Interrogation: Man Breaks Down When He Can't Fight The Video Evidence

On May 20, 2022, a man sat in an interrogation room in Tallahassee, Florida, insisting he was just a scared bystander who ran from danger. "I think they're trying to kill me," he told detectives. But the detectives had something he didn't know about: video evidence from a Ring doorbell camera that showed exactly what happened—and it did not match his story.

The Story the Suspect Told

The suspect told detectives he had been hanging out with his brother at a park when an acquaintance named "Mouse" and a woman named Sydney picked him up. They drove to an apartment complex, and according to the suspect, Mouse started pulling out rifles. The suspect said he got scared, jumped out of the car, and ran to his brother's apartment door. He said he pounded on the door, but his brother was in the shower and didn't answer. The suspect claimed he then ran across the street, asked a stranger to use their phone, tried calling his brother, and eventually made it to a Circle K where police found him.

He insisted he had nothing to do with whatever crime had occurred. "I'm good, bro," he said when detectives mentioned a warrant. "Yeah, no, bro."
