Speed boat owner who 'hit and killed' ballerina Ella Adler, 15, is identified as new details of horror crash emerge

The pilot of the boat which hit and killed 15-year-old Miami ballerina Ella Riley Adler has been identified.    

Carlos Guillermo Alonso, 78, was the only person on his boat at the time of the tragic crash, according to an incident report from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

The boat was taken by FWC agents Tuesday after it was discovered outside Alonso's $4 million home in Coral Gables, Miami Herald reported. 

Alonso is understood to be cooperating with law enforcement. 

The report revealed that Adler, 15, had been on a 42-foot long boat. She was on it with 13 other people, including her teenage friends celebrating a friend's birthday, NBC Miami reported.

Before the terrifying collision, Adler and another girl were being towed with one riding a wakeboard and the other on a wake surfboard. 

The girls then fell off the boards at different times and locations, though both were in the water simultaneously.

That's when Alonso, heading west, 'struck the female wake boarder who was in the water,' with his Boston Whaler boat, per the report. Adler later died from her injuries.

The FWC added that Alonso's boat is a center console boat with a light blue hull, which matches the initial eyewitness reports gathered by authorities.

Witnesses also said that after the light blue vessel sped off, there was 'a lot of blood in the water.'

According to a maritime attorney who spoke to NBC6 Miami, there's no chance that the person who hit Adler was unaware of the impact.

'I find that extremely hard to believe because hitting a person is a large object, you would definitely feel that especially if you are going at any type of a rate of speed,' Michael Winkleman said.

The report doesn't say whether Alonso, the suspect in Adler's death, will face charges, according to NBC Miami. It's also unclear if alcohol was a factor in the crash because the report marks it down as 'unknown.'

Adler, described as having a dazzling presence by loved ones, was laid to rest Monday morning at at Temple Beth Sholom in Miami Beach.

She was a high achieving student, a member of the her school's Jewish Student Association and had a 'big posse of friends,' according to her obituary.

Matthew Adler, Adler's father, shared his heartbreaking message to his daughter at her funeral. 

'You were taken from us way to soon, and the world has been robbed of all the things you could have achieved. But you will always be here with us and your friends and family will carry your energy and spirit forever,' he wrote in a letter read by Rabbi Jonathan Berkun

She was also a talented ballerina, appearing in over 100 performances of the Nutcracker with the Miami City Ballet.

After the boat that struck Adler was found by police, her family released a new statement Tuesday thanking authorities for their hard work on the case.

'The world lost a star this weekend. Ella was beautiful and shined brightly. In her 15 years, she gave us more light than we could have ever dreamed,' the family said. 

'While we cope with this unspeakable tragedy, we ask the public to give us our privacy as we mourn.'

Ella is survived by her parents, Amanda and Matthew along with her siblings Jaden and Adalynn. She was also the great-granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor, and the granddaughter of Michael Adler, the US Ambassador to Belgium.

The family confirmed that First Lady Jill Biden visited with the Adler family following the funeral in the Jewish tradition of mourning known as Shiva, which lasts over a period of seven days.

'We are honored that the First Lady paid a Shiva call to our family during this time of immense pain. We are touched by their support and love and we are proud to call the President and First Lady our friends for over 40 years,' statement from the family said.
