An Arizona man who admitted to shooting his parents told responding police that he’d planned to do so for years because he was “upset over his upbringing,” and was disappointed that they both survived the attack, according to court documents. 

Jeremian Estel Blair, 19, faces two counts of first-degree premeditated murder, and is awaiting his May 22 court appearance in Maricopa County Jail on $750,000 bond, according to online records. 

Blair’s mother reportedly dialed 911 around 5:42 a.m. Monday, telling dispatchers that she and her husband had been shot by their son, according to the documents obtained by Fox 10 Phoenix.

“Officers arrived at the scene to find [Blair] waiting unarmed for officers in the driveway,” Chandler Police wrote in an incident report obtained by the outlet.

Both parents, whose names were redacted in court documents obtained by Fox 10, were taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition. One reportedly needed surgery. 

Blair quickly admitted to shooting his parents with his 9mm handgun, police wrote, and said he had hidden the gun in his bedroom closet and been “planning for years to kill [them].” He had considered other methods, he told police, but thought a firearm would be the most effective.

“[Blair] reported being upset over his upbringing and he felt he was not treated as he should have been as a child,” Chandler Police wrote. 

Initially, he told police, he planned to shoot his parents on Mother’s Day but changed his mind.

Blair set up a video camera in the kitchen around 1 a.m. and waited for his parents to get ready for work, AZ Family reported. 

As his father came down the stairs around 5:30 a.m., Blair told him that he “knew this day was coming” before allegedly firing, per the outlet. He struck his father in the forearm, according to AZ Central.

Blair allegedly shot his mother in the chest as she came down the stairs after hearing the commotion, the AZ Central reported. 

“Defendant showed remorse for the fact that his parents will live,” read court documents. “Defendant knew [his] actions [were] wrong, but still attempted to shoot and kill his parents.”

A Texas realtor out of Houston has leveraged a unique approach to removing squatters from properties, and it scored him a seat at a Senate hearing on Wednesday in Austin.

George Huntoon told Fox News Digital during a phone interview that, since 2020, he has handled four squatter situations in which he speaks directly to the occupants and uses a cover story to gain trust.

The first situation he assisted with was when he helped his friend remove squatters from her property, an instance he chronicled and posted to his YouTube channel. 

Since he posted the video in May 2022, Huntoon’s approach to squatter removal has gained a lot of traction, causing others to reach out to him for help while dealing with the same situations.

“Squatters have always kind of been a thing, obviously, but when I got called in on that very first one in 2020, I wasn’t expecting anything,” Huntoon told Fox News Digital. “Then that’s when I would start getting a few more phone calls about this situation.”

Huntoon calls his approach to dealing with squatters a “counterintuitive” one in which he puts himself in the position of being a “negotiator” with them.

During one of these squatter situations, which Huntoon calls the worst he has dealt with to date, involved a house on Murrayhill in west Houston. The house previously belonged to an elderly woman who moved into a nursing home. After squatters set up shop in the home, the woman’s extended family reached out to the realtor for help.

“I went over there and created a cover story that I was with, like the church or this organization down the road, and I was there to take a look at the house because we were going to try to fix it up for them a little bit to make it livable,” Huntoon said of the property he frequently visited between January and April 2023.

“I created that kind of cover story and so I could slowly build trust from these people in there, and that’s what happened,” he said. “It was a two-, three-month process, which was something like I’ve never seen. I became embedded in this house, daily or every other day.”

As someone the squatters spoke with often, Huntoon told Fox News Digital that he slowly started planting seeds that the police were on to the house, which he said was full of criminal activity.

“I kind of gained this trust, but it was a psychological game,” Huntoon said. “I was playing my games, they were playing theirs, but I slowly planted a seed that ‘Hey, I think the cops are really onto this place, guys.’”

In this particular scenario, the squatters slowly started to vacate the property, until there were just a few left, who were arrested.

In the squatter cases that Huntoon plays a hand in, he interacts directly with them while simultaneously going through the legal process to get them removed.

“We did go through the court process as well, in parallel to what I was doing, and we ended up getting the eviction, finally,” he said of the Murrayhill home. “But what I was able to avoid was some showdown between the police and them.”

“You have some professional squatters that are just horrible people, just gaming the system, and then you have some really poor homeless people looking for a roof over their head,” the realtor said. “You run a fine line of trying to be humane in certain circumstances as well, and I kind of took that approach here, and it was successful.”

With squatter issues consuming the country, Huntoon offered tips for homeowners to keep in mind when they are leaving their properties to help protect themselves.

“If you’re going to be away from this home, you absolutely need to be monitoring your home, whether it’s security cameras, alarm systems, neighbors, because if people go and move in, and no one says anything, and they can, they’ll fly under the radar, then that’s when problems start,” Huntoon said.

Also, befriend neighbors who can be your eyes and ears when you’re not around. Not knowing who your neighbors are, a very common circumstance today, is one reason Huntoon highlighted that messy squatter issues occur.

“In a lot of neighborhoods these days, and I see it as a realtor, people don’t know each other, you don’t know your neighbors, everyone’s so busy,” Huntoon said. “We’re all just busy and no one talks to anyone anymore.”

Huntoon told Fox News Digital in an email that it seems that Texas is serious about laws to make the process of dealing with squatters easier for homeowners.
