A Night Where
Paths Crossed. Innocence Was
Lost. And We Learn A Bit of History Along the
Way. Will There Be a Tribute Over These Three
Senseless Deaths? Meet the Nerve of a
Killer. His Audacity. His Infamy.
I've reported on
some odd stuff here on this blog and have also learned that in my
50 years on this earth, you can't make up stories as good as
reality sometimes delivers.
In the case of this
story, there isn't anything good about it. But the
taste of singularity has reached across the decades to bring us
face to face with one crime being revisited after the commission
of another.
On March 3, 2013, a
couple, both 21 years of age, were rushing to the hospital as the
young pregnant wife was having delivery pains. The
couple was riding in the backseat of what appears to be a Toyota
Camry livery car. Approaching the same
intersection was a BMW driven at approximately 60 mph by someone
who has an extensive rap sheet. The vehicles collided
as the perpetrator's BMW t-boned the vehicle sending it close to a
tractor trailer and launching the pregnant motor out of the
vehicle and underneath the trailer. Her husband, the
father, was trapped inside the vehicle. The
perpetrator was assisted from his vehicle by passersby and he
ended up fleeing the scene of the accident.
The pregnant mother
was operated on at the scene and her son was removed through a
c-section and taken to the hospital. Sadly, the infant
passed away leaving three victims on a night when joy could have
cascaded from the heavens. Instead, the heavens opened
and three souls found their way.
I hadn't given the
accident much consideration after the sheer horror and tragedy of
the initial reading. Stories like this make me cry and
I was only following the story hoping to learn that the
perpetrator had been caught and that justice would soon be
administered.
I was not prepared
for the news I learned today when reading about the story and
preparing to lampoon the perpetrator with some wicked and vicious
comments.

Below is the
information that made me want to tear this bastard to pieces with
a lampoon fit for Adolf Hitler.
From
ABC News,
"The suspect wanted in the hit-and-run death of a Brooklyn couple and their baby says he is ready to turn himself in, but still remains on the lam from police, according to ABC station WABC-TV, which reached him by phone.
Julio Acevedo, 44, said he was fleeing gunfire when he hit the livery cab carrying Nachman Glauber and his pregnant wife Raizel, both 21, around 12:30 a.m. Sunday.
"This why I am willing to turn myself in, because my heart goes out to all of those people that's feeling like I'm so much of a bad guy and I'm really not. I did not know that occurred until I seen the news. Once I seen the news, I said I have to get my attorney ready before I turn myself in," he said.
"
Like I
said, I was gathering my arrows to shoot at this bastard, but for
some reason I decided to read more. This guy had
an enormous rap sheet and one of those "incidents" was
history making....
"Acevedo has a lengthy criminal history, including manslaughter and drunk driving, police said today.
Acevedo was identified by at least one witness who helped him out of the wreckage of his car and was snapped by a photographer when he returned to the scene in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, police told ABCNews.com.
Police believe Acevedo briefly hid out at a friend's home before fleeing the area, according to WABC-TV.
As the dragnet expands, new details about Acevedo's past have emerged.
Acevedo was convicted of manslaughter in 1989 for the shooting death of Kelvin "50 Cent" Marvin two years earlier, according to court records. He was also convicted of robbery and drug possession. The rapper 50 Cent took his name from Marvin's sobriquet.
Acevedo was released in 1998.
And,
as Paul Harvey would have said, "Now you know the rest of the
story."
