A Prince George’s County woman pleaded guilty to three charges Friday in connection with the 2024 crash that killed three Wise High alumni, including Minnesota Vikings rookie Khyree Jackson, prosecutors said.
According to the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s office, Cori Clingman pleaded guilty to three counts of negligent homicide under the influence of alcohol.
The crash, which occurred on Route 4/Pennsylvania Avenue in Upper Marlboro in July 2024, killed Jackson, 24, from Waldorf, as well as Isaiah Hazel, 23, and Anthony Lytton, Jr., 24, who were both from Upper Marlboro.
The Vikings selected Jackson in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft after the cornerback spent two seasons at Alabama and finished his college career at Oregon. A first-team All-Pac-12 pick by The Associated Press last season, Jackson tied for second in the conference with three interceptions and had been competing for a starting spot on the team’s defense at the time of the crash.
Clingman was indicted on 13 counts in January, including vehicular manslaughter. She will remain on home detention until her scheduled sentencing hearing on February 4, 2026.
“While today’s plea brings a measure of accountability, I know that it cannot ease the heartbreak or bring back Khyree, Isaiah, and Anthony, whose lives were lost in this devastating crash,” said State’s Attorney Jackson.
Clingman will remain on home detention until her sentencing, scheduled for Feb. 4, 2026, at 10 a.m. Each count carries a maximum penalty of five years. Prosecutors plan to recommend a 15-year sentence, with all but three years suspended.
