NJ Teen Accused of Intentionally Killing Best Friends Riding E-Bike to Appear in Court
Battiloro is accused of intentionally driving into two 17-year-old girls, and his previous court appearance was held virtually.
- On Monday, 18-year-old Vincent Battiloro is scheduled to appear in court in Elizabeth for an arraignment on an adult indictment charging him with two counts of first-degree murder.
- Battiloro is accused of intentionally driving a vehicle into 17-year-old best friends Isabella Salas and Maria Niotis while they were riding an e-bike on Burnside Avenue last year.
- Although initially charged as a juvenile because he was 17 at the time of the incident, Battiloro now faces adult charges in his first in-person court appearance after previous proceedings were held virtually.
- Friends, relatives, and an attorney representing the Niotis family have alleged a history of harassment involving Battiloro before the crash; hundreds gathered at a vigil on Burnside Avenue to honor the two girls.
- Last month marked one year since Salas and Niotis were killed. The criminal case remains ongoing as community supporters continue to press for justice in Cranford.
