16-Year-Old Boy, Aazis Richardson Shoots Cab Driver To Death, And Even Brags About It - 'That's what I do to people that don't listen'
A 16-year-old male gang member from Newark, New Jersey, accused of
shooting dead a Pennsylvania cab driver showed little remorse Saturday
as he was led into his arraignment.
Aazis Richardson all but admitted to the crime to reporters as he was
walked into the Scranton courtroom by a handful of deputies, and even
seemed to justify killing 47-year-old Vincent Darbenzio because he
refused to take shortcuts. ‘That’s what I do to people that don’t
listen,’ the stone-faced teen said to a WNEP reporter as he entered the
courtroom in shackles and with his hands cuffed behind his back. He is
also suspected in a triple murder in Newark.
Police say Richardson had a neighbour call for a cab just after 1.00am
Saturday morning. The young man soon became agitated as Darbenzio
refused to go the way he wanted, cops said. ‘Richardson said he got
upset because the cab driver was taking the long way and ripping him
off,’ a criminal complaint posted online by the Scranton Times-Tribune
said. ‘What did you say to him when you guys were in the cab together?’ A
reporter can be heard asking Richardson.
‘I didn’t say s**t to him, I just told him take this way, he didn’t want
to listen, he got his a** shot,’ he said. Police say Richardson shot
Darbenzio twice in the head while he was still in the driver’s seat,
took $500 cash and fled the scene. Richardson then uttered an even more
chilling response when asked why he did it.
‘I feel my homies die, everybody got to die.’
Darbenzio was discovered dead just after 5.00am slumped over the
steering wheel of his still-running cab. He had only started driving for
the cab company last month. Authorities tracked phone records to find
the last person who called Darbenzio. That neighbor pointed detectives
to Richardson, and they found him hiding in the attic of his home with a
handgun. Police have been taken aback by the callousness Richardson has
displayed in the hours since. ‘All homicides have a certain level of
coldness,’ Scranton Police Chief Carl Graziano said at a news conference
after the arraignment. ‘But this particular defendant exceeds all
measurable levels of coldness.’
The supposed member of the Boynton Boys Bloods street gang told police
he bought the gun in Newark for $175, and bragged that he’s also
suspected of a triple murder in the crime-ridden northern New Jersey
city. He is due back in court May 30, records showed. But he was not at a
loss for words as he walked into his first appearance before a judge.
‘What about your parents, do you have anything to say to your family?’
The teen was asked.
‘I love y’all,’ he said.
Another reporter asked ‘what about the victim’s family?’
‘F**k them.’
