If he had been dealt with correctly and harshly years back, maybe this could of been avoided.
I looked him up and he's currently being held in Lee County Florida jail for aggravated stalking, violating a restraining order, harassment, assault, kidnapping and domestic battery by strangulation. The newest charge occurring this month --October 2025 I knew this wouldn't be the last time we heard of this psycho.
the most damaging thing you can do to a tiktoker is to stop paying attention to them.
That kid is a total pos! He tormented ppl, even on pre trial release! Gross!
What a senseless tragedy. The kid is a punk and a smartass who started from the beginning. He will face a much greater judge someday for his part.
That police dept and his online followers ALL played a huge part in this.
Social media exploitation has gotten so out of hand... this positing each other of their faults, looks, mistakes, etc., just to get views and likes, has got to stop!
This is what happens when police an unwilling or unable to do their jobs properly.
Police department in that city need to be investigated
