Bus Driver Kills Co-Worker Over NFL Gambling Debt

A Santa Clara County, California bus driver has been arrested and charged on suspicion of gunning down a co-worker in a bus yard over a gambling debt.

33-year-old Duc Minh Bui was charged on Wednesday with murder in the death of Regulus Teotico, 45, a fellow bus driver with the Valley Transportation Authority.

Teotico was found slumped over in his black Mercedes on Sept. 20 shortly after 9:30 p.m. in the Chaboya Yard employee parking lot in San Jose. Surveillance footage from the lot shows Teotico met with a man driving a white Nissan, according to court records. The man was later identified as Bui.

Video footage appears to show the murder. Teotico can be seen speaking to a man near a white vehicle, authorities say. A friend told authorities he parked his car outside of the lot, he heard two or three bangs from the direction of the parking lot. He then saw a white car drive past him heading south.  The friend recounted how he looked back to where Teotico was standing before, the white car was gone. The friend didn’t see the car pull out of the lot, but decided to follow the car that drove past him for a short distance before returning to the parking lot, according to investigators.

At the parking lot, the friend saw Teotico’s car door was open and found his friend sitting in the driver’s seat unresponsive, with blood coming out of his nose, investigators say. Teotico’s friend called 911 at 9:38 p.m. He had been shot several times and paramedics who responded pronounced him dead at 9:53 p.m. according to investigators.

According to reports, In a joking manner, Teotico had earlier described the co-worker who owed him money as a “chubby Vietnamese guy,” according to homicide investigators. Earlier in the week, Teotico told his friend that his co-worker owed him money for sports betting.

Valley Transportation Authority managers later viewed the surveillance footage that captured the shooting and were able to identify the shooter as Bui, according to investigators.

Sheriff’s investigators served a search warrant at Bui’s home and found three firearms, including two .40-caliber Glock 22 handguns, authorities say. All three guns were registered to Bui and detectives also found an empty Glock firearm box with an obliterated serial number, according to court records.
