Actor Adam DeVine revealed the chilling moment he and his wife, Chloe Bridges, saw a man “gunned down” outside their plush $2.6 million Hollywood mansion.
Appearing at a live taping of the “This Is Important” podcast Wednesday night, the “Pitch Perfect” star, 39, recalled seeing a man shot to death from across the road.
“This is a true scary thing that just happened. So across the street they were running this like crazy poker game, right?” DeVine told hosts Blake Anderson, Anders Holm and Kyle Newacheck.
“This is a true scary thing that just happened,” DeVine told the podcast hosts. Moment.co“People were rolling up in like Lamborghinis and Bentleys and Rolls-Royces and s–t and like old guys, who for sure f–k prostitutes and play cards,” he continued, according to the footage.
“And I see these dudes and it’s like fun to sit and watch, [so] me and my wife, we’re sitting up on our balcony, and like, this looks crazy.”
Warning the audience that “this is where it gets sad,” DeVine recalled when the man, later identified as 39-year-old Emil Lahaziel, suffered multiple gunshot wounds around 2 a.m.
“Someone was murdered there,” “The Intern” actor said, adding, “Someone was murdered.”
“Yeah, dude, I called that s–t, I called that s–t. I was like ‘This is dastardly s–t going down here’ and sure enough, someone is gunned down,” he said.
The podcast hosts appeared to be taken aback by DeVine’s recollection, with Newacheck calling the situation “sad” before Holm added, “Yeah, a real person, no longer with us.”
