PARENTS OF SON STABBED ‘OVER ONE BEER' CALL FOR RESTORATIVE JUSTICE IN NYC
BODEGA KILLING

BY CHECKEY BECKFORD • PUBLISHED 2 HOURS AGO • UPDATED 2 HOURS AGO


NBC Universal, Inc.

The parents of a suspected shoplifter say they don’t want the bodega worker
accused of stabbing their son to death to end up behind bars. News 4’s Checkey
Beckford reports. 

The parents of a suspected shoplifter say they don't want the Queens bodega
worker accused of stabbing their son to death to end up behind bars.

Dylan Marino died Tuesday after police say he tried to steal a beer from a
bodega in Rego Park. The United Bodegas of America said clerk Netesh Netesh
chased Marino outside to get the drink back and during a scuffle, stabbed the
21-year-old.

"My child was murdered by a bodega employee over one beer," said Kate DeSommes,
Marino's mother.

The clerk was arrested but shortly thereafter released while prosecutors say the
investigation continues. The UBA claims the clerk acted in self-defense.

"It's clear to everyone that this man was defending himself and his life could
have been taken away," said Fernando Mateo.

DeSommes blasted the UBA spokesman, whom she claims slandered her son as being
violent.

"He was pursued by a bodega employee outside the store. It was absolutely, 100%
not self-defense," she said. "This tape has been published."

News 4 viewed the video DeSommes is referring to, showing what appears to be the
clerk first chasing Marino, then Marino chasing the clerk into the street. It is
unclear what happened before Marino is stabbed. News 4 has not independently
verified the video.

"The DA's office right now, they're accumulating video tape, trying to see
exactly what happened," said former prosecutor Michael Bachner. "If Mr. Marino
was choking Mr. Netish, or using aggression against him, and Mr. Netesh believed
he needed to use deadly physical force to protect himself, no jury in the world
would convict."

DeSommes is confident the clerk will be charged in her son's murder, but her
sights are set on a specific end goal.

"I do not want him to be incarcerated. I know that will ruin his life," she
said. Instead, she wants her son's death to not have been in vain.

"Restorative justice is when the district attorney and the victim and the
perpetrator and the perpetrator's representatives come together and discuss the
situation," she said. "No one should be incarcerated at Rikers. It is a human
atrocity."

Marino's funeral was scheduled for Saturday morning and DeSommes had invited
formerly incarcerated Rikers inmates she may have helped to come by his
pallbearers.

The United Bodega Workers of America say they've been told the worker who took a
life may be off the hook. NBC4 New York's Erica Byfield reports.
