A 17-year-old TikToker with nearly 40,000 followers has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder after he allegedly ran over two teenage girls in Cranford, New Jersey. Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas, both 17 years old, were riding an electric bike together when they were hit by a black Jeep Compass on Monday, September 29, 2025, around 5:30 p.m. on Burnside Avenue. Both girls were taken to local hospitals but died from their injuries.
According to local news outlet NJ1015, police arrested the suspect shortly after what happened but did not officially charge him until two days later. Even though the allegations were serious, the teenager went live on YouTube the next day to play MLB The Show with a gaming friend. During the broadcast, he complained about online backlash and even bragged about how much engagement his stream was getting.
