This happened at Texas Tech University and I was a sophomore when this happened. I remember this event so vividly as there was a full campus lockdown for an active shooter. I randomly came across this video and I had no idea this is what actually happened. Also, just wanted to point out that this kid was extremely privileged, drives a BMW and also lived in the most expensive dorms on campus (I can tell by the hallways). We had several memorials on campus and at the football game. Rest in peace. 💙
"Privileged" is a racist term at this point and you're part of the problem. You yourself are "privileged" by going to university in a country where most people cant afford to. And dont give me the "you just pay it back after" because thats not realistic for most people. Realistic. Reality... check into it.
I know why. There were two officers in the room. They never took their eyes off of him. And you can tell they damn near stripped searched him. But they were trying to make him comfortable so they could get a confession. That confession is all they wanted. Edit. Come to think of it, they might have wanted him to try something so they could take care of him right there lol
This is a case of bad police work. They had multiple calls and run ins with this guy and fail to properly search him at every turn. This could have been completely avoided.
I've seen other videos of other arresting officers failing to do a better pat down, causing their partners at interrogation rooms or other officers nearby to be killed. Half ass job, getting too confident with your daily duty at work.
What’s chilling about the shooting is how Hollis casually asked the officer “How many kids at home” knowing the officer had family that cared about him… but Hollis didn’t care and only cared about himself. Unbelievably sad.
Notice how after taking the officer's life, he can only manage to talk about himself. His only concern is how it is going to affect him. A genuine psychopath.
Came to say the same thing. Not even a single bit of true remorse. He was just upset that he'd been caught. He even almost said he thought he could.....and trailed off. Mofo almost said he thought he could get away with it. He genuinely didn't care about what he'd done
His parents are idiots apologising to him for him murdering an innocent family man, and saying they love him and it is okay as if he is innocent or a victim. He is not sorry, he is a manipulator.
it’s probably the shock of never really seeing him again after this moment that’s speaking first. They are his parents after all. With time they’ll obviously see this the same way we do, and feel the same. Or so I hope at least lol
The way his "dad" talked to him tells you everything you need to know. This guy was never held accountable for his actions. No way was this the first time he did sketchy stuff.. and his parents were either too blind to see it or unwilling to sanction him. The guy is obviously psychopathic, i.e. has anti social personality disorder... so perhaps he would have done something like this eventually. But "dad" calling his son "honey" and apologising is just so off. I think "dad" may have been a trans-"man".😂
@@anaccount7923his dad sounded worried about his “little boy” it’s easy to see him how we do, a psychopath; but for his father, that’s his little boy no matter what horrific things he did. unconditional love is just that, unconditional..
Imagine getting so lucky not getting caught with a gun, and a good chance he could have walked out of the police station with no incident. Instead he decided to take a police officer’s life and throw everything away.

When i was 16, i was on probabation and i was really addicted to drugs. I had failed multiple test, and my probabation officer told me i would get locked up for a bit. Me and my mom walked over to the police station across the street from the courthouse. We were waiting for someone to turn myself in. I went to the bathroom and i cried becasue of how badly i didnt want tot go back. I had served 3 months already for the initial charge that put me on probabtion, and it was the worst experience of my life. Going back scared me more than anything in the world. So i convinced my po to let my mom take me to the store so i could get a shave, and stop by a fast food place to get a final meal before i go. This was all just a ploy though. I walked into the front of a Mcdonalds and out the back, and kept walking. I had plans to leave the state and start a new life, but obviously the whole idea was illogical. But i was terrified of being locked up, and would do anything to stay free. I can understand what was going through this guys head. The fear of losing your freedom consumes you, and makes you act irrationally. The worst part of being locked up is not the cell, not the food, or anything like that. Its not even the time you lose. Its the complete loss of freedom and choice. Its having to ask permission to use the bathroom or get a drink of water. Youre not a person anymore, you are an animal in a zoo. Its a very claustrophobic feeling, being trapped. Humans will do anything to escape captivity.
Cmon, its his dad, what do you think parent would say? It doesnt have to even be what he thinks And it was just as he learned his good son has suddenly drug and killing charges, he is not able to process anything, he said he was shaking having problem with driving. I have 0 empathy for the kid but you are stupid assuming that based on what his dad said. For every parent who love their kids first reaction would ",its gonna be okay, its not your fault" And also its not your fault does not equal you didnt do this act.

These cowardly enablers are complicit in the crimes of their children.
Believe me if I do something like that my parents will be not so nice to me they will be looking for me to beat the hell out of me and instead of telling me they love me they will tell me how disappointed they are and I am an embarrassment and a bad person I he kill someone they talk to him like he was the victim shame the parents are the problem

@@MrNoNoNo718 Holding a psychopath acountable does absolutely nothing to them. Psychopaths often get into trouble growing up but "being told no" has zero effect on people like that. They have no impulse control, no remorse, no empathy.
To me, someone who calls their parents by their name already sends red flags to me. Kid doesn’t care, only worried about himself. I pray he knows he really messed up and asks for forgiveness because damn that was cold blooded without a though and even to ask about his family. May he be resting in peace and peace to the family.
They didn't deem him as a threat and didn't search him properly, even after he killed the cop still not cuffed in the station. It's clear why he's giving so much opportunity.

This is honestly one of the most confusing true crime videos ive watched (and ive watched a lot), this kid seems bright and charismatic, he clearly loves his parents and fully understands how his actions will affect them, he’s conscious that his actions will affect his education, he got away with the hiding the gun and was only going to be charged for drugs, he even asked the officer if he had kids to which he replied yes, and after ALL of that he still chose to do what he did, truly baffling. RIP to that officer.
The way his dad spoke to him on the phone, calling him "honey" and "sweety" tells you exactly what type of sheltered home this killer come from.... Parenting is everything..
Major credit to the second batch of detectives who calmly listened and worked the case instead of giving in to their emotions on losing a fellow cop to this guy.
Yeah I really can’t imagine how devastated and angry they were in those moments. Absolutely heart shattering. The way that some people treat human life as if it has no value is beyond my comprehension.

Loved this video and love this channel!
Had the officer said his kids were toddlers or babies, there´s 50/50 chance he wouldnt have shot him. When he acknowledged they were grown ups the shooter felt there wasnt so much harm done for them to be without papa
@@Vicmot Empathy is not shooting anyone to save your own sorry ass, empathy is not destroying families regardless of their ages. I am 32 and would be destroyed if my dad was murdered. Boy was a self centred psycho using reverse psychology on the interviewing cops to gain some form of sympathy.
He asked him if his kids were old because they didnt "need him" if they were old . Cold blooded. You can tell when he has his hands on his face hes actively making rhe decision . He knows he has the gun on him.. he knows he has limited opportunity for that gun to tip the odds for him . Cold. Blooded
Just to inform everyone, the reason this murderer asked about the police officers kids and how old they are was to distract him for long enough to draw his weapon, chamber a round, and take the shot. This is a well calculated dangerous individual, capable of manipulating others to catch them off guard and take control of the situation.
@Look_What_You_Did Not sure what you are arguing about, but if you are Theorizing he was deciding whether or not to kill him, he already had his pistol drawn with his hand on the slide, and had committed and was in the commission of a felony. Which warrants you, me, or anyone to stop him from killing you, me, or anyone else. Why does it warrant that? Because statistics and all evidence in this demonstrates an individual who is armed and dangerous, and is holding a side arm he stole... Just a heads up, when someone steals a pistol, they are going to use it for a crime. So before you say some childish comment like "says you," think before you speak because one only speaks if one knows, and you have a lot to learn.
You're 1000% wrong the dude LITERALLY told us in the video...I love when people think they know EXACTLY what they're talking about. I mean we're you there...did Hollis tell you himself...no not at all, speculating ass
Hollis in his OWN words, last 3 minutes of the video verbatim. " Hollis asked the officer about his kids because he wanted that to be the last thing he thought of" not whatever dumb shit you just said
I don't believe for a second that he felt any remorse, or that he was shutting down at any point. He was too polite, even when he made the plan to kill that officer. He was cold and calulated. Not buying any of it.
This is an over extension. He was charged. Justice was served. Like theyll literally look at the paperwork and be like oh his life sentence is complete and hes 57? Yeah well its 2050 and we can make a new reason to just keep him there. Theres not gonna be an appeal process for the cold murder of a cop. Lol
@@sthembisonkomo4231You can't trust American Leftists who are in power. They are the most ruthless, self-serving people on the planet. Destroying the country can include dumping our prisons, by letting out violent criminals onto our streets.
Hollis is a psychopath. And the scary thing is that there are hundreds of thousands of people walking around, given the same circumstances, would do the same thing. Life is a video game to them. No consequences.
No, there is not "hundreds of thousands walking around." Unless you mean spread out across the world, in which case, of course there is. But the likelihood of it happening is incredibly slim in anyones circumstance. The world is a lot more optimistic than mobbers would have you believe. There's way more good people than bad
Id also like to say that Holis is not a psychopath and psychopathy isn't common, and psychopathy doesn't automatically cause someone to be a murderer. They're usually successful businessmen, CEOs, etc. Psychopaths always being a murderer is a myth. If you meant sociopath then I'd agree that most of them are violent but most of them aren't murderers and they almost always end up in jail for strings of violent crimes, sociopathy is not common as well.
There’s interesting studies worth looking up. Going back to genetics and how having a psychopath within a tribe would be beneficial to the tribes protection however they would be outcasted by the tribe and more than likely unable to survive on their own. In today’s society, these people can move around easily and change towns to disappear if outcasted. Not to mention social media giving them even more of a mask to hide behind. It’s scary.
The amount of privilege this kid was awarded even after killing a cop is ridiculous they still took his cuffs off and let him call his parents like they just chillin like forget the cop that passed. This is crazy!

If he dropped the gun down on the floor at his feet, and his hands were always cuffed behind his back, how the hell was he able to pick up the gun and put it back on his body??
It is texas. I wouldn't mind if the U.S. traded it for mexico building the border wall the MAGA's cry about. You'll see how fast they'll change their minds about the south being able to part ways with the Union.

Back when we were kids, my dad would call my brother and I “princess” when he was saying goodnight. He cut it out pretty quickly after we started responding by calling him “Queeny” lol
Creepy, super protective fathers do it. I've seen some of my friends when I was younger get called that from their dad's. All those friends ended up as homeless drug addicts because Daddy babied them too much and they had the life experience of a 6 year old into their mid twenties.

You can tell by his fathers reaction, that this kid isn't used to facing consequences. Mental health issues, drugs, and bad parenting led to this. Now a family has lost its father. Disgusting.
Can't believe someone suspected of stealing and/or discharging a firearm was not only frisked poorly, but uncuffed and sat with no one actively watching him by a single officer who was unfortunately trying to enter the report into the system. Gotta love how he was given literally every opportunity to show some real remorse and only worried about himself. As others comments have stated, definitely some psychopathy in this chunk of ice.....

@wetsaw2940 that kind of depends on your belief system. My belief on this is if he were to *truly* have a change of heart and follow jesus, then even this atrocity could be forgiven, allowing him into heaven. Because based off of what I know of the bible, after salvation it doesn’t matter if you sin again. that would defeat the point of salvation because we are guaranteed to sin again even after salvation. TLDR: My point is basically (from my belief and what i know of the bible) whether you go to heaven or hell is determined by whether you truly believe in god or not; it’s not determined by what you do
I have a friend that served for a short time in law enforcement. He had someone alone that was supposed to have been properly searched. He got a weird premonition, and searched him before questioning him. He found a shank where the man in this video had his pistol. He retrieved the shank, locked the guy in the room, went in where the officer was that claimed he properly searched him, and claimed the detained was clean of any weapons. He asked the officer "So you properly searched so and so?", and they claimed "Yep". My friend slammed the shank on the table and yelled "What is this, then???"....This is just a true story for every officer that might be reading this, and have watched this horrible video. Please do not put your trust in another officer in a detainment situation where you and a suspect are alone with each other. It's not that your fellow officers are intentionally trying to throw you right under the bus, but they are human, and all it takes is one time where a fellow officer isn't quite on their game that you put your trust in, and the result could very well be what is shown in this video. This is a very hard video to watch for me.
The way he asked about his family right before killing him and knowing he had kids didnt make him hesitate a bit. Thats a psycho in my opinon.
He said he wanted to give him something good to think about in his final thoughts, his family. No malintent here
He wanted to know if he had small children, but they were adults. As a psycho, he may have thought for a second that if they were small he may have spared him. But who really knows? Scary
In his messed up mind if they would have been little kids he would have not killed Jim but since they were older adults he didn’t mind

1. Improper search
2. Handcuffing to the front of the body
3. Taking your attention off the suspect

I'm so glad you omitted the word "Xanax". The horror.
Notice how after taking the officer's life, he can only manage to talk about himself. His only concern is how it is going to affect him. A genuine psychopath.
I would think he’s more of an egotistical sociopath
Yeah he has a bizarre disconnect from reality
Came to say the same thing. Not even a single bit of true remorse. He was just upset that he'd been caught. He even almost said he thought he could.....and trailed off. Mofo almost said he thought he could get away with it. He genuinely didn't care about what he'd done
He wouldn’t be qualified as either a psychopath or a sociopath. He definitely has some traits of narcissistic personality disorder though.
Xanax can cause a rage reaction.

His parents are idiots apologising to him for him murdering an innocent family man, and saying they love him and it is okay as if he is innocent or a victim. He is not sorry, he is a manipulator.
I figured they didn't know until after
it’s probably the shock of never really seeing him again after this moment that’s speaking first. They are his parents after all. With time they’ll obviously see this the same way we do, and feel the same. Or so I hope at least lol
The way his "dad" talked to him tells you everything you need to know. This guy was never held accountable for his actions. No way was this the first time he did sketchy stuff.. and his parents were either too blind to see it or unwilling to sanction him. The guy is obviously psychopathic, i.e. has anti social personality disorder... so perhaps he would have done something like this eventually. But "dad" calling his son "honey" and apologising is just so off. I think "dad" may have been a trans-"man".😂

When i was 16, i was on probabation and i was really addicted to drugs. I had failed multiple test, and my probabation officer told me i would get locked up for a bit. Me and my mom walked over to the police station across the street from the courthouse. We were waiting for someone to turn myself in. I went to the bathroom and i cried becasue of how badly i didnt want tot go back. I had served 3 months already for the initial charge that put me on probabtion, and it was the worst experience of my life. Going back scared me more than anything in the world. So i convinced my po to let my mom take me to the store so i could get a shave, and stop by a fast food place to get a final meal before i go. This was all just a ploy though. I walked into the front of a Mcdonalds and out the back, and kept walking. I had plans to leave the state and start a new life, but obviously the whole idea was illogical. But i was terrified of being locked up, and would do anything to stay free. I can understand what was going through this guys head. The fear of losing your freedom consumes you, and makes you act irrationally. The worst part of being locked up is not the cell, not the food, or anything like that. Its not even the time you lose. Its the complete loss of freedom and choice. Its having to ask permission to use the bathroom or get a drink of water. Youre not a person anymore, you are an animal in a zoo. Its a very claustrophobic feeling, being trapped. Humans will do anything to escape captivity.

Does everything have to be about race? Profiling is way more than that. In this case he probably fooled the police with his attitude and his manners
@@jorgeguerra1715 uhm...oftentimes, minorities dont get this level of grace despite being polite and cooporating. So yes, THIS CAN BE ABOUT RACE.
@@jorgeguerra1715everything doesn’t have to be about race but you’ll be dense to honestly believe that him being white isn’t a huge factor on why he was able to commit this crime
Rest in peace Floyd East Jr, thank you for your service.
When stereotyping goes wrong 💨 thought he was ya buddy lol

yep yt tears 😂

@@jwallace6158this is a morbid comment you should be ashamed
Psycho. You can tell by the way he is so calm when he got caught and only talks about HIS future. Never about the victim and his family.
People keep blaming the xanax...I have had plenty of "things" in my lifetime, and I never once felt compelled to do anything more than chill on my couch, much less harm anyone else. The kid is just a psycho, pure and simple.
*That entire department should be held accountable*
every single person that had contact with him could have done a better search. . .
Imagine if they didnt try to book him for a little xanax and weed
@@Harlza23 imagine if they properly searched him LIKE THEY ARE TRAINED TO DO
@@Harlza23 Then there would be a psychopath with a gun running around.
Ofcourse. But im just saying.
Pat down poorly done, outcome was avoidable.
Truly horrifying 😢
"Get some new friends," as he let a murderer/psychopath go.
He wasn't a murderer at the time
@@riffhammeron wouldn't be so sure. At one point he says to his dad "sorry for.brinhing this disrespect on are family..... Again"
@@ReggaeRemake Does your brain seriously goto murder over that? That's so crazy. You would have to miss so many things to even come to that conclusion
@@ReggaeRemakeI think it’s his possible 2 felonies before, he said he was on his third strike so that’s brings shame no?
This is the REAL 2 tier justice system. I cannot believe a person that was involved in a situation that a gun may have been utilized is treated so casually.
Because he’s whiteeeeee
The dad calling Son Honey
That whole family aint okay 😂
I thought he said "sonney" not "honey" lol you're right that whole family is all kinds of wrong.
@@stevepalpatine2828 😂😂
@@stevepalpatine2828i heard honey😂😂
Came here for this comment thank you. Also what the absolute heck
@@stevepalpatine2828I thought his moms voice was deep as hell into he called him dad
I was still a researcher at Texas Tech when this happened and I totally remember when they sent everybody an email and locked down the school but they didn’t tell anyone what actually happened. they just said there is an armed student. It’s crazy to see what actually happened on UA-cam now.
Crazy seeing him wear a TTU hat. Never heard of this story!
I know right! Not even 20 seconds in this felt so familiar. I remember when this happened. I was at work and talking with the people I knew who was locked down on campus. It's so cool to be able to see the actual footage and what happened, I have only heard bits and pieces of the story.
Never heard a dad call his son honey
Back when we were kids, my dad would call my brother and I “princess” when he was saying goodnight. He cut it out pretty quickly after we started responding by calling him “Queeny” lol
One of my childhood friends dad used to call him and his bros honey. I thought it was the weirdest ish ever
@@TheJoemerkI’m cryin 😂😂
@@GofrozeI’m glad my almost-forgotten tale from childhood could bring you a little bit of entertainment lol
Creepy, super protective fathers do it. I've seen some of my friends when I was younger get called that from their dad's. All those friends ended up as homeless drug addicts because Daddy babied them too much and they had the life experience of a 6 year old into their mid twenties.
No difference in this case with father of the year over there apologizing to his son for the heinous crime his son just committed.
Great .... Now my taxes are feeding him and giving him a free bed for 60 plus years .... SMH
Amazing that they can’t say Xanax, but they can say Glock.
This is just so sad all the way around. I hope the PD made every officer go through training again!
RIP Officer 💙
It’s TTU campus police, they hardly deal with people like this. I work at the university also and it’s usually drunk college students they mostly deal with.
I once spent 30 days on a mental hospital against my will for threatning others, but it helped me see life in a positive way and im a changed man
What helped you change your perspective? Genuinely curious!
@@savannah9319 i was doing something doing nofap where i wouldnt masturbate for years so in my mind i used to feel delusions, i was always in a terrible mood, felt with more power than others and felt that i could kill others bc i had the power, when i got out i just knew i didnt want to go back to that place, and i understood how important is respect
@savannah9319 raped by the guards
I had similar experience but for months, they electrecuted me frequently and i was all tied up during most of my stay in there, now im a changed man feeling so pure!@@savannah9319

That poor cop. The Lord bless and care for his widow and children
His father calling him honey? I'm officially creeped out now. 😱
Tell me you’re not from the South without telling me you’re not from the South.
Your not a dad
Bi
That’s no honey
No dad call their son honey periodt. That's some fruit cake ish
thats wild man, the fact they didnt even search him that well...
I don’t know how the 3 questions he asked could been seen as anything BUT psychopathic.
I dont wanna put the racial card up, but they would NEVER EVER be so freaking nice to somebody who is not white that just shot their college....makes me mad that they are so nice to him
Asking him about his family before is wild. Makes me very angry
No, not searching an innocent wyt looking boy made me angry.
Proper scumbag innit
“It was illogical”, “made no sense”, “I messed up”, “solid proof”
All of his statements were logical about what his path will become. No empathy; no feelings, no remorse, barely any display of regret. Just “poor choice”. It’s not chess; this is Life.
He's on Xanax.... yall are clowns
You can tell by his fathers reaction, that this kid isn't used to facing consequences. Mental health issues, drugs, and bad parenting led to this. Now a family has lost its father. Disgusting.
Spoiled children don't typically commit cold-blooded murder. This guy appears to be a psychopath.
I don't know how anyone could draw that conclusion from a short call. I didn't get that feeling at all.
The killers dad pissed me off the most, you're son killed a man and you say "oh honey, im so sorry"
Can't believe someone suspected of stealing and/or discharging a firearm was not only frisked poorly, but uncuffed and sat with no one actively watching him by a single officer who was unfortunately trying to enter the report into the system.
Gotta love how he was given literally every opportunity to show some real remorse and only worried about himself. As others comments have stated, definitely some psychopathy in this chunk of ice.....
makes me sick he can talk casually with his parents like nothing happened
This guy makes me ashamed to be a human
@real100talk5that should make it worse. U think he don’t know his son? Taught him everything? U ever see Dexter?
Could be genetic. His parents were just casually talking to him too as well
How else ate they suppose to talk... like flailing maniacs just cause something crazy happened doesn't mean everyone's going to loss their mind over it...
@@cclarksonable It the second time he says it that gets me. "I'm sorry I brought this disrespect to my family again." SIR WHAT DO YOU MEAN AGAIN??? that mixed with his family speaking to him so calmly? tells me he did something like this before and it was covered up.
Not a teen, that a grown ass man.
Nineteen sound it out he is still a kid in my eyes just out of highschool
His dad calls him honey...so idk
Technically a teen but legally an adult
@@Crakbby bruh no that's at most 4 semesters in university not a kid anymore
How is nineTEEN technically not a teenager?.
A dad who calls his son honey, would have a spoiled and undisciplined kid like that.
Its crazy that family members still support people when they do stuff like this. My mom would disowned me seeing me ask a man about his family before killing him. Such a Coward
They are also probably equally f-ed up in the head as their son.
That means you ain't the favorite 💀😂
She might disown you, but as a parent I can assure you she wouldn't stop loving you. Until you have kids of your own and are in this kinda position, you don't know how you'd feel. Neither do I, and I hope to never find out.
No she wouldn't. You know that. Sounds kool though.
LGBTQ community be like that. I would imagine having them for parents would mess up a child, especially on right/wrong situations.
a felony leading up to 80 days turned into life in prison🤣
Biggest idiot of all time
And eternity in hell maybe
@wetsaw2940 that kind of depends on your belief system. My belief on this is if he were to *truly* have a change of heart and follow jesus, then even this atrocity could be forgiven, allowing him into heaven. Because based off of what I know of the bible, after salvation it doesn’t matter if you sin again. that would defeat the point of salvation because we are guaranteed to sin again even after salvation.
TLDR: My point is basically (from my belief and what i know of the bible) whether you go to heaven or hell is determined by whether you truly believe in god or not; it’s not determined by what you do
Typical
@@wetsaw2940 nah that's all just a story.
I have a friend that served for a short time in law enforcement. He had someone alone that was supposed to have been properly searched. He got a weird premonition, and searched him before questioning him. He found a shank where the man in this video had his pistol. He retrieved the shank, locked the guy in the room, went in where the officer was that claimed he properly searched him, and claimed the detained was clean of any weapons. He asked the officer "So you properly searched so and so?", and they claimed "Yep". My friend slammed the shank on the table and yelled "What is this, then???"....This is just a true story for every officer that might be reading this, and have watched this horrible video. Please do not put your trust in another officer in a detainment situation where you and a suspect are alone with each other. It's not that your fellow officers are intentionally trying to throw you right under the bus, but they are human, and all it takes is one time where a fellow officer isn't quite on their game that you put your trust in, and the result could very well be what is shown in this video. This is a very hard video to watch for me.
reason why police officers check your ankles
