A Virginia man was found guilty Wednesday in a 2022 car crash that killed two teens walking home from Oakton High School, Fairfax County authorities said.

Usman Shahid, 20, was convicted on two counts of manslaughter in the June 7, 2022, deaths of Ada Gabriela Martinez Nolasco, 14, and Leeyan Hanjia Yan, 15, who were both students at Oakton. A jury in Fairfax County Circuit Court also sentenced Shahid on Friday to four years behind bars, though the sentence will be finalized by a judge later this year.

An attorney for Shahid did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The crash occurred shortly after Oakton High let out on one of the last days of the school year, police said.

The Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office said in a news release that on the morning of the crash, Shahid drove “significantly above the 35-mph speed limit” on Blake Lane in the Oakton area. A crash expert in Shahid’s case testified that a data recorder suggested he accelerated from 60 mph to 81 mph on the roadway within five seconds before the crash, authorities said.

When Shahid approached the intersection, he collided with an SUV that was attempting to make a left turn onto Five Oaks Road. Officials said Shahid’s vehicle then veered onto the sidewalk, fatally striking the two girls. The crash also injured a third teen as the three juveniles walked home, officials said.

“This is one of the most tragic cases in Fairfax County’s history,” Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano said in a statement. “I have a daughter just a few months younger than Ada and Leeyan were — and I can’t imagine how broken I would be in her absence.”

A sentencing hearing in the case is scheduled for July 19, officials said.
