Chilling Cell Phone Video Shows Violent Last Moments of Murdered Military Vet

An absolutely chilling cell phone video taken by an unidentified witness shows the final moments of a military veteran’s life, CBS Boston reports.
Stephen Perez, 22, who served two tours of duty in the Middle East with the U.S. Army as a sniper, was shot to death following a late-night brawl that erupted during a night out with friends in Boston’s Theater District last April.
The video shows a confrontation arising after a woman said something to Perez and his friends, kicking their car as they were trying to leave. Perez responded and said something back, which prompted an all-out brawl between two groups of people. The fight was brutal — several punches were thrown, many connected.
In the video, a man can later be seen retrieving a handgun from his waist, holding it steadily as he finds his target.

Perez’s cousin told CBS Boston that his family can barely stand to watch the video.
“You can hear the girl on the video saying, ‘He’s got a gun,’ and I just got choked up thinking, the next thing I’m going to see is him getting shot,” Mark Bruno said.
However, the video ends before the fatal shot that killed Perez rings out. Police say the shooter, identified as Peter Castillo, cowardly shot Perez in the back after he turned away.
“It‘s the most cowardice thing I’ve ever seen in my life,“ Boston police officer Marc Sullivan said on ”America’s Most Wanted.”
Surveillance video from the parking garage shows the gunman seen in the cell phone footage fleeing the scene, still gripping his gun. Another man involved in the fight, wearing a blue shirt, was also caught on the surveillance camera running from the garage.
Police believe Castillo has fled to the Dominican Republic. The suspect previously lived in Salem, Mass.
“He’s going to be brought to justice whether they snatch him up out of the Dominican Republic or not,” Bruno added. “Everyone has their judgement day.”
The video first appeared on “America’s Most Wanted.“ You can watch the ”America’s Most Wanted” segment below:

If the veteren had been armed there could be several Puerto Rican funerals going on this week.
Just one more reason why a concealed carry permit is the best thing going !
It’s a jungle out there and getting worse. Being armed, levels the playing field against these kinds of foreign hoodlums and illegal alien freaks.
May this poor vet’s soul rest in peace.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 9:40pmGuns don’t kill people. People kill people. It’s just really easy if you have a gun.
Hey, didn’t I read a story last year or the year before about a good guy using his gun to kill a bad guy? Something like that? I know it happens for sure in the movies and at least sometimes in real life. I think the lame stream media, under the iron-fisted control of Obama, suppresses all those stories cause they want you to think that guns are all bad and stuff. All you hear about is mass murders by white guys now that Obama is in office.
I mean, for the US having one of the highest gun violence rates in the world, why don’t we hear about all the good guys, bearing arms, killing the bad guys who would rob them and do them harm? For all the guns, where are all the stories about the good guys saving the day by whipping out their guns and putting down the bad guys? That must happen all the time!!! So why doesn’t the press cover that???

I think you answered your own question: “I think the lame stream media suppresses all those stories cause they want you to think that guns are all bad and stuff.”
The reality is:
“Based on survey data from a 2000 study published in the Journal of Quantitative Criminology, U.S. civilians use guns to defend themselves and others from crime at least 989,883 times per year.”

Posted on August 9, 2012 at 7:03amGuitar Master – Haven’t you heard. You cannot own any handgun in Mass without special permission.
When I was on active duty a friend of mine got transferred to Ft Devens. He had to fill out paper work to get permission to take his handguns with him. Permission was denied and he had to leave the guns with his parents in Texas. This was a US Army CWO2 who was a compititive shooter. At that time just having the guns in the state would have resulted in jail time.
This is a very good example of how gun congrol lawes keep us safe.

You know why, however the press does cover it – SOMEtimes. It’s where the NRA gets their articles for their “The Armed Citizen” section of their magazines. More than likely, you’ll hear a story about a citizen who uses a firearm to defend himself falling prey to the draconian laws of his city or state. Such laws should be turned on the politicians who write them and call for more…you’ll see those laws turned around faster than George Michaels spreads his cheeks for strangers in public bathrooms…

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 4:43pmSo a fight should result in death? I grew up in a community where more people had guns than those who didn’t have them and we never had shootings. Do you think we had fights? Of course we did, but it didn’t occur to any of us to shoot someone.
I was just as aggressive as some of these guys maybe even more I had my share of heated fights but never saw someone try to take the cowards way out and shoot someone. We all had guns and still do but you don’t see us shooting people without genuine cause.
In High school most of had guns in our truck or car on campus but there was never a shooting. Why? We had respect for people and life. There was discipline in school and home. We had to have manners we were taught respect, integrity and learned what commitment meant and most of all we learned that there were real consequences for our actions.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 3:57pmWell, Massachusetts has some of the stricter gun control laws in the country. In fact, the saying is that “everything is illegal in Mass.”. Seems like that really made a difference here, again. I am absolutely sure that the gun that was used was registered and that Castillo had a concealed carry license (sarcasm at its best). People like Castillo would think twice about pulling a gun if they had any suspicion that the other people around them were armed. And if they do end up pulling it, they would be met with extreme prejudice. Kind of a deterrent, don’t you think. Of course, all the Mass. police are going to do is process the crime scene, as usual, and hope they get extradition orders for Castillo from the Dominican Republic (right!).

You know the liberal reply. It is that guns will flow in form states were guns are legal to purchase & controls are lax. So their solution is to make guns illegal in all state & then everything will be perfect.
To back up their claim of perfect, they will point to the murder rate with or without guns in England to the U.S. If at this point you point out that the U.S. is more heterogeneous for a longer point in time or to other variables amply covered in wikipedia, they will start repeating mantra & stick their fingers in their ears.
Just saying that is what we are up against. If you say look at Switzerland it will hit their mind like water off a ducks back.

EXACTLY. The jackwagons showed up to blog here with their “walk away” or “vets are hostile” crap. Ignore them, it takes their power away.
This is ANOTHER example of what it’s like here in CA…dirty gang bass-terds have unregistered weapons, no carry permits, yet are heavily armed. But, when a law-abiding citizen tries to jump through the hoops to do it legally, it ALWAYS gets vetoed. You can‘t believe how many guns we can’t purchase in this state.
Sorry, but when I hear about the deeds of bad-guys, I get pissed and it triggers (pun intended) hostility towards the anti-gun activists.

With all of the military training, they are ideal Police officers. They are able to recognize a threat much quicker than someone with less training, and deal with it before the situation gets worse. As for being more aggressive, they may have a more Alpha male personality, but that is in fact what protects them in certain situations. Don’t let a few bad officers (which is very rare) affect how you view the whole Police force. Without them society would be lawless.

We don’t have all the facts, but the woman’s gang got out of the car first — and their armed friends were close by. Why did they specifically target Perez? Maybe they found out he was a war hero and went after him. Just conjecture, but it does seem strange.

Posted on August 9, 2012 at 6:42amFolks in the military tend to be more aggressive? Are you talking about the 2 or 3 that you personally know or have you spent some serious amount of time with large groups of them to come to your conclusion? I am sure you would answer to the former where as I can answer to the latter. I am a proud military wife and I spend about 75% of my time with active duty military members. The vast majority of these men and women would avoid violence unless given no other choice. They are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives and dear friends.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 2:36pmLife has risks that’s what makes it so fun. Sometimes when you go out drinking and fighting people get killed. I’ve been shot and been put in the ER from a couple other confrontations, thank God i’m alive. Now I‘m a little older I don’t put myself in these situations anymore. I haven’t been in a fist fight in probably two years. Moral of this story if you want to go out and be a bad ass be ready to die.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 2:57pmI learned many years ago that there is always someone bigger, meaner and tougher than I was so I stopped doing stupid.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 3:52pmLife has risks, but if you are going out and not looking for trouble and trouble arises, do you sit and do nothing or run and hide? If your friends are attacked do you leave them to their own devices or if you have the training do you step in. The problem in the country today is to many people not wanting to get involved. Forget your friends, neighbors and the rest of society as long as I got mine.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 2:34pmWho edits these stories? The handgun was pulled from the guy’s “waste.” I’m not even going to go there. It looked more like it was pulled from his waist to me.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 3:18pmJournalism and education in general have slid off a cliff.
Candidates we review cannot draft a simple business letter or email properly and nearly all news outlets feature stories with gross contextual and common spelling errors.
People no longer proof read, or have a reporting chain through which communications are routed.
Report Post »It’s evidence that we no longer have, or value standards. Everyone receives a trophy and we’re continually reminded to, “dumb it down.” I cannot recall the number of times I have heard that from senior leadership in various corporations. In my companies we have to continually assess our communications, because we know that no one will read them if they include more than two small paragraphs. Try explaining highly technical matters to people subject to such constraints. It’s challenging, to say the least.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 2:34pmIt pays not to hang around places where trouble can happen. There is enough of it all around, anyway. These people who kill our Americans are many times, already criminals from somewhere else who seems to not be looking too hard for them. Though an American territory, Puerto Ricans are not pro Americans in many cases. These people come here with an attitude and commit crimes and run back to the territory. They are over run with anti-American sentiment. These places like the Phillipeans, etc. are havens for terrorists, etc.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 2:45pmYa that gun jumped out and shot that man. We should melt it down and make some piece symbols and sing love songs.
Of course the illigal allien should be registered to vote, given food stamps and hud housing.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 2:45pmYa Gonzo they do but a popular saying on the street is “I’d rather get caught by the cops with my gun than get caught by my enemies with out it.” Laws are only followed by people who are scared of jail. Most criminals look at jail as a job hazard. Jail and prison is far too easy to scare hardened criminals.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 2:57pmYep, and the only people who obey them are law abiding citizens like Perez. Mutts like the POS that shot him feel no obligation to obey our laws. I would love to know what Castillo’s immigration status was at the time of this shooting.
My condolences go out to Stephen’s family and friends. He sounds like a kid with a vast amount of potential to do good in the world. We will never know now, thanks to some cowardly shitb*g.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 2:58pmThat shows you that gun control laws only affect those law-abiding citizens these gun grabbers claim to want to protect. Criminals don’t follow the laws, period.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 5:11pmLANDON410 He was shot in the back. Since when is getting in a fight a justification for murder. Yeah, throw them in the slammer for a night but kill them. Don’t blame this on the victim. Yeah he should have walked away but he is a young man full of testosterone and just did want came natural. Walking away was the choice he made in the end and the murderous coward still shot him in the back. There is one criminal involved and maybe a victim who made a poor choice. I guess as a victim of rape, the victim is to blame also.
