Saul Rivera-Ramirez / Allegheny County JailSaul Rivera-Ramirez, a 25-year-old illegal alien, has been charged with vehicular homicide and driving without a license, among other charges.
On the evening of Sept. 21, police say Sluka was stopped at a red light on his motorcycle when he struck by a Ford Taurus allegedly driven by Rivera-Ramirez.

First responders found Sluka in critical condition and he passed away at a local hospital, according to police.
Police allege Rivera-Ramirez got out of his vehicle and ran from the scene of the crash.
Rivera-Ramirez was later identified by Allegheny County police and arrested. Police confirmed that Rivera-Ramirez is an illegal alien, and detectives said they have notified Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Allegheny is a sanctuary county and is not expected to honor any ICE detainer.
“During their investigation, detectives learned Rivera-Ramirez is not a United States Citizen and is an undocumented immigrant,” police told WPXI News. “Detectives contacted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and we would defer any further questions about Rivera-Ramirez’s immigration status to that agency.”
A social media post honoring Sluka noted he was a bass player for the band Osprey.
“Today, I am devastated by the loss of the brilliant local talent, Christian Sluka. As good a bass player as he was he was an even better son, brother, cousin, nephew, and friend,” the post read. “He was a CORE member of the Gold Mountain Music community and present at almost every event. If he wasn’t on stage with his band Osprey, he was in the crowd with his family ALWAYS smiling and looking after his little brothers. I will always be grateful that Christian performed with us, laughed with us, supported us, and was an overwhelming example of generosity to everyone he encountered.”
