Driver Gets 1 Year For DaQuan Sales’ Death

DaQuan Sales was on his bicycle on Elmhurst Road in Dayton last June when he was hit and killed by a car driven by Antwonne McGuinnis.

Police said McGuinnis was intoxicated and driving without a license. On Thursday, a judge gave him the maximum penalty for the boy’s death, which is one year in jail.

A grand jury never indicted McGinnis for Sales’ death.

On Thursday, News Center 7 talked with Magistrate Collette Moorman, who sentenced McGuinnis, and she said she would like to see tougher laws in Ohio for drunken drivers who are involved in crashes that leave people dead.
