WASHINGTON — A fight in a Chesapeake, Virginia, eatery that left one man dead Dec. 28 reportedly started over the Redskins-Cowboys game, according to the victim’s fiancée.
Ronnie Cisko, 36, of Chesapeake is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Charles Lee Setchel, 48, of Chesapeake.
Robin Stewart, Setchel’s fiance, says Setchell and his group were cheering for the Cowboys. Cisko and his friends were cheering for the Redskins.
The two men started jabbing each other during the game, and the interaction escalated into a fight, Stewart tells NewsChannel 3.
Surveillance video from Zino’s Italian Restaurant shows Cisko striking Setchel in the throat. The medical examiner says Setchel died from a vertebral artery dissection.
See video of the fight.
Cisko will be in court later this month.
