Rajaee Shareef Black, 44, videotaped himself on Saturday afternoon explaining: "
I did something crazy.
I just shot my ex-girlfriend in the head."
Then he published the video on social networks, where it was shared by several users, according to The Washington Post newspaper.
The police investigation indicates that the man filmed the video when he arrived at the home of his ex-wife, Wendy Black, in the city of Columbia, Maryland, after having driven 20 miles from his ex-girlfriend's house in Baltimore.
When he got to his ex-wife's house, their two young children sat in their parked gray BMW vehicle, according to police.
"
It felt like a dream.
I never thought I would become this type of man," Black said in the video posted on social media.
“I can't go to jail,
the person who started my depression and all of that is my ex-wife
, so she's next, and then I'm going to do it myself,” Black said in the video that “is being reviewed as part of an ongoing investigation, ”said Howard County Police spokeswoman Sherry Llewellyn.
