Does not pass WP:NEVENT. The coverage is not WP:INDEPTH enough to write a satisfactory article, and the coverage is not particularly sustained. Nothing between sentencing and incident, or since. On the balance of things this does not pass our guidelines and there is not enough to write a decent article. This wasn't even intentional, they sentenced him over intoxication manslaughter, so I would oppose merging it to any attack list. We could probably merge it for two sentences to Brownsville, Texas#21st century, because it seems locally significant, but there isn't anything to say besides it happened, no background or aftermath, etc. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:33, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete No lasting coverage past when the incident occurred except for a couple articles about the conviction, which also didn't get any lasting coverage after a day or two. NOTNEWS certainly applies here. QuicoleJR (talk) 19:26, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
