UPPER MARLBORO, Md. — Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Tara Jackson announced Nov. 4, 2025, that 25-year-old Cori Clingman has pleaded guilty to three counts of negligent homicide under the influence of alcohol for her role in a July 2024 crash that killed three young men, including Minnesota Vikings cornerback Khyree Jackson.
The crash, which occurred shortly after 3 a.m. on July 6, 2024, on northbound Route 4 (Pennsylvania Avenue) near Presidential Parkway, claimed the lives of Jackson, 24, of Waldorf; Isaiah Hazel, 23, of Upper Marlboro; and Anthony Lytton Jr., 24, of Upper Marlboro.
Investigators said Clingman and the victims — friends who had been at the same location earlier that night — were driving separate vehicles at high speeds when Clingman attempted to change lanes and struck the men’s Dodge Charger. The Charger veered off the road, hit several tree stumps, and came to rest along the shoulder. Hazel, who was driving, and Jackson were pronounced dead at the scene. Lytton was transported to the University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.
Clingman, who had two passengers in her Infiniti Q50, was not injured. Investigators determined that alcohol was a contributing factor in the crash.
Under the plea agreement, Clingman will remain on home detention until her sentencing on Feb. 4, 2026, at 10 a.m. Each count carries a maximum sentence of five years. Prosecutors plan to recommend a total of 15 years, suspending all but three years to be served consecutively.
“While today’s plea brings a measure of accountability, I know that it cannot ease the heartbreak or bring back Khyree, Isaiah, and Anthony, whose lives were lost in this devastating crash,” Jackson said in a statement. “I hope that this case serves as a reminder of how quickly lives can change and brings greater awareness to our community about the dangers of reckless and impaired driving.”
Jackson added that as the holiday season approaches, drivers should make safe choices behind the wheel. “The choices we make behind the wheel carry real consequences,” she said, thanking prosecutors and Maryland State Police for their work on the case.
Following the crash, the Minnesota Vikings issued statements mourning Jackson, who had recently been drafted to the team. Vikings owners Mark and Zygi Wilf, Head Coach Kevin O’Connell, and General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah each described Jackson as a talented athlete with a bright future and a person whose energy and resilience inspired those around him.
The case remains a sobering reminder, officials said, of how impaired driving can forever alter multiple lives in a single moment.

Seems like such a short stint behind bars for being responsible for the loss of three lives.
She should get more time than that.
She’ll spend less than 3 years after time served which means she’s probably already been released… She spent less than a year for each life she recklessly killed! I don’t think 5 years maximum sentence is enough time for manslaughter while intoxicated! She knows what risk she takes when driving impaired-fatal drunk driving should be homicide (coming from someone convicted of DUI)!
