“Ink Master” star Daniel Silva was given a four-year suspended prison term due to his role in death of YouTuber Corey La Barrie.
Daniel Silva was accused of causing the May 2020 car crash that killed YouTuber Corey La Barrie. He has been sentenced to 364 days in county jail. As he already served 216 days, so the judge credited him for those days. Furthermore, the former tattoo artist was ordered to complete five years of probation and 250 hours of community service.
Attorney Mike Cavalluzzi says in a statement, “We are so grateful that Daniel has been granted the opportunity of probation in this case and has been spared a state prison sentence. He continues to be remorseful and grief-stricken by Corey’s loss. As we have said from the beginning, our hearts are with Corey’s family. While we are pleased with the Court’s sentence, this is no time to celebrate. A bright light has been lost in Corey, and Daniel will always strive to live up to his dear friend’s memory.”
At the time of the incident, Silva was behind the wheel of a McLaren. He lost control and crashed into a tree and stop sign in Los Angeles, Calif. La Barrie was a passenger in the vehicle and was transported to a local hospital immediately. At that time, Silva was arrested and charged with murder.
After the news of Silva’s sentencing broke, La Barrie’s close friend and fellow YouTube star J. David Alvarez wrote in the social media Twitter, “I don’t really know how I feel right now but I do know I miss you more than ever Corey.”
