Lester Holt just said Wake was a basketball powerhouse on the NBC nightly news
Hey guys, I’m out with a group of State/UNC grads who are telling me there is no trace of an article that states the victim actually punched someone before Jones jumped in and did what he did.
Can someone do me a solid and post an article that supports this. I don’t have the time to dig through the whole thread.

Here is the article from the New York Post. Fifth paragraph.

Jones was put on leave.

"Homicide" is not just a medical term. The term "homicide" is used frequently in the Laws of New York State.
§ 125.00 Homicide defined.
Homicide means conduct which causes the death of a person or an unborn
child with which a female has been pregnant for more than twenty-four
weeks under circumstances constituting murder, manslaughter in the first
degree, manslaughter in the second degree, criminally negligent
homicide, abortion in the first degree or self-abortion in the first
degree.
So my understanding is that "homicide" is a broad term that encompasses the crimes of murder, manslaughter, etc.
It's true that the medical examiner's opinion is not the same as a legal ruling by a judge or a jury, but it's more than just a technical medical term. The ruling gives a green light to the prosecutor to charge the accused with one of the types of homicide that are defined in the laws of the state.
I'm not trying to make light of the situation but if you step back from Wake Forest basketball as an alum or diehard fan, this is sadly comical.
You have an AD who fired a coach in 2010 due to "culture issues". Now, we have an assistant coach charged with a homicide and absolutely NOTHING to show for the years in between.
If you want to measure any of this as progress, feel free.
Yes, WF basketball seems to need no outside assistance at being just confoundingly troubled. Not that a lot of schools don’t have scandal and misfortune, but ours is just a strange series of tales for being one of the smallest P6 schools. We’ve made the 30 for 30 joke on here, but someone should write a book, or at least give it the long-form article treatment.
We got a ways to go before we catch Baylor.
Well yeah, that pretty much sums it up. Culture doesn’t get much worse than killing a guy.
The curse began with a sucker punch; here’s hoping it ends with one.

Illini fan here (was here a bit during the Ayo recruitment).. Been following this since the news broke. I didn't sift through all of this but if this story linked story is true then I'd say he was likely justified in confronting the man and it'll likely come down to some eye witness to testify who threw the first punch or who aggressively closed the space between the two of them. If somebody aggressively charges you and you deem it necessary to defend yourself you have that right.

"Szabo — in town for his stepsister’s wedding — had left his brother’s LIC hotel and was looking for a cab he ordered, his family claimed.
Szabo, 35, banged multiple cars in front of 41-10 29th St. at around 1:15 a.m., sources said.
A local resident heard the ruckus and came out of his home to confront Szabo, who then punched that person in the face, according to the sources.
Jones then approached Szabo and slugged him — causing him to fall to the ground and hit his head on the pavement."
If Szabo had already punched somebody in the face, as said here, you'd really think most charges will be dropped. I don't know what they'll do when him just leaving the scene. Some charges likely still pressed but he'd hardly be the first guy to knock somebody out (not knowing more damage was done) and walking away.
