A father of seven is dead after a dispute with a reported teenager over a loud cellphone conversation on a New York City bus turned deadly this week.
According to CBS News, 41-year-old Jonathan Pettigrew was fatally shot about 2:30 p.m. Monday after confronting another passenger who was speaking loudly on a phone aboard a bus in the Bronx.
At some point during what was an exchange of words, the other passenger — described by the New York Post as being between 13 and 16 years old — opened fire on Pettigrew.
Surveillance video showed passengers rushing off the bus before the victim collapsed on a sidewalk with a gunshot wound to the stomach.
Pettigrew was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to WABC-TV.
The NYPD told CBS News that the complaint over the volume of the phone call was what ultimately led to the shooting.
Pettigrew had apparently asked the suspect to stop yelling into his phone before the situation escalated into a murder in broad daylight.

So, self defense?
That’s gonna produce at least a couple of good, solid leads.
Them again, and again and again......
“So, self defense?”
Most likely a black on black dissing/murder so down the memory hole it will go.
Life is cheap in MamCommie’s NYC.
A hostile, foreign country.
Cordon it off and build a fence like with Mexico.
Was black on black, so that wouldn’t count.
The limited description of a “young male in white shirt” is suspect.
I’m sure that they were happy to be able to include the word ‘white’ somewhere in the suspect’s description.
Guns not allowed in NYC. Especially teenagers.
You best not be disrespecting teenagers.
Serious question!
Regards,
It will be again soon. It’s the only logical conclusion.
Not a peep will be heard from the BLM race-baiters. Doesn’t fit the narrative, help the revolution, or increase hatred of whitey.
They gon’ be showin’ him “the love”...in prison!
I cringe evert time I hear a New Yorker refer to NYC as the greatest city in the world !
If only the bus had been free all would have been well!
