Texas Man Sentenced to 60 Years for Killing 8 Migrants near Border
A Texas jury sentenced George Alvarez, the driver who lost control of his vehicle, killing the migrants outside a homeless shelter in May 2023, to 60 years in prison. Alvarez learned his fate on Friday after deliberations concluded on the eight counts of intoxication manslaughter. Barely one year passed since the eight migrants were killed during an early morning car crash in the border town of Brownsville, Texas.
