Adrian Oswaldo Sura Reyes: Who is he? At a fundraiser in Pennsylvania, the driver admits to causing a fatal collision
Adrian Oswaldo Sura Reyes admitted to committing both crimes on Sunday, August 14, 2022. He had two counts of open murder in Pennsylvania for deliberately driving into a crowd of about 75 people and then fatally assaulting his mother. When questioned by officers Jason Zoshak and Andrew Morgantini at Shickshinny State Police Jail, where he was being held, the 24-year-old man reportedly confessed.
It’s Deb Plorable.

Adrian Reyes here.
The POS who rammed into a crowd at a fundraiser and, as if that wasn’t bad enough, also bludgeoned his own mother to death with a hammer, is now apologizing.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
FFS.😐

Reyes killed one person and injured 17 others when he plowed his car through a crowd gathered in Berwick for a charity event. He then returned home and brutally killed his mother.
Why did Reyes choose to commit both offenses?
Police later confirmed Reyes’ claim that the collision with Berwick was premeditated. He even provided a detailed account of the fatal assault on his mother, Rosa D. Reyes, according to the Luzerne County Coroner. Reyes replied positively when asked if he was aware of the clash outside Berwick’s Toxicology Unit.
“Yes, I did that”
The Pennsylvania man added that he had argued with his mother about money and other issues before the disaster. He had been troubled leaving the house, and upon seeing the group of people outside the Pennsylvania bar, he accelerated and hit them. The report of the complaint quotes him as saying:
“No, I didn’t ram her. I just kicked them.”
He saw Rosa D. Reyes, 56, on the street outside her Nescdeck home and accelerated to hit her because he was tired of arguing with his mother. Reyes is also said to have attacked his mother with a hammer four or five times.

‘Frustrated’ Adrian Oswaldo Sura Reyes reportedly admitted mowing down mourners in Nescopeck before killing his mother. There was no additional information in the criminal complaint regarding Reyes’ possible involvement in the deadly August 5 home fire that killed ten people. He is currently being held without bond.
As a result of a disagreement, a young man in Pennsylvania killed two people, including his mother, and injured 17 others, leaving villages in shock.
The village of Nescdeck was horrified on August 5, 2022 when a fire tragically killed ten family members. To help overcome the disaster, the neighborhood organized a charity event in support of firefighter David Baker’s late family. Though intended as a day of healing, Adrian Reyes’ rampage through the crowd resulted in the death of a Wilkes-Barre resident and several injuries to others. The same person then killed his own mother when he returned home.

Disturbing details: Adrian Sura Reyes reportedly told police he and his mother had a fight before getting in his car and traveling to Berwick. He claims that by this point he was “pretty frustrated” and tired of arguing with his mother about money. (cont.)

Anthony Petroski, a state police officer, told reporters:
“In an area that has already experienced tragedy, this is a total disaster. We will perform our duties to the best of our ability to conduct a thorough investigation for the benefit of the community and families. You already feel pain.”
As the neighborhood deals with two more horrific deaths, the Pennsylvania pub where the fundraiser was held, The Intoxicology Department, has been shut down.
