BOCA RATON, Fla. —
On Thursday, troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol arrested a fugitive who was wanted on vehicular homicide charges in a 2024 vehicle crash that killed three people.
In a news release, FHP says that Jean S. Dorisca, 48, was wanted in Osceola County. It adds that Dorisca is a Haitian national who is a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. He was arrested by FHP’s Criminal Alien Apprehension Team.
Back in 2024, FHP says that Dorisca was driving on SR-60 near the Polk-Osceola County line when he tried to pass a semi-truck in a designated no-passing zone. A collision occurred, and three people died, including Dorisca’s mother, according to the release.
Troopers say that Dorisca evaded arrest, and that through investigative efforts he was located at a residence in Boca Raton. He was arrested and transported to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office pending extradition to Osceola County.
Dorisca faces up to 45 years in state prison and a revocation of his legal status as a permanent resident of the U.S.
