Suspended EMT Jason Green Died in Brawl Over Parking Spot

(July 20) -- The New York City emergency medical technician who allegedly ignored a pregnant woman's pleas for help last year was fighting with three men over a parking spot when he was fatally shot outside a nightclub this week, according to reports.

Police told the New York Post that Jason Green, 32, had gained the upper hand in a fistfight with three men outside the New York club Greenhouse when a fourth man opened fire, shooting Green twice in the torso.

Jason Green, 32, was fatally shot after getting into a fistfight outside a New York City nightclub, police said.

Citing officials, the paper said Green was "standing over one of his assailants and punching him when a friend of the man he was pummeling opened fire."

The dispute was believed to have been over a parking spot, the New York Daily News reported.

Green and his girlfriend, fellow medic Melisa Jackson, 23, were suspended for a month without pay following the Dec. 9 death of Au Bon Pain cashier Eutisha Rennix. Green and Jackson allegedly refused to help the pregnant Rennix, who had suffered an asthma attack, saying they were on a break. The case remains under investigation.

Jackson is now mourning Green's death, according to the Post.

"Melisa is completely destroyed by this," a colleague told the newspaper. "She's not handling it too well."

Three suspects are being questioned in Green's death. The altercation between Green and the men was captured in a cell phone video, according to the Post, which said the blurry quality of the recording does not show the suspects' faces.
