(KNZA)--A Kansas City, Missouri man has been convicted of charges in connection with a 2022 head-on crash in Jefferson County that claimed the life of a Kansas Air National Guard airman.

In a ruling issued last Thursday, Jefferson County District Judge Christopher Etzel found Manuel Enriquez guilty on charges of second-degree murder and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs following a bench trial in June.

Sentencing was set for August 22.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says Enriquez was driving a pickup truck on U.S. 24 Highway in Jefferson County on November 12, 2022 when he crossed the center line and collided head-on with a car driven by 23-year-old Cheyanne Branson, of Diana, Texas.

Branson was pronounced dead a the scene. Enriquez was not hurt.
