KSDK – A passenger in a car that slammed into a minivan and killed five members of a family in 2022 was sentenced Friday.

Walter Burton Jr., 22, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in the May 6, 2022, crash that killed four adults and one child. He pleaded guilty to five counts of second-degree murder and multiple other crimes in connection with the crash.

Police said the events of the night started just before 9 p.m. when the department's Real Time Crime Center received a "hit" from its license plate recognition system. A stolen Jeep Cherokee, which was traveling east on Page Boulevard, was wanted for multiple crimes in multiple jurisdictions.
