Overview
- Two 17-year-old girls riding an e-bike were struck on Sept. 29, 2025, and later died after the driver fled the scene, officials said.
- Prosecutors announced on June 26, 2026, that 18-year-old Vincent Battiloro will be tried as an adult on two counts of first-degree murder.
- Investigators and court records say the SUV was traveling at least 70 mph in a 25 mph zone, that Battiloro intentionally struck the teens, and that he abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot.
- Battiloro was detained after the crash, released to his father, and then arrested two days later following an extensive investigation, according to police records.
- Family members allege prior stalking and attempts to seek a restraining order but those claims remain unconfirmed as the case moves into the adult criminal division where punishment and trial procedures differ from juvenile court.
