Chilling new details have been revealed in the hit and run deaths of two 17-year-old girls in Cranford who were riding e-bikes early Monday evening.

A suspect has been arrested and charged with the murder of Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas.

Court records allege that 17-year-old Vincent Bataloro was driving 70 miles an hour when he struck the two girls on their bikes.

Now, family of Niotis says that Bataloro had been stalking her for months and that they'd reported his behavior to local police with no response.

In a statement to Fox 5, they said that this was "murder in the first degree" that he'd been plotting the attack for months, taking not only her life, but also Isabella's.

Isabella Salas' family said she didn't know Bataloro.

He is a relative of Westfield Police Chief Chris Bataloro, who issued a statement condemning the alleged actions of what he called his distant relative.

Meanwhile, Vincent Bataloro took to social media the day after the crash in a 20-minute live stream talking about the crash without acknowledging his role in it, claiming there's been a lot of misinformation shared and saying that he's been bullied.

The mother of Maria Niotis did speak to the press after Maria's wake, sharing some memories of her daughter.

She loved deeply.

She gave generously.

She dreamed boldly.

And to Maria, my sweet girl, I will miss you every single day for the rest of my life.

I will picture your smile, hear your laugh in my heart, and carry your dreams in my hands.
