LAWRENCEVILLE, GA — A 21-year-old man has been indicted in connection with the Jan. 28 crash that killed a Georgia state trooper, Gwinnett County District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson's office said Thursday.

The district attorney's office said Gerson Danilo Ayala-Rodriguez was charged on suspicion of felony murder in connection with the crash that killed Georgia State Patrol trooper Jimmy Cenescar.

Additionally, Austin-Gatson's office said Ayala-Rodriguez was charged on suspicion of:

• First-degree vehicular homicide
• Tampering with evidence
• Three counts of fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer
• Reckless driving
• Speeding
• Two counts of driving without a license
• Operating a vehicle without insurance
• Operating an unregistered vehicle

A Gwinnett County grand jury indicted Ayala-Rodriguez on Wednesday, Austin-Gatson's office said.

Cenescar, 28, was attempting to pull over a motorcycle for a traffic violation around 5:30 p.m., when his vehicle left the road and hit an embankment, authorities previously said. He was on Interstate 85 north near Old Peachtree Road.

His patrol vehicle hit trees, shrubbery, a street sign and a retaining wall, Austin-Gatson's office said.

Emergency medical personnel tried to save Cenescar's life, but he later died at Northside Gwinnett Hospital, authorities previously said.

Ayala-Rodriguez was arrested in early February in Norcross in connection with Cenescar's death.

He was accused of speedily driving a Honda motorcycle; and when, Cenescar activated his blue lights, Austin-Gatson's office said Ayala-Rodriguez continued to weave in and out of traffic.

Ayala-Rodriguez fled from Cenescar, eventually reaching 140 mph and splitting lanes to pass vehicles, Austin-Gatson's office said.

"Cenescar had to take evasive action to avoid hitting civilian vehicles and lost control of his patrol car," read Austin-Gatson's news release.

After heading to the right, the patrol car when over the east shoulder of I-85 and hit a guardrail before traveling down the embankment, Austin-Gatson's office said. Cenescar's funeral was held in February.

Ayala-Rodriguez was accused of later destroying the motorcycle's license plate. He is currently being held in the Gwinnett County Jail without bond and awaiting trial, Austin-Gatson's office said.

“This was inexcusable, and we intend to prosecute this case to the fullest extent of the law," Austin-Gatson said in the release.
