After a four-day trial in district court, a Scott County jury on Thursday found Bobby Fitzgerald Hunt Jr. guilty of homicide by vehicle and other charges in connection with the death of 40-year-old bicyclist Alex Marietta on June 3 of last year.
The jury heard evidence that Hunt, 33, was driving his 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe westbound on Kimberly Road and was cutting through traffic. He ran the red light at Eastern Avenue and continued westbound.
Hunt then ran the red light at Davenport Avenue, striking and killing Marietta, who was on his bicycle.
