Wrongful Death Man Accused of Killing Lexington Attorney Had Previous Alcohol Arrests

The man accused of hitting and killing a Lexington attorney has had previous alcohol arrest charges, officials confirm.

Police say Odilon Paz Salvador was behind the wheel of the vehicle that struck attorney Mark Hinkel during the Horsey Hundred on Lemons Mill Road near the Sutton Place subdivision. Paz-Salvador is charged with murder, wanton endangerment, leaving the scene of a fatal accident and failure to render aid. Paz-Salvador was charged with DUI after police found beer inside the vehicle. They say that he also confessed to smoking marijuana.

International Customs Enforcement agents confirm that deportation proceedings are pending against the man accused of hitting and killing a Lexington attorney during a bicycle race. According to ICE, Paz-Salvador’s deportation proceedings are currently pending in federal immigration court. A detainer was placed on Paz-Salvador following his arrest on criminal charges.

Officials with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet could not confirm that Paz-Salvador had a driver’s license.

“”There is no record of a Kentucky driver’s license for Odilon Paz-Salvador. Our records are destroyed after a period of five years, so we do not have historical information to determine if there has been a license issued to him in the past,” officials with KTC told LEX 18.

Paz-Salvador had a previous arrest for alcohol intoxication back in 2010 and two other DUI arrests in Scott County: one in July in 2010 and one in April of 2011.

Family members of Paz-Salvador told LEX 18 that the crash was a complete accident and that he was scared in the aftermath of the crash.

“I don’t want him to be viewed as a criminal. I want him to be viewed as someone who did something on accident. He didn’t have no intentions to do this at all,” says Alejandroy Wray, Paz-Salvador’s nephew.

Hinkel’s funeral mass was held at Christ the King Cathedral Tuesday.
