Two suspects have been arrested on DUI manslaughter and other charges in separate crashes in Miami-Dade that left two people dead, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Kareem Omar Johnson, 34, and Allen Matis, 67, were arrested Wednesday on charges of DUI manslaughter, failure to render aid and vehicular homicide in a reckless manner, Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office officials said.<\/p>\n
Johnson’s charges stem from a crash that happened the night of May 9 at the intersection of Northwest 22nd Avenue and Southwest 50th Street.<\/p>\n
Deputies responded and found crashed vehicles and an unresponsive man who was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.<\/p>\n
Traffic homicide detectives later determined Johnson had failed to stop at a red light and struck the victim’s vehicle.<\/p>\n
At the time, Johnson was under the influence of alcohol and marijuana, officials said.<\/p>\n
Matis is charged in a crash that happened back on June 24 near the intersection of Southwest 57th Avenue and Southwest 29th Street.<\/p>\n
Authorities said Matis had crashed into the wall of a residence, and a man who was found unresponsive inside was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
According to an arrest report, the victim, 82-year-old Henri Bezy, was sleeping inside the home when he became trapped underneath Matis’ Cadillac Lyriq.<\/p>\n
Matis, who showed signs of impairment, had failed to stop at a stop sign and was speeding when he crashed, authorities said.<\/p>\n
His blood alcohol level was determined to be above the legal limit, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Both men were booked into jail, and were expected to appear in bond court.
