Sunnyvale man has been charged with 3 counts of murder after killing 3 people in a car crash in Daly City on the evening of March 9.

Denis Pereria Demacedo, a 28-year-old Sunnyvale resident, was allegedly speeding down Eastmoor Avenue when he crashed into the car of Amado Osorio, a former Skyline student.

Also in the car was his mother, Josefa Osorio, his younger brother, Josue Osorio, and his girlfriend. Amado, Josefa, and Josue died in the crash while Amado’s girlfriend is currently in critical condition.

Prior to the accident with the Osorio family, Demacedo had been drinking before he drove off and his blood alcohol level was reported by police as double the legal limit two hours after the crash. He rear-ended another different car on Eastmoor and sped around the vehicle in order to get away.

No one was harmed in this first mishap. As Demacedo fled the scene of the crime, he collided with the Osorio’s car as they were pulling out of a parking spot.

Demacedo was not injured in the crash and is currently being held in the San Mateo County Jail under the charges of murder, attempted murder and hit and run, according to Jesus Julian Rocha-Sliva, a Skyline student and close friend.

“I could consider him like my brother and my family definitely considered him like a son,” said Jackeline Monrroy, a Skyline student and close friend of Amado Osorio. Monrroy talked about his personality and how she had just seen him a few hours before the accident.

She also shares how she has “always been against drinking and driving” and that she knew many others who have been affected by it.

A donation fund has been set up to collect money for the family to help pay for the three funerals. A Facebook page has also been made in support of the family. Amado Osorio also had attended Westmoor High School while his brother, Josue Osorio currently attended it, and in their honor the school is hosting a memorial.

The family was unavailable for comment.

“I can’t believe it happened,” said David Monrroy, friend of Amado Osorio. “I’m really sad that my best friend isn’t here with me anymore. We have to do as much as humanly possible to not let our friends drive while drunk and I hope people can help this family in such financial need.”
