The crash took the life of 17-year-old Allison Kunhardt of First Colonial High School and 16-year-old Tessa Tranchant of Kellam High School.

Ramos is in the Virginia Beach jail without bond and charged with two counts aggravated mansalughter as a result of driving under the influence. Alfredo Ramos told a judge this morning he is in this country illegally.

Dylan Tranchant, the brother of Tessa Tranchant, says he was planning to spend more time with his family since coming home from the military and never thought he would be saying goodbye to his sister so soon.
