A Staten Island mother and her 20-year-old son have been arrested in Miami while attempting to leave the country just weeks after the son was allegedly involved in a deadly street-racing crash.
Alvi Limani was driving a BMW at dangerous speeds on the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey on June 29 when he lost control and smashed into two other cars – flipping multiple times in the air, according to police.
His passenger, Albion Hysenaj, 20, was ejected from the car and died at the scene.
Another passenger was also ejected and rushed to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital with serious injuries.
Police say Limani and a third passenger, Emily Harrington, 19, ran from the scene of the crash.
Video footage shared on social media appears to show Limani being led off a plane in with his mother, Vilma Vneshta, 42, after they allegedly attempted to escape the country.
Detectives tracked them down and arrested both on July 17.
A TikTok video posted last week by user @Jhongb85 showed a massive police presence at a New York airport as the duo were escorted down a staircase and loaded into a police car for extradition back to New Jersey.
Prosecutors have charged Limani with first-degree aggravated manslaughter, second-degree vehicular homicide, and second-degree knowingly leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death.
He was also charged with third-degree causing death while driving with a suspended license, two counts of third-degree endangering an injured victim, two counts of third-degree endangering and third-degree tampering with public records.
Manwhile, Vneshta was charged with third-degree hindering.
Harrington was also hit with charges of third-degree hindering, fourth-degree obstruction and fourth-degree conspiracy to endanger another.
Police say the other driver allegedly involved in the race, Jeter Ogando, 23, of Perth Amboy, is charged with second-degree vehicular homicide, third-degree endangering another and fourth-degree assault by auto.
The investigation is ongoing.
