An enraged New Jersey man fatally punched a motorist following a fender-bender, authorities said.
Troy Leary, 35, was charged with second-degree manslaughter Monday in the March 11 attack that left Terence McManus, 39, brain-dead after striking his head on the ground, according to the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office.
Leary allegedly slugged McManus during the dispute about McManus backing his car into a Mercury Milan parked behind him. The blow caused “him to fall, hit his head, and suffer blunt head trauma,” prosecutors said.
The deadly punch was caught on surveillance video in the 1100 block of Whitman Avenue in Camden, prosecutors and police said.
Investigators tracked the Mercury Milan on surveillance video to and from the scene, ultimately identifying Leary as the driver of the vehicle and the man who attacked McManus, Camden County Prosecutor Grace MacAulay said Tuesday.
*** Leary was taken into custody by US Marshals during a traffic stop late Monday in Camden, authorities said.
McManus, who was remembered as a “kind-hearted, playful and unique soul” in his obituary, was pronounced dead a day later.

Will he get as much time as Derek Chauvin, who did NOT murder Saint George Floyd ?
What do I win?
The deceased was “a kid magnet” per the obituary.
Why black thugs think they can just slug people at will and think that’s ok - another reason I avoid them now in all situations.
That's creepy as a stand-alone. Maybe he truly was a good person who loved kids and didn't "love" kids.
all the blame goes to the legal/justice system ...
Fair saying what legal/justice system now.
The car is at least 11 years old. Punching someone hard enough to knock him out over an 11 year old car. It would be interesting to see the weights and heights of the two.
Its a reason why everyone should carry.
You never know who is gonna be triggered and if you’re going to be around them when it happens.
Low 8q folks tend to “solve” problems with violence. They also tend to get into misunderstandings/problems more often because of lower intelligence.
No, at least an equal amount goes to the media - see Tagline.
When you see the city name of Camden come up there’s about a 99% likelihood the perp will be Amish.
I don’t condone this guys actions in any way, but you seem to have a really warped view.
The age of his car makes it any less his? Any less important to him? If it has been a brand new shiny beamer that would have made it more “understandable”?
Why punch a guy over a car worth a trivial amount. If it were a $200,000 new car it would be a little more understandable. Not that I agree with punching him.
Let’s make it more extreme. Somebody burns your garbage can versus burns your house. Are you equally upset?
Little known fact: Camden exists to make Trenton look good.
Isn’t Camden the armpit of New Jersey?
Armpit?
Camden is actually in a place south of the navel
Camden. Nothing more needs to be said.
