Chilling details emerge from the New Jersey hit-and-run case that shook the Internet over the accused Vincent Battiloro’s brazen attitude hours after he intentionally hit and killed two teens. On September 29, Maria Niotis and Isabella Rose Salas, two best friends, went on an afternoon e-bike ride. They were struck by a car and were killed. It looked like an accident until another teen, Vincent Battiloro, who is also from the neighborhood, went on live that night. He was detained and questioned and was released only to be arrested formally and charged with double murder.
‘When’s the jail stream?’
Battiloro sat live on a gaming platform and posted the same on TikTok as he spoke about what happened hours before in which two girls died. In the comment section, people called him ‘monster’ and asked when he would be streaming from jail. Battiloro calmly chastised them, saying that the more people engage in his live chat, the more engagement he gets and the more money he will make from YouTube. Then he turned off the chat function and spoke about the crash and said he was a victim too. “I’m a nice kid. I’m 17 years old with a good family by my side. And these allegations that have been ruining everything, is a shame,” he said. “You are opening up Pandora’s box, getting the family involved,” he threatened once again, speaking of his influential family. Christopher Battiloro, the police chief of nearby Westfield, is the uncle of the accused but he distanced himself from the incident and said he condemns the action.
Why did Vattiloro target two teens?
Reports claimed that Battiloro has been fixated on Maria for months. He used to stalk him after Maria accused Battiloro of child porn and complained to the school principal and also filed a police report.Days before the hit-and-run, Battiloro ordered pizza to Maria’s house to prank her. Maria’s mother called the police and informed about the stalking but no action was taken. Vincent used to take Maria’s name a lot in his livestreams. “You should not have accused me of sending porn, and you should not have dragged me into creating a police report,” he said. “You made a bad decision, making a bad name of myself.”Once he said Maria mocked Charlie Kirk’s murder by resharing something critical of Kirk on TikTok.
