the problem is that I don't like killing people if they don't deserve it I don't believe on the dead I already came from the dead you killed Rio because you feel he deserved it he did you just saw 19-year-old Brian Rodriguez sagala a teenage killer who thinks that murder is his God given right and the more he speaks the more shocked the detective becomes as he realizes the man in front of him is not a sane human being talking about what happened with Rico he died I sent him to him he belongs I don't feel bad because he deserved it on March 26th 2021 around 5:15 p.m. officers from Sparks Nevada were responding to a complaint at an apartment complex when they encountered a crime scene they never expected the floor was drenched in Blood and lying there was 67-year-old Javier Rodriguez lifeless with two bullet wounds one in his wrist and another in his chest his fate was sealed long before help arrived Javier was pronounced dead on the scene the least the officer could do now was find the truth behind his murder an investigation soon uncovered that just a night prior Javier had several guests over one of whom was 19-year-old Brian Rodriguez sagala according to witness testimonies a gunshot Was Heard and Brian was the one seen fleeing the scene the very next day on March 27th officers tracked Brian down hoping to unravel what led to this brutal murder but they could have never expected that Brian was not their usual criminal he was just as chilling as his crime itself hey Brian I got that water for you and we're going to take those cuffs off okay yes sir let's go and stand up we get those cuffs off you just relax you let go good go ahead it's closed you can close it so I just wanted to have a chance to talk to you about what happened well it's a long story sir okay I got the time well yeah I know it sounds it sounds because people people don't believe on the Bible okay yeah uh they killed me and with faith I came back okay but the simple thing it was that I confessed everything but all my wrong things and with the faith I had I came back I got out it's like me standing up and seeing my own body sir okay and then I don't know I just Clos my eyes but I know I was going up you know okay CU I felt I went up but in the same time when I open my eyes I see my body just not there no more I'm like what but just curious because I got the Bible and then I start Believing on the Bible and then in my room yeah I got all the things that I went through the Bible and stuff and yeah all that things yeah Jesus Christ what happened to Ros yeah he was my he was my family member whatever okay but all the people that were invis to his house he he did people wrong okay he tied people up like uh it's like a like a wedding tyup of thing but they tied him with black magic oh and yeah he did that to me too because yeah I met him because of one of my friends and yeah because of drugs so what did you do because of that I had to do what I had to do sir okay shoot him I told him first I'm like hey you could just say sorry and just apologize and he said yeah I'm sorry but he actually didn't mean it he did it again but doing it worse like meaning it okay and so well the Bible never lies sir you know I told him I got double face I'm L but I'm usually Bri but you know just confess and try not to do it again nah the next day it's just funny how he tried to take me like to bed you know a relationship but I'm not gay sir so I'm always straight and then he's like no well we going to have to do in a in a bad ways in the good ways you going to bed you're going to sleep with me and I'm like no I'm not you know because I'm not gay first of all and second the ball I like females I don't like fools you know especially because you are my I don't know couple of Rodriguez you know and it's weird but yeah the Bible never lies and I do confess I didn't yes I didn't within barely four minutes of the interrogation Brian has not only confessed to murder but also revealed his motive and Justified it according to Brian Javier had allegedly attempted to coerce Brian into unwanted sexual acts which Brian believed to be a great sin and he wanted Javier to confess but when he failed to do so Brian did what he thought he must as the Savior and shot Javier to death this was only the start of his religious fanaticism because as this interrogation goes on it becomes increasingly evident that he is far more mentally Disturbed than officers could have imagined what what were you doing before that me yeah oh I was just reading the Bible okay reading the Bible and just sitting in the living room do you remember what do you remember what time you went over to Rico it was about to when all that happened yeah I was about to be 12:30 years okay I walked out and where where did you go afterwards home you went home straight home and read the Bible again okay yeah what time did you go to bed U I usually never sleep you never sleep okay when was the last time you slept the last time I slept it was like at 5: in the morning the same day okay and I woke up early today okay ear what time did you get up today soon as when I got the first phone call of of the neighbor of burito okay yeah did that make you how did that make you feel when he as he asked you to sleep with with with him not not comfortable not comfortable at all okay because like first of all of course I would not sleep with someone I don't like to sleep you know especially with the dude yeah and I told him I was like man I'm not like that but it's just funny because and weird because we're watching TV and it's like a simple like he's controlling people over the TV you know and I'm like hey I could do it too you know but for me it's not it's not a good simple thing to do because I like people having the own time mhm because yeah people are ruing my family but doesn't mean I got to ruin someone's you know I want them to see them happy MH one thing that never did but I know I'm going to do it because for his Spa yeah my mom and my dad never got along mhm my mom right now she's in Mexico okay yeah and how did Rio react when you didn't want to sleep with him I know he did not like the end then yeah he's like yeah you trying to smoke weed like in in like has it called giving me drugs okay yeah and yeah I was smoking weed couple things but doesn't mean like I was just doing it for part I it call like for I mean like to oh yeah I want to so I'm just going to just appreciate it and just do it no I was doing it because the Bible was there and he was the Bible is my life the Bible is me my brain where was the Bible on top on the TV okay yeah so the Bible and the cross that ones are the original okay the special ones I took the to MH because I told him hey I appreciate the Bible because if not I'm going to have to do what I got to do because for your fault and for others that appreciate yeah I got through hell and I came from hell so it sounds like there was an argument after he asked you to sleep with him and you said no it was the next day because the the day the the night when I yeah I I did everything he was with his I think his work I don't know who he was okay but he was doing the same thing what he did to me oh he was sleeping with him you know okay so everything what everybody does or I don't know if he did it to everybody but yeah like how I did it I started he was starting with someone else I think it was his how do you call it like if if I I'm with someone and and his brother is like a brother sister law something like that okay like a relative something like that okay well that one dude I don't even know him but I gave him a coin and that coin yeah it was it was a it's a company car uhhuh because my grandpa he has companies and yeah I gave it to him I was like Hey I want you to work with me and I appreciate you because like he tried to help me out too and then he tried to put him against me and I'm like no don't even try it dude because my my issues is the Bible and the Bible is way more powerful okay of the bad spirits because I seen him like trying to scratch himself and and I'm like dude just stop it and I looked at Ros and Ros I took it to his position to him Rego just jumped he's like oh it hurts stop it and I'm like well you stop it because you're making other people just feel bad and then yeah I I did everything I shot him I don't feel bad because he deserved it okay so you didn't feel bad after you shot him no because for me I feel like I helped a lot of people not just one MH what did you do to help a lot just appreciate everything what they did to me and I would not do them what they did to me mhm because for him and another female M and the female yeah her name is l glor Gloria okay she's another one what happened with Gloria she's the one who killed me sir oh okay yeah she put my brother my dad against me okay yeah where did you get the gun I had it Brian clearly experiences religious delusions he constantly mentions the Bible and justifies the Murder by saying that Javier was a sinner who got what he deserved keeping this in mind it is easy to conclude that Brian presents a disturbing personality profile characterized by grandiosity a lack of empathy and distorted religious beliefs bordering on delusion his clear disregard for the victim's life also hints at possible antisocial Tendencies to make things worse his sense of grandiosity and distorted religious beliefs are only fueled by a history of drug abuse from the age of 15 way before I got off probation okay but you know I never it's my first time doing it mhm because I usually when I want to go shoot I go to the hills and shoot the bottles uhhuh I don't since my first case when I shot at the the shotgun yeah I stopped doing that okay shooting at the air that's stupid okay but I mean usually when I want to go I go to the hills and shoot at the bottles that's it and so how long have you have the pistol since uh when I moved on to I moved on to St PEB down from St PE I think September September something okay yeah and do you remember how many times you shot I shot a couple times but it's because when I went to the hill and Just sh the bottles but shout out the the people never just my first time at Ros how many times did you shoot just twice okay just twice and what happened after you shot him it was weird because the first shot it was like from here to the wall I know I shot him on the chest I don't know if it went through okay but the second shot it didn't I se it but it was just two shots okay where were you when you shot him in the living room in the living room do you remember where you could you tell me what the living room look like the living room is like me standing in the living room and then the the kitchen and then he turned the whole lives before everything happened and I'm like okay so I read the Bible I put the Bible up there I'm like all right you're going to meet the double face the one you don't want to meet Lo so as soon as when I said it he jumped he's like oh man I'm I'm sorry and then he said and I'm like all right so he was ran his room standing and looking into the kitchen okay and so I was like all right sorry and I just shot him twice soon as when I shot him I walked away I did what what else was in the living room that you remember Lo is a separate evil entity that Brian's delusional framework has created he would later claim Lo is the devil but no biblical figure with a similar name exists he likely has some form of dissociative disorder which leads him to attribute certain actions and behavior to the so-called devilish personality of Lo this way of thinking is so severe that he has blurred the lines between reality religion and his fictitious beliefs so much so that he can no longer separate his own personal thoughts or moral compass from the entities he believes in could you just describe the living room in the kitchen area was there anything in particular that you remember about it any pieces of furniture or you mentioned that there was a Bible was there anything else I put the Bible on top of the TV okay and then yeah I put put the Bible and then I I left my backpack on the living room okay and then when I I shot it twice I believe so the the the other dude the one who was sleeping on the bed he wed up oh and I open the door but before I open the door I'm like pray to the Bible you know Jesus Christ your savior okay just walked out I didn't run I did nothing I just walked out noral okay and that's it just went to go smoke some cigarettes and you said you went home afterwards yes sir now this apartment you're talking about R's apartment how many bedrooms are in there just one okay and you mentioned there's a kitchen there's a little dog too a little brown dog a little brown dog okay um how long have you known Rio since when I died and came back do you remember when that when that was what that was no sir okay and you mentioned that he was is is he a like a family relative of some kind I believe so okay because for his fault and and the female I'm saying my mom and my sister and everybody yeah we were struggling my mom then they had a couple with my my dad because when we were a little kid um we had an issue my dad I don't know if he h my mom or whatever so my grandpa we when me and my mom and my sister and my brother we went to Mexico and then my grandpa was sick and my dad stayed here working and then we had to leave because my my mom wanted to see my dad you know and then what R had on his leg that happened to my grandpa the same thing his leg got swallowed and what are you talking about what happened to Ros like well it was Karma sir okay do you know what like what what what was the thing that you're talking about well so when we went to back to Mexico my grandpa had an accident right okay they chopped this laid off oh wow he didn't survive he passed out sorry to hear that yeah yeah and so all that that I lived it was because of him he tied me he just yeah he was have you went to my house yet I haven't been to your house now so if you go to my house sir I got the books I got everything okay and it's more more what's it called more more proof okay and yeah I got a little dog that little dog is my little sister that he had inside his house okay Brian do you remember what clothes you were wearing when this happened at R's house yes sir um I always wearing I was wearing a straight hat a straight hat straight hat eagle and a button white and not like darkest but yeah it's like the the Buns okay I walk down the the stairs when I what shoes were you wearing Nikes Nikes was it were these ones or were they different ones the Air Forces Air Forces okay yeah and what what happened to those clothes that you were wearing they're in my house they're in your house where do you keep your clothes in your house in my room in your room okay well I got a t brother okay yeah do you have any other weapons in your house no sir no okay and I had um nine Clips but that's it okay do you have um any other kind of ammo in your house yes what kind of ammo do you have the shotguns and the the the big ones but it was just like collecting okay do you have any ammo that would work with uh your pistol no sir no where do you buy your uh your ammo well I usually get I could get it myself okay yeah because I usually text one of my cousins that his name is Ricky uhhuh but nowaday I don't see him he went homeless because I like helping homeless okay that's nice of you um who did you get the gun from when you first got it myself okay I used to when I was a little kid I used to work in the cartel oh really yeah okay just passing weed just a lot of weed okay I I used to struggle when I was eight for the whole reason okay Brian claims to have ties with a cartel though there's no proof to confirm this however it's possible given the strong influence cartels have in Mexico if true it could explain his deteriorating mental state and lack of empathy this is because being exposed to the extreme violence of organized crime at 8 years old when the brain is still developing could have deeply affected Brian at such a young age witnessing these atrocities can lead to lifelong behavioral and emotional issues more specifically dissociative disorders which primarily develop between the ages of 7 and 9 especially in children who endure severe trauma or abuse it is likely what he witnessed and learned in cartels also broke his moral compass gave him paranoia and eliminated his empathy as he displayed a callous dismissal of the victim's life this exposure to crime was was likely what introduced him to drugs which would further worsen his mental health why why is this the first time that you shot somebody because I never killed No One MH never killed no one how come because it's like saying if you sir could carry a gun Why Not Me mhm right if you got papers I could get papers too MH it don't matter nothing right but the problem is that I don't like killing people if they don't deserve it okay if that I can because I don't believe on the death I already came from the death if I die I will come back so what you're telling me is that you killed Rio because you feel he deserved it he did I didn't feel he because he deserved it in your words okay yes sir and you haven't killed other people because they haven't deserved it yes sir okay and I don't feel like killing people just because for fun you know it's like grabbing someone's heart for fun they did that to me but I don't feel killing other people just for fun no in my words I just got two people just Rego and Glory that's it okay because Glory she was the one type of people that gives me a lot of meth you know and I didn't [ __ ] with it I'm not going to lie but she trying to put me in the mental hospital oh really when are you going to believe someone's drug addict in the mental hospital what if I tell you there's a bad spirits mhm you never will believe no one in here the Bible that you mentioned that you put on TV was that the New Testament is that your Bible yes sir it is your Bible okay and the whole Bible connect to that one when you left it how did you position a Bible when you left it I don't know if it's the the one I took them but it's a big one okay and and it should be on the TV or on the cabinet okay but my Bible I have it in my room okay is this one okay Brian you how how are you doing on water do you do you need some more water no it's all right you okay appreciate it though okay yeah how are you feeling today great I'm feeling happy because now I'm going to live life okay we sit tight just for a minute I'll be right back okay yes sir do you have any questions for me um is it um what was it if you want to think about it I'll be right back is just saying can you contact the government to open the borders I don't think I have the power to do that but if if you think of any more questions um just sit diver in okay I'll be right back thanks hey BR you know we we talked a little bit about um Gloria and how um she tried to take you in and M Hospital yeah um he talked a little bit about um using meth you said you messed with it a little bit uh can you tell me just a little bit about that well she put me and my brother in gu Me by have I don't know if you seen that um the the cartoons that you want to eat the apple well yeah it's her okay yeah when did you first use math me I started when I was like 15 okay and are you uh currently using it yes sir okay how often do you use it I don't use it as much the only thing I use is weed and tobacco okay couple T times just be how how often do you think you use math like three times a week you say okay where do you get your math oh oh with Rego with Rego Regal and her Okay Regal and Gloria do they give you math or do they sell you math well they never sold me but they yeah I got some I'll go buy some I will be back but I know they were the drug dealers so okay and you mentioned before that um the rioo deserved it now when you went over that day were you planning on killing him no sir okay um you mentioned that he had asked you to sleep with you and that created he he's one of those like people that are stuck in their brains like okay it's like telling me telling you to do something I even speaking with you okay you know yeah and it's possible yes it is okay um when did you decide to shoot him when I told him to confess with the truth and meaning it because it's like going to church confessing and not meaning it you got to mean it to be free of or has call his like saying according to several researchers extensive methamphetamine use can significantly damage the brain's prefrontal cortex which which is involved in memory decision-making and impulse control this alteration of the brain's functioning leads to the user experiencing several issues such as paranoia delusional thinking and hallucinations the constant release of dopamine is also linked with extreme feelings of confidence and in Brian's case it leads to him developing grandiosity so severe that he believes he has the power to influence the country's border kid that everybody talks about but it's everybody connected to my brain okay you know and if I been talking bad about someone that I even know yeah it looks it looks stupid and it's not respectful mhm so the day when I come and I ask him hey you're the one kid that yes sir the mind kind yeah oh I'm sorry you know okay and then if I say yeah of course no worries because I appreciate the people who apologize because now that will noway see how I am they didn't thought the opposite you know like oh yeah this was [ __ ] up and [ __ ] you know okay what was it that you were trying to get Rio to confess all the damage he did all the world okay and did you bring the Bible with you when you went to his house the one that you said on the TV I gave him one Bible the original one but I don't know if he thre the way or didn't okay because he was he had the Bible in the in the counter and the Bible was inside the bag and one page was ripped okay so he likes experiment with the Bible so the Bible is my life the Bible it's me Jesus Christ okay your savior okay so yeah I told him in the right way so man thanks for you yeah I have double face I'm lo lo is the Dead you know and then but I do know how to control my actions because I'm not that type of person that yeah I'm going forced everything on the right way no I can forc everything on the right way and bad way that's how I'm a cancer now the other guys that were in the apartment do you know those guys I just know one of them which one do you know uh chaparo chaparo do you know his real name no sir and how do you know chaparo he lives with [Music] the he lives on second storage all the way on the left and the one who called me curly hair he lives all the way on top but that's the only few persons I know but I don't know the real names okay but uh the the one dud that was staying that one night I don't know him at all okay after you left did you talk to anybody about this no but I talked to them before I left I was like yeah I told him hey you know who is Jesus Christ and my brother sonas he was like no you know they they were making a laugh of it but before that I walked towards them I was like yeah you know them don't know and I showed all my wall and everything I showed them the proof the Bible never lies you know and then soon as when I showed them like they they calm down like the over bad negative things like it could like it feel like when you so nervous and then I showed you something then now you feel like less less let's it called and like everything relaxes and so he's he's like oh yeah that's what's up but he was confused and then when he went inside the room Rego came out with a I don't know what spray thing it was like a holes he started showering everything but it was like smoke or whatever but it was when he was tying the whole souls and everything okay and I'm like what the are you for real and I told him like man the is this I told him hey stop it and he's like no no no no no I'm not going to stop and so I told him all right so you're not going to confess and just stop your [ __ ] I'm going have to do what I got to do did you and chaparo and rioo use that night I didn't you did not no sir okay I asked him if they like hey you don't you don't got some I know he did had some and a lot because he's a drug dealer or whatever how'd that make you feel when he told you no and it feel it made me feel great sir okay because because I was like yeah I'm going to stop it and then less and less and less and and so he was like no I don't got nothing and so the other chapar he got upset about it he left okay and so when he left I told him too I was like hey um you should leave because I'm going to tell him on the right way to confess if he don't confess and I don't want you to be around because you know okay so that's why left cuz you told him that you were going to talk to I told without without speaking with him I told him on my brain oh okay um Brian what do you think should happen to you because you shot R for me I mean let I ask you a question how many people have you killed I haven't killed anybody Bri and what about other officers I don't know the I don't know the answer to that question I couldn't say well I do got the questions because I'm the I'm the law now and I'm the judge was speaking with what with weird words truth words the Bible never lies well I just I was just wondering what you thought so I was just wondering that's why I was asking you a question earlier you think you could call the government [Music] from from Donald Trump or whatever you know to open the borders and open the law I don't have that kind of authority well I got the power Brian I want that to be justice for all you had your phone with you um what's the password to get into your phone is there a particular password and my question why do you guys want to go through my phone for well because it's part of the case what case well it can I go through your phone no no right so I said no okay and if it's it's your choice if you don't want to give me no it is my choice yeah so if you don't want to give me the passco that's okay I'm just asking yes sir I appreciate you asking sir but no thank you okay so you didn't talk to anybody about what happened why should I talk to someone that don't even believe me well I think what people right if they want to believe me more get in through the Bible that's my reason in my response well I'm just talking about um talking about what happened with Rico he died I sent him to hell where he belongs and when people want to join him they can too okay all right Brian hang on just a minute okay yes sir thanks Brian's long-term methampetamine use and distorted thinking patterns have detached Brian from reality individuals with rigid religious beliefs like Brian are more prone to Violent Behavior particularly when convinced of divine justification coupled with this is Brian's distorted vision of power and lack of remorse which puts him at risk for future violence and the prosecutors thought the same during his trial in May of 2023 their entire argument was based on how susceptible to violence he was they emphasized his impulsive behavior and deemed him a risk to society due to his recurring violence the jury clearly agreed and in August of 2023 Brian was charged with first-degree murder and sentenced to 70 years in prison with the possibility of parole after 28 years
