New Jersey authorities have made public the chilling audio from several 911 calls following a tragic incident last month in which a 17-year-old boy allegedly ran over two girls in Cranford. The shocking event, which claimed the lives of Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas, both also 17, has prompted a wave of grief and anger within the community.

According to NJ.com, a total of seven emergency calls were placed in the chaotic moments after the incident on September 29. Callers described a heartbreaking scene, with one male voice confirming the girls’ unresponsiveness, while a female caller labeled the incident a hit-and-run. “Nobody’s conscious, nobody. Everyone’s done, not moving,” the man reported to the emergency dispatcher.

Prosecutors have alleged that the teenage suspect was traveling at a dangerous speed of 70 miles per hour in a 25 mph zone when he struck the girls, fleeing the scene immediately afterward. This has intensified the outrage, especially as the family of Maria Niotis believes the attack was premeditated.

Niotis’ family has claimed that the suspect had been stalking her, with a disturbing history that included a protective order issued against him. They allege that he spent three months parked outside her home, raising questions about why he was not apprehended sooner. This tragic incident has sparked a broader conversation about the enforcement of protective measures and the prevention of such devastating acts.

The teen boy was accused of stalking Niotis, who reportedly had a protective order against him. Reports indicated that he parked outside her home for three months and was never arrested.

A day after the deadly crash, he allegedly took to YouTube to claim he was bullied. During the livestream, he reportedly mentioned all the engagement he was receiving from viewers who admonished him for Salas and Niotis’ slayings.

“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 it’s a shame,” he allegedly commented during the livestream.

The teen was arrested two days after Niotis and Salas’ deaths. Though he remains jailed on two counts of first-degree murder, he has not been charged as an adult. The New York Post reported that Union County prosecutors have until December to petition to have the case moved from juvenile to adult court.
