As News Center 7 previously reported, Riverside police were called to the crash in the 3100 block of Old Troy Pike.
When police arrived, they found a Nissan Pathfinder that had hit a Cheverloet Impala head-on.
The driver of the Impala, 54-year-old Michael Jumper, was dead.
An investigation found that Suleymanov had stolen the Nissan just a few minutes earlier, less than a mile and a half away.
Data from the car showed that Suleymanov was driving nearly 100 mph in a 40 mph zone.
He lost control, ran off the road, overcorrected, and hit Jumper at a speed of more than 70 mph.
He did not have a driver’s license.
Earlier this month, Suleymanov was found guilty of charges of involuntary manslaughter, aggravated vehicular homicide, and grand theft.
