DETAILS INSIDE:
A 22-year-old Florida man has been charged with
manslaughter for shooting and killing a 17-year-old
teenager while the two were allegedly acting out the
lyrics to Waka Flocka Flame’s “Bustin’ At ‘Em.”
According to the Brevard County Sherrif’s office, 22-
year-old Rodney Clay Patrick Jr. picked up what he
thought was an unloaded gun and pointed it at 17-
year-old Douglas Trey Winslow. While “Bustin At ‘Em”
played, the gun discharged and killed the teen.
Patrick called 911 and told the dispatcher that Winslow
accidentally shot himself. “I handed my little brother
my gun, and I didn’t know it was loaded, and he shot
himself in the head,” said Patrick on the 911 tape
obtained by the NY Daily News. “He just wanted to
see it.
He thought it was so cool. I thought I had cleared it
and everything…This is so bad. I’m such a horrible
person.”
After investigating the scene, the police later
determined that it was Patrick who pulled the trigger.
Along with manslaughter, he also faces charges of
tampering with evidence and possession of the prescription drug alprazolam.
“Bustin At ‘Em” includes the lyrics, “Ain’t no talkin’
homie / I’m jus’ bustin’ at ‘em” over the sound of
repeated gun shots. Waka Flocka Flame has not
commented on the situation.
