An Illinois man has confessed to killing his ex-girlfriend following a turbulent breakup. The victim’s mother revealed that the man was extremely possessive and made her daughter’s life unbearable because she was not giving him her undivided attention. Tragically, he shot the young woman in the neck, chest, shoulder, and hip.

Emmet Metzger, aged 27, has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in connection with the November 2023 killing of 24-year-old Alexis Maki. The incident occurred at their shared apartment in New Baden. The case was reported by local CBS affiliate KMOV and the Belleville News-Democrat.

Following the shooting, Metzger dialed 911 and confessed to his actions over the phone. The recording captured his moment of realization after committing the heinous crime.

“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.”
