ALEJANDRO A. ALVAREZ / Staff PhotographerA man and a woman have pleaded guilty to participating in a fight and a fatal shooting outside Pat’s King of Steaks in 2021, a crime in which a 22-year-old man was killed over a disputePaul Burkert, 37, of Reading, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and illegal possession of a firearm for fatally shooting David Padro Jr. outside the iconic South Philadelphia cheesesteak shop during the melee.
The pair will be sentenced in June. Frick’s lawyer, Brian McMonagle, said she was expected to receive a sentence of probation for her role in the brawl, which had initially attracted national attention over incorrect reports that it had been motivated by an argument over the Eagles and Giants.The dispute — which was captured on video — began around 12:45 a.m. on July 22, 2021, when Padro pulled into a parking spot outside Pat’s and bumped his car door into Burkert’s van.
As the fight continued, Frick hit Padro in the head, causing Burkert to break free. Burkert then pulled a gun from his waistband and shot Padro in the chest. Padro’s father, David Padro Sr., said Monday that the killing “took something from me that I can never get back.”
