Teenager Set Up Camera to Capture Planned Murders of Parents Because He Was 'Upset over His Upbringing': Police

Jeremiah Estel Blair, 19, had allegedly been planning to kill his parents for years, police claim

The Arizona teenager allegedly stood in the kitchen with a gun and a video camera and waited for his parents to wake up.

Jeremiah Estel Blair, 19, is charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder in connection to the non-fatal shootings of his parents, the Chandler Police Department confirms.

Blair allegedly later told police that he was  “upset over his upbringing” because he was “not treated as he should have been as a child,” according to court documents obtained by AZ Family.

So, at around 1:00 a.m. Monday, May 13 — about an hour after Mother’s Day — Blair stood in the kitchen waiting to record himself killing his parents, he later told detectives, per the court documents.

When his father came down the stairs, Blair allegedly told him, per the court documents, that he “knew this day was coming,” and shot him.

Then, darting up the stairs, he allegedly fired at his mother, who was coming out of the bedroom.
