At the event, at the press conference, and we don't know precisely the chain of events, but we have footage that I believe we're showing on screen right now that police spoke with him.

and then it seems that he was escorted out or asked to leave, and then they held the press conference where we also have footage where this Dominique Alexander blasts Jeff Metcalf and said it was disrespectful for him to attend this press conference. Let us remind everyone his son was murdered.

His son was murdered, and I'm not going to judge how he chooses to react to that, but we'll be getting a lot more of this. This is clearly inflaming a lot of passions. And I don't think it's going to slow down anytime soon because, well, we have an entire murder trial in front of us over this.
