Authorities in Cranford, N.J., have charged a 17-year-old with two counts of first-degree murder following the deaths of two 17-year-old girls who were fatally struck while riding an e-bike on the evening of Monday, Sept. 29.

According to neighbors, the suspect had allegedly been stalking one of the victims prior to the incident, raising concerns that the crash may have been intentional. The tragic deaths have shaken the quiet community, where friends and classmates gathered this week to mourn the young victims.

Police say the investigation remains ongoing, and the accused teen is being held while prosecutors prepare to pursue charges in juvenile court, with the possibility of waiver to adult court due to the severity of the case.
