On April 30, a Union-Endicott graduate was shot and killed in Concord, N.C., a city located about 25 miles northeast of Charlotte, N.C.<\/p>\n

Though he was living in Charlotte at the time of his death, the victim \u2013 David Pittarelli, 33 \u2013 grew up in the Southern Tier.<\/p>\n

The details of what transpired are not entirely clear, but it is known that Pittarelli was shot by 22-year-old Ryan Cochran, a firefighter with the Kannapolis Fire Department.<\/p>\n

According to a Concord Police Department press release, \u201cAfter the initial investigation it appears that Ryan Cochran and his girlfriend were traveling on Concord Salisbury Road toward Concord when a vehicle began following them. The vehicle continued following them for several miles and into a residential neighborhood. Cochran stopped near the intersection of Plott Drive and Charing Lane. At that time there was a physical altercation and Pittarelli was shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

WBTV reported that Pittarelli was not armed, but WBNG reported that Cochran is still claiming self-defense.<\/p>\n

Pittarelli\u2019s father, also named David, told WBNG that police have kept him out of the loop of the investigation. He said, “I haven’t gotten any information. I have made numerous phone calls to the police department that is in charge of the investigation, left messages \u2013 not one returned call.\u201d<\/p>\n

Karly Thornton, who was friends with Pittarelli, called the situation \u201cvery sketchy.\u201d She said, \u201cAll I know as of right now is that the person who shot him is not being charged with anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thornton grew up in Owego, though she now lives in Charlotte, N.C. She said that she\u2019s known Pittarelli for about a decade and that they spent last Christmas together, since neither was returning home for the holidays.<\/p>\n

Thornton said, \u201cDavid had a huge heart, a massively huge heart. The number one thing that stands out about him is what a good a father he was to his five-year-old son. He was an amazing father, a very good-hearted person.\u201d She added, \u201cHe had recently gotten a girlfriend and at work things were looking up for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, she said, \u201cI guess more than anything his family just wants answers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
