US EditionDriver Accused of Killing Endicott College Police Sgt. Extradited to New Hampshire
- Keoma Duarte, 40, was extradited to New Hampshire on June 3, 2025, to face charges related to a fatal wrong-way crash in Newbury, Massachusetts.
- The extradition occurred after an arrest warrant was issued in December charging Duarte in connection with the November 27, 2024, collision that resulted in the death of Endicott College public safety officer Jeremy Cole.
- Duarte was driving a 2023 Tesla Model Y southbound in the northbound lanes of Interstate 95 when he collided head-on with Cole’s 2021 Chevy Trailblazer at midnight, killing the 49-year-old sergeant.
- Authorities determined Duarte’s blood alcohol concentration was 0.19 at the hospital, exceeding the legal limit by over double. Officers also discovered marijuana and multiple empty mini vodka bottles in his car, and prosecutors reported that he denied being involved in the incident when questioned at the scene.
- On June 4, 2025, Duarte appeared for arraignment in Hampton District Court, where he was charged with manslaughter, motor vehicle homicide while intoxicated, reckless conduct, and failing to obey an officer; the investigation into the crash is ongoing.
