Rose and three friends were accosted by a group of young men Saturday evening in Brooklyn, police said. Members of the group demanded Rose's iPod and **** him twice in the chest when he resisted. The group fled, taking Rose's iPod and a backpack, police said. Rose's relatives spoke to a The New York Times at a family gathering Saturday night. "My cousin today got murdered over some stupid iPod." -Koreena Glanville, quoted in The New York Times "My cousin today got murdered over some stupid iPod," Koreena Glanville, 21, told The Times. "We sent him to school in Pennsylvania so he wouldn't get involved in this," his father, Errol Rose, told the newspaper. Police also have reported a wave of iPod robberies on city subways, saying in April that 50 iPods had been stolen this year, compared to none over the same period last year. Authorities believe that most robbers kept the devices, which can retail for about $100 to $500, for personal use rather than selling them.
