SARASOTA, Fla. — A man was arrested for DUI Manslaughter for a crash in April that killed a 21-year-old Bradenton man.

On April 19 Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said Kevin Hernandez-Alonso, 21 from Bradenton, was driving a BMW vehicle westbound on Northgate Boulevard in Sarasota at a high rate of speed at about 2:45 a.m., when he lost control of the car.

The car rotated, drove over a curb and hit a tree.

The victim, who was the rear passenger, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver and a front passenger suffered minor injuries.

FHP said that after an "exhaustive criminal investigation," they arrested Hernandez-Alonso for DUI Manslaughter on Monday (May 19).

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
