A 16-year-old Keller boy has reportedly admitted to four counts of intoxication manslaughter in a horrific crash in Burleson.

The teen acknowledged his guilt in the June 15 crash that killed youth pastor Brian Jennings, 41; Breanna Mitchell, 24; Hollie Boyles, 52; and her daughter Shelby Boyles, 21.
