Allmir Lekperic, 26, Driving on Suspended License Turns Himself in After Hit-and-Run Accident Claims Lives of Staten Island Elderly Couple

Allmir Lekperic, 26, is a cowardly man in every sense of the word. He killed an elderly couple, Peter Sabados, 78, and his wife, Lillian, 77, Wednesday night, as they were on their way to church to donate canned goods for the needy. What ensued in the aftermath of this horrible accident was what Lekperic did. He tried to cover his tracks in the hit-and-run accident that cost the couple their lives. After ditching the white Ford Econoline van about a mile and one half away from the deadly scene, he reportedly enlisted his sister's help to say that the vehicle was stolen, deliberately misdirecting the investigators. 

According to media reports, Lekperic was behind the wheel when the elderly couple attempted to cross New Dorp Lane in Staten Island, NY, on their way to evening mass at Our Lady of Peace Church.

Horrified church members looked on as the driver sped off. A priest sprinted outside and administered last rites. Mr. Sabados was pronounced dead on arrival at Staten Island University Hospital, while his wife died early this morning. To add insult to injury, Mr. Lekperic's driver's license had been suspended at least 29 times since 2006, according to an article in the NY Times. The same law enforcement official also said, Mr. Lekperic had also been stopped at least four times for not wearing his seatbelt, as well as for talking on his cellphone while driving, following another car too closely and driving without a license.

Lekperic, who turned himself in and was charged with leaving the scene of an accident with fatalities and driving with a suspended license. What a dirtbag. He was brave enough to drive on a suspended license but too coward to face the music for his actions. His sister should have been charged with making false statements to law enforcement. She knew exactly what she was doing when she agreed to lie for her cowardly brother.

UPDATE#1:  The suspect was released on $50,000 bail yesterday. Lekperic fled for more than five hours and allegedly persuaded his sister, Mirsada Nikezi, to tell cops the van had been stolen. Nikezi, 30, was arrested last night and charged with filing a false report, police said.
