An Illinois man has admitted to gunning down his ex-girlfriend after a bad breakup, with the victim’s mother saying he was “very jealous of her not spending all of her time with him” and “making her life miserable” before shooting her in the neck, chest, shoulder and hip.
Emmet Metzger, 27, pleaded guilty this week to a charge of first-degree murder for the November 2023 slaying of Alexis Maki, 24, at the apartment they shared in New Baden, according to local CBS affiliate KMOV and the Belleville News-Democrat.
Recordings of the 911 call that Metzger placed after shooting Maki feature a phone confession from him that was made after he realized what he had done.
“I f—ed up,” Metzger told a dispatcher, according to KMOV and the News-Democrat. “I did something so bad. I shot my girlfriend. I need to be arrested, please.”
