A man accused of intentionally hitting a father and his two young sons with his car in a fatal crash that killed the dad posted disturbing videos to Instagram shortly before.
“I’m [fixing to] kill somebody tonight right now,” Mikese Morse said on an Instagram video, posted before he allegedly intentionally rammed his Dodge sedan into Pedro Aguerreberry, 42, and his two young boys as they rode their bikes.
In a press conference, Tampa police Chief Brian Dugan told reporters that the boys “essentially watched their father die.”
According to the police report, a witness says that Morse turned his Dodge sedan around, crossed the grass median, drove past a lane of traffic and intentionally hit the family with his car.
Police say that Morse fled the scene. They later arrested him and charged him with premeditated first-degree murder and leaving the scene of a crash with death. He is being held without bond, and has not yet hired an attorney to speak on his behalf.

Morse, 30, was well-known to police. Twelve days before the crash, he walked into a police station and spouted conspiracy theories.
Although he was taken into custody, Dugan says that he was released after a week. Five days after his release, the crash occurred.

Friends and family of Aguerreberry are mourning the loss of a devoted husband and father.
“Pedro was a gentle, caring, beautiful human being who always had kind words to say, and actually took the time to SAY them,” his friends wrote on aGoFundMeset up to help the family with medical care, funeral costs and other expenses.
“He often went out of his way to help others and to bring smiles to our faces. Pedro did these things, for no other reason than to make us feel better about who we are as individuals, and to know what we … meant to him.”
