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’d aim my car for a concrete bridge abutment.

Or roll out the driver’s door as I approached a new red light.

I know someone who drove a cab in NYC decades ago and had a gun pulled on him twice; both times, he managed to get out of the car at a light.


The one thing I would point out is that if you are going to try your Plan A, you really do want your seatbelt on; I wouldn't rely on the airbag alone for protection. But if you decide to use Plan B, then you have to get your seatbelt off without giving away your intentions.
