A WOMAN claims she went on a first date with a murderer that was featured on The First 48 show, revealing he was arrested for the crime a day later.
The woman explained her wild experience in a conversation about "worst dates ever."
In the thread, the Redditor said the man allegedly killed someone a day before their date, saying she had "no idea he was violent."
"He ended up on the First 48 cause he shot into a house, like from the front yard, and killed someone during a fight over money," the woman wrote.
"This happened on like a Friday, we went out on Saturday (had a great time too, had no idea he was any kind of violent or anything) and the cops got him on Sunday.
"There’s a whole episode about it, it’s crazy chilling to think I crossed paths with him."
The woman said her date was featured in the Blind Rage/Those Closest To Us episode of the show, "He was the blind rage guy. It was totally crazy!" she wrote.
The episode features detectives working to solve the June 2009 murder of 28-year-old Marco Tyler, who was shot inside his home in Birmingham.
