A California man was arrested following an eight-hour standoff for allegedly murdering two women and livestreaming the crime on Instagram. Police said that Raymond Michael Weber, 29, brandished a gun and accused the two women of setting him up in the 36-minute video.
When police arrived, Weber barricaded himself inside his apartment. The SWAT team was called in to assist and evacuated his neighbors. They used "distraction devices and chemical agents" in a failed attempt to take Weber into custody. After nearly eight hours, the SWAT team broke down his door and arrested him during a brief struggle in which they were forced to use a taser.
Inside Weber's apartment, they found the bodies of two women. Officials have not identified the women and are waiting for an autopsy report to confirm how they died.
Neighbors said they were horrified after seeing the graphic video.
"He was messing with two dead bodies. Just saying, 'They set me up,'" neighbor Stewart Mixon told KTXL. "It's graphic and disturbing. It made me sick to my stomach for sure."
Weber was booked into the Solano County Jail on two charges of murder. He also had outstanding felony warrants in another county for assault with a deadly weapon and domestic battery.
