A man who was mistakenly deported from Florida to Honduras last year following accusations of causing a fatal car crash while under the influence has been apprehended abroad. Authorities allege he crashed into a gas station sign at over 125 mph in a 40 mph zone, resulting in the deaths of three passengers.

According to sources involved in the probe, Erwin Zuniga, who was 26 during the 2022 incident, has been detained in Spain. U.S. federal authorities are working on bringing him back to Miami-Dade County, where he faces numerous charges. The charges relate to the deaths of 19-year-old Paola Sabillon, her boyfriend Jason Meza, and his cousin Giselle Reyes—passengers in Zuniga’s car when he was deported by the Biden administration, as per police reports.

Zuniga reportedly had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.123 and traces of THC in his system at the accident’s time. Authorities say he lost control and crashed into a gas station sign located on West Flagler Street in Miami.

Eyewitnesses claim that Zuniga was seen consuming around five or six shots of whiskey before he drove the group towards a local club that night. A fourth passenger involved in the crash suffered severe injuries but survived.

The arrest of Zuniga comes nearly a year after he was inadvertently deported to Honduras, his home country, due to an alleged processing mistake by the Miami-Dade jail as reported by NBC affiliate WTVJ.

While Zuniga was unlawfully present in the U.S., he was supposed to remain in Miami on house arrest to face his charges, which include three counts of DUI manslaughter and three counts of reckless vehicular homicide, per WTVJ.

The Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department reportedly took responsibility for Zuniga’s deportation and told local media outlets that a number of officers would be disciplined. But the details about what happened exactly were not made public, according to WTVJ. The families of Zuniga’s alleged victims reportedly voiced their disgust with his deportation after it occurred on Sept. 6.

“Very mad,” said Miriam Castillo, Sabillon’s sister, in an interview with local Fox and ABC affiliate WSVN. “If we have to walk outside the courthouse, and if we have to make noise, we will make noise, because he has to come back,” Castillo said. “He has to come back, and he has to pay for what he did.”

Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Laura Shearon Cruz reportedly told the families in court that she was also disappointed by what happened, saying: “We only found out when we had no idea where the defendant was, before we started the case for trial.”

Cruz added, “These are definitely heinous crimes.”
