The man accused of striking and killing a beloved vice principal during a street race last fall was indicted Friday.

Freddy S. Garcia Jr., 22, of Piscataway, has been indicted on counts of aggravated manslaughter, vehicular homicide, leaving the scene of a fatal accident, causing a death while driving with a suspended license, three counts of hindering apprehension and making false reports to law enforcement.

Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew Carey says Garcia was behind the wheel of a vehicle during a street race in Piscataway the night of Oct. 6, 2018.

That night, on Stelton Road, Garcia lost control of a 2003 Honda Accord, striking and killing Tyrone Harrison, 49.

Harrison, the former vice principal of New Brunswick High School, had just transferred to McKinley Community School, a preK-8 school in the school district.

Harrison, a former Ohio State fullback, was walking to a relative’s house in Piscataway after getting off at the Edison train station about a mile from the town border.

After the collision, Garcia fled the scene and ditched his car, authorities allege. Later, he reported the unregistered, uninsured vehicle as stolen, trying to deceive investigators. He also received a motor vehicle summons for fictitious license plates on the Accord.

Another man was arrested in the case after investigators learned he altered social media posts to make it harder to learn who was driving the car that hit Harrison.

The case remains under investigation, and police ask anyone with further information about the incident to call Officer Meredith Robbins at 732-562-7652 or Detective Jonathan Berman at 732-745-4328.
