Pa. Uber driver’s terrifying last moments as she begs accused killer for her life caught on dash cam
Penn Live ^ | Feb. 18, 2022 | John Luciew

It began as a normal Uber pick-up for the mom of four moonlighting as a driver. That is until the man in the backseat put a gun to her head.

According to police, that man was 22-year-old Calvin Crew, of Penn Hills, Allegheny County, who has been arrested and charged in the shooting death of Uber driver and mom of four, Christina (Christi) Spicuzza.

Crew faces charges of criminal homicide, robbery and tampering with evidence, according to authorities, according to KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh, which reports:

The dash cam footage recovered by police shows, 38-year-old Spicuzza begging for her life – ultimately to no avail.

This, after Crew put a gun to Spicuzza’s head about 10 minutes into the ride last Thursday.

Crew told her to “keep driving,” according to the criminal complaint cited by KDKA.

Spicuzza responded by saying, “Come on, I have a family.” Crew replied, “I got a family, too, now drive.”

Spicuzza’s pleading didn’t end there. The dash cam footage shows her saying, “I’m begging you, I have four kids.”

The video ends with Crew saying, “Do what I say and everything will be all right,” KDKA reports, citing the complaint in the case.

But it wasn’t all right. Far from it.

In a press conference this morning, police told the media that it’s unclear what happened from the time Spicuzza’s dash cam was shut off and until her death, but it must have been “terrifying for Christine.”

The body of the mother of four from Turtle Creek, Pa., was found last Saturday afternoon. Spicuzza died of a single gunshot wound, police said without elaborating.

GPS records provided by Uber show the pair drove through several Allegheny County neighborhoods. Along the way, phone records showed that Spicuzza’s cash apps were accessed, KDKA reports.

According to police, robbery was the main motive in the killing. They said there’s no known prior relationship between Crew and Spicuzza.

Spicuzza and Crew then drove to Monroeville, where police say she was shot last Thursday night. Her body was found three days later in a wooded area there.

At last report, Crew, who was taken into custody and locked up at the Allegheny County Jail Thursday night, was still awaiting formal arraignment in the case.

I know he had the gun to her head so there was probably no way unless she had been trained, but I wish there would have been a way for her to overpower him and use a weapon herself.

“More and more the females get more and more insufferable”

Here where I live in Western Europe I see it here to an extent myself. Frankly IDK what the heck is going on with them, I think some crap culture from the US made it way here and infected the women.

I live out in the country, anbhour south of Pittsburgh.

Generally, most violence in this area is limited to blacks killing blacks in their tribal / criminal warfare.

I got to juxtapose the reporting of the murder of this beautiful White woman with the accidental shooting of Duante Wright, while resisting arrest for armed robbery.

The heinous murder of Ms Spicuzza was carried by the local news, though I'm sure that it will be dropped in a few days.

Just matter of fact reporting.

No interviews of grieving family members, no civil rights attornies to comment on the injustice of it, no one to comment on the societal implications of black on White crime.

No mention of the horror and terror that consumed the last moments of this Mother's life.

In fact, there was no mention of race or her pain and suffering, at all.

Compare that to the reporting, on the national news, of the sentencing of Kim Potter for the accidental shooting of the violent thug, Duante Wright, as he violently resisted arrest.

Race and social injustice were the predominant themes.

Interviews with heartbroken relatives and "civil rights" shyster Benjamin Crump railing about raicial injustice.

This story will never be reported in the national news, just like the story of the murder of Holly Vedalla, by a black thug, on New Year's Day.

She worked with my sister.

There will be no marches or demonstrations for these beautiful women, no looting, arson or riots. Normies better wake up.

Are you sure?

I'm local and can only find that the POS is being held, no bail.

I overheard a conversation between two women a few months ago in a ladies room. One said her son/grandson (IDK which) is a new pilot for one of the armed services (IDK which - Navy, I think). He isn’t permitted to speak directly to black subordinates because they might object to his TONE OF VOICE.

I never heard how he’s supposed to communicate. Maybe use a white subordinate as “translator”? Maybe find a mulatto as a go-between? ASL?

Could be a problem if your co-pilot is black and the plane is going down.

Also, the woman could’ve been lying. I just thought it was odd, and it stuck with me.

Since our legal system does nothing to these criminally insane people, you have to wonder how much more we can take.

Bring back public hangings

Absolutely, good for morale and teaches children not to mess up. Plus it is a lot cheaper then keeping them in jail.

I would have run my car into a parked car or a building and taken my chances.

It’s such an insanely stupid way to commit a crime due to the fact that there’s a load of evidence leading up to the crime; phones, accounts, GPS data, times/dates, etc.. In this case dash cams too.

Unfortunately, such criminals are that dumb and it doesn’t stop them. So sad for this woman.

Events like this could be kryptonite for Uber, I wonder how many women drivers there are that will think twice about working for them. I’ve had plenty of female Uber drivers. Maybe live broadcasting is needed, something...

Some want men’s pay without men’s work; some want the pay without any work at all.

I agree; I would assume there was 0% chance of it ending well otherwise. Despite media blackouts, the low-profile race war almost ensures this ends with a murder - and some people might not want to live with other alternative endings. FWIW, if it was a white guy I’d do the same - since the same outcome is becoming more likely.

"Spicuzza died of a single gunshot wound, police said without elaborating."

Too bad. He deserved so much more -- in parts of the body that caused great pain before the ultimate fatal wound...
