A Florida man convicted of murdering a teenage girl over Yeezy sneakers more than four years ago lunged at the family member of the victim in a courtroom ahead of his sentencing.
Adrian Cosby, 23, murdered 18-year-old high school senior Andrea Camps-Lacayo in April 2020. During Cosby's sentencing on Friday, Camps-Lacayo's father read a statement that set the murderer off.
"You are the epitome of evil and darkness that this world represents," Camps-Lacayo's father, identified as Alexander Camps in an online obituary, said, according to NBC Miami. "There's only one place animals like you belong, and that's in prison for the rest of your life."
"What the f--- you talking about b----," Â Cosby said, according to the Miami-Herald. The newspaper added that Cosby leaped from his chair, and that it took about six officers to restrain him.Â

Berben asked to see the payment first, at which point Cosby approached Berben's driver's side door, where he began shooting, striking both Camps-Lacayo and Berben, according to NBC Miami. Camps-Lacayo then died at a nearby hospital.
