BROOKLYN, (July 12, 2025) — A hit-and-run BMW driver who killed two men crossing a street, including an 80-year-old Chinese immigrant, had downed a couple beers the night of the crash and hit the victims so hard their blood and “body matter” were strewn over the car’s mangled front end, prosecutors said Saturday.

BMW driver Juventino Anastacio Florentino, 23, left several parts of his car behind following the 4:22 a.m. Friday crash in Sunset Park. Those parts, as well as license plate readers in the area, helped cops track Florentino to his Staten Island home.

He said nothing at court as Brooklyn Criminal Court Judge Elizabeth Warin ordered him held on $100,000 bail. The Staten Island resident is facing manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, among other charges. It’s his first arrest.

During questioning, he admitted to buying a six-pack of Modelos — a Mexican beer — on the night of the crash. “I had a six pack of Modelos and two drinks,” he admitted, prosecutors said. “I was driving the car by myself last night. It’s my fault. After I hit them, I came home.”

The victims, 59-year-old Faqiu Lin and 80-year-old Kex Un Chen, were crossing the southbound side of Third Ave. at 52nd St. under the elevated Gowanus Expressway when Florentino’s BMW plowed into them.

The two men were both knocked high into the air and landed feet away from each other, surveillance video shows.
