Milwaukee - On Friday, Isidro Lorenzo-Severiano, 24, pleaded not guilty to multiple charges, which includes two felony counts of hit-and-run resulting in death and two misdemeanor counts of operating without valid license and causing death to another person in the April 24, vehicle crash at the 1200 block of W. Rogers St. Severiano's defense attorney Rick Steinberg tried to enter a motion to dismiss the case, but the court found probable cause and bound defendant over for trial.
The criminal complaint states, Severiano ran a stop sign shortly after 2:00 a.m. and crashed into a white Toyota Corolla killing Ernesto Montejo-Cortes, 26, aka, Andres Santiago Ramirez, and his passenger, Raynel Villareal-Lucas, 35, in April.
His girlfriend told police, that Severiano had gotten into a dispute with some other individuals at a local bar and had left mad. She tried to stop Severiano from driving, but he had left in a hurry and was speeding when the crash happened. After the crash, he called his girlfriend and confessed that he was driving and was involved in a crash on S. 12th St. and believed several people might have died. Severiano was getting ready to flee the country, when he got arrested, according to investigators.
Severiano is alleged to have been intoxicated and driving without a driver's license when the deadly crash occured.
He is also undocumented and is originally from Mexico and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has not comment on Severiano's legal status.
Severiano remains at the Milwaukee County jail unable to post $200,000 bail. He is expected back in court on May 16.
