This story makes no sense. The man was punched because he was "mistaken for an Uber driver after attending his stepsister's wedding".
Someone please explain this to me.

Left the safety of his vehicle
Viscouly sucker punched a man for nothing
Watch him fall
Got back in his car and left
Turned himself in 4 days later
A hate crime and manslaughter minimum

Florida media reported this when the man (from Florida) died, but when it became known who the suspect was, interest was dropped.
Things that make you say “Hmmm”.
To: Morgana
The victim was knocking on car windows trying to find his Uber pick-up that was to drive him to his location. The individual arrested for his death got out of his vehicle after the victim knocked on the window and punched the victim in the head. The fact the victim was drunk was mentioned only after the guy had hit him. Drunk or not, I think the fellow arrested overreacted; pushing him away from the vehicle would have resolved the issue.

One man (Jones) was drunk after attending a wedding and was looking for an uber driver to take him home. He punched man #2 (Szabo) when (I’m guessing) he thought that man#2 was refusing to pick him up because he was black (not to mention, drunk).
I could be wrong.

I heard he walked from car to car, drunk, pounding on windows. This could be misinterpreted especially in NYC. Not defending the puncher. Just saying there may be circumstances

The guy could have stayed in his car and not responded. There, issue settled. Both men free to walk the streets and enjoy life. But NO!

Why would you even push him?
Why not stay in your car?

“I could be wrong”
You are right about that!
To: trisham
I could be wrong.Pretty much.
Szabo was the drunk man, stumbling around banging on car windows. Banging on the window of (the presumably sober) Jones' SUV got him punched in the face where he fell, hit his head, and later died.
Sometimes bad things happen when you are drunk and obnoxious.

I could be wrong. You are. Szabo (who is white) was the one who attended the wedding and was intoxicated. How badly we don't know. Could have been anything from slightly tipsy to stumbling drunk. Really does not matter.
Szabo knocked on the car window thinking that it was his Uber ride.
Jones (who is black) then gets out of his car and punches him.

It was a senseless, impulsive, uncontrollable crime straight out of the jungle, the genesis hidden deep in the mists of time, on another continent far, far away, passed from father to son until this very day.

Yep. But some people are filled with such rage that they’ll take any opportunity to release it. The Wake Forest coach is evidently one of them.
