Rick Dembow January 28, 2005 -- A stunning 28-year-old actress died in her fiancé's arms yesterday after a Lower East Side thug answered her challenge — "What are you going to do, shoot us?" — by firing a single bullet into her chest, cops said. Nicole DuFresne, of Brooklyn, had just left a trendy bar with her fiancé and another couple when they were confronted at about 3:15 a.m. by four muggers — two men and two women — at the corner of Clinton and Rivington streets, police said. One of the thugs, who was carrying a gun, demanded money. DuFresne's fiancé, Jeffrey Sparks, 28, not seeing the mugger had a gun and not taking the request seriously, tried to push past the man.

Even though crime is down in NYC, one must still be cautious out at 3 AM. What a senseless tragedy...

Sarcasm is best restrained at the point of a gun.

"the corner of Clinton and Rivington streets"
A very bad neighborhood, yet stupid yuppies still try and party there. I grew up on the east side of Manhattan and people's willingness to travel on the lower east side in the dead of night has always baffled me.

They dissed the thugs. Thug had to demonstrate he had a gun in order to keep his thug "honor" intact. Find the killer and send him to old sparky.

I don't understand.
Aren't guns outlawed in New York City?

Yep. And they probably had--at most--30 bucks between them. Just give the perp the money and keep your mouth shut. Awful.

Senseless.
Sometimes it's wise to keep that "Brooklyn attitude" in check. Just give them the money.

Yes it is senseless but I guess such a left winger as she is just couldn't believe that anyone could be that mean.

I wonder what her blood-alcohol level was. Booze has a knack of making otherwise smart people say stupid things.

I grew up on the east side of Manhattan and people's willingness to travel on the lower east side in the dead of night has always baffled me.Likewise folks (esp. teenage girls ) who would never dream of hitch-hiking in the US, think it "oh-so-free-spirit" to do it in another country.
