A Wake Forest assistant basketball coach has been charged with assault after a deadly attack on a Florida tourist in New York City, the New York Post reported Thursday.
Jamill Jones allegedly slugged Boca Raton marketing professional Sandor Szabo so hard on Sunday that he fell backward, hit his head on the concrete and lost consciousness. Szabo was on life support through Monday but died Tuesday.
Szabo, 35, reportedly was in New York for the wedding of his stepsister when he made a mistake that cost him his life.
Just after 1 a.m. Sunday morning, he called for an Uber to pick him up at the hotel where his brother was staying, but he could not find his ride. As a result, he allegedly began banging on the window of multiple cars in hopes of finding his driver.
Among the cars Szabo allegedly approached was one driven by Jones, which led to their confrontation. The Post reported that Szabo was apparently drunk at the time of the incident and had already punched a local resident who had come outside to see who was causing such a ruckus.

Obviously unfortunate that the guy died but my guess, given the fact that he had already punched someone else and was drunk, is that he had the punch coming.
Unless self defense can be shown.
Chances are, it is a lie, since the black thug killed an innocent white man.
?
It does read as if Szabo was the aggressor. If so I hope all charges are dropped.
How the hell would you even know that? Please tell me you are being sarcastic.
Yep - good chance the UBER driver he ordered got a glimpse and decided to drive on.....
Did the perp call for help for the dead guy? Did the perp leave the scene? If the cops had to go looking for the perp, I think the DA might be more inclined to charge him.
Really? A drunk guy is running around punching folks and banging on car doors, but the assistant coach is the problem?
If an Uber driver sees that a fare is visibly drunk, is he allowed to reject the passenger, or just leave without acknowledging him?
