A father accused of fatally shooting his 22-year-old son later confessed to the murder over Ring doorbell footage.
David De Jesus Contreras, 52, shot his son Eric Contreras in the head last November in Pinecrest, Miami-Dade County.
In the aftermath of the shocking violence, Contreras spoke to his wife via the doorbell outside the property before he was arrested.
‘Is he alive? Is he breathing?’ his wife asked.
‘He’s not breathing. He is dead. The fighting on the way home was unbearable, we came here and it was second to second,” Contreras said through tears.

The father and son argued about Eric’s social plans before the father shot his son.
Minutes later, police arrived at the property and the officer’s bodycam footage captured a second confession.
“I just shot my son,” Contreras wails as armed police approach him in the driveway.
“Walk right in, he’s right there, ten feet in,” Contreras tells the officers as he kneels on the ground.
Officers arrested the father and took him to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where he was held without bond.
Contreras appeared in court last November for his arraignment hearing before Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Daryl Trawick at the Richard E. Gerstein Justice Building in Allapattah.
