Jonathan Armand Flores-Maldonado

How they died

Pursuit

At 4 a.m., a police officer saw Jordan Randolph's 2014 Cadillac facing the wrong way on the parkway. As the officer drove toward the other, Randolph, 40, drove in reverse before crossing into the southbound lane, police said. Randolph, allegedly swerving in and out of traffic, made a U-turn over the roadway's median, fleeing northbound at a high rate of speed and crashing into the rear of Jonathan Flores-Maldonado's 2015 Ford Escape. A black box recovered from Randolph's car indicated he was driving 130 mph at the time of the crash. Flores-Maldonado was killed. Randolph allegedly had a blood alcohol content of 0.23%. The New York legal limit is 0.08%.
