Mark St. Pierre, the driver who injured 13 people and fatally ran over a father walking with his son in the Bronx last month, has been formally indicted on a charge of second-degree murder, and faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted. He appeared in court yesterday to plead not guilty to 50 counts related to the appalling road rage rampage, which resulted in 6-year-old Sebastian Colon seeing his father Miguel die before his eyes. The two had been crossing East Gun Hill Road in Baychester when St. Pierre sped toward them, leaving Colon just enough time to shove his son out of the way. A witness tells the Post that St. Pierre, who had just had a fight with his ex-girlfriend at Chuck E. Cheese, was doing "at least" 85 mph when he slammed into Colon. After the argument, he sped off in his 2008 Infiniti, crashed into two parked cars before killing Colon, and then proceeded to hit several more cars until his vehicle was too wrecked to continue. At the arraignment yesterday, Colon's widow told the Daily News, "My heart dropped when I saw him. To me, I am staring at an animal."

A livery cab driver died after being shot in the chest by a passenger in the Baychester section of the Bronx. NY1 reports that police suspect that Amadou Ndiaye, 46, may have been shot during an attempted robbery—he was shot while driving, then hit a parked car and later another car waiting for the light at the intersection of Wilson Avenue and Boston Road. While Ndiaye's family says he worked for Top Limo—he company denied that—and "prior to that, he worked at Harlem Car Service." There were apparently no car decals indicating what car service employed him, which NY State Federation of Taxi Drivers president Fernando Mateo said would help the investigation. Mateo also said, "We don't know if the perp ripped out the camera, but we do know there was no partition in the vehicle and that's a problem." Ndiaye's relative said, You don't want to be bum. You don't want to eat in the garbage can. You don't want to sleep outside. You have to wear clothes. So what can you do? That's the only things you can do. You try to be good guy, but bad guy kill you for nothing, no reason."
