GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A defense request to delay the trial for a motorist accused of driving more than 100 mph, causing a crash on Lombardi Avenue which killed three people, has been denied.
Abdi Ahmed, 23, faces three counts of first-degree reckless homicide for the June 28, 2020, Lombardi Avenue crash which killed Jessie Saldana, Sonia Gonzalez-Guillen and Sonia Gonzalez.
His attorney asked for more time to prepare for a recently disclosed expert witness for the state. The judge denied the request.
Ahmed has pleaded not guilty.
Police say Ahmed was driving 104 mph in a 35 mph zone less than two seconds before the airbags deployed.
The trial is scheduled to start June 6.
