Dad ‘killed boy, 17, for getting his daughter hooked on drugs’
Michael D'Biagio reportedly shot Darren Jevcak 'five or six times' as the teenager left the pizza shop where he worked on Friday
A father shot a 17 year-old boy dead to get revenge after the youngster got his daughter hooked on drugs, police say.
Michael D’Biagio, 41, reportedly blasted Darren Jevcak at Scustie’s Pizza Shop in New Castle, Pennsylvania, where the teenager worked, on Friday.
Jevcak was rushed to hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
D’Biagio is said to have confessed to police that he shot the youngster ‘five or six times’ after he ‘got his daughter on drugs or coke.’
The New Castle News reported D’Biagio’s claims that his daughter had been sneaking out of the house to buy weed to smoke.
He is also said to have claimed she regularly snorted cocaine with Jevcak.
Things are said to have come to a head after the dad confronted his daughter about her behavior.

He then called Jevcak, who told D’Biagio he was at work, it is claimed.
The angry dad is said to have left his wife and daughter at a mall to go home and grab his gun.
D’Biagio then made his way to the pizza shop, and shot Jevcak multiple times as the teenager left through a back door.
A criminal complaint seen by the News continued: ‘He realized he had shot Jevcak in the arm and Jevcak went down to the ground.
‘D’Biagio said he shot Jevcak (again) so that he could put (him) out of his misery because (he) looked to be in shock.’
The alleged killer reportedly remained on the scene after Jevcak’s colleagues rushed out to try and help him.
One eyewitness said they’d seen Jevcak lay down on the ground after police arrived.
He has been charged with criminal homicide and aggravated assault, and was arraigned at a court hearing on Monday.
