Events

On March 14, 2007, around 9 p.m., Garvin, wearing a fake beard and carrying a bag containing 100 rounds of ammunition, entered De Marco's Pizzeria on Macdougal and West Houston Street. Garvin asked 33-year-old Alfredo Romero for a menu, and when he turned his back, shot him 15 times in the back.[2] After killing Romero, Garvin fled the scene. NYPD Auxiliary Officers Yevgeniy Marshalik and Nicholas Pekearo begin chasing Garvin. Surveillance video[3][4] shows when the chase reached Sullivan Street, Garvin fatally shot Pekearo as he ducked behind a vehicle. He then ran in the opposite direction and fatally shot Marshalik in the head. After shooting Marshalik and Pekearo, Garvin ran inside a nearby shop. He came out of the shop and, after pointing his gun at armed NYPD officers, was fatally shot numerous times.[5]

Aftermath

After the shooting, Margie De Marco, the owner of De Marco's Pizzeria, decided to close the pizzeria.[6]
