Promising Bronx Boxer Shot Dead

Twenty-year-old Ronney Vargas, a three-time Golden Gloves champion was shot and killed after a dispute yesterday in the Bronx. After a confrontation at a bodega in East Tremont, a group of male suspects followed Vargas and blocked his car in. He was then pistol-whipped and shot in the torso. Vargas then desperately tried to drop off, sideswiping cars before finally getting out and collapsing. Vargas had just turned pro last year and was already 8-0. His family says that his high profile in his South Bronx neighborhood may have made him more of a target. A police source told the NY Daily News, "It was a dispute over some females. He talked to the wrong girls, and the boyfriend didn't like it." And apparently the killing was

caught on surveillance tape
