Man In New York Charged With Criminally Negligent Homicide

A Port Chester man was arrested by county police today and charged with two counts of Criminally
Negligent Homicide in the deaths of two friends who were killed when his car crashed on the Cross County
Parkway in 2006.

Jose Luis Vargas, 20, of 71 Soundview Street in Port Chester was arrested by detectives from the Westchester County Department of Public Safety after a one year and nine month investigation. Vargas was charged with two counts of Criminally Negligent Homicide, a felony, one count of Third-Degree Assault, a misdemeanor, and several Vehicle and Traffic Violations.

On July 28, 2006, Vargas was operating a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer on the eastbound Cross County Parkway
when he lost control of the car and crashed near New Rochelle Road in the Town of Eastchester. Four friends
were in the car at the time and two of them – Kemroy Isaacs, 17, and Kevin Rodriguez, 18 – were killed.

Vargas and two other friends – Lee Dragani, and Ricardo Chamba, who were 16 and 17 years old,
respectively, at the time were injured in the motor vehicle accident. The investigation and accident reconstruction were conducted by detectives from the Department of Public Safety along with the Westchester County Forensic Laboratory. Vargas was booked at county police headquarters in Hawthorne this morning and transported to Westchester County Court in White Plains for arraignment.
