DES MOINES, Iowa [KCCI] — A 19-year-old who pleaded guilty to multiple crimes in a crash that killed a Des Moines couple was recently sentenced to up to 20 years in prison. Kameron Wright was convicted of vehicular homicide and operating while intoxicated in the deadly 2023 crash. It happened on East University near the Iowa State Fairgrounds in November of that year. Wright was also ordered to pay $300,000 in restitution. 76-year-old Fred Lehman and his wife, 79-year-old Mary Lehman, were killed in the crash. Officials say Wright apologized during his sentencing, saying his selfishness killed the Lehmans.

Several family members of the Lehmans gave victim impact statements at sentencing, including the couple’s daughter, Michelle Vry, who said her parents would believed in second chances, but also accountability for one’s actions.

Vry said her parents would have forgiven Wright, and she does as well.
