- 2:06Speaker 3: and Stevie Wonder after police shoot him. Following a gruesome
- 2:10Speaker 3: double murder in a quiet mobile home community. Officers from
- 2:13Speaker 3: Orange County Sheriffs responded to a distressing nine to one
- 2:17Speaker 3: one call in San Juan Capistrano. The caller, a relative
- 2:20Speaker 3: of the victims, reported receiving disturbing photos of her elderly
- 2:24Speaker 3: aunt and uncle covered in blood. When deputies arrived at
- 2:27Speaker 3: the San Juan mobil estates, they were confronted with a
- 2:30Speaker 3: grisly scene. Inside the mobile home, they discovered the decapitated
- 2:34Speaker 3: bodies of seventy seven year old Ronald Gerdville and seventy
- 2:38Speaker 3: nine year old Antoinette Gerdville, along with their mutilated dog.
- 2:42Speaker 3: One of their heads is brazenly placed on the kitchen counter.
- 2:46Speaker 3: The suspect, forty one year old Joseph Gerdville, is the
- 2:49Speaker 3: son of the slain couple. Witnesses reports seeing him acting
- 2:52Speaker 3: erratically earlier that morning, after allegedly attacking a maintenance worker
- 2:56Speaker 3: with a fork. He stole the worker's golf cart and
- 2:59Speaker 3: sped off. Deputies soon spotted him, covered in blood, driving
- 3:03Speaker 3: the stolen cart near a bike path. They attempted to
- 3:05Speaker 3: arrest him, but he became aggressive, throwing a heavy shovel
- 3:08Speaker 3: at them. He ignored their repeated commands to stop and
- 3:12Speaker 3: charged at the officers, and they had no choice but
- 3:14Speaker 3: to open fire. That's when the show starts. We got
- 3:19Speaker 3: another one by the groin. That's body camera footage capturing
- 3:27Speaker 3: the intense encounter. The deputies fired five shots at Gerdville
- 3:31Speaker 3: as he walked toward them. The first three bullets seemed
- 3:33Speaker 3: to have no effect, but the fourth brought him down.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Blood poured from his wounds as he collapsed to the ground.
- 3:39Speaker 3: Despite his injuries, Gerdville's behavior remained bizarre. As the officer
- 3:43Speaker 3: surrounded him, he said, quote, I love you. I'm sorry
- 3:46Speaker 3: you're going to have to die, and then he pleaded, quote,
- 3:49Speaker 3: just finish me off. Put one in my head, please,
- 3:51Speaker 3: I beg of you. Once he was done, singing Tina Turner,
- 3:54Speaker 3: he shifted to Stevie Wonders. I just called to say
- 3:57Speaker 3: I love you, singing softly as the officers worked to
- 4:00Speaker 3: stabilize him. Paramedics soon arrived and rushed Guardwill to a
- 4:03Speaker 3: nearby hospital, where he was treated for his injuries and
- 4:06Speaker 3: later stabilized. He was in charge with two counts of
- 4:08Speaker 3: homicide for the brutal slayings of his parents. The motive
- 4:11Speaker 3: for the killing remains unclear, but neighbors described Gerdviille as
- 4:14Speaker 3: having a troubled history. One neighbor recalls seeing him argue
- 4:18Speaker 3: with his father the day before the murders, appearing angry
- 4:21Speaker 3: and agitated. Another suggests Gerdville has a drug problem, which
- 4:24Speaker 3: may have contributed to his violent actions.
