Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison confirmed that a man from the city killed his ex-wife and his ex-girlfriend then turned the gun on himself.

The social media world was extremely disturbed by the double murder-suicide on Sunday, December 12, having seen the suspect explain his intentions during a Facebook live, which was then shared thousands of times worldwide.

According to law enforcement statements, the suspect forced his way into a Federal Hill home, shot his ex-girlfriend then travelled to Columbia to shoot his ex-wife then killed himself.

Between killings, the suspect took to Facebook Live outside of a Columbia apartment building, where he says he is angry about custody issues with both women.

“Anyway, I just did something crazy, man. I just shot my ex-girlfriend in the head,” he stated. “Felt like a dream. I never thought I would be that guy. I can’t go to prison, so the person that really started my depression and all of this is my ex-wife. So, she next. Then I’m going to do myself too.”

Authorities said they were not identifying the victims or the suspect until they were able to reach the next of kin.
