, is charged with homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle (prohibited alcohol concentration) and operating without a license causing death for the New Year's Day crash that killed 34-year-old Corrie A.

"According to a press release from the Milwaukee County Sheriff's department, Salas-Gaytan admitted to being in the United States illegally for the past 13 years but his immigration status had not yet been confirmed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
