The video starts with Avery Samuels laying on a table being yelled at and slapped several times by a guy identified as ‘Camden’. Avery is drunk and cannot defend himself.
Rakim Warfield (19) see’s what’s happening and defended his friend. Another boy jumps in and grabs and knees Rakim from behind as others sit by laughing and recording.
The people at the party allegedly claimed Rakim was the aggressor and claimed he threatened them with a shǒt. Police searched his vehicle and home and no was ever found.
He was charged with 2 counts of 1st degree assault, 2 counts of 2nd degree assault, and 2 counts of reckless endangerment. According to his father, Rakim has been offered a 25 year sentence (all but 5 years suspended).
This video paints a completely different picture than the partygoers accounts of what happened.
His father posted the video in hopes that with more public support, his son could get justice. He also asks for prayers during this extremely difficult time for his family.
His father wrote ‘I didn’t wanna post this video but fck it is what it is this video is what they are holding my son for a fight when all he did was protect his homeboy matter of they wanna offer him 25yrs all suspended but 5yrs. There also trying to say he pull a shotgun out and threatened partygoer which is a lie because when the cops searched his car and my house they didn’t find a shotgun so it’s all a bunch of bullsh!t.’
Avery’s mother has stated her son tried to press charges against Camden but those charges were not picked up by the state. Now that they have the video she has sent it to the DA and hopes that charges can be brought against the true criminals in this situation.
This young man should be labeled a hero for standing up for his friend who could not defend himself, instead he is painted as the villain. This is unacceptable!
The case is being handled by the Carroll County state attorney’s office.
