It was just about not saying ‘thank you’ for opening the door for him. An employee explained that Nunez opened the door for Pedroza, who failed to thank him for his nice gesture.
“Why don’t you say, ‘Thank you for opening the door’?” Alsaidi claims Nunez said to which Pedroza responded, “I didn’t tell you to open the door for me.”

A verbal dispute erupted into a physical altercation, as both men fought off one another. Alsaidi said Nunez taunted Pedroza, saying, “Stab me if you can do it.”
From there, Pedroza withdrew a knife and stabbed Nunez in the abdomen and neck. “The victim started screaming, ‘He stabbed me, he stabbed me,’” Alsaidi said.
After Nunez stumbled back into the store, where he reportedly was “bleeding all over the floor,” the victim was subsequently rushed to New York Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Pedroza biked away from the crime scene, before he was arrested Friday morning in Brooklyn and charged with manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.
Nahh that man has issues.
