Alvi Limani is accused of driving recklessly and racing on the Garden State Parkway, causing a crash that killed Albion Hysenaj and injuring another passenger. Limani and his mother, Vilma Vneshta, were arrested after attempting to flee to Albania.
A Staten Island man and his mother are facing numerous charges, including aggravated manslaughter and hindering apprehension, after authorities allege he caused a fatal crash in Plainsboro, New Jersey , during a dangerous BMW street race .
Alvi Limani, 20, is charged with aggravated manslaughter, vehicular homicide, multiple counts of reckless assault by auto, endangering others, obstruction, tampering with records, leaving the scene of a fatal crash, and causing death or serious injury while driving with a revoked license. His mother, Vilma Vneshta, 42, is charged with hindering in the third degree. Both are currently being held at the Middlesex County Adult Correctional Center without bail. New Jersey State Police (NJSP) responded to a call on Garden State Parkway South just after 7 p.m. on June 29, where they found Albion Hysenaj, 20, of Staten Island, and another 20-year-old Staten Island resident ejected from their car. Hysenaj and the 20-year-old were taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, but Hysenaj was later pronounced dead, according to NJSP. The other individual sustained serious injuries. The Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office determined that two BMW cars were racing on the Garden State Parkway when the crash occurred. Limani was allegedly driving one of the BMWs recklessly and racing on the Garden State Parkway when his car collided with two other vehicles and rolled over multiple times, according to arrest warrants. Limani is accused of weaving through traffic and driving at 112 miles per hour in a 55 miles per hour speed zone. Police said the rollover caused Hysenaj and the 20-year-old passenger to be ejected from the vehicle.Following the crash, authorities accused Limani and his girlfriend, Emily Harrington, 19, of Staten Island, of leaving the scene. Harrington, who was in the passenger seat, is charged with hindering, obstruction, and conspiracy to endanger another person. The other alleged BMW street racer, Jeter Ogando, 23, of Perth Amboy, is charged with second-degree vehicular homicide, endangering another person, and assault by auto. Days after the crash, detectives discovered Limani fled to Miami in an attempt to leave the country with his mother, Vneshta. The pair were arrested on July 17 near Miami, Florida. Detectives noted they purchased both a Florida ID, same-day passport, and plane tickets to Tirana, Albania. Video footage showed Limani and Vneshta being handcuffed on the tarmac. According to jail records, both Limani and Vneshta are listed as non-citizens. Vneshta is Albanian and believed to still have roots in Albania, detectives wrote in an affidavit. The mother-son duo are currently being held at the Middlesex County Department of Corrections, according to jail records. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office did not immediately respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital
