A 19-year-old unlicensed driver has admitted to purposely swerving on a country road in southern Minnesota, crashing and killing one of his four passengers. Dominik Nikko Boots-Ringoen pleaded guilty in Freeborn County District Court last week to criminal vehicular homicide in connection with the crash in August near Albert Lea that killed James J. Amarosa III, 17, of Albert Lea, and severely injured passenger Cameron M. Cunningham, who was 15 at the time, of Twin Lakes, Minn. Two other teenage passengers were slightly hurt.
