In that incident, she ran a red light, and struck and killed 52-year-old Keith Allen Davis, who was in another vehicle, in Plant City in 2014. 

She was charged then with DUI manslaughter and driving without a valid license. Carvajal was sentenced to five years in prison. 

The maximum sentence for DUI manslaughter is 15 years in prison. 

When she was released in October 2019, Carvajal was placed on five years probation. 

The fiancee of the man she killed, Susan Blain, told Fox13 at the time that she believed the sentence was sufficient. 

'I want her to get help,' Blain said. 

'I'm not at the stage of forgiving her yet, but I want her to get help. He was a good person. He would help anybody, give the shirt off his back.'
