Motorist with DUI history charged with vehicular murder.

Viet Quoc Nguyen, 25, will face vehicular-homicide, drunken-driving and other charges in a hit-and-run accident that killed a 21-year-old Westminster woman early Saturday.

Police said 21-year-old Jenna Breen was killed at West 118th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard in Westminster when Nguyen sped through a red light in his Porsche and slammed into the driver's side of her car.

The Adams County district attorney's office said Thursday that Nguyen also is charged with leaving the scene of an accident, driving under a license restraint and violation of a traffic-control signal.

Nguyen, of Federal Heights, had three drunken-driving arrests between between 2006 and 2011, court records show. He also had prior convictions for underage drinking, receiving stolen property, driving with a suspended license, drug dealing, theft, disorderly conduct and drug possession.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said. The victim's identity had not been determined as of late Wednesday afternoon. The body was turned over to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office.

Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
