Case Story |
|
| |
A Different Kind Of Road Rage |
|
| |
In Newark, the largest city in New Jersey, traffic gets ugly. Broad Street, which runs all the way from the airport through town, can become congested during rush hour -- backing up cars for miles. With conditions like that, cops occasionally find themselves responding to road rage incidents. But on Friday, February 25, 2005, they weren't expecting the kind of road-related report they received.
Officers say it was the height of rush hour when Lauren K. Cheek boarded a crowded New Jersey Transit Bus -- toting a semi-automatic handgun and picking a fight with another man on the bus, James Scott. After a brief verbal altercation between the men, authorities say Cheek took out his handgun and shot at Scott several times, as terrified passengers dived for safety. Scott died from the gunshot wounds, and cops say Cheek fled from the crime scene. |

Cops: Cheek Is Violent And On The Run |
|
| |
Cheek hasn't been seen since the murder -- and cops are anxious to find him. They say anyone brazen enough to allegedly kill a man in front of dozens of witnesses could be capable of anything. Authorities say Cheek is extremely violent and could have ties to the "Bloods" street gang. Although he usually wears his hair in dreadlocks, police say he may have cut them in an effort to disguise himself. |
