Man accused in 2016 hit-and-run killing of Ryan Jimmo pleads guilty to manslaughter

Nearly two years after he was struck and killed in a hit-and-run, there soon will be a resolution in Ryan Jimmo’s death.

Anthony Getschel originally was charged with second-degree murder, along with criminal negligence causing death, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, and failure to stop at the scene of an accident involving a death. But according to the CBC, Getschel today agreed to a guilty plea of manslaughter and hit-and-run.

Getschel is scheduled to be sentenced next week in Edmonton.

Jimmo, a former UFC fighter, was killed June 26, 2016, when a truck driven by Getschel ran him over in a parking lot after an argument. Jimmo was 34.

Getschel and Jordan Wagner, one of the passengers in his truck who originally was charged with accessory to murder after the fact, reportedly did not know Jimmo prior to the incident. Getschel’s girlfriend was in the truck, as well, according to a statement of facts from today’s court proceedings, CBC reported.

Getschel allegedly drove the truck that ran Jimmo over. Jimmo later died in a hospital from blunt force trauma. After fleeing the scene, Getschel hid his truck, then returned for it the next day and removed the license plate and ordered a new plate. He was taken into custody after turning himself in June 28, 2016.

Jimmo had a 19-5 MMA record and went 3-4 in the UFC. He was released from the promotion after a decision loss in May 2015.
