After paying his dad a visit to help him recover from a fall and chronic drinking problem, a man identified as Joseph Leone Jr. has been shot to death by his dad on New Year’s eve.<\/p>\n

The bereaved wife, Kimberly Leone, who lived with the victim in South Carolina said \u201che went up there to help his daddy recover from alcoholism<\/p>\n

\u201cJoseph always told me, \u2018I don\u2019t want to be like my dad. I don\u2019t want to be like my dad.\u2019 And he still tried to help him.\u201d The wife (pictured below) further told NY Daily News.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Joseph Leone Sr., 57, allegedly shot his 29-year-old son in the chest on the sidewalk outside the dad\u2019s home on Bay Street near Scarboro Avenue\u00a0in Rosebank about 7:25 p.m. Friday, New years eve.<\/p>\n

Medics rushed the victim to Staten Island University Hospital but he couldn’t make it.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say Leone Sr. admitted shooting<\/a> his son.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat shotgun in the garbage can \u2014 that\u2019s the one I shot him with,\u201d he told police, according to the criminal complaint against him.<\/p>\n

Police say they found two shotguns, a box with four shotgun shells, and several boxes of .45-caliber and .44-caliber ammo in the dad\u2019s home, the complaint alleges.<\/p>\n

Leone Sr. was arraigned Sunday, January 2 for murder, manslaughter and charges related to having the shotguns without a permit. He was ordered held without bail.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoseph Leone is a former U.S. Marine with no criminal record. He is presumed innocent, and we caution the public from making any rush to judgement,\u201d said S. Maquita Moody of the Legal Aid Society, which represented him at his arraignment Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will have more to say on this matter in the coming days, weeks and months.\u201d<\/p>\n

About two weeks before his death, Leone Jr. told his wife\u00a0 that his father had fallen down a flight of stairs at home.<\/p>\n

\u201c(The father) was still sitting on the stairs when he called Joe and told him that he needed help,\u201d Kimberly Leone said.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Leone Jr.) had his own drug addiction but he recently went to rehab and got clean,\u201d Kimberly explained, and added that her husband credited her with helping him beat his habit.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said, \u2018I\u2019ll have to go up there and help my daddy recover from alcohol like you helped me to recover from drugs,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Leone Jr. then traveled to New York to spend the holidays with his father but his dad kept getting drunk, Kimberly Leone said.<\/p>\n

A couple of days before the shooting, Leone Sr. even threatened to shoot his son but Leone Jr. didn\u2019t think he meant it, according to Kimberly Leone, who remained home in South Carolina to take care of their kids.<\/p>\n

Leone Jr. joined the U.S. Army in 2010, his wife said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis dad was very abusive throughout his childhood. He always said that his dad beat him when he was little,\u201d Kimberly Leone said. \u201cI never really knew the extent of it because his daddy put on a really great face when I was around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even after Leone Jr. joined the Army his dad berated him for not following in his\u00a0footsteps and becoming a Marine, she said.<\/p>\n

Leone Jr. met his wife at an Army ceremony, her brother-in-law served with Leone Jr. at Fort Benning in Georgia.<\/p>\n

Kimberly Leone said she fears her father-in-law will try to use an insanity defense or claim he was influenced by the cancer he suffers from.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis dad should stay in jail,\u201d Kimberly Leone said. \u201cI know New York doesn\u2019t do the death penalty \u2014 but they should.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
