AURORA, Colo. -- Two street racing suspects who were arguing in the street while the man they crashed into lay dying in his car were both charged Wednesday in the man's death.

When police arrived at the crash scene about 10 p.m. Tuesday the two suspects were fighting, completely ignoring the 65-year-old man who lay bleeding and unconscious.

"The officer separated the two drivers while fire rescue responded," Aurora police Lt. Chuck DeShazer said.

Benny Sitinjak, 34, and Jose Hernandez-Castellanos, 28, were taken into custody for investigation of vehicular homicide. Their bonds were set at $50,000. Aurora police said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed a hold on both men, but ICE confirmed Thursday that the hold has been lifted. Usually ICE will detain suspects until their immigration status can be sorted out and confirmed.

The Araphoe County Coroner's Office has identified the victim as 62-year-old Walter Anthony Oleksinski of Aurora.

The cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head and body.

Police say he was blocks away from his home at the time of the accident.

Witnesses told Aurora police that a red Jeep Cherokee and a black Pontiac G8 appeared to have been racing before the collision at South Peoria Street and East Yale Avenue.

When both vehicles reached Yale, Sitinja's Jeep crashed into a Chevrolet Camaro that was turning left from the other direction. The Camaro was thrown into a light pole that penetrated the passenger compartment. The driver was pinned in his car and died from his injuries.

Patrick Kelley lives within walking distance of the intersection and observed the aftermath about 30 minutes after the crash. He described the scene as "ugly."

"The car that was hit was not just hit, it was creamed so bad that the racing car was fully embedded into the hit car," he said. "The front end of the Camaro was gone, the passenger side of the Camaro was gone, the Jeep was embedded into the Camaro fully to the extent that the Jeep's bumper was on the rear seat of the Camaro. There was no glass left in the Camaro. No front end. No front seat visible in the Camaro because it was covered by the Jeep."

Sitinja was taken to a hospital with minor injuries. Hernandez-Castellanos, who was driving the Pontiac G8, was not injured.

Police said the suspects apparently didn't know each other.

"Alcohol does not appear to factor in this accident, but speed is considered a contributing factor," DeShazer said.

They were traveling at speeds of more than 75 mph, DeShazer said.

Sitinjak has no criminal history but Hernandez-Castellanos has a history of failing to appear in court, according to state court records.

ICE holds are sometimes a sign that federal authorities believe a suspect is in the country illegally but DeShazer said the holds could be a precaution by federal authorities. Both men had valid driver's licenses, DeShazer said.

Ben Pena lives and works out in the area where the crash occurred and says he sees illegal street racing all the time.

"They're doing about 80 mph, 90 mph," said Pena.
