of
whoever his baby mom or whoever that is
that he talks to to see if they got an
extra key or the landlord
who's this
ah he's just getting dropped off
oh you can try getting a hold of the
landlord and see if they have a key
that's my club he's my club brother yeah
but that's why we're here
and nobody's been able to get in touch
he's not answering no problem
yeah because last time we talked to now
he's depressed because you know he's
been sick
yeah yeah you got kids
he hasn't even told none of me and me
i'm his dad he hasn't told me
his mom or nothing about that i'm always
at work i work for tent companies so i'm
always either out of town
you know uh uh for the land don't deny
they got the
landlords uh stay on site somewhere
that's what i was just telling him
so you can try to get a hold of the
landlord but i mean in order for us the
fourth century you have to be like
extreme circumstances and then we'll
talk to fire
gotta be bro well you gotta understand
people
i understand that but people post like
that all the time
okay you know what i'm saying so we can
we're calling fire to see if they wanna
say
but even though i'm his father don't
post like that
he don't never post anything like that
you can ask anybody here dude
you ask them i don't post i understand
that but
how would you feel if somebody forced
entry into your home and then all of a
sudden you say nah
i was i was just playing around man
i mean my brother on
the individual that lives here has been
posting on social media stating that he
wants to take his life
okay um it's not like him to do he's
never done this
in the past um they're adamant that he's
here
uh we have no evidence of that the doors
are locked i'm trying to save from
guys on the fourth century yeah yeah i
think we better
we gotta have to especially you fellas
have seen him post stuff on on social
media
i got a phone call like like what i just
got phone calls

would be my last post
okay twelve contacted to talk to his
kids telling him he's going to
eat tonight
or get something to get in here and uh
get that done i appreciate it appreciate
it
i said he ain't never not answering my
calls or called me back
since i came from the hospital like i
said i dropped my daughter off and my
wife up
from having the baby and flew straight
here
he answered my calls
for century we're gonna have to clear
the house so if he has a gun in there or
something like that
and he's suicidal that also means he's
homicidal which means he's gonna
try to hurt somebody else
