If he killed her due to just reckless driving it’s another matter (still bad). But there’s just no excuse for getting behind the wheel drunk. Particularly in Las Vegas of all places where taxi’s, ride sharing, etc are so plentiful. Show off the corvette during the day when you’re not drunk if you must. Hell, apparently the NFLPA will even provide free transportation per request for these exact type of situations.

Another infuriating part of these stories is how often the offenders walk away without a scratch.

Hypothetically, taxis and such can prevent this stuff.  However, if you're drunk, your thought process is impeded, so you won't necessarily make the right decision.  Lots of people make dumb decisions while they're under the influence.

Problem is, in society, it's ok to drive drunk unless you kill somebody.  If society was serious about stopping this stuff, bars wouldn't exist.  Restaurants that serve alcohol would be required to take the keys of patrons before serving them and not return them until the can blow under the legal limit on a breathalyzer.
