Suspect in cop killings made threats on Facebook Live

Authorities in central Florida issued a warning last month about a man who appeared in a Facebook Live video threatening to kill police officers — and that same man was arrested last week in the deaths of two officers.

A memo released Tuesday by Orlando police says Everett Miller said in the video, “If this cop comes out with his gun, I’m going to shoot me a cop.”

Orlando police issued the “officer safety/situational awareness” memo last month after they learned of the post and they notified the sheriff ’s office in Orange County, where Miller lived.

The memo says the context of the video is unknown.

Authorities say Miller last week fatally shot Kissimmee Police Officer Matthew Baxter and Sgt. Sam Howard. Miller is charged with first degree murder in the death of Baxter. Authorities have not said what charges he could face for Sgt. Sam Howard’s death.

According to an arrest affidavit released Monday, Miller shouted “I’m innocent” and “I didn’t do it, I’m a veteran” when he was arrested in a bar a few hours after the fatal shootings on Friday.

Deputies who arrested him said he appeared to reach for a weapon in his waistband before he was subdued. They found two handguns on him, including a revolver which had six spent casings, according to the affidavit.
