Families of Triple Fatal Crash Victims Demand Justice After Alleged Drunk Driver’s Deportation I’m

MIAMI, Fla. — Two months after Erwin Rommel Recinos Zuniga, the man accused of causing a devastating triple-fatal crash, was deported to Honduras, the families of the victims are still searching for answers and justice.

Miami-Dade state attorneys revealed on Tuesday that they are working with federal authorities to bring Zuniga, 28, back to the United States to face trial. Zuniga was charged with 10 counts, including three counts of DUI manslaughter and three counts of reckless vehicular homicide, following a tragic 2021 crash that killed Paola Sabillon, her boyfriend Jason Meza, and his cousin Giselle Reyes.

Police say Zuniga was driving at 126 mph and tested positive for THC when he crashed into a gasoline station sign in Miami. Initially arrested and charged, Zuniga was controversially placed on house arrest while awaiting trial—a decision strongly opposed by the victims’ families.

In a shocking turn of events, Zuniga was deported to Honduras on September 6, a move that has left the victims’ families devastated and without closure. Miami-Dade corrections officials have yet to provide an explanation for the deportation, including why the court was not notified beforehand.

“They say they are still investigating. That’s literally all. That’s all they say. They have not given us an ounce of hope,” said Miriam Castillo, Sabillon’s sister.

For the grieving families, the deportation feels like a betrayal of justice. After two years of mourning and anticipating a trial, they now face the possibility that Zuniga may never be held accountable for his actions.

State attorneys remain committed to seeking Zuniga’s return,
