Summary

14-year-old Gavin Knupp was killed in a hit and run on July 11, 2022. While locals thought they knew who was behind the wheel, it took nearly a year to charge 22-year-old Tyler Mailloux, a young man from a prominent family in MD. 

After a previous judge tossed the charges due to a technicality, an appeals court reinstated the charges. Tyler pleaded guilty to a single charge of failing to stop at the scene of a fatal hit-and-run accident sentenced to a total of ten years with all but 18 months suspended
