BRONX - A Pennsylvania woman has been indicted on murder and manslaughter charges for “intentionally” running down a moped driver, the Bronx District Attorney’s Office announced.
Lillibeth Vasquez, 28, of Allentown, PA, was arraigned on second degree murder and first-degree manslsaughter charges. Prosecutors charge that Vaaquez purposely ran over Robert Jiminez during a road rage incident.

A police source told the Bronx Voice at the time, “A preliminary investigation determined that a 28-year-old female operating a Honda Civic was traveling southbound on Fox Street when it struck a 23-year-old male operating a moped traveling in the same direction.”
According to an investigation Vasquez chased after Jiminez when the man was driving his moped close to the defendant’s red Honda Civic. Prosecutors said Vasquez chased after the victim through two red lights and speeding the wrong way down a one-way street.
Prosecutors said Vasquez crashed into the back of Jiminez’ moped. The collision sent the victim through the air and crashing into a brick building on Intervale Avenue and Fox Street. Investigators said the impact killed Jiminez.
Vasquez’ car also crashed into the building. Photos of the mangled up car appeared in an issue of the Bronx Voice.
“This driver’s wanton disregard for other people on the streets of the Bronx allegedly led to one death and could have had further catastrophic consequences,” said Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark.
