A Starbucks employee was credited Friday with recognizing 24-year-old Caleb "Kai" McGillvary, wanted in the beating death of a man nearly three times his age. The pair met amid the neon lights of New York City's Times Square over the weekend and went to the home of 73-year-old lawyer Joseph Galfy Jr., authorities say. On Monday, Galfy was found beaten to death in his bedroom, wearing only his socks and underwear. McGillvary was arrested Thursday in Philadelphia and charged with his murder. McGillvary was arraigned Friday. A court official said he has a U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement detainer for three arrests in Canada in recent years. McGillvary gained a measure of fame in February after intervening in an attack on a California utility worker. In an interview viewed millions of times online, he described using a hatchet he was carrying to repeatedly hit a man who had struck a worker with his car, fending off a further attack. His rambling, profanity-laced interview to a television station went viral, with one version viewed more than 3.9 million times on YouTube. McGillvary later appeared on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" continued... ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antilles Posted May 18, 2013 #4 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I don't think I'd want Kai swinging a hatchet anywhere near me..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonPollock Posted May 26, 2013 #5 Share Posted May 26, 2013 It's hardly surprising given his (self alleged) circumstance - a homeless hitchhiker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
