The illegal alien accused of drunkenly running down and dragging to death a Milford man two months ago has been indicted for second degree murder, the Worcester District Attorney said today.

Ecuador-native Nicholas D. Guaman, 34, of Milford was arrested on Aug. 20 after he allegedly smashed his truck into a motorcycle driven by Matthew J. Denice, 23, of Milford. Guaman allegedly dragged Denice for a quarter mile, ignore the frantic witnesses banging on the driver’s door in an attempt to stop him.

Guaman is facing charges of second degree murder, manslaughter while driving a motor vehicle, motor vehicle homicide, wanton or reckless behavior causing risk of serious bodily injury to a child, leaving the scene after a collision causing death and failing to stop for police and operating without a license.

A material witness to the crime, Luis Acosta, who was in the United States illegally, disappeared after cutting off a monitoring bracelet on Oct. 1. Immigration and Customs Enforcement shirked blame, saying they were not responsible for keeping tabs on witnesses in local cases.

Guaman will be arraigned in Worcester Surperior Court on Nov. 1. He is currently being held on $100,000 on earlier charges of motor vehicle homicide while drunk and driving without a license.
