Police said the shooting stemmed from a dispute over a parking space. Chicka and Miller had reportedly been fighting over the venue for several months, according to WTAE.
“It’s a shame that a man was killed for nothing,” neighbor Greg Rager said, according to KDKA. “Just stupid.”
One neighbor told KDKA that Miller was territorial about space after he recently moved into a home on the street.
“I heard about it a few weeks or months ago, but I didn’t think it would get to this point where you’re going to kill somebody,” the neighbor told WPXI.
