During his sentencing hearing in a Florida courtroom Friday, a convicted murderer was seen attempting to attack the father of a teen he killed over a pair of Yeezy sneakers. 
Adrian Crosby, 23, was found guilty on Friday and sentenced to life in prison in for fatally shooting Andrea Camps Lacayo, 18, in April 2020 after Crosby and an accomplice lured the victim to a fake shoe exchange, that turned violent in the southwest of Miami-Dade County, Florida.
As Alex Camps in his victim impact statement, addressed his daughter’s killer an ‘animal’ and ‘monster’, Crosby cursed and suddenly lunged towards Camps. 
Several Miami-Dade correctional officers jumped in to restrain Crosby before dragging him out of the courtroom, while the slain girl’s family also had to be held back from the murderer. 
‘You are the epitome of evil and darkness that this world represents,’ the father told Crosby.
‘There’s only one place animals like you belong, and that’s in prison for the rest of your life.

Andrea Camps Lacayo, [photo], was fatally shot on April 7, 2020. Lacayo and her boyfriend Sergio Berben met with George Walton in Homestead, Florida to sell a pair of Yeezy sneakers. The bogus buyer’s co-conspirator Andrea Crosby suddenly shot the couple during the exchange 

Adding, ‘This court today confirmed once again that truth that we all seek – the truth that you are a fool, a liar, and a monster for what you did not only to Andrea but our whole entire family and friends’.
Crosby then angrily responded: ‘What the f*** you talking about b****?’ as he stood up, lunging toward his victim’s grieving family. 
Four years ago at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, 18-year-old high school senior Andrea Camps Lacayo and her boyfriend, Sergio Berben, on Instagram set up an exchange with George Walton, 19, as they hoped to sell three pairs of Adidas Yeezy sneakers, launched by rapper Kanye West for $935. 
The couple met Walton as agreed on April 7, 2020, outside an abandoned home in Homestead, Miami-Dade.

George Walton [right] ‘wanted to try the shoes on before showing proof of purchase’. Berben refused, then Andrea Crosby, [left], approached and opened fire, before the fake buyers drove off. Both 23-year-olds have been convicted for first-degree and sentenced to life in prison 

Walton asked the young couple if he could try on the expensive shoes but Berben insisted that he show proof of payment first, according to an arrest report.
Crosby then approached Berben’s vehicle on the driver’s side and opened fire on the couple sitting inside. 
Camps Locayo was shot at least once in her torso while Berben was grazed in the arm by a bullet. 
Berben then frantically drove off before pulling over on the side of the road, where he realized his girlfriend was dying.

By the time first responders arrived, they found Camps Locayo fading in and out of consciousness, the outlet reported. 
The injured pair were rushed to Jackson South Medical Center, where Camps Lacayo died in surgery.
Both Walton and Crosby were arrested and put on trial for her murder. 
Even though Walton was not the trigger man, he was convicted of first-degree murder and attempted murder in February.
A judge also sentenced him to life behind bars. 


Crosby’s trial kicked off on Tuesday, and by Friday he was found guilty of first-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder and attempted robbery with a deadly weapon.
During the emotional trial, Berben told jurors: ‘He shot and killed my girlfriend and tried to kill me as well.’ 
Miami-Dade Police Sgt. Jenna Parmenter also testified and recalled the moment the young woman asked ‘if she was going to OK.’ 
‘She faded back out and closed her eyes,’ Parmenter said.

After the courtroom outburst, Crosby was brought back inside without Camps Lacayo’s family,  where he was handed two life sentences by Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Miguel M. De la O.
The murderer was also given a concurrent 25-year sentence for the attempted robbery conviction.
On Saturday, the victim’s father took to Facebook to share his thoughts on his daughter getting justice years after her death. 
‘Today we put behind bars for life the murderer of our daughter Andrea. Even today as I write these words I can’t believe that this has happened to such a sweet innocent soul.
‘This is not a win because it still doesn’t take away the pain nor does it bring our daughter back to us. What we can do now is heal from all the pain and suffering this has caused. We love you Andrea and we will always keep your spirit and memory alive. RIP,’ he wrote. 
Camps Lacayo was a senior and the captain of her high school dance team.
