Mother and son arrested at Miami airport after fatal New Jersey street racing crash and escape attempt
A Staten Island man and his mother are facing a slew of charges, including aggravated manslaughter and hindering apprehension, after authorities say he caused a deadly 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 being held at the Middlesex County Adult Correctional Center without bail. New Jersey State Police (NJSP) responded to Garden State Parkway south just after 7 p.m. on June 29 and found Albion Hysenaj, 20, of Staten Island, and another 20-year-old Staten Island resident, who were 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 20-year-old suffered serious injuries. The Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office determined two BMW cars were racing on the Garden State Parkway when the crash happened. Limani was allegedly driving one of the BMWs recklessly and racing on the Garden State Parkway when his car hit two other cars and rolled over multiple times, according to arrest warrants. Limani is accused of weaving through traffic and driving 112 miles per hour in a 55 miles per hour speed zone. Police said the rollover caused two of Limani's occupants, Hysenaj and the 20-year-old, to be ejected. Following the crash, officials 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 realized 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, and detectives noted they purchased both a Florida ID, same-day passport, and plane tickets to Tirana, Albania. Video footage showed Limani and Vneshta being cuffed on the tarmac. According to jail records, both Limani and Vneshta are listed as non-citizens. "Vneshta is Albanian and [is] believed to still have roots there," 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.

Mother and son, 20, arrested while trying to flee the U.S. after he caused deadly street-racing crash in New Jersey
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. His passenger, Albion Hysenaj, 20, was ejected from the car and died at the scene. Another passenger was also ejected and taken 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.
