A man convicted of killing a Miami-Dade high school senior in a dispute over the trendy Yeezys sneaker had an emotional outburst in court on Friday. When the victim’s family spoke to him, labeling him a “monster,” he couldn’t contain his emotions.
The father of Andrea Camps Lacayo confronted Adrian Crosby and expressed his deep contempt for him. He labeled Crosby as the embodiment of evil and darkness in this world. The father firmly believed that individuals like Crosby deserved to be confined to prison for the entirety of their lives.
In a sudden outburst, 23-year-old Crosby leaped from his chair, unleashing a stream of curses as he attempted to lunge at the family. Quick to respond, officers swiftly intervened and forcibly removed him from the courtroom.
“After the verdict was read, the teen’s father directly addressed Crosby, emphasizing the truth that the court had once again confirmed. He called Crosby a fool, a liar, and a monster for the actions that not only affected Andrea but also impacted their entire family and friends.”
The trial started on Tuesday, coming eight months after jurors convicted George Walton of first-degree murder in connection with the incident.
Although Walton did not pull the trigger, he was convicted of first-degree murder and attempted murder for his involvement in the shooting. His target was Sergio Berben, the boyfriend of Camps Lacayo, who was shot but managed to survive.
Berben and his girlfriend intended to sell Walton three pairs of sneakers, valued at approximately $935, from the shoe line created in collaboration with rapper Kanye West.
Berben testified on Tuesday during Cosby’s trial.
Berben recounted to the jurors how the defendant, in a horrifying turn of events, took the life of his girlfriend and made an attempt on his own life as well.
After the shooting, Berben drove away but pulled over on the side of the road when Camps Lacayo was dying. Paramedics and police eventually arrived at the spot where the couple had parked.
During the trial, Miami-Dade Police Sgt. Jenna Parmenter testified, stating that Camps Lacayo had been fluctuating between periods of consciousness and unconsciousness. Parmenter recalled the victim expressing concern about her well-being, asking if she would be alright.
Parmenter informed the jurors that the woman “faded back out and closed her eyes.”
