But Mark Cardilli Sr. saw Muse come to the house around 10 p.m. on a surveillance camera outside the house. The family confronted Muse, but the parents eventually agreed Muse could stay until 1 a.m.
Mark Cardilli Sr. asked his son to check on Muse at that time. At 1 a.m., Chelsey Cardilli told her brother that their father had given Muse permission to stay overnight. Cardilli checked with his father, who told him that was not true. Cardilli and his mother confronted Muse, and he refused to leave. The argument escalated, and Mark Cardilli Sr. told police that he heard his wife say their daughter punched her. He joined the confrontation and tried to physically remove Muse from his daughter’s bedroom.
The affidavit then describes a physical and verbal confrontation among the five people in the house.
“Mark Sr. and Mark Jr. continued to try to make Isahak leave the house while Isahak refused and Chelsey punched and scratched her father and brother,” Tully wrote.
The mother, Suzanne Cardilli, tried to call 911. When her phone did not work, she went to a neighbor’s house and asked them to call 911 because there was a fight going on in her home. It was 1:42 a.m.
When Cardilli went to his own bedroom and returned with a handgun, his sister backed him into the living room. But the fight continued to move into different parts of the house, and Cardilli claimed Muse punched him twice.
“Mark Jr. later said he felt like he and his dad were being overpowered by Isahak,” Tully wrote in the affidavit. “Mark Jr. stated that, ‘I wasn’t going to let him punch me and drop the gun.'”
He told police he then raised the gun and shot Muse two or three times. During the interview, another detective asked Cardilli why he didn’t call the police. There is no indication in the affidavit that Muse was armed.
“Mark Jr. stated that Isahak was still actively fighting, it seemed like the right thing to do and it was self-defense,” Tully wrote in the affidavit.
Mark Cardilli Jr. then called 911 at 1:45 a.m. to report the shooting. First responders pronounced Muse dead on the scene at 2:08 a.m.
It’s more likely they lured him to their house and killed him. I don’t trust cadaans.
