Chino Hills man faces DUI vehicular manslaughter charge in 2017 crash in Orange County

Last Updated on July 10, 2018 by CCAR Staff

A 25-year-old Chino Hills man made his first court appearance Monday on a vehicular manslaughter charge stemming from an allegedly alcohol-fueled crash on the 91 Freeway in Orange County.

Julian Bautista was charged in April with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, with sentencing enhancements for allegedly inflicting great bodily injury on two additional victims, according to court records. Bautista was arrested Friday on a warrant charging him with manslaughter.

Bautista is accused of killing 21-year-old Guadalupe Ramirez of Lynwood in a March 25, 2017, collision near the Euclid Street off-ramp involving a Jeep and a Toyota. Two other victims were injured in the crash that occurred about 2:40 a.m. in the Anaheim/Fullerton area.

Bautista is accused of “inattention” and driving at an unsafe speed, according to court records.

Bautista’s arraignment Monday was rescheduled for July 27.
