Bodycam and home video show the moment police arrested a 52-year-old father after his 21-year-old son, Eric Contreras, was found dead at their Kendall, Florida house on November 3, 2023. The father emerged from the home with his hands up, upset and telling officers he had shot his son, then led them to the body. Ring doorbell footage captured him telling his wife the son was dead; a 911 call played at a hearing includes him saying he and his son had been fighting and he lost control.

Eric was a college student at Florida International University and friends described him as caring, though often in conflict with his parents. The family had returned from a recent trip to Orlando during which tensions reportedly rose. The father has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and remains under investigation; a judge later allowed release under house arrest with monitoring.

Does anyone have additional details about Eric’s life at FIU or the family’s recent tensions that could help clarify what happened?
