The New Jersey man accused of killing two teen girls laughed off his critics in a livestream just one day after he allegedly killed them, boasting about the "engagement" he was getting.
Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas, both 17, were riding electric bikes on Sept. 29, 2025, in Cranford, New Jersey, when now-18-year-old Vincent Battiloro deliberately struck them with his vehicle, prosecutors allege. He was charged with murder as an adult on Friday, June 26.
Just one day after allegedly killing the two 17-year-olds, Battiloro got on a YouTube video game livestream and boasted about the "engagement" he was getting from people commenting on the killings.
Two teenagers were killed in a hit-and-run, and police allege that a 17-year-old boy is responsible. (Gofundme and FOX5)
"The more you guys engage in the chat, the more you give me engagement and I get paid for YouTube. Just letting you all know. That's fine. That's fine. Y'all are just giving me engagement, that's fine," he said. ""I'm not doing s--- until people stop messaging negativity."
