Arguing over "rights" to a parking spot are common, but it's grim that some disputes have to become violent. Yesterday afternoon, a man was killed after fighting with another man over a parking spot in Brooklyn. Ricardo Sterling thought that a driver in a blue Jaguar had taken his spot near the Good Hope West Indian Restaurant on Flatbush Avenue. Sterling got into a fight with the driver and threatened him with a knife (the driver's friend tried to stop Sterling, but he was threatened, too). Then the fight moved into the restaurant, and the driver fatally shot Sterling.
A witness told the Post, "I walked past and then I heard mad shots. I don't know how many there were. It was just like pop-pop-pop! I came back to the restaurant and went inside. The guy was face down. He must have been on his cellphone because he was still holding it in his hands. There was a pool of blood around the guy and his head was all messed up."
The driver fled the scene; police are not sure if Sterling and the driver knew each other. The Post had a sad photograph of a police officer holding Sterling's small child - his 5 months pregnant wife had been waiting in their double-parked car with the child outside.

My condolences to the family.
Now that it's the "Holiday Season" it's not unusual for people to get into a fight over a parking spot, but to threaten someone with a knife? In front of a child no less?
Assuming that he actually was threatened with a knife, the man who shot him should just have called the police. Now a father is dead and his killer will likely spend years in jail.
There are lots of human "timebombs" in nyc. It just takes the right confrontation to set one of them off.

Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la" :).
i was in this neighborhood yesterday afternoon. the streets were filled with honking, pissed off, automobile chaos and the sidewalks had an ambience of overwhelming hostility and aggravation.
I think it was justifiable. If the man pulled out a knife on me and was about to use it on me, and I had a weapon, I'd sure enough shoot him. Kill or be killed!
But the guy shood of not ran off, if he stood ground it probably would have just been a charge for gun possession.
OOPS! spelling error shood = should. The grammatical ghettoness came out of me.
Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the local news networks will be at the funeral and will be demanding an investigation. I'm kidding of course.
This is no different than any other "Road Rage" incident.
White people do this too. Have you seen the lines at Zabar's during the holiday rush? You try cutting those lines.

At least at Zabar's, they'll just yell at you rather than shoot you.
I used to live in east flatbush and as A said the sidewalks in that neighborhood are brimming with hostile and aggravated people, primarily those that have gotten off the boat from some two-bit caribbean postage stamp country.

Hand over the smoked salmon or I'll bust a cap in your ass. No herring, no peace.
