A Knoxville man who was driving drunk is convicted of killing a woman and seriously injuring another while they were crossing the street.
District Attorney General Charme Allen’s office says Knoxville Police Officers responded to a crash in the 1900 block of North Broadway on August 6th, 2022 after a car hit a man and woman who were crossing the street.
Officers saw Kenyan Warren, now 46, throw a beer can under his car. Witnesses also told police that before they arrived on the scene, Warren walked over to the woman and kicked her, telling her to get up before cursing at her and trying to drag her out of the road.
A blood draw later revealed Warren had a BAC of 0.106 in addition to cocaine and marijuana in his system.
On Tuesday, Allen says Warren was convicted of vehicular homicide, driving under the influence and reckless aggravated assault.
Warren is scheduled to be sentenced on August 20th.
