GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Sentencing was delayed Monday for Abdi Ahmed, who was convicted for a triple-fatal traffic crash on Lombardi Avenue.
The defense requested an alternate pre-sentence report, which will provide additional information to the court.
Judge John Zakowski said that while he empathizes with the families of the victims, protection of the rights of everyone, including the defendant’s, must be weighed.
Sentencing is now scheduled for Sept. 19.
Ahmed pleaded no contest to three counts of second-degree reckless homicide for the June 28, 2020, Lombardi Avenue crash which killed Jessie Saldana, Sonia Gonzalez-Guillen and Sonia Gonzalez. Ahmed, 24, faces a maximum prison term of 25 years for each of the three counts.
According to the criminal complaint, Ahmed was driving 104 mph (in a 35mph zone) 1.2 seconds before the airbag deployed in his Dodge Charger. Data from the airbag computer module also shows the brake was engaged only 1.1 seconds before the airbag went off. The data shows the car was traveling 84 mph the tenth of a second before the airbag deployed.
