When a documentary starts with “she was a great girl ...” you know it’s going to be a sad ending.
I know from these documentaries to NEVER be the life of the party and NEVER have a smile that can light up a room. You will be killed.
not always
Its unbelievable sad and ridiculous for that girl's boyfriend to become aggressively spoke to her like that. His parents and grandparents never raise him in this way.
or a fraudulent one....wake up!
Or if the victim “had a smile that could light up the room” 😐
Death threats should be taken seriously. Nobody with a good mental health and with a noble kind character would ever threaten somebody else.
JESUSELCAMINOALPADRE in VA they take it serious, especially if you are a minor
Yes, very good. However it is important with all those red flags, to report to police, how about Riley’s parents?
It cannot be taken seriously if is not known to others.
You are right!
I know this is gonna sound horrible. But some people are joking when they say am gonna kill you.
yea...…….. u must not have ever been a teenager let alone in a group of friends that are close and lost ur temper with one. u think u wouldn't or haven't said something like that but if someone took u serious everytime u said some stupid shit u would be in prison
“she could do the worm” this is the cutest little video ever i wanna be friends with her

I hope you’re kidding

This is NOT her fault. This was a toxic relationship and should be taken as a red flag for girls.
Stop victim blaming! It was HIS fault, not hers!

Black MEGriffin holy crap you’re psycho !
Black MEGriffin people like you keep the hatred and racism alive. It’s pathetic when you play the Slave card! You were never a slave or treated like that and your ancestors would slap you for your behavior. They would be grateful for having the opportunities you have but instead of trying to do some good you’d rather keep playing the poor oppressed victim and hold your race back. Grow the fk up or stfu!
@@blackmegriffin9240 How is this murder related to back people's oppression? It must be that I don't live in the US anymore, bc I don't get it.
ladies and gents if your significant other ever tells you what you can and can’t do or wear... drop them.
dolan twins stan truth. Control is not love, and it doesn’t matter what gender you are, if your partner is this obsessive and controlling, then the relationship is not healthy
@@franceskubiak9838 "control is not love " do you have parents?
Charles Igboeli yes, I do.... I don’t see what that has to do with this though? Parents are there for guidance and discipline. Pure control is not healthy and fails to consider that the child is a human with free will. Control suppresses free will until rebellion occurs. Guidance and discipline shape free will in ways that make the child a valuable member of society. Big difference, in my experience
@dolan twins stan well it still would’ve been too late . She dropped him and look what tf happen.
Hell the fuck o 🙏🏾
coming from a 22 year old female, to the parents in the comment section who are somehow missing the fact that she was senselessly murdered and criticizing her parents for allowing her to date... do you all WHOLEHEARTEDLY believe that as teenagers we wouldn’t find a way to “date”? the more rules you set up, the more closed off we are. now you have no idea what we’re actually doing
Well said 👏👏👏👏
mariimar exactly 🙏🏻 i can’t tell you how many things i did that my parents still don’t know
THANK YOU
I did some insane stuff my parents never knew about. They tried to put rules and I got a lot more clever.
mariimar I always obeyed my parents. Never did anything I wasn’t supposed to
Whe you hear your daughter’s BF if criticizing her clothes and separating her from friends. ITS DANGEROUS! Been there...
True that means he's overpossesive
Jody Nerhood Edwards Same!!! Soooo sad, such an amazing awesome young girl who was senselessly a victim. I had a controlling,abusive boyfriend much like this guy at 15. There’s no mistaking it for me, I was so lucky to get away in time.
Nest Of Free Birds I am so glad you saw him for exactly what he was so many girls don’t see it or they choose not to see it. I have also heard this one he does all this because he loves me.I think the old saying I use to hear was LOVE IS BLIND THAT JUST MIGHT APPLY HERE.I just wanted to tell you I am proud of for getting away from him. Feel sorry for the next girl. You just might read about one day, Hey you never no i hope it’s not about some girl he Beat up. Or killed you almost want to warn them but don’t you don’t need him anywhere near you girl.I say this with a heavy heart my best friend did exactly that. And he hid out side her home and beat her so bad. She was in the hospital for 5 Days. He got 3 years in prison. He gets out in two months she is scared to death. So scared she moving to the Beach.I don’t really blame her I would to. He is a big and very mean monster, so you please never do that girl. Thank you letting me talk to you and again your kind words to her, 🙋🏼♀️👍🏼🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
Feminism destroyed the West
lmao BeEn ThErE BeFoRe
My brother was in her class; they spoke about her at his graduation ceremony. Though her tragic death was about 2 years ago, they still release purple balloons every so many football games at Central and purple hearts can be seen all around the area. I truly don't think she can ever be forgotten. R.I.P. EJW
As someone who was not allowed to date in high school with very strict and controlling parents, you cannot and will not stop your daughter from dating. The more you control, the more they will resent you, and keep secrets from you. All that will happen is that you’ll have a strained relationship with your children. They’ll go behind your back and you’ll be clueless.
At the people that are blaming the parents: It was not the parent’s fault and shame on you for thinking so ignorantly. The guy is at fault, period.
True
What you wrote in your comment Amy- has absolutely nothing to do with this story. Her parents weren't telling her not to date her boyfriend, because they were being too strict. They were telling her not to date him, because they could clearly see, that he had some serious mental issues. He was totally controlling her and would go back and forth with bad words/nice words. Her parents were just trying to protect her, from the unstable boyfriend- now she is dead.
I'm sorry that your parents were so strict on you, but I do disagree with what you wrote about. "Girls will just date whoever they want to and parents can't do a darn thing about it". That is so totally uncool- because your parents just may have saved your life. You should heed their advice- rebellion usually leads to something bad!!
You are SO naive. Children only rebel when they're not respected, or when they're neglected. Strict parents whose motives are selfless, and who are well-adjusted and respectful are never rebelled against.
Agree

@@ShoumicDhar-mo9ei*was*. At sentencing he gained like 100 lbs. Hope he admits what he did and asks for forgiveness one day. He still insists he was 'trying to scare her' by shooting at her.
I had a boyfriend like this in high school too, he was cute and charming at first but he started getting really insecure once our senior year hit and everybody was leaving and going off to college. He threatened me and my family so many times, luckily my parents made me get a restraining order on him
You are lucky that it ended there. And most men are insecure narcissist
And why did you willingly choose to date such a horrible, vile person?
@The Joker we all are narcissistic, nothing it's black or white there are many shades, but yes men are arrogant and narcissistic the ones who lack of confidence are the biggest ones, and arrogance is not self confidence. I have come acrossed in my romantic live with a long string of fake men who misrepresent themselves as thoughtful and just good men. However, the mask comes off sometimes is quick, or after a while where I have invested myself the true colors come out. I truly have not met a good partner. I don't have expetations because everything its a give and take I am a flawed human being, who is self reflective and self aware of my flaws, shortcomings, just treat me like I treat you. And yes I dont think there are good truthful guys out there. I have been married, divorced and dated plenty but men have not disappointed in how predictable their thin varnish falls apart.
@The Joker Ty ✌
@@alexandraschuster9700
So you're childless now??
y’all are absolutely sick for blaming her for her death
@Siyovaxsh En-sipad-zid-ana There are plenty of teenage suicides... what are you talking about? It wasn’t unreasonable to think she would end her life but that was quickly ruled out after detectives found evidence indicating otherwise. When news first got out of her death of course that would be one of the possibilities.

I’m super tired of these psycho guys that want to slowly control their girlfriends. They chip away at their spirit, manipulate their minds and just don’t love them at all. To any girl out their experiencing this type of abuse get out and go love yourself first. They’re never worth it in the end.
These girls shouldn't play games with these guys....
It's not a case of playing games. The abuser (in my case a male, but can be female as well) manipulates the victim, telling them how special and perfect they are then turning around and calling them foul names; belittling the victim. It happens in such a way that the victim doesn't realise just how badly they are being treated. The abuser has a way of charming their way into lives and leaving it damaged. It's extremely difficult to understand why they wouldn't just leave, unless one has been in a relationship like this.
These men disgust me and give me anxiety and I hate them so much.
@@elsakristina2689 ....maybe u hate yourself....u got issues
Rashard Brown you are part of the problem, buddy. Get over your fragile masculinity ASAP
He killed this poor girl. It's not her parents fault and it's not his parents fault. This guy wasn't gonna allow this girl to be with anyone else. If he couldn't have her he was gonna make sure no one else did.
And the sick posts I've seen that girls say I'm hotter I'm sure her parents n she would like to trade places with you.

@@andrewdahlquist7869 Can you adopt me?

Ignorant.
@@save_bandit thank you.
People somehow in their genius brains, think people like this are just random. NO, its parenting. 100%
I was in a similar relationship at 20-21. I'm glad I was old enough to recognize the signs, but I stayed longer than I should have. Always upset with me for being out too late, out with certain friends, accusing me of cheating, judging what I wore but asking me to dress inappropriately for certain events, always saying the most awful things when we argued and then returning and saying he loved me and wanted to start a family. I ended it when I told him he was suffocating me and he responded with "You should suffocate yourself. The world would be better off." I feel so bad for the women and young girls who don't know how to get out of those relationships. Men also experience this abuse too. I hope can provide my children with the tools they need to recognize unhealthy relationships and leave them behind.
She was so pretty😩😭
Everyone’s so focused on the age of the couple... regardless of age and people thinking they shouldn’t date that doesn’t excuse the horrifying thing he did
Asia Maarie Well obviously what he did was terrible, but she was way to young to be dating. And sadly, if she wasn’t dating at such a young age, she may still be here. The parents are to blame in a way because they are allowed to make the rules, and they are the ones who allowed her to date at 14.
Y’all are dumb asf the video said she was 14 in 2014
wait...what did he do?
@@smc4600 Anybody can get killed by another person when they date, regardless of age. Was she supposed to anticipate she'd get murdered by someone of the same age? Young people of her age rarely murder others, so why should she be taking some blame? If anything, if she dated when she was older, older men would be more likely to kill her than a boy that young.
Y O I N K Yea, ok. So that makes it ok for her to date at 14 because “kids do not normally kill other kids?” Pfff. Maybe do some parenting. 14 year olds are not mature enough to date. Unfortunately part of the blame is on the parents whether you want to believe it or not.
Why does our society never hold the men accountable for being possessive, aggressive, and awful? Riley did this. Not her parents and not Emma.
@Cory Templar In reality, where excuses are made, money is paid and lads get their way. If society (not the judicial system) held males accountable for their aggressive actions, there would be a hell of a lot less domestic violence and sexual assault crimes committed.
Society does actually.I have no idea why you think that .
@@tayajaneway4628 That is because people are not thought proper morale standards since they are a child.Parents are big reason for why there are male abusers .
They get often abused as a child or just had bad examples .Or they are just mentally ill
They do tho...
What about the manipulative, fake loving women? They can do what they want and are punishment free for the most part
This guy was crazy.....Everyone saw it & no one get them help......

They were jealous she was with him, and his friends envy him.
I feel so sorry for that lively girl and her family She was beautiful cheerful and precious. Rest in Peace Emma Walker
Why would they use THAT thumbnail picture, so disrespectful. And no, I do not agree with all of the “this is why young girls shouldn’t be dating” comments. Do NOT downplay the actions that the young man committed.
Mayra Guerrero 14 is to young to date. At that age your focus should be something else. Your mentality at 14 is almost slim to none. Now, I’m not saying he shouldn’t be held accountable for his actions but as a mother I personally feel like my 14 year old will not be dating. Let’s focus more on Your education, let’s look into colleges. Keep these kids minds busy.
Della Nikolee i know plenty of 14 year olds that didn’t die when dating someone the same age, including myself, but okay.
Mayra Guerrero I dated at 11
What's wrong with the thumbnail pic?
GMA Suga he fucking MURDERED HER??????????
I was in a relationship like this for two years.. almost died twice because of it. I’ll be forever grateful I got out when I did

I'm wondering how this murderer is still portrayed as a overachieveing athlete
They are both true. It helps people understand how her parents first allowed them to see each other. But had it been my child and I saw all those red flags, I would have had a formal meeting at the school and have him threatened with expulsion from the football team because usually they have to keep a certain GPA and adhere to a decent code of conduct then I would have gotten a restraining order so he could not go to her work, text message her, call her, or talk with her at school. If necessary I would pull her out of school for online learning, maybe let her go to home room class so she could continue to cheer.
But I don't blame the parents at all teenagers are alot of drama and I agree with the mom the more you tell them "no" the more they want to do something.

I was in this relationship for 3 years and things escalated to the point where he wanted to kill me and tried. This hit me hard.

R.I.P. Emma
We will all miss you and love you even though some of us didnt get to meet you❤❤❤❤
When you break up, you just break up! Move on! It's pretty simple.
I'm personally against setting dating age-limits, because I believe that the more you date, the more you'll learn what you personally like/don't like in a significant other, which will come in handy when you're looking for your husband/wife later in life.
ur dumb
When a damn near adult is dating a 14 year old that’s an issue maturity is the big thing
Or you could be easily manipulated by your partner and scarred for life, i don’t think that 6 year old should be making out, common sense
Sam Alfonzo I don’t think he means that 🤦🏽♂️smh and seniors date freshmen all the time even girls date freshen guys it just happens
Or... Refraining from dating gives you time to figure others and yourself out while eventually letting something fall into place naturally
she will never be forgotten 💜 we miss her everyday.😓
to all you "know it all" parents in the comment section i hope you know by telling your kids they can't date you're not going to stop them from dating, if anything they'll want to do it even more. and also when they do end up dating, they're going to hide it from you and be scared to tell you anything.. stop telling your kids not to engage in completely normal behaviors for someone their age, sheesh.
@Angelisa Hassan i never said it was "hard to wait" all i said was exclusively not allowing your children to do something that's fairly normal for their age is only going to cause backlash
@Angelisa Hassan also how different of a person were you from age 15 to age 16? not at all probably so i don't see the point
OMG- what a horrible comment B B & Beyond! But ya- I guess you are right though. She continued to date her boyfriend even though her parents strongly advised her not to. Now let's see- where is she today? Oh ya- she's deader than a doornail & 6 feet under in a cemetery!! But hey- she really showed her parents who's boss!! Just maybe teens shouldn't always rebel against their parents. It might just save their life!!!
If I was her dad, I would have sat that boy down and had a "talk" with him. He never would have said 2 words to my daughter after that. Guaranteed!
Ali D of course because he would be dead 😂😂😂
Ali D more like dead no words needed
After "You're dead to me. I'll check the obituary," they should've gone to his parents and the school, and maybe the police. He was clearly becoming unstable and dangerous.
So I guess you figure you'd just scare him off?? Well,it seems he was just as psycho as you think you are.This dude was off his rockers.Some old man's threats would not have phased him,he was probably capable of killing the whole family.
Yeah, right.
I’m currently in a high school relationship. When I watch this, it was absolutely heartbreaking
All those videos of her dancing are so cute. It just makes me even more sad how funny and joyful she was...It really makes the victim feel more like yourself and hits deeper. I would've loved to be her friend
5' 4" is not short for a freshman girl.
Not that that's important
It’s already a “red flag” when he became possessive !
He is a classic narcissist !
Woo her intensely , manipulate her , do the cold/ hot : push / pull effect ... verbal & emotional abuse to follow suit.
Demons of rejection , rage , violence ( from too much gaming ) as it’s mind altering , anger , jealousy , Jezebel ( the whole works ) over took him & he killed Emma !
Parents / Friends / Colleagues: if any of you Encounter such behaviour from a “person” being treated as above ...
*PLEASE* : report / advice your friend to stay from narcissistic personalities!
jose rubious : No I am *Not* a doctor. But I observe & read enough articles & also read the Bible to know enough ( especially “Book of Proverbs”.)
So for men : deal with either your rejection or rebellion or *Both* !
Or else rejection : will take you to a path of depression / despair / self pity / anger / resentment / unforgiveness/ suicide etc...
Or rebellion will take you to a path of : witchcraft 👿/ addiction to drugs☠️ & alcohol 🍷 🍺 / sexual perversion & defilement / violence / hate / murder / anger !
Tsunshine gal and he was a low level narc at that. Couldn’t control his impulses.
Danni Sapp : Most narcissists have “Jezebel spirit “: which is a manipulative / controlling / deceptive / and murderous attitude : when push to the limit !
FYI only ....
SJR mars : I never ever said all men are pigs. It’s your inference !
I am not a feminist Nor a liberal !
But why is my comments or peoples asking me : any importance for you to even comment or criticise ???
lol
Senpais favorite : your assumption is way off !
I am not lonely... and I am not a 60
Year old woman.
I am a woman, not a “women” !
I said “too much gaming” , and not “from to much gaming”.
Gaming in itself is not wrong. But obsessive & compulsive gaming to the extreme does alter the axons & dendrites of the Brain 🧠.
Perhaps you aren’t aware...
Many of the high school shooters game a lot of violent shooting games !
Check it out for yourself & through clinical medical studies !
Watch the classic movie not the new one it’s called “no one would tell”
Jay Garner one of the saddest movies
Jay Garner That movie was horrifying.
Wasn't Candice Cameron (DJ) in that Movie?
Brandy Lee Yes, with Fred Savage.
Yessssss! I remember that movie!!! It was so sad!
Similar to the Lifetime movie: No One Would Tell (base on a true event)
Teen love, can be blissful and also dangerous. Teen love are filled with this inexplicable passion. Condolences to the family. Tragic.

They said Knoxville is deep in the bible belt, is that what they think? I've lived here my whole life, and there is alot of crap that goes on that doesn't get news coverage. I was also a central high student, and the school doesn't do much to protect the kids. So, don't let that bible belt remark and wholesome vibe they try to put out fool you.
Lacey Humphrey Bible Belt where football is a religion song.
Toxic is everywhere
Exactly.
Lacey Humphrey Tbh I think that “Bible belt” is a negative term at this point. I’m in Atlanta & I’ve lived in the Bible Belt since I was a kid and no one uses it positively, even people who live here.
They also said Knoxville is "rural" and it's definitely not. It's not some small,rural, hick community. If they want to find a rural area of Tennessee, they could go up the road to Strawberry Plains. Knoxville is a pretty normal area and it's a very popular place for people to move into from other states.
Awwwwww, Emma’s parents really taught her to always believe in herself.
I hate innocent lives being taken away😔 rest in peace Emma😔 you'll be forever missed..😕❤
This is the type of man that you need to leave with courage and involve your parents
Been in a relationship like this when I was 17. He was 23. He was also a football player, not that that has anything to do with it really lol. Very controlling and manipulative. Got mad at me any time I accidentally mentioned anything relating to my age or being in high school while we were out on dates. Also wouldn’t listen when I told him to stop and would most often perform sexual acts upon me through restraint and force. When you’re in these kinds of relationships, the emotional manipulations can make it very difficult to see clearly and put you in a state of denial. Very sorry for the parents of this girl that they lost her at such a young age. Truly a tragedy.
You're talking to people about these events of where he sexually abused you here in the comment section. Have you reported this sexual abuse to the authorities or talked about it to anyone in power?
I'm sorry you went through this. I don't know if this has ever been pointed out to you before but, from what you have described, that is sexual assault and it is both not okay and not normal. You deserve respect. Period. F*** anyone else who says otherwise.
Don't jump into a relationship so fast especially young people... Get to know one another as friends... See what they are like with other people.
Gosh I remember this story dropping in my local paper, were not even that close to Knoxville. Around 3 hours, it just shook this whole state. The way her parents are blamed is sickening, if she wanted to date him she was gonna find a way regardless and we all know that.
I cannot stand drama! I had one of those. A very insecure man! Always having to have his ego stroked. Didn't last long. The first time he called me a name? I'd dump him.
This isn't drama. This is outright abuse, but good for you for not putting up with someone cutting you down!
Lmao then u must be grateful ass hell u don't go to the norristown high cause there's a LOOT of drama over there lmao 🤣😂😆💀
Such a shame man, Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and warn them on what was going to happen.
How I wish I had the same power too. To save Emma. 😔
I watched this a million times... such a sad story. This little girl was terrorized. I just don't get how he could be so obsessed like that to the point of death. It's awful and my heart goes out to her family. 💗💙💞💙💗
I don't know how the parents can be smiling and seemingly cheerful through this.
Rather than insisting young girls shouldn't be allowed to date, there should be an effort to educate our kids about dating and relationships. They need to know what constitutes an unhealthy relationship. Everyone should be taught to identify unacceptable behavior and put a stop to toxic relationships.
So sad. So many red flags had this relationship. Peace to both families
I love how they say he was the perfect teenager and yet show a picture of him racing at walmart on a electric wheelchair scooter))) So he was such a pure child of god that he took a scooter from someone who needed it amen

Its important to choose wisely and honestly the one to date and to spend the rest of your life....your choose is what's make tomorrow.
"If I can't have her, no one can"
They were perfect high school couple. Football player and cheerleader. What a shame! RIP. Sweet Emma.
It's better to wait for the true soulmate than to end up in toxic relationships.
"she could do the worm" legendary.
You got to look for early signs of a sociopath/psychopath.
She had the prettiest smile. it’s always the good people. thoughts and prayers, Walkers❤️❤️❤️
it's always the hot chicks.
If i was her friend there be some fighting and black eyes 🥊🥊

I can’t believe this was where I live 🥺..
Be careful... sounds like there's some crazies in your neck of the woods.
No one:
Emma's friend who was supposed to describe her personality : "She could do the worm"
Weird flex but okay
Who is here after watch it in tiktok?
Me. And I was so intrigued about what actually happened. How can he do that to her? 😭🤧 Are you Filipino too?
If she was alive she would have been in her early twenties
she was 14. Imagine that happening at 14.
I wish this was a typical high school story where she dates an older boy and he breaks her heart. I wish it didn’t have to end as he being obsessed and killing her 💔. Rip baby girl 💜
So very sad! I know of 4 different women/girls who have guys acting like this with them. They won't listen to anyone. I fear for them. I can only helplessly watch the train wreck in slow motion. I see the guys isolating them from their friends. It's heartbreaking.
she looks like “the innocent popular kid in school whom you can always approach with cuz she’s too nice and perfect “
Why all the blame to these parents who just lost their child? She was young, sure. But that’s not the reason she died. She dated a crazy person. Normal guys don’t say stuff like that to their girlfriends. Even if the parents said no to them dating... they were teenagers. They’d find their own ways of seeing each other. It’s an unfortunate situation.
As long as having gf /bf stays an obsession this can't stop. A guy calling you bitch is to avoid at all costs.
I unsubscibed from ABC News channel on here for posting only part of the 20/20 episode like that. Not nice.
They do that all the fucking time. I don't get it.
wow, this happened close to where I live. I remember watching away football games at this stadium and even had a few friends go to same college as the boy. it’s crazy to see something like this happen so close to where you live , it really puts things into a new perspective. it’s so sad what happen to emma . my heart goes out to her friends and family.
They will always find a way we need to have these talks early on with our children
Am I the only one who thought it was Zoe Laverne by the thumbnail
Itsyahgurl 916 i did toooo
People start as good then start pushing little boundaries and when constantly forgiven they push higher boundaries. Manipulate , make a person feel guilty for shit for things they didn’t even do , made out to be the bad person.
So sad.
To all of the parents watching this.
It was not her fault, Emma saw the good in people she saw good in a guy who wasn’t good.
It was never her fault HE killed her, he shot her! She was in love with him! It wasn’t her fault.
Preach that. It was his fault and his fault alone.
may she rest in peace. im so sorry for her parents , they tried everything to protect her ...
Men were a mistake. The fact that we women have to live in constant fear of being attacked or murdered by a partner is appalling.

Red flag: Mother says “we’re the decision makers about that,” in regards to her boyfriend telling her what to wear. I guess they forgot that she’s an autonomous person who can decide for herself what to wear?
14 is really young to date
Now many teens are dating at 12 or even younger. I'm not saying its right,but thats how it is in these days.
I know right. If that was my kid I would be like heck no! No dating till you graduate from college. I don’t know why some parents let their kids date do young. They are kids still.
dating young isn't a bad thing. I had my first boyfriend at 14. I actually learned a lot from it. before that I had a "boyfriend" in 3rd grade. the usual 3rd grade teasing each other and taking each others stuff. It's not like all 14 year olds are having sex, it's just dating. you care about them, talk to them, hug, kiss, and go on little dates.
Agreed. I didn't start seriously dating until I was 18 and now nearly 3 years later that person's going to be my husband soon (3 more years).
Pssh its normal thanks to my dad being weird like that im now a 30 year old single while all my friends are married or about to be married
I finished watching the 20/20. The story is so sad because Emma seemed like the girl who was happy and had a bright future ahead of her. If she was alive today, she would have been a cheerleader at Tennessee or any other university what so ever. I hope Emma's story serves as a wake up call to those who are in a relationship where there is no way out. My heart goes out to her family and friends.
"I love you more than words can describe" yeah fucking right.
You can't trust no one🤦🏽♀️
She is absolutely gorgious if she were my girlfriend i would never disrespect her, she doesnt deserve that.
2:30 okay... I can already tell they will mix his love for 'video games' with his aggression. Why dont they show footage of him playing Maddan, NFL, NBA, Fifa, why just the shooter mate??
Because COD was the game he and his friends played the most. It was his favorite game. This comes up at trial multiple times after the defense claims Riley had no idea the bullets would penetrate Emma’s wall. The night he was arrested, he and his friends planned to play COD.
Stop assuming things. Your intuition is not at the level where you think it is.
WTF??? That text about reading her obituary...HELL NO. I would've called the cops & forbid my daughter to see him. That should've been taken more seriously.
Never let a man treat you ladies badly you all re beautiful
