Investigators have released videos, evidence, and transcripts related to a case from last year in which Pedro Ruiz III, in an attempt to achieve YouTube fame, had girlfriend Monalisa Perez fire a Desert Eagle at his chest. He assumed that the book he was holding would shield the bullet, but it went straight through and killed him. Ms. Perez pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter in December. Thanks cageymaru.
He said he wanted to be “crazier” than famous stunt stars like the men behind MTV’s hit series, “Jackass.” “I may fail, but if I fail I want to die trying,” Ruiz said. “We’re all going to die anyways. It’s just a matter of how and when.” The couple bantered back and forth lightly in the videos, laughing and directing each other for what was supposed to be the first video on Ruiz’s YouTube channel.
