1 dead in beer pong game gone wrong
By STEPHANIE FARR/ Philadelphia Daily News
For an argument over plastic cups, a pingpong ball and warm beer, one Montgomery County man lost his life and another may spend the rest of his in prison.
Joseph B. Jimenez, 24, was charged with first-degree murder for allegedly fatally shooting his opponent, Scott Riley, 25, following a game of beer pong at a Bridgeport home Friday night.
Investigators said that they don't know what rule infractions sparked the fight during the drinking game, but Bridgeport Police Chief Zenny Martyniuk said that the men knew each other before the match and had no prior issues.
Jimenez and Riley, both of Bridgeport, were playing beer pong at a small gathering at a mutual friend's house on Second Street near Mill when witnesses saw them arguing over the game, police said. Several witnesses even told investigators that they believed that the men were play-wrestling or horsing around.
Jimenez allegedly told police that after the game, he left the house through the front door and Riley left with another man through the back door.
Once outside, according to one witness, Jimenez and Riley ran into each other in a pedestrian-only alleyway and began talking trash.
According to court documents, Jimenez claimed that Riley had said, "Shoot me! Shoot me! You guys ain't got the b----!"
Jimenez pulled a .40-caliber Taurus handgun from his waistband and shot Riley once in the neck, police said.
Beer pong can get heated. Boscoe almost hit me with a lob qedge after I drained a no look j in his cup last week. Luckily I wrestled out of his hand and laid my pimp hand down strong.
