Pennsylvania Uber driver and mother of four pleads for her life before being shot in head, suspect arrested
2022-02-20
[FoxNews] An Uber driver and the mother of four children who was murdered in Pennsylvania this month begged for a passenger to spare her life in a robbery attempt which resulted in her death, according to dashcam evidence.

"I’m begging you, I have four kids," said 38-year-old Christi Spicuzza, according to dashcam video footage of the gruesome crime, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.

Spicuzza, of Turtle Creek, was found dead on Feb. 12 with a single gunshot wound to the head in Monroeville, about 10 miles east of Pittsburgh, the Allegheny County Police Department stated.

On Feb. 10, around 9:15 p.m., Spicuzza picked up a 22-year-old passenger named Calvin Crew. Upon entering the vehicle, Crew allegedly pulled a gun out and placed it to the back of Spicuzza's head, according to a criminal complaint. In the complaint, police discussed evidence found on Spicuzza’s dashcam.

The complaint states, according to the Post-Gazette, that Spicuzza made clear to Crew that she had a family. Crew responded, "I got a family too. Now drive."

Crew allegedly told Spicuzza that if she followed his demands then everything would "be all right," just before Crew reaches for the dashcam and the footage ends.

Crew was arrested on Thursday and arraigned Friday before District Judge Robert P. Dzvonick. Pending a preliminary hearing on Feb. 25, Crew is being held without bail in the Allegheny County Jail, the Post-Gazette noted.

#5  Crew is heartless and dead inside. Hopefully Pennsylvania will accommodate and take care of the rest of his worthless carcass.

#4  UBER DOES NOT ALLOW DRIVERS TO CARRY WEAPONS

At one point in the company’s history, Uber did allow drivers to carry firearms with them in their vehicles. Drivers simply had to abide by the local, state, and federal laws about carrying guns in a car, and the company would not intervene. However, Uber’s weapons policy has changed slightly since then.

According to Uber’s current weapons policy, no one can carry a firearm in an Uber – including drivers, riders, and other passengers. If a driver does choose to carry a weapon in his or her vehicle, he or she will have to abide by certain Transportation Security Administration rules about transporting firearms and ammunition.

The driver must unload the weapon and lock it in a hard-sided container.The driver must place the container in the trunk of the car.The driver must place any accessories, such as ammunition, clips, and magazines, in the trunk of the vehicle as well.
If the driver violates any of these provisions with his or her weapon, the company will suspend his or her account. This same policy applies to passengers as well.

#3  BTW: It's been said 100's of times.......

This is an example of a Liberal Democrat run State / City where defensive carry is so controlled it is all but banned for citizens wishing to protect themselves. Leaving the Government and Criminals the only ones well armed.

What's the typical response time for a Pennsylvania under staffed / Defunded local Police Dept.?
Depending on the city location it's 20 mins to 45 mins.

Note: Most FELONY level crimes involving physical interaction between Thug & Citizen take less than 1 min (robbery, stabbing,assualt) to <12 mins (rape/murder).

#2  No. What will happen is white preachers will line up white people to wash black feet. And the plate will be passed to raise a collection for "the Most Livable City 2022" campaign. That's Pissburgh and blue cities in general.

In a normal society, he would have been removed from the streets long ago.

SARCASTIC QUESTION: Will the White community (WLM) be rioting and looting because a Black man killed a White mother working to feed her 4 kids?
