The Cleveland Cavaliers clinched a playoff spot over a week ago, so last Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers wasn’t life-or-death. Matthew Warmus thought different.
In a fit to see the Cavs at the Quicken Loans Arena, Warmus shot and killed parking lot attendant David Williams after being refused a handicapped parking space without the proper sticker, The Associated Press reports.
The 27-year old Williams was honored with a candlelight vigil Sunday night. Two hundred people joined to remember the parking attendant who "loved everybody."
Warmus, 25, has been arrested for the incident. According to police reports, the two men argued over the space. After the quarrel seemed to subside, Warmus retrieved a handgun from the trunk of his car. The Cuyahoga County coroner's office found he suffered from a bullet wound to the head and two to the abdomen.
"To take someone's life over something so, something that's nonsense is crazy," Dominque Tate, the mother of Williams's 4-year old son, told WKYC-TV. "It's hard to explain to him that he can't see his dad every day like he wants to. And now he can't talk to him, can't call him if he's sad or anything now."
Krystyna Williams, the victim's mother, said her son's killer should go to prison for life.
"I love him so much," Krystyna Williams said while clutching a picture of her son. "I can't say anything else."
