After they got into a dispute over a beer-pong game, Joseph Jiminez, 24, and Scott Riley, 25, met in a Bridgeport alleyway and Riley made a dare, investigators said.
"Shoot me, shoot me," Riley said to Jiminez and a companion. "You guys ain't got the ... "
Jiminez accepted the challenge, police said, and today he is being held without bail at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility on murder and related charges pending a hearing a week from now.
The Montgomery County District Attorneys' office gave the following account:
Late Friday night, Jiminez and Riley were inside a house in the 100 block of West Second Street playing beer pong, a drinking game in which participants attempt to throw ping-pong balls into cups of beer. When they succeed, members of the other team have to drink the beer. They began quarreling, a witness said.
Jiminez told police that just before the shooting, he left the house through the front door while Riley and a companion went out the back. They met in the alley.
That's when Riley issued his challange. Jiminez then took out a silver Taurus .40 caliber handgun, shot him in the neck and fled. He then dumped the gun into a trash can, police said.
Police arrested Jimenez near the scene and found the gun, which state police determined he owned.
Riley was taken to Montgomery Hospital after the shooting, which occurred at 11:40 p.m., and pronounced dead.

Hello, my name...aw nevermind.
A picture can say a thousand words.
Fine piece of writing.
how are those earrings working out for ya?
I can’t see ever daring someone to shoot me but I’m confident that if for some reason I had to it wouldn’t be Jimmy
Worse yet, a drunk p*ssed off Jimmy.
Shouldn’t it be Jose Jiminez and this guy looks more like a rocket scientist.
Anthony R. Wood is going to have to go back to remedial writing school. There are far to many words describing the actions of Riley and Jimenez in this sentence. It sounds almost as if the gun did not have a mind of it's own and was not responsible for this tragedy.
A better way to phrase it would be "In response to a verbal challenge, a Silver Taurus .40 Caliber Semi-Automatic Hangun was fired, killing Mr. Riley. The Murder Weapon was then disposed of in a nearby trash can."
Actually, I think it should be “Inigo Montoya”...
But in this case, one word suffices: Scumbag.
