Sheriff: Teen charged with manslaughter after driving into Davenport home, killing one resident
TOWN OF DAVENPORT, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – An 18-year-old Otsego County man has been charged with manslaughter, vehicular assault, and driving while impaired on drugs after driving his car into a Davenport home with residents inside in September 2024, with injuries to one resident eventually leading to their death, Delaware Sheriff Craig S. DuMond announced Friday.
Jayden E. Aviles, of Maryland, New York, was arrested and charged with Driving while Ability Impaired by Drugs, Vehicular Manslaughter 2nd degree, Vehicular Assault in the 1st degree, Vehicular Assault 2nd degree and Moving from a Lane Unsafely on April 1 by the Delaware County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division.
Aviles is accused of, on Sept. 29, 2024, driving his car into a Town of Davenport home on State Highway 23. At the time of the report, police had learned Aviles was walking around inside of the residence following the crash.
First responders to the scene found multiple residents inside the home with serious injuries; including one victim with a fractured femur and head trauma, and another with major head trauma in critical condition.
Aviles was interviewed at the scene, showing signs of impairment. Officers conducted a field sobriety test with Aviles, the results of which led to his arrest. He was then taken to the Delaware County Sheriff's Office for a drug influence evaluation, where it was determined he'd been impaired by marijuana.
Later that night, Deputies were informed the victim in critical condition with head trauma had died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash.
On March 20, the facts and circumstances of the investigation were presented to the Delaware County Grand Jury, at which point the jury handed down an indictment charging Aviles with the charges mentioned.
On April 1, members of the Delaware County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division arrested Aviles. Following the arraignment, Aviles was released on pre-trial release conditions directing him to surrender his passport, NYS Drivers License, not to leave the Delaware, Otsego, and Chenango County area, and to maintain communication with the Delaware County Probation Department.
Aviles is scheduled to re-appear at the Delaware County Court at a later date for further Court Action.
