NYT: Why Was Ridgefield Student in Montclair?

The death of Ridgefield student Brian Schiavetti has raised more questions than answers, according to a New York Times article.

 

A which left 21-year-old Ridgefield High School graduate  dead on Sunday still has no answers, but more details have been revealed in a New York Times article published today.

Persons in the article that the Times quoted, including Schiavetti’s family and several friends, expressed dismay as to why the young man was in New Jersey at all. 

The Times reports that the apartment building in which Schiavetti was killed was known for drug deals: “Residents of the building said that many tenants were transients, and that drug dealing was common,” the article states.

However, Schiavetti apparently has no criminal record and was by all means a at Villanova University last semester.

According to the Times, a witness at the scene said a “plum colored SUV” drove up to the building, dropped off Schiavetti and another man and then drove off. The two men entered the building and “appeared to be friends,” a witness reportedly told the Times.

Shortly thereafter, there was gunfire. 

Then: “In a few moments, the other man would sprint out the back door, his hand wrapped in a towel,” the Times reports.

Montclair police confirmed they have a suspect but nobody in custody, according to the article.

It's just all the anti bush people (justified on many levels) are incapable of objectivity --andRead More able to see the many flaws of obama. The man has desecrated and disrespected the Constitution---a fact that would have enraged the left had Bush done it. The point is that if bias is something the left abhors, then dont act in such a biased way towards the ACTIONS of men in the oval office. If you consider poor treatment of suspected terrorists to tarnish the reputation of the United States, then please dont quietly accept the killing of Americans who the CIA suspect are terrorists; dont applaud the awesome way he directed the operation of Navy Seal Team Six and the killing of Osama bin Laden but excuse his total absence when our Ambassador in Libya is killed. They remove his involvement in anything that doesnt go well. It's all a show. And all those smart people on the left---so CAPABLE of making assessments of Bush are now incapable of analyzing Obama? No--it's bias. It's intellectual dishonesty. Hold this guy accountable. Dont put party before country.

The workingRead More people who pay all the taxes and carry the load for the freeloaders are being made suckers by O.

People, stop spraying your lawns with chemicals! Cancer rates in CT are higher than other states.Read More That's because we have the money to spray our lawns and turn them into green perfection. But it can kill you and your kids. Just stop it already. Is your grass more important than the health of your family?

Thunder Hill? You mean so you make sense? As in --when you write complaints on 5 other threads,Read More yet then distill another person's comments as not worthy of consideration -to be just 'whining?' Lisa --i dont think we should discriminate on the basis of age. But maybe we should place a threshold of 88 IQ to be able to post? That might make sense--- a lot more sense than one guy I see making absurd commentary anyway?

Lisa, with the new Patch format, maybe you should think about setting a minimum age requirement.

No money for the classrooms? A shame. Ridgefield's BOE just donated $25,000 of taxpayer money toRead More yet another artificial turf field. Gee, that works out to about $480 per classroom - exactly what the teachers have to spend out of their pockets on YOUR kids. Lesson: Money for sports? Yes. Money for the classroom. No.
