- 0:41Speaker 2: enough emphasis on that. We all remember the friends don't
- 0:44Speaker 2: let friends drive drunk campaign.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Right.
- 0:47Speaker 2: All that is essentially saying is friends don't let friends
- 0:50Speaker 2: and make poor decisions. Friends don't let friends make poor choices.

- 0:57Speaker 2: I want friends that love me enough to say, no, oh,

- 1:02Speaker 2: if he's gonna get us killed or locked up, and
- 1:05Speaker 2: that's exactly what needed to happen in this situation. See,
- 1:07Speaker 2: Fernando was seventeen and he was dating a young girl.
- 1:11Speaker 2: The news report says a minor. So he's seventeen, so
- 1:14Speaker 2: who knows how old the young girl was fifteen sixteen,
- 1:17Speaker 2: But that was Booth, that was his cinnamon apple. And
- 1:19Speaker 2: he found out that she was cheating on him, so
- 1:22Speaker 2: he went and got his friend Christopher, and well, if
- 1:25Speaker 2: you want to know what happened next, let's go to
- 1:27Speaker 2: ABC thirteen I Winnes News for the report.
- 1:29Speaker 3: Please Christopher Portillo Luna smiled for the camera and refused
- 1:33Speaker 3: to sign his bond conditions. The seventeen year old joining
- 1:37Speaker 3: Fernando Amaya behind bars, both accused in the murder of
- 1:42Speaker 3: Marco's Cato Torres Torres, who was shot to death last week.
- 1:47Speaker 3: The target court record stated, in a love triangle involving
- 1:51Speaker 3: Amaya and his teenaged girlfriend, gunfire erupted at the complex
- 1:56Speaker 3: on Cook Road on March eighteenth. It was one am.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Tours was found dead outside his apartment where today chunks
- 2:04Speaker 3: of the wall are missing. According to quote records, Amaya
- 2:08Speaker 3: and Luna used an AK style rifle, firing eighty four
- 2:12Speaker 3: rounds at apartment two twenty seven, also injuring his roommate inside.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Prosecutors revealing a motive. Amaya, it reads quote, threatened to
- 2:24Speaker 3: kill himself and as juvenile girlfriend for cheating on him
- 2:28Speaker 3: with the male who he later murdered. ABC thirteen reached
- 2:33Speaker 3: the victim's sister, who was unaware of any relationship. She
- 2:37Speaker 3: said her forty one year old brother is innocent and
- 2:40Speaker 3: did not have a social life.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Now, seventeen year old young man shoots up in an
- 2:46Speaker 2: apartment because his girlfriend was cheating on him.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Ain't no love triangle amongst teenagers. Okay, y'all don't even
- 2:52Speaker 1: know what love is.
- 2:53Speaker 2: And I'm looking at this other article from Law on
- 2:55Speaker 2: Crime and it says that he actually killed the wrong man, right,
- 3:00Speaker 2: So it's so many teachable moments in this situation. I'm
- 3:03Speaker 2: just gonna say some things I thought about when I
- 3:05Speaker 2: first heard this story. Number One, why the hell does
- 3:08Speaker 2: a seventeen year old have access to an AK style rifle?
- 3:12Speaker 1: Investigators found eighty four.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Spent shell casings. Why where did he get this kind
- 3:17Speaker 2: of weapon? Okay, I'm all for young people learning how
- 3:20Speaker 2: to properly use a firear. But Jesus Christ, at seventeen,
- 3:24Speaker 2: if you want to use those kinds of weapons, then
- 3:26Speaker 2: you need to be joining the armed forces. Second seventeen
- 3:29Speaker 2: year old crashing out over your little girlfriend. You know
- 3:31Speaker 2: what my dad told me When I was that age
- 3:33Speaker 2: and I wanted to crash out over my little girlfriend,
- 3:35Speaker 2: my dad said, and I quote, you got your nose
- 3:37Speaker 2: open over that girl, and she got here sleeping with
- 3:39Speaker 2: you and probably every other man in Mouth's corner. That's
- 3:41Speaker 2: my hometown by the way. Now he was exaggerating, of course,
- 3:43Speaker 2: but what he was simply telling me was that little girlfriend,
- 3:46Speaker 2: not yours. You seventeen, you know how many more women
- 3:49Speaker 2: you gonna meet in your life, Fernando.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Do you know how many other women would have been
- 3:52Speaker 1: out there for you to meet?
- 3:53Speaker 2: But thank God, these women won't ever get to meet
- 3:57Speaker 2: you because you needed help long before this situation.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Now, I don't know, Fernando.
- 4:01Speaker 2: He's only seventeen, so it's not a long resume there.
- 4:04Speaker 2: But there has to be some type of behavioral pattern
- 4:07Speaker 2: that we can look to that show us why he
- 4:09Speaker 2: thought it was okay to pull up with an ak
- 4:11Speaker 2: style rifle and let off damn near one hundred rounds
- 4:14Speaker 2: into an apartment because he wanted to kill whoever his
- 4:18Speaker 2: young girlfriend was cheating with, allegedly.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Now, the last thing that came to mind was Christopher
- 4:24Speaker 1: his friend.
- 4:25Speaker 2: My brothers, you have to tell your stupid ass, crash
- 4:29Speaker 2: out friend, no, let that man go throw his life
- 4:33Speaker 2: away by his damn self. In fact, I'll go a
- 4:35Speaker 2: step further, and I want every young person to feel
- 4:38Speaker 2: me when I say this. When you know your soul
- 4:40Speaker 2: called friend is about to go do something that is
- 4:42Speaker 2: going to, you know.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Be stupid, you have to tell on them. I'm serious.
- 4:48Speaker 2: You absolutely positively have to go telling a doubt all right,
- 4:50Speaker 2: Fernando Christopher.
- 4:52Speaker 1: You know when Christopher, well yeah, Christopher.
- 4:56Speaker 2: When Fernando came to you and said he wants to
- 4:58Speaker 2: go kill the man and you know his girlfriend cheating with,
- 5:02Speaker 2: You know, Fernando told his girlfriend that he was gonna
- 5:04Speaker 2: shoot up the apartment and then kill himself. So if
- 5:06Speaker 2: he told his girlfriend that, then I know he told you.
- 5:08Speaker 2: You're supposed to tell your friend no, that's stupid. You're
- 5:12Speaker 2: going to go to prison for the rest of your life,
- 5:14Speaker 2: and you shouldn't be threatening no murder suicide at seventeen
- 5:17Speaker 2: years old.
- 5:17Speaker 1: There is so much life to live, too.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Many other fishing to see, to be caught, to be
- 5:21Speaker 2: crashing out like this at seventeen, and guess what, Christopher,
- 5:25Speaker 2: If you think it's too much for you.
- 5:26Speaker 1: To deal with, then tell an adult.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Kids, you don't have to bear any of this responsibility
- 5:32Speaker 2: from your dumb ass friends who want to make dumb
- 5:34Speaker 2: mass decisions.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Tell an adult. I'm forty six years old.
- 5:38Speaker 2: I made all those same dumb decisions when I was seventeen,
- 5:40Speaker 2: and I was around people making dumb decisions.
- 5:42Speaker 1: But this is what I wish, you know, I had
- 5:45Speaker 1: when I was that age.
- 5:46Speaker 2: I wish we had friends who would tell us no,
- 5:48Speaker 2: and friends who didn't care what we would think.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Okay, they would tell.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Adults on our dumb ass That's what I wish would
- 5:56Speaker 2: happen in this situation. You know how much I wouldn't
- 5:58Speaker 2: have gotten into if I had friends around me willing
- 6:01Speaker 2: to tell me no, that's dumb.
- 6:02Speaker 1: I'm not rolling with that.
- 6:03Speaker 2: And if I was hell been on doing some dirt myself,
- 6:06Speaker 2: they were tell an adult on me.
- 6:08Speaker 1: I wish, Okay.
- 6:10Speaker 2: I think about the movie Juice often and I understand
- 6:12Speaker 2: it's a movie, but if it was real life, somebody
- 6:15Speaker 2: and the cruise should have said, no, I'm not going
- 6:17Speaker 2: to rob old man Collis.
- 6:18Speaker 1: That's dumb. That was C. But Q buckled to the
- 6:20Speaker 1: pit pressure.
- 6:21Speaker 2: If Q hadn't buckled the pit pressure, I don't think
- 6:23Speaker 2: Still would have rolled either. But they did, and Bishop
- 6:26Speaker 2: ended up killing old man Couillis and then ended up
- 6:28Speaker 2: killing Raheem. At that moment, Q and Still were supposed
- 6:32Speaker 2: to start telling every adult they knew call the proper authorities. Okay, friends,
- 6:38Speaker 2: don't let friends crash out. Now, Fernando and Christopher are
- 6:42Speaker 2: both behind bars with bonds over one million dollars.
- 6:47Speaker 1: Okay, and guess what, Fernando, your booth.
- 6:51Speaker 2: That little girl who you just crashed out over, she
- 6:54Speaker 2: gonna be out here still living her life, Dayton, who
- 6:56Speaker 2: she wants to date? And you gonna be spending the
- 6:58Speaker 2: rest of your life in prison, Dayton, whoever other inmates
- 7:01Speaker 2: tell you todate.
- 7:02Speaker 1: The moral of the story is friends, Okay.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Real friends will discourage each other from engaging and reckless
- 7:08Speaker 2: or foolish behavior. Are from making poor decisions that could
- 7:10Speaker 2: lead the negative consequences, or to put it simply once again, friends,
- 7:14Speaker 2: don't let friends crash out. Please give Fernando Amaya and
- 7:18Speaker 2: Christopher Portillo the biggest he hub.
