19-year-old Ricci Michael Ricci was sentenced to 7 to 14 years for the 2017 killing of Somerville Police officer Louis Remigio.

Michael Ricci, a Burlington man who was racing his car on the highway when he struck and killed 30-year Somerville Police officer Louis Remigio, was sentenced to as much as 14 years in prison on Monday.

The 19-year-old Ricci was ordered to immediately begin serving his sentence of 7 to 14 years by a Rockingham Superior Court judge for his role in a deadly car crash in New Hampshire in 2017.

On October 4 of this year, Ricci pleaded guilty to one count of negligent homicide, two counts of second-degree assault and one count of reckless conduct.

55-year-old Louis Remigio was riding his motorcycle while off-duty on I-95 in North Hampton when he was struck by Ricci.

Ricci made the following statement in court prior to sentencing: “I understand the incredible loss and pain, and I accept the responsibility for my error in judgment that day. If I could go back in time and change things, I would do that. I would do that so Mr. Remigio would still be here. There is nothing that I can say today that will ease the pain. I just hope in time they know how deeply I regret my error that day.”
