An illegal immigrant<\/a>, allegedly so intoxicated he could not stand, is accused of driving off a roadway and killing two children riding bikes on a sidewalk, officials said.<\/p>\n

Eri Otoniel Roblero-Perez was denied bond Monday on two counts of felony DUI resulting in death. He also faces charges of driving without a license and open container. He is currently being held at the Spartanburg County Detention Facility.<\/p>\n

The crash happened around 12:20 p.m. Sunday along Asheville Highway at Brock Street, about three miles west of Spartanburg.<\/p>\n

According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol<\/a>, Roblero-Perez was driving a 2016 Honda Accord eastbound when the vehicle veered off the road and struck two boys who were riding bicycles on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

The victims were identified as 12-year-old Dereon James Robins and 9-year-old Mikhail-Lee Smith, both of Spartanburg.<\/p>\n

Both boys later died from their injuries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Details from Monday\u2019s bond hearing, first reported by WYFF News 4,<\/a> described the emotional testimony and the defendant\u2019s condition at the scene.<\/p>\n

Dereon\u2019s mother, Megan, said she was walking behind the children when the car veered toward them.<\/p>\n

“I watched him almost hit me, and I then ran to my son while he bled to death,” she said.<\/p>\n

Family members pleaded with the judge<\/a> to keep Roblero-Perez behind bars.<\/p>\n

“Now I have to bury my own brother\u2026 on his own birthday,” one of Dereon\u2019s brothers said.<\/p>\n

GOT A TIP?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Prosecutors said Roblero-Perez showed clear signs of intoxication \u2014 including slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and a strong odor of alcohol \u2014 and was unable to complete a field sobriety test or hold himself upright.<\/p>\n

Authorities say the vehicle left the roadway at a high rate of speed before striking the children.<\/p>\n

Another passenger was inside the car but fled the scene and has not been located.<\/p>\n

The Spartanburg County Sheriff\u2019s Office confirmed Roblero-Perez is in the United States illegally. A judge also noted in court that an immigration detainer<\/a> has been placed on him.<\/p>\n

The case has sparked outrage online and in the community, with many questioning the circumstances of the crash and calling for accountability.<\/p>\n

“Our hearts are heavy as we lift up the families of the two young boys whose lives were tragically taken in South Carolina,” Sen. Tim Scott said in a statement. “We are praying for God\u2019s comfort to surround them, and for justice to be swiftly and fully served.”<\/p>\n

Family and friends<\/a> said Dereon, who was just days away from his 13th birthday, “brought joy to all those around him,” according to a GoFundMe message.<\/p>\n

Family members are urging others to think twice before drinking and driving.<\/p>\n

“If you decide to drink, stay at home. It is not a driving activity. It\u2019s not fun. It\u2019s not cool,” a family member said.<\/p>\n

Roblero-Perez is scheduled to appear in court<\/a> again on June 18. The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to the coroner\u2019s office, South Carolina Highway Patrol, and the solicitor\u2019s office for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
