An Uber driver begged for her life and pleaded that she had four children before a Penn Hills man fatally shot her, according to a transcript of dashcam video.
Allegheny County police on Wednesday night charged Calvin Crew, 22, with killing of 38-year-old Christi Spicuzza, who was found dead in Monroeville this weekend.
Mr. Crew is charged with criminal homicide, robbery and tampering with evidence.
In a criminal complaint, police described how Mr. Crew allegedly used his girlfriend's phone to order an Uber and held a gun to Ms. Spicuzza’s head as she begged him to reconsider.
On a video retrieved from Ms. Spicuzza’s dashcam, investigators found a video of her arriving to pick up Mr. Crew on Feb. 11. He entered the vehicle and produced a handgun, pointing it at the back of her head, the complaint says.
He told her to keep driving. When she reached back and felt the gun, she responded, “You’ve got to be joking,” the complaint reads.
Mr. Crew reiterated that he had a gun, and she told him that she had a family, the complaint says.
“I got a family too,” Mr. Crew said. “Now drive.”

I didn’t look. Son of Obama?
Should we ask?
Civilians should not become Uber drivers without putting armor between themselves and the unknowns they pick up.
Yeah. If your life is threatened like that you’d better fight like there’s no tomorrow.
No need to ask
Stats show it happens over twice as many times in this direction as the other direction. But, you know, racism works only in one direction according to the Drive By Media.
No, perp and victim are exactly how we pictured them.
I feel the need for some strong hemp....
No picture of the perp in the article. Lazy reporting or coverup?
His girlfriend, Tanaya Mullen, is guilty as hell. Her phone was used to order the Uber. She provided him the gun. Her text to him proves that she knew what was going down. Yet she’s still walking free.
Odd that the Post-Gazette couldn’t seem to run a mugshot of the suspect. Wonder why that could possibly be?
Just guessing
This is like the blonde Little Rock anchor brutally raped and killed by a black rapist murderer a few years back
Silence outside the western Deep South
Diversity is our strength, Diversity is our strength, Diversity is our strength, Diversity is our strength.....
Yeah. If your life is threatened like that you’d better fight like there’s no tomorrow.

It’s extremely difficult to make that leap when you’re in a situation like that. Particularly if you are stuck in a car, at close range. Bullets are instant, so unless you can make them miss, you still have to get the door open, and try not to get shot in the back. People are always going to believe that the one bad thing isn’t going to happen, or something is going so save them (like a police car magically showing up). Her actual best chance would have been to speed up and never stop and if she had her seat belt on ram an abutment and hope the airbags are enough to make her prevail in the trauma. Who is going to take that risk?
And interesting that they disabled comments. But not surprising.
A real head-scratcher, that.
Whatever it takes. Better chance than not.
