A drunk off-duty Jersey City cop has been revealed to be the driver of an early Saturday morning hit and run near Battery Park City that killed one woman and left her boyfriend in critical but stable condition. 25-year-old Martin Abreu, a fourth year officer, was charged with vehicular manslaughter and assault and driving while intoxicated. He has also been suspended without pay. 26-year-olds Marilyn Feng and Dennis Loffredo were struck at around 3:40 a.m. on their way home from a night of dancing. They had been taking tango lessons weekly and parents of Loffredo thought that the two would get married. Loffredo's mother donates to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. She told the News, "I think next year I'm going to donate even more."

Drunk drivers who kill people should be tried for murder and sentenced accordingly --- including cops.
Agreed. This is reminiscent of another JC cop drunk driving murder.
Another example of the all too common attitude among cops that the law applies to everybody except them.
I can't believe the crap on the DN comment section.
they're blaming the victims, saying they may be drunk.
unlikely if they were ballroom dancing.
why can't this JC cop stay in JC?
Cop or no cop, he killed that girl for no reason other than he was piss-drunk and an idiot to boot. Throw the book at him, no, throw the whole 22 volume set at him.
Pathetic.
