A man allegedly killed his 25-year-old girlfriend and her mother before filming himself screaming 'I'm sorry' and turning the gun on himself during a standoff with SWAT in Texas over the weekend.
Police have not released the identities of anyone involved but the victims have been identified on social media as Marietta Matthews, 25, and her mother Tamiko Merriwether, 55.
The suspect is alleged to be her boyfriend Nathan Rashad James, 24.
'Oh my God, bro. Oh my God,' the man believed to be James says at the start of the video.

James was seen yelling screaming 'I'm sorry' in a shocking graphic video filmed after the attack
He continues: 'This s**t is crazy, dog. This s**t is crazy, dog. This shit is crazier than a motherf***ker dog.'
The man then pans the camera to show Merriwether's body still breathing slumped on the coach, which is covered in blood, as she grips her phone.
'Oh, she's here! Call 911 again, somehow she's still breathing!' he says to his viewers.
The man then walks over to his dead girlfriend's body lying in a pool of blood as he calls out to her, 'Baby!'
In another part of the video, the weapon is seen on the couch next to Merriwether's body as James shouts: 'I had to protect my life, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.'

When SWAT arrived to the scene, they made 'several' attempts to get the suspect to surrender before entering the complex around 7pm.
Upon entry, the officers found two women and one man dead from gunshot wounds.
Authorities said 'it does not appear that any officers discharged their weapons, nor were there any officers injured'.
Police did not confirm whether the suspect is the male who was found dead inside the apartment.
In an Instagram post, Matthews was identified as an alumnae of University of Central Missouri. She and her mom were reportedly shot with a semi-automatic shot gun.
Their killer then filmed himself on Instagram Live, screaming and pacing up and down, yelling he was sorry and that 'he tried to leave'.
A portion of the video appears to show the suspect holding a weapon as he walked around the room.
James' body was later found by police, alongside both Matthews, when they breached the apartment.
When DailyMail.com reached out to Dallas police, they said no other information was immediately available and that authorities are still investigating the shootings.
