Pena, who was off-duty and allegedly speeding while intoxicated, now faces 4 to 12 years in prison. Justin’s family, devastated by the loss, has spent a year demanding justice, with his brother calling the sentence too light and urging lawmakers to strengthen penalties. Pena’s attorney says he’s deeply remorseful, wishing he could undo the night. In honor of Justin, a street has been renamed, and his loved ones remember him as a vibrant soul who lived boldly — a reminder to cherish every moment.
