Dramatic Ringcam Captures The Moment This Dad Confessed To Killing His 21-Year-Old Son

Dramatic new police bodycam footage shows the moment a father accused of fatally shooting his 21-year-old son in Kendall back in November was arrested. David Contreras, 52, is facing a second-degree murder charge in the Nov. 3 killing of Eric Contreras at the family's home. The bodycam footage obtained by NBC6 Friday shows the moments after police arrived to the residence and officers with guns drawn asked Contreras to come out with his hands up. The video shows the father complied with police as he cried while being taken into custody. "I shot my son," Contreras told police while he sobbed. He then directed police to where in the home his son's body could be found. Before police arrived, Contreras was captured on a Ring doorbell video explaining the incident to his wife. Contreras appeared in court Thursday for a hearing as he seeks to be released on bond.

Thursday's court proceedings, known as an Arthur hearing, are similar to a small, expedient trial that could end up granting David Contreras bond. During the hearing, Contreras was seen crying and breaking down while listening to the 911 call he made after shooting his son in the head. "What did I do?" Contreras said in the call. "I was fighting with my son...I lost it, he wouldn't stop." Eric Contreras was described by his friends as a funny and loving college student, who often had fights with his parents. The friends said the family had been in Orlando for a Disney trip but said because of how Eric was acting, he and his dad came back to Kendall, a fight escalated and turned deadly. According to an arrest report, David Contreras shot his son multiple times "for unknown reasons" then called police and told them he'd shot his son.
