Paul Walden DUI Murder Case Continued To April 10

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - The judge in the case of Paul Walden, the man accused of murder for the hit-and-run DUI crash in July that killed one person, injured another and killed four dogs, has granted a continuation in the case.

At a hearing on Friday, the judge determined the next hearing will take place on April 5 at 8:30 a.m.

On July 16 2012, Harison Long-Randall and his girlfriend Gemily West were walking West's four dogs across the intersection of Garfield Avenue and Engle Road in Carmichael when a speeding car came up and hit them. Long-Randall was able to push West out of the harm's way, but he was hit on the leg. All of the dogs were killed. West also suffered a serious leg injury during the incident.

Long-Randall lost his leg in the accident. About two weeks later, while recovering in the hospital, his condition worsened and he died.

Walden, 31, was arrested a few days after the crash as he left his mother's home in North Highlands. He was charged with driving under the influence and hit-and-run.

Walden has multiple previous DUI convictions.
