Miguel Ibarra Cerda, the man accused of killing a 14-year-old boy riding his bicycle in Wixom, has pleaded guilty as charged.

Cerda, a Mexican native and illegal alien, appeared in Oakland County Circuit Court last week where he plead guilty during a pretrial hearing. He is charged with failure to stop at the scene of an accident and reckless driving causing death.

He is due back in court on December 20 for sentencing.

Cerda is accused of fatally striking Justin Lee, who was riding a bicycle along Potter Road on June 11, and fleeing the scene. Lee was taken to a nearby hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.

Based on information by witnesses, investigators identified Cerda as the person behind the wheel. A tip led police to Lansing where he was arrested the next day. It was believed he was headed to Mexico.
