The document says Dean texted a friend, saying, “Something Finna go down wait till you use my knuckles after,” and “I’m Finna let all my anger out.”
When his girlfriend arrived, Dean reportedly began punching her in the face and the body, breaking her teeth, nose and orbital bone and even recorded the aftermath of the assault, including his knuckles.
Law enforcement said the recording showed the woman on the floor, unconscious and gasping for air.
The criminal complaint also said Dean asked his friend to help him dispose of the body because he thought the woman had died when she stopped gasping for air.
