Christina S. Christi Spicuzza, 38, of Monroeville, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed on February 10, 2022 after picking up a passenger while working as an Uber driver. Prosecutors say the passenger, identified as Calvin Crew, forced Spicuzza to drive to a wooded area in Monroeville, robbed her and then shot her; her body was found two days later by a delivery driver.

Dashcam footage from Spicuzza’s car reportedly shows Crew holding a gun to her head, instructing her to keep driving while she pleaded for her life and mentioned her four children. The footage ends when Crew allegedly takes her phone and rips the dashcam from its mount. During trial testimony, Spicuzza’s fiancé described final texts in which she asked him to pray that she would get a passenger after waiting about half an hour; she picked up Crew shortly afterward.

The trial at the Allegheny County Courthouse is underway, with the prosecution charging first-degree murder and the defense arguing the shooting was an unintentional result of a robbery gone wrong. Spicuzza is remembered by family and friends as a loving mother and a positive presence in her community. Does anyone have information that could help clarify what happened that night?
