EXCLUSIVE: Victim’s mother releases footage of fatal encounter between son and Wake Forest basketball coach


That's really bad ----- it appears the drunk guy doesn't even touch the guys vehicle as he drives by --- then the puncher immediately stops and backs into a spot to confront the drunk guy. Why because he was yelling? For what purpose ? Teaching strangers a lesson a 330 in the morning?


A few years ago I was headed out fishing at 430 in the morning -- late summer so it was still dark -- while stopped at a red 2 drunks came up and hit my car doors while asking for a lift someplace --- I just ran the red light slowly and proceeded to the fishing spot.The only sensible reaction really.


Strange how initial reports/coverage had the victim described as super aggressive and out of control.

He might have been hitting other cars and I guess it's possible he hit the window of that one as well (although you can't see that in the video). But even so, the Wake Forest coach's reaction was so out of proportion. I don't understand why he wasn't at least charged with manslaughter. All he got was misdemeanor assault and went back to coaching.

I did. Violence is never the answer but it makes me wonder what occurred before the video. There has to be more to the story to set him off like that.

A lot of people secretly wish they could kill someone ans get away with it, that's why they take the coach's side.

Yeah, that was the confusing part. All the reports said he was drunk and hitting cars and that's not shown in this video (probably because it's the dead guy's mother choosing which videos to show).

I suppose if a drunk guy came up and slammed my car, I'd be pissed off too. However, getting so overly pissed off about a stupid drunk guy touching his car is really over the top. If the drunk had hit the car with a hammer or other tool, then yeah, I can see someone getting out to confront him. But there were no reports that the victim had anything in his hands while he was hitting cars. I doubt he caused any physical damage to any car.

LOL..you really believe that guy was a threat?

(even if he was banging on cars, WHICH I SERIOUSLY doubt).

He was probably yelling and said something stoopid to the coach. TOUGH GUY COACH, not one to take lip from some white guy 75lbs less than him.

MYSTERY is 'Why NY is not upping the charge to MANSLAUGHTER or 2nd Degree Murder???

What's wrong with the DA in NY ????

Typical mom....My son was such a good boy, he never did anything wrong
Time to take ownership on your sons behavior. He didn't deserve to die and I don't think that was the intention but did he deserve to be punched...ummm yes.

Lets see...i'll bet you've done stoopid things in the past.


Why don't you let me sucker punch you 1 night when you're Drunk?

No...he was an Angel visiting from N.Carolina. He was there to do Charity work with Church and happened to find himself on the street in NYC, cruising the strip at 3.30am after late night of carousing and drinking with other coaches .



(whoops, that wasnt supposed to come out)!
