Ladies and gentlemen of the Bronx and beyond, welcome to the last Bronx News Roundup of June. Here’s to a lovely Independence Day weekend and a fantastic July. Now, to the news!
Weather: Absolutely gorgeous, high in the low- to mid-80s, nice little breeze to cool the sweat beads on the back of your neck. No complaints here. Tomorrow, there’s a slight chance of isolate thunderstorms in the afternoon, but we doubt it.
Story of the Day: Report Says Father’s Rage Led to Bronx Football Star’s Death
Yesterday, we linked to the brain-twisting and tragic story of Truman High School football star Isayah Muller, who was stabbed to death in a Bedford Park parking lot just hours after his graduation ceremony at Lehman College. Today, more details have emerged. According to the NY Post, after a post-graduation meal on City Island, Isayah’s father, Andre Muller, became enraged when he couldn’t locate an expensive bottle of cologne in his car. After dropping off Isayah’s grandmother, the father drove back to the parking lot where the family had dropped off the car during the ceremony and angrily confronted two attendants who were on duty. A brawl ensued, with one of the attendants wielding a machete and the other a makeshift knife, both weapons were apparently on hand for protection. (You know, in case an enraged man accuses you of stealing expensive cologne and you need to shank somebody.) Isayah went to help his father and was stabbed by one of the attendants, once, in the heart. He was pronounced dead a short time later at St. Barnabas Hospital. Muller was charged with assault yesterday and was released after pleading not guilty. Neither of the attendants have been charged with a crime.
