Palvinder S. Randhawa, a 23-year-old Herndon man, killed two people on Tuesday, March 12, in Sterling, VA. Randhawa was driving drunk when he ran a red light and slammed in to a 1995 Honda killing Geraldine Daysi Alconini Mendoza, 23, of Arlington, and Danyal Mahmood, 20, of Herndon.

Randhawa is charged with two counts of aggravated manslaughter, driving while intoxicated, and driving under a revoked license.

Randhawa has had two DUI convictions in Fairfax County since December. His first DUI occured back on Aug 25. He was found guilty and the judge gave him a 30 day suspended sentence, a $200 fine, and revoked his license for one year, beginning Dec 10. Then on Dec 28, he was found drunk in his car outside his home and charged with another DUI. He was convicted of that offense on Feb 20. He was given a suspended 180 day jail sentence, fined $300 and had his license suspended for another 12 months.

Court documents show that at the fatal crash, Randhawa smelled of alcohol and had one empty and one full beer bottle in his car.
