A 34-year-old man has received a term topping six years for a hit-and-run crash on a street in Willmar, Minn., that killed a pedstrian.

Paulo Natividad Portillo of Willmar was sentenced Tuesday in Kandiyohi County District Court after pleading guilty to criminal vehicular homicide in connection with the collision on Dec. 26, 2023, that killed Jason Daniel Jarvis, 52, of Cokato, Minn.

With credit for time in jail since his arrest, Portillo is expected to serve about 3â…“ years in prison and the balance on supervised release.

The criminal complaint noted that Portillo's license was suspended at the time of the incident.

According to the complaint and police, Portillo turned himself in at the Willmar Police Department a day after the crash at the well-traveled intersection of S. 1st Street and Willmar Avenue.

Officers determined Jarvis was crossing near the intersection's southeast corner when he was hit by a car heading north on 1st Avenue. He died at a nearby hospital.

Portillo said he didn't see Jarvis before it was too late. He told law enforcement he knew he hit someone but didn't stop because he was drunk after drinking at a friend's home.
