A man from Fulton County is in prison after pleading guilty to his role in a fatal hit-and-run crash.

The wreck happened north of Akron in early November of 2021.

Brelynna Felix, a 12-year-old Tippecanoe Valley Middle School student, was killed.

A 15-year-old boy was also hurt in the wreck.

27-year-old Gage Rogers admitted to leaving the scene of the wreck in October as part of a plea agreement.

He’s now been given a 9-and-a-half year sentence.

Two years will be spent behind bars and the rest as part of a home detention program.
