=== Deadly Encounter Inside Home (14:09) ===

[00:00:00]  On December 10th, 2023, officers with the Youngstown Police Department in Ohio were dispatched to investigate a possible break-in.
[00:00:07]  A concerned mother reported someone inside her incarcerated son's home.
[00:00:11]  Officers arrived to speak with the individual inside and determine what was actually going on.
[00:00:15]  What follows is an eerie and deadly encounter.
[00:00:18]  Hello, officer.
[00:00:20]  My son lives at the house right there where that mess is that reflector sign.
[00:00:24]  And I saw a guy coming down his steps, black guy, bald, black coat, went to the back, and he just went back in with a rake or a broom in his hand.
[00:00:32]  He can't go through the back.
[00:00:33]  That's never good when a black guy's coming.
[00:00:35]  Because we nailed it shut.
[00:00:36]  He's got a break.
[00:00:37]  But he's got a rake.
[00:00:38]  He's going to work off.
[00:00:39]  It looks like it's a bad thing.
[00:00:39]  My son lives there.
[00:00:40]  He's in jail.
[00:00:41]  Okay.
[00:00:41]  So there's a guy in the house you don't know who he is.
[00:00:43]  No.
[00:00:43]  No, no.
[00:00:44]  Only me and two other people come and we've been cleaning.
[00:00:47]  Okay.
[00:00:47]  I'll go find out who he is.
[00:00:51]  Hey, how are you?
[00:00:53]  How you doing?
[00:00:53]  Not bad.
[00:00:54]  Hey, uh, whose house is this?
[00:00:56]  Uh, dude, that's his last name.
[00:01:01]  His name is Anthony.
[00:01:03]  Anthony.
[00:01:04]  Yeah.
[00:01:05]  Okay.
[00:01:06]  Is he here?
[00:01:07]  No, he's not here right now.
[00:01:08]  He should be back.
[00:01:10]  I think.
[00:01:11]  I think he might be in jail.
[00:01:12]  I don't know.
[00:01:13]  You think he might be in jail?
[00:01:14]  I think he might be in jail.
[00:01:16]  Okay.
[00:01:17]  You don't live here, though.
[00:01:18]  No.
[00:01:18]  You work for him?
[00:01:19]  Yeah.
[00:01:20]  Did he send you here to work for him?
[00:01:21]  Yeah.
[00:01:24]  Okay.
[00:01:25]  What are you doing for him?
[00:01:27]  Huh?
[00:01:28]  He's out there.
[00:01:29]  He's fixing drywall repairs.
[00:01:31]  Bathroom look coming and see.
[00:01:36]  I got plumbing to do.
[00:01:42]  You know his mother?
[00:01:45]  Yeah.
[00:01:45]  No, I don't know her.
[00:01:46]  I know him.
[00:01:47]  Wow.
[00:01:47]  She's down the street.
[00:01:48]  She came to check on the house and she basically called you in as a burglar.
[00:01:52]  Really?
[00:01:53]  You don't look like a burglar to me.
[00:01:59]  Looks like winning the moon.
[00:02:00]  I don't know where he's at.
[00:02:02]  Yeah, he's in jail.
[00:02:03]  Is he really?
[00:02:04]  Yeah.
[00:02:04]  Yeah, that's what she said.
[00:02:06]  So she's been like hauling up to the curve.
[00:02:08]  Oh, so you got plumbing or you got all this back here.
[00:02:11]  He's supposed to be paying.
[00:02:13]  Do you get paid up front?
[00:02:15]  He gave me what?
[00:02:16]  $400 plus $75, $470.
[00:02:20]  He gave me $35 on top of that.
[00:02:22]  Wow.
[00:02:23]  So, how long has he been in?
[00:02:25]  When's the last time you saw him?
[00:02:26]  I saw him about maybe a month ago.
[00:02:30]  Oh, okay.
[00:02:31]  He's supposed to get help and make it.
[00:02:33]  With this?
[00:02:33]  Or other stuff?
[00:02:35]  This breaks.
[00:02:39]  Yeah, I just want to go and fix it.
[00:02:41]  Yeah, I'm going to let her know.
[00:02:42]  She's right up the street.
[00:02:46]  And when's the last time she talked to us?
[00:02:48]  She's coming over right now.
[00:02:50]  That way, she knows you and you know her and all that.
[00:02:52]  And when's the last time you talked to your son?
[00:02:54]  Is he still in jail?
[00:02:56]  He's doing some work for your son.
[00:02:57]  What?
[00:02:58]  He's doing some work for your son.
[00:03:00]  Yeah, drywall repairs.
[00:03:01]  Who are you?
[00:03:02]  Rick.
[00:03:03]  Rick?
[00:03:05]  I don't know you.
[00:03:06]  Rick's drywall.
[00:03:07]  Huh?
[00:03:08]  Rick's at drywall.
[00:03:09]  He's actually working on the house in there.
[00:03:11]  Yeah.
[00:03:12]  Come again.
[00:03:12]  I'm hard to hear him.
[00:03:13]  He's working on the house.
[00:03:14]  Your son hired him.
[00:03:16]  My son hired you?
[00:03:17]  Yeah.
[00:03:17]  When did he hire you?
[00:03:18]  About a month ago.
[00:03:19]  Did he give you a key and everything?
[00:03:21]  Yeah.
[00:03:22]  Well, guess what?
[00:03:22]  We changed the locks.
[00:03:24]  I don't know.
[00:03:25]  You don't know?
[00:03:26]  I have the keys.
[00:03:27]  I was going to put that new lock snap on this one.
[00:03:30]  That's not true.
[00:03:31]  We just changed the locks.
[00:03:33]  Okay.
[00:03:33]  We put a brand new thing.
[00:03:34]  Somebody broke a window the other day, put their hands through there, and tripped the lock, got in, stole seven bikes.
[00:03:41]  Did you steal the bikes too?
[00:03:42]  I'm working.
[00:03:44]  I mean, do you see it?
[00:03:44]  I saw the change.
[00:03:46]  I was here yesterday.
[00:03:46]  That fence was not like that.
[00:03:48]  He's working on the house.
[00:03:49]  He's not working on the house.
[00:03:50]  I just got here this morning.
[00:03:52]  You see the drywall man?
[00:03:55]  Are you taking ownership of this house?
[00:03:57]  No, I'm just trying to help him for money.
[00:03:58]  He's paying you.
[00:04:00]  Does he know what he's saying in the jail?
[00:04:02]  Yes.
[00:04:02]  Your son paid it.
[00:04:04]  I'm going to do a good job.
[00:04:06]  No.
[00:04:07]  I don't know you from Adam.
[00:04:08]  Okay, well, if he's... I'll wrap up and be out of here.
[00:04:10]  As soon as you hear from him, please come.
[00:04:12]  I want to know how you got in the house if we just changed the lock on the door.
[00:04:16]  That just happened a few days ago.
[00:04:18]  No, he's lying.
[00:04:19]  I'm not lying.
[00:04:20]  Well, he's working over here, so I've never had a guy break into a house and work on it.
[00:04:24]  Okay.
[00:04:26]  Need to ask for that key.
[00:04:27]  Yeah, no, she keeps saying no, we changed the locks two days ago.
[00:04:31]  Look like the cop would check on that, right?
[00:04:32]  Right.
[00:04:32]  It's okay.
[00:04:33]  Hey, you got the key?
[00:04:35]  Show her you have the key.
[00:04:36]  Yeah.
[00:04:36]  That'd have been a okay.
[00:04:37]  Where's the key?
[00:04:38]  You got the key?
[00:04:39]  Hey, show her the key.
[00:04:40]  Yeah.
[00:04:40]  He's like, well, he says he's working on the house.
[00:04:43]  He's doing drywall.
[00:04:44]  Do you have a key for the house?
[00:04:45]  I'm just trying to help.
[00:04:46]  Do you have a key for the house?
[00:04:48]  Okay.
[00:04:48]  Why doesn't he tell his mother what you told him?
[00:04:50]  You shouldn't go to jail.
[00:04:52]  Well, yeah, that would help too.
[00:04:54]  Whole place is a freaking nightyard.
[00:04:55]  I mean, good luck.
[00:04:57]  I swear I had an individual key, though.
[00:04:59]  Did you have to do this to get in?
[00:05:01]  No.
[00:05:02]  I was already gone.
[00:05:03]  Oh, okay.
[00:05:04]  But you used the key to get in here today?
[00:05:06]  Yeah.
[00:05:10]  Hello.
[00:05:13]  I assume I was going to put this one on.
[00:05:15]  So I don't know if that's the key.
[00:05:17]  I mean, there's all these keys.
[00:05:19]  You don't know what key it is.
[00:05:22]  I mean, ask her if she wants to lock it up.
[00:05:24]  I mean, they have a key.
[00:05:25]  Well, here's the point.
[00:05:26]  I didn't do that.
[00:05:26]  If you came in here and you used the key.
[00:05:29]  It's here somewhere.
[00:05:30]  Okay.
[00:05:30]  I just can work it.
[00:05:31]  Okay.
[00:05:32]  I just didn't work it.
[00:05:33]  Well, if you have a key, it's here.
[00:05:35]  Stop right here.
[00:05:36]  I could have swore it was a loose key.
[00:05:38]  But if you didn't open the door to the key.
[00:05:39]  It's this one.
[00:05:42]  I promise you.
[00:05:42]  I used the key.
[00:05:43]  Listen, if you didn't, you need to tell me that, okay?
[00:05:45]  I promise you.
[00:05:46]  Because he could still have told you to go over there, just pop a window and work on the house.
[00:05:49]  He could have told you that.
[00:05:51]  No.
[00:05:51]  Okay.
[00:05:52]  Hey, I'm doing drywall work.
[00:05:54]  I didn't know that she was going to freak out like that.
[00:05:56]  I mean, who breaks into a house and works on it?
[00:05:59]  It doesn't even make sense.
[00:06:01]  I mean, you can see she doesn't know me, but her son does.
[00:06:04]  I mean, how did I know the last name?
[00:06:06]  I could have sworn it was.
[00:06:07]  It's nothing valuable in the house.
[00:06:08]  I don't see any furniture, no TVs, no nothing.
[00:06:10]  But she said a burglar broke in the house and stole some bicycles.
[00:06:14]  Yeah.
[00:06:14]  Yeah.
[00:06:15]  Hey, I remember.
[00:06:16]  Round blacks never relax.

[00:06:45]  I apologize.
[00:06:46]  I didn't know that she'd be stopping by.
[00:06:49]  So he's working or he's working.
[00:06:51]  All right, he's got a plumbing thing going on upstairs.
[00:06:53]  He's working on a plumbing.
[00:06:55]  He's like, yeah, the guy hired me to do it.
[00:06:57]  He gave me money.
[00:06:57]  I'm over here.
[00:06:58]  He's going to owe me money.
[00:07:00]  She's like, I don't know anything about it.
[00:07:03]  And she's talking to someone.
[00:07:05]  I have someone call her.
[00:07:06]  I thought it was a house down here because they said she's parked in front of the house.
[00:07:10]  It's over.
[00:07:11]  Yeah, she's like half a block up.
[00:07:12]  I'm like, well, she's slugging me down up there.
[00:07:14]  And I'm like, what the f ⁇ ?
[00:07:14]  She was like, yeah, he's down the street.
[00:07:16]  It's a guy.
[00:07:17]  He keeps coming in and out of the house with a broom.
[00:07:19]  He's got a plumbing job going up there.
[00:07:21]  He's cutting drywall out here to patch the hole in the wall, but he can't seem to find the key he has to get in here.
[00:07:27]  So he is a little screwy.
[00:07:29]  I give you my word.
[00:07:30]  He's here somewhere.
[00:07:32]  I promise you.
[00:07:33]  He's here.
[00:07:34]  It's a single key.
[00:07:35]  Well, Rick, in the meantime, you have some idea on you?
[00:07:38]  Because I'm going to have to.
[00:07:40]  Apparently, this is going to be a problem for me in one way or another.
[00:07:43]  I'm fine with that key.
[00:07:44]  Okay.
[00:07:44]  Hurry now.
[00:07:45]  She's not going to pay.
[00:07:47]  Well, she don't know who you are, so she sure isn't going to play.
[00:07:52]  Rick, you got no idea what you're talking about.
[00:07:54]  All right, what's your name?
[00:07:56]  Rick.
[00:07:57]  Yep.
[00:08:00]  Burk on it.
[00:08:02]  You gotta spell out for me.
[00:08:05]  B-U-R-K-I-E-M-E-R.
[00:08:10]  Your date of birth?
[00:08:11]  December 23rd, 1982.
[00:08:14]  You don't have a vehicle here?
[00:08:15]  No, no.
[00:08:16]  I'm girlfriend drive me off.
[00:08:17]  Oh, okay.
[00:08:18]  I'm just about my toes in.
[00:08:19]  Rick's drywall is your business?
[00:08:21]  Me, pretty much.
[00:08:21]  It's a startup.
[00:08:23]  Okay, I got you.
[00:08:26]  I got you.
[00:08:27]  You probably just started in there.
[00:08:29]  Let me just, you know, finish the bathroom.
[00:08:31]  Yeah.
[00:08:33]  She doesn't know who you are.
[00:08:34]  I assume she's talking to her son right now.
[00:08:36]  I'm going to go run this.
[00:08:37]  Let's see.
[00:08:37]  Can I show you the key that I have to that door?
[00:08:41]  Because I have the house key.
[00:08:43]  Okay.
[00:08:43]  And there's no way he could have owned that in the house.
[00:08:47]  He's in it.
[00:08:47]  When did you talk to him about doing his job?
[00:08:49]  About a month ago.
[00:08:50]  Okay.
[00:08:51]  He's working on pipes in the bathroom up by the bathtub.
[00:08:55]  It's a plumbing job.
[00:08:56]  I already have a plumber working on that.
[00:08:58]  He's doing the drywall.
[00:08:59]  But the plumbing gotta be done first before the drywall.
[00:09:02]  I'm telling you what I'm looking at.
[00:09:03]  I don't know.
[00:09:03]  He says he's working with your son, so I don't know.
[00:09:06]  Here what she said?
[00:09:06]  You gotta do the plumbing first before you do the drywall.
[00:09:09]  Yeah, this is figure out.
[00:09:11]  Yeah.
[00:09:11]  I'm gonna run him.
[00:09:13]  I'm gonna run him.
[00:09:14]  He was gonna be going to jail.
[00:09:16]  No, I did not.
[00:09:16]  Okay.
[00:09:17]  I mean, I thought he was in jail.
[00:09:18]  I heard he was, but I thought he was gonna get, you know, get bought out or whatever by now.
[00:09:22]  I got you.
[00:09:23]  I mean, nobody breaks in and fixes up a house, dude.
[00:09:26]  Well, no, not typically.
[00:09:28]  But you'll be surprised how many times we've actually been on calls like this with people.
[00:09:32]  They say they're working on houses and they're not.
[00:09:36]  So I'm not saying that you are.
[00:09:38]  I'm just saying.
[00:09:38]  I will say this.
[00:09:39]  Typically, if someone breaks in and they leave, they don't come back.
[00:09:43]  Yeah.
[00:09:44]  Where you live, bud?
[00:09:45]  Around the corner.
[00:09:46]  Okay.
[00:09:47]  You dropped your other key there.
[00:09:48]  Was that go to your house?
[00:09:49]  No, this is my key.
[00:09:51]  Okay.
[00:09:51]  This is one of the ones that I've got to do.
[00:09:52]  This dude's got all these keys on him.
[00:09:54]  This dude's a burglar.
[00:09:55]  So he talked to the owner of the house a month ago?
[00:09:58]  Yeah.
[00:09:59]  Maybe a little over a month ago.
[00:10:00]  Come do work on the house.
[00:10:02]  He's in jail.
[00:10:03]  That's his mom.
[00:10:04]  She doesn't know he says we don't any kind of work here or whatever.
[00:10:07]  We're just trying to confirm that that's what's going on.
[00:10:09]  So.
[00:10:09]  Whatchie have you doing?
[00:10:11]  Plumbing repair upstairs.
[00:10:13]  Is it inside of the house?
[00:10:14]  Is it eccentric?
[00:10:15]  Is he outside of the house?
[00:10:16]  You want to come see?
[00:10:18]  She's all the work she can get done on this house.
[00:10:21]  For her to throw me out.
[00:10:24]  So what are you staying here while you work?
[00:10:26]  No, I just gotta drop off the floor.
[00:10:30]  Your story is consistent.
[00:10:34]  Remember that.
[00:10:38]  What's your date of birth?
[00:10:40]  1223, 1982.
[00:10:42]  Mm-hmm.
[00:10:43]  That doesn't come back to anybody named Burkheimer.
[00:10:47]  So, I'm gonna try it again or...
[00:10:49]  Come here, that's what it is.
[00:10:53]  Okay.
[00:10:53]  You're inside somebody else's house.
[00:10:56]  You're giving me information that doesn't match to a person.
[00:10:58]  Do you understand where I'm coming from?
[00:11:00]  I don't know.
[00:11:00]  Okay.
[00:11:00]  Tell you what, turn around and grab the wall.
[00:11:03]  Turn around and grab the wall.
[00:11:05]  Come on.
[00:11:06]  I mean, what did I do?
[00:11:06]  Turn around and grab the wall.
[00:11:08]  For what?
[00:11:09]  I didn't do anything.
[00:11:10]  I came to work.
[00:11:11]  Like I said, turn around, grab the wall.
[00:11:14]  Grab the wall.
[00:11:16]  Back door.
[00:11:17]  Stop.
[00:11:18]  I have a donkey.
[00:11:21]  So do I.
[00:11:21]  I have a donkey.
[00:11:22]  Stop.
[00:11:27]  Code zero.
[00:11:29]  Stop.
[00:11:30]  You toss that gun on the ground right now.
[00:11:33]  I will f ⁇ ing ventilate your ass.
[00:11:35]  Toss that gun down.
[00:11:38]  No.
[00:11:39]  Toss it.
[00:11:40]  Toss the gun.
[00:11:44]  How is the cops wrong?
[00:11:46]  You run it from the cops and you tell the cops you gotta go.
[00:11:48]  How is the cops wrong?
[00:11:51]  It's like this whole stuff is just like crazy.
[00:12:05]  Rico?
[00:12:05]  Yes.
[00:12:07]  Do not f this up.
[00:12:08]  You understand me?
[00:12:09]  I don't care.
[00:12:10]  I understand you don't care.
[00:12:12]  I'm just trying to make some fing money.
[00:12:14]  My farm's just died.
[00:12:15]  Okay.
[00:12:16]  I'm not doing this anymore.
[00:12:17]  Alright.
[00:12:17]  The truth is I'm that is in jail.
[00:12:19]  Okay.
[00:12:20]  And he told you his house is empty.
[00:12:22]  He told me to come do some work on the house.
[00:12:25]  Okay.
[00:12:25]  So why are you doing this right now?
[00:12:27]  Because I want to make money.
[00:12:29]  Well, a phone call can straighten that shit up.
[00:12:31]  Why are you doing this right now?
[00:12:33]  Because I don't trust the police.
[00:12:35]  Oh, okay.
[00:12:36]  Well, trust this.
[00:12:37]  Toss that fing gun down there.
[00:12:38]  This is going to end very badly for you.
[00:12:40]  I don't care.
[00:12:41]  Okay.
[00:12:43]  I know where I'm going.
[00:12:43]  I expect a lot of horsemen.
[00:12:45]  Trust this.
[00:12:46]  You ever shoot somebody?
[00:12:47]  Yep.
[00:12:54]  Gotcha.
[00:12:55]  At least three times.
[00:12:56]  You understand?
[00:13:12]  Yep.
[00:13:15]  You're going to cough.
[00:13:21]  Give me that one.
[00:13:31]  I never did understand that.
[00:13:33]  What?
[00:13:34]  You shot somebody multiple times.
[00:13:36]  I'm thinking I see somebody bodily fluids on the ground.
[00:13:40]  Why would you handcuff them?
[00:13:42]  Those are life-threatening.
[00:13:43]  Hey, what I say earlier.
[00:13:46]  Never relax around blacks.
[00:13:49]  Yeah, but just...
[00:13:49]  No, I want to say that policy.
[00:13:51]  Well, that's a good policy.
[00:13:52]  I mean, I've seen cops shoot somebody headshots.
[00:13:55]  And they go up to the person and put them in handcuffs.
[00:13:58]  Yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
[00:13:59]  That don't make any sense.
[00:14:00]  Yeah.
[00:14:06]  Affirmative radio.
[00:14:08]  Notify the office.

=== Aggravated Violence and Warrants (02:44) ===

[00:14:09]  Send a 55.
[00:14:10]  Okay?
[00:14:11]  Good?
[00:14:11]  Okay.
[00:14:14]  All right.
[00:14:17]  102, I am on scene.
[00:14:19]  Let's keep this traffic to a minimum.
[00:14:21]  Alright, the ECO5, just don't put it over here.
[00:14:24]  Just get there.
[00:14:25]  Burger in progress.
[00:14:26]  Yeah, came in as a burglar.
[00:14:28]  Okay.
[00:14:28]  Traveler in progress.
[00:14:30]  The signal one out of the house.
[00:14:32]  The signal one.
[00:14:33]  Did we clear the rest of the house?
[00:14:35]  No.
[00:14:35]  No.
[00:14:38]  Clear the rest of this house.
[00:14:39]  Yeah, you're not breathing anymore.
[00:14:41]  We gotta get fucking sick inside.
[00:14:44]  Is there anything?
[00:14:45]  Any other pieces of evidence here with the camera?
[00:14:46]  The shellcases back here.
[00:14:48]  We picked up a gun.
[00:14:49]  Where's the gun?
[00:14:50]  I haven't touched it.
[00:14:54]  This ain't his first radio.
[00:14:56]  No, I know, but.
[00:14:59]  What is this guy thinking?
[00:15:00]  He didn't want to go to jail.
[00:15:01]  Yeah.
[00:15:02]  He said, if you lied about another layer, you're going to shoot me.
[00:15:04]  I'm not going back to jail.
[00:15:06]  What the f ⁇ ?
[00:15:08]  That's what he had.
[00:15:12]  He's going to spur.
[00:15:14]  Is that what he had?
[00:15:16]  Yeah.
[00:15:20]  I had to go back to the bottom.
[00:15:26]  Martinez wanted to debate me.
[00:15:28]  When I say send another finger, I mean send another finger off.
[00:15:32]  That doesn't mean ask 15 questions.
[00:15:34]  I don't think he heard you because you kind of came over broken.
[00:15:39]  This one.
[00:15:39]  Right now we got the answer.
[00:15:40]  Yeah, I used to do.
[00:15:43]  Okay, very crafted.
[00:15:45]  He was also a very crazy pro boxer.
[00:15:48]  Really?
[00:15:48]  Yeah, you would have a hard time taking him.
[00:15:50]  He was a one punch.
[00:15:51]  His story was probably legit.
[00:15:53]  He probably has a warrant, which is why he didn't want to give his girlfriend.
[00:15:56]  He wasn't great at MMA.
[00:15:57]  He was divided.
[00:15:59]  I saw him lay somebody for a while.
[00:16:01]  I saw him lay some PSW that didn't be the alleged professional.
[00:16:08]  That guy.
[00:16:10]  Just keep it clear for the paramedics so that they're in whatever they need.
[00:16:14]  The suspect, Rico Acevedo, was pronounced dead at the scene.
[00:16:17]  Although officers believed he was armed, no firearm was recovered.
[00:16:20]  He had charged at them while brandishing a tool that resembled a pistol.
[00:16:23]  His criminal history included a 2015 domestic violence case involving his ex-girlfriend, where he was charged with domestic violence, felonious assault, aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, and violating a protective order.
[00:16:35]  Though he faced up to 40 years, he accepted a plea deal and served six.
[00:16:38]  He was released in October 2021 and remained under state supervision at the time of his death.
[00:16:43]  Well, I gotta apologize.
[00:16:45]  I was incorrect.
[00:16:47]  He wasn't black.
[00:16:48]  He was Latino.
[00:16:50]  Well, he's black passing.
[00:16:52]  That's all you need.
