ACTRESS SLAIN
NY Post ^ | January 28, 2005 | MURRAY WEISS, PATRICK GALLAHUE and RICH CALDER

Posted on 01/28/2005 5:41:03 AM PST by Pharmboy

Rick Dembow January 28, 2005 -- A stunning 28-year-old actress died in her fiancé's arms yesterday after a Lower East Side thug answered her challenge — "What are you going to do, shoot us?" — by firing a single bullet into her chest, cops said. Nicole DuFresne, of Brooklyn, had just left a trendy bar with her fiancé and another couple when they were confronted at about 3:15 a.m. by four muggers — two men and two women — at the corner of Clinton and Rivington streets, police said. One of the thugs, who was carrying a gun, demanded money. DuFresne's fiancé, Jeffrey Sparks, 28, not seeing the mugger had a gun and not taking the request seriously, tried to push past the man.

Penn Station is in the FILTHIEST nabe in Manhattan. I HATE the West 30s, but you are correct, it is safe due to the heavy police presence. Even the Port Authority bus terminal is safe at night now.

You know where I can find place for $1,500? Do tell! If I told you what my rent was, you'd probably reach through the screen and smack me. I still hesitate each month when writing the check...

'She died in my arms'

yeah, but not before he walked away leaving her behind -- "I thought she was right behind me."

Lame-*ss pussy excuse of the year alert. Spineless femme ought to be ashamed of himself. Why didn'the try to defend her? Pussy.

I wish NY/NJ were shall issue states...my son in law in VA got his carry last year. He has a nice Glock now.

Maybe this murder will ripple through her leftwing acting/playwright community and change some minds. I hope this tragedy does SOME good.

You haven't lived till you've taken the drunk tank home to Long Island.

Wait..... I've taken that ride. Numerous times! The biggest problem was getting back to the city for my car, and finding it!!! :-)

The NYPD has changed in the last couple of years, so has the DA's office.

Is this a "Made for TV Movie" or what?

They'll portray Nichole's death as senseless and tragic, but the remainder of the movie will be a hit piece blaming you and me (society as a whole) for her death because we are the reason this thug pulled the trigger due to our apathy toward the poor and disenfranchised amongst us. *Rolleyes*

Don't be ridiculous. People get prosecuted and justice is dispensed on a daily basis without the MSM reporting on it.

Well, PA is a shall issue state, which was a key reason, I must admit, for my decision to move there if I had been offered a job in Hackettstown, NJ. Connecticut has a two-tier system whereby you apply at the local police chief's office for a local permit, and then can qualify for a shall-issue permit statewide.

Unfortunately, I don't see shall-issue in NY or NJ anytime soon.

Come on you really think anything would happen if the jury found him innocent. The media would make it out as if justice had prevailed. Everybody knows that everything bad that blacks do is based upon white racism (sarcasm alert).

Hi Pharmboy-

"...Maybe this murder will ripple through her leftwing acting/playwright community and change some minds..."

Agreed...but they'll probably change their minds from they had done "enough" towards the criminalization and confiscation of private, legally-owned firearms to that they should do MORE towards additional criminalization and confiscation of private, legally-owned firearms.

There the lefty sheeple reside...in their blissful ignorance of reality.

It's very frustrating for NYers who would like to see these human predators get the punishment they deserve. But we have not been able to see the death penalty carried out even for the most heinous of crimes. Morgenthau is soooo concerned about the rights of these delicate flowers of humanity. Forget the victims' rights.

It looks like Planned Parenthood finally caught up with her.

You can get a large one bedroom in Bay Ridge, still one of the safest nabes in NYC, for about $950-$1,000. Of course, its still takes almost an hour to get to Midtown on the R then the N.

Morgenthau put a navy veteran in jail for a weekend for not registering his florida registered pistol in new york. Imagine that. He was defending his child against a scum criminal who climbed in through his bedroom window.

I wonder what her blood-alcohol level was. Booze has a knack of making otherwise smart people say stupid things.

According to another news story I read, all of them were boozed up to some extent.
