WEST PALM BEACH — A judge sentenced a Lake Worth Beach man this week to at least five years in prison and revoked his driver’s license for life after he pleaded guilty to one count of DUI manslaughter in the 2021 death of a motorcyclist.
Sebastian Ramirez, 34, also pleaded guilty to one count of driving with a suspended, canceled or revoked license causing death in the Oct. 15, 2021, crash that killed Damian Martinez, 48, of Palm Beach Shores.
Ramirez must serve a minimum of four years of a seven-year prison term for the DUI manslaughter charge and five years on the suspended license charge. During a hearing on Tuesday, Jan. 30, Circuit Judge Sarah Willis ordered that Ramirez’s sentences be served concurrently.
