On Friday, Adrian Cosby, 33, required restraint in a Miami-Dade courtroom.
Before being sentenced, a Florida man who was found guilty of killing a teenage girl over Yeezy sneakers more than four years ago lurched at the victim’s relative in court.
In April 2020, 23-year-old Adrian Cosby killed Andrea Camps-Lacayo, a senior in high school who was 18. The killer was triggered by a statement delivered by Camps-Lacayo’s father at Cosby’s sentencing on Friday.
According to an online obituary, Camps-Lacayo’s father, Alexander Camps, stated, “You are the epitome of evil and darkness that this world represents,” according to NBC Miami. “There’s only one place animals like you belong, and that’s in prison for the rest of your life.”
Cosby reportedly shouted, “What the f— you talking about b—-,” according to the Miami Herald. According to the publication, it took around six cops to detain Cosby when he jumped out of his chair.
According to NBC Miami, which cited authorities, the incident happened while Camps-Lacayo and her boyfriend were trying to sell three pairs of $935 Adidas Yeezy shoes. When 19-year-old George Walton sought to put on one of the shoe pairs created and introduced by the musician formerly known as Kanye West, Camps-Lacayo and her boyfriend, Sergio Berben, met him outside of an abandoned Homestead home.
According to NBC Miami, after Berben insisted on seeing the money first, Cosby went to his driver’s side door and started firing, hitting both Berben and Camps-Lacayo. At a nearby hospital, Camps-Lacayo subsequently passed away.
Cosby was found guilty by a jury of attempted robbery, criminal murder, and attempted murder. According to the Post, he was given two life terms and a concurrent 25-year sentence. According to the Miami Herald, a judge in the Miami-Dade Circuit Court sentenced him to two life terms and a concurrent 25-year sentence.
Earlier this year, Walton was found guilty of first-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder, and attempted robbery with a pistol and was given a life sentence.
According to her web obituary, Camps-Lacayo is survived by her mother, father, brother, and sister. She led her high school dance squad as captain.
