SHOCKING footage showing the moment a disgruntled neighbor fatally shot a couple over a snow shovelling row is now being investigated as a double murder-suicide.
Jeffrey Spaide shot James and Lisa Goy in the middle of their street on February 1.
Who was Jeffrey Spaide?
Jeffrey Spaide, 47, was an engineer from Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania who shot and killed his two neighbours after a snow shovelling dispute, before killing himself.
The son of William Spaide and the late Margaret Gibbon Spaide, he had served in the U.S. Navy as a shipboard engineering technician.
Spaide then joined the United States Army National Guard and United States Navy Reserve as a heavy equipment operator.
After working as a facilities engineer for the Lackawanna River Basic Sewer Authority for five years, he became an environmental engineer manager for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
Spaide had a master's degree in water resources and environmental engineering from Villanova University and a bachelor’s degree from Wilkes University in environmental engineering.
He was later a project engineer for the Carroll Engineering Corporation for over 10 years.
Spaide lived in Plains Township and enjoyed running marathons as well as spending time with his nephew Jayden.
He is survived by sisters, Sharon and Jessica Spaide, his brother, William Spaide, and nieces and nephews, Derek, Bryonna, Che, Erycea and Jayden.
Who were neighbors James and Lisa Goy?
Spaide's fatally shot his neighbours James, 50, and Lisa Goy, 48, after an argument regarding where they shovelled their snow.
The Goy's bodies were found in the suburban street as their 15-year-old autistic son was inside their home.
He is now being cared for by his grandparents.
It seems the couple had a history of disputes with their neighbour Spaide, which led to fatal consequences after the pair began shovelling snow onto his property.
What was the Pennsylvania shooting about?
The Goys became embroiled in a deadly row with their neighbor Spaide, after they began clearing snow from their cars.
The pair were dumping the excess snow on Spaide's property, prompting him to ask them to stop.
James Goy then stopped clearing the snow from his vehicle, walked across to his neighbor in the street and made a fist at him.
Surveillance footage shows the couple yell at Spaide, calling him a 'mother******' and a 'p****.'
Spaide then went back inside his home as the couple continued shouting insults, before he emerged holding a pistol and an AR-15-style rifle.
The Goy's persisted to goad the shooter with verbal abuse before he fired several rounds, shooting James and then Lisa.
