Teen Kills Mother, Shoots Her Boyfriend in Riverview, FL

A 14-year-old boy is accused of shooting and killing his mother, and shooting his mother’s boyfriend five times, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.

Detectives arrested the suspect involved in shooting two people, one of them fatal, Saturday afternoon. Adeem Berry, 14, is facing felony charges of Murder in the Second Degree With a Weapon, Attempted Murder in the First Degree Premeditated Firearm – Discharge, and Aggravated Assault With Deadly Weapon.

HCSO is also releasing body-worn camera footage of the tense moments when deputies contacted Berry, as he threatened to take his own life with a gun. That video is available to the media in this press release.

“It is incredible to see the deputies in this video remain calm, build a rapport with the young suspect, and talk him down from hurting himself or anyone else,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “This is a testament to the deputies’ training and knowledge and use of the deescalation tools they’ve been given. They work, and they save lives.”

The second victim taken to the hospital in critical condition Saturday night is now stable.
