Texas-born Fred Jay Bowdy, a 33-year-old father of six took his own life on Monday while driving in LA days after he was arrested for sexually assaulting a lady.

A family member who watched the suicide called the officials of Los Angeles Police Department who rushed to the scene.

“His voice. His pain. His tears. Everything he said. The sound of him pulling that trigger and hearing his blood pouring messed me up!. “I will NEVER forget that sound. Shook me to my core.”
The video was immediately removed from Facebook.
A gofundme page has been opened for his wife and children.
Sad! He just deprived his six kids the chance of having a father. Suicide is never a solution to a temporary problem.
Goodnyt.
