- KODIAK, Alaska (AP) - A man involved in a deadly street race has pleaded guilty in an agreement with prosecutors. The Kodiak Daily Mirror reports 21-year-old Markryan Portillo pleaded guilty Friday to criminally negligent homicide and assault in the October 2011 death of 19-year-old Austin Van Long. He had been facing second-degree murder and assault charges. Sentencing was set for April 22. Police say William Mecham and Portillo were engaged in a high-speed street race in October 2011 across Fred Zharoff Memorial Bridge when the accident occurred. Long was a passenger in Portillo's vehicle. As the two vehicles drove side-by-side across the bridge, a truck tried to cross the bridge in the opposite direction. Mecham swerved to miss the truck but hit Portillo's vehicle. Mecham earlier received a five-year jail sentence in the death.
