Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Friday, Luis Genaro Pérez-García, 34, was sentenced to 28 years in prison, must serve 18 years of confinement and 10 years of extended supervision for the May 2024 hit-and-run vehicular homicides of two Nicaraguan brothers. Pérez-García in a plea agreement with  prosecutors pled guilty to two felony counts for hit-and-run involving deaths,  and must be served consecutive (separately) sentences, for early Cinco de Mayo 2024 (May 5th) double vehicular homicides of Ausberto Gutiérrez, 41, aka, "Beto Ausberton" and Michael "Maycol" Gutiérrez, 39, originally from Nicaragua at the 1900 block of W. Lincoln Ave. in the Southside of Milwaukee.

Under the plea agreement, several felony counts were dismissed, but read on the record.

Pérez-García was ordered to pay $6,500 restitution to an individual and $7,700 to a second individual, according to Milwaukee County court records.

According to the criminal complaint, Pérez-García was driving a vehicle heading Eastbound on W. Lincoln Ave., and struck both the Gutiérrez brothers who were standing by a parked vehicle on the driver's side facing the street, several other people were also inside the parked vehicle, which was also struck. Pérez-García did not stop and fled the scene.

Police investigating the hit-and-run deaths recovered nearby video surveillance camera footage in the area showing a White SUV heading Eastbound on W. Lincoln Ave. with damage to the front passenger's side of the SUV and a broken left headlight.

Milwaukee police later located a White Chevrolet Traverse SUV at S. 5th Street and W. Arthur Ave., and took Pérez-García into custody.

Apparently, the Gutiérrez brothers had just arrived at their destination (residence) with a woman who gave them a ride and they were saying goodbye to her and giving her some money for the ride, when Pérez-García fatally struck both of them and fled the scene.
