- The perils of social media: Teen admits to murder in Snapchat video
There’s no shortage of young people getting in trouble on social media, but 17-year-old Anthony Mendoza took it to a new extreme. Mendoza confessed to the murder of his friend, 16-year-old Christian Bandemer, in a Snapchat video sent from the back of a police squad car after his arrest, according to prosecutors. “I killed Chris and now I’m going to kill myself,” Mendoza allegedly said in the video.
