Teen guilty in fatal hit-and-run

A teen pleaded guilty Monday to hitting and killing a North Clarke County woman as she walked along Commerce Road with her 3-year-old son in June.

Fifteen-year-old Abel Gonzalez-Perez pleaded guilty to first-degree vehicular homicide, DUI and hit-and-run in the June death of 19-year-old Nayasheika “Keisha” Cooper, who died after being struck from behind while she walked with her son to get a drink.

Gonzalez-Perez, who was working illegally in the United States at the time of his arrest, accepted prosecutors’ recommendation that he spend as many as eight years in prison and an additional seven on probation.
