Rodriguez-Ramirez was convicted by a jury in March of the two felony charges.
At about 11:30 p.m. on Dec. 30, Rodriguez-Ramirez was driving a black Land Rover SUV near East Colfax Avenue and Nome Street when she hit 36-year-old Antonio Colson who was crossing the street with his wife. Colson died of his injuries. His wife was not injured.
Rodriguez-Ramirez sped away, but turned off her headlights and returned to the scene, according to a news release. She claimed to not know she had hit anyone, but the impact was so hard it caused Colson to fly 60 feet into the air, broke one of her headlights and crushed her car door, prosecutors said.
