confession
Chris,
i really want justice to be served accordingly for the ones who should be held accountable for their actions
but even though you have the wrong man in custody for the wrong reasons, my husband is willing to sit down for crimes that he never committed (he wasn't the one that was present who shot that man) in order to keep me from any jail time when I didn't intentionally commit any crimes the day of that shooting.
The phone that was found on scene was mine. yes Nikos social medias were logged into it bc I was spying on my husband while we were separated during the month of January. the phone I usually used I was going to return to the person I was supposed to meet at that House that didn't show up.
there was never any intention of robbing or burglarizing anything, on everything I ever loved, Andrew Leach gave me that address and told me to meet him there but he never showed up. Andrew Leach and I have a toxic history, on his behalf. I was meeting him there to get my mail from him bc I was expecting important paperwork snd my EBT card and due to the history between me and him i planned on giving him back the cell phone that was on his monthly plan and tell him that I wanted to cut ties for good, for the sake of what he has done to my marriage and our family.
Andrew never showed up and I'm not really surprised comsiderimg what he has done to me, he was arrested that day for some sort of kidnapping charges.
When I got there Andy's truck was not there. the car was still running and me and Joshua Humphreys who's from grants pass Oregon got out. he was looking at the tire And I walked up to the front door. I knocked on it bc I was going to ask if Andy had been by or if they had heard from him but there was no answer. we were parked by the garage. the side door to the garage was open, and right next to it was the door to the house through the window the house looked thrashed like it had been partied in with trash and beer cans every where on every surface.... no lights were on, so I didn't think anyone was home. i thought it was really weird bc Andy said to meet him there. walking from the front door around the side of the house to the car, I heard commotion inside and I decided to step a couple feet inside the garage and knock on the door inside the garage to see if I could get anyone to answe, since that was a different side of the house so maybe they didn't hear me knock the front door. I was going to let them know I couldn't wait for Andrew, and to let him know if he showed up bc his phone was going to voicemail and the mailbox was full. (makes sense since he was arrested that day)
after stepping out of the garage towards the car, Joshua was standing outside the car door waiting for me, he was getting ready to get back in the running car, all of a sudden a dog ran up on me from the garage. it startled me bc I'm scared of dogs, and I thought okay well someone is home. the driver door was open And josh was standing outside the door and I was maybe 3/4feet from him. the car was about 15ft maybe form the door to the garage.
all of a sudden a man came out the door with a gun that had some big extension to it. he was seriously angry, I thought at first bc I walked in the garage door and knocked on his garage door, the garage was thrashed too. and on the way out I accidentally kicked a few of the beer cans on the ground by the door that I didn't see.
he started screaming at us and waving his gun around. he said, your back to steal more shit. and i was like what. no. I'm here to meet Andy.
he's like, yah right, I'm back mother fuckers you fucked up, ain't taking no more of my shit. and i was really confused unaware what or why he thought that.
he kept rambling and geting more angry, as I tried to explain to him what and why I was there. finally he told us to get on the ground bc he wasnt calling no fucking cops. he kept screaming you guys fucked up taking my shit. you're gonna fucking learn today .. and all sorts of obscenities.
I was really scared and went to lay on the ground like I was told bc he seemed unstable and unpredictable. my friend josh chuckled and said Chantell get up off the ground. if jes going to shoot us jes going to shoot us in the back bc we've done nothing wrong and proceeded to move towards the vehicle.
I got up off the ground and the man got even angrier that we weren't taking him seriously. I said call the cops if you feel that we did something wrong please just call them..
Joshua turned to move towards the door of the car as if he was about to get in, the door was still opened from arriving. I was right by the front fender and headlight of the driver side. the guy shot two rounds by Joshua's head. I screamed and started slowly inching my way back away from both of them.
Joshua said, hey man can you just calm down your scaring my homegirl right here. what the Fuck is your problem.
the guy was yelling, I said get the Fuck on the ground ill blow your fucking head off right now.
I still proceeded to keep inching away from them.
josh was trying to diffuse the guy and calm him down but he was gettimg angrier. insisting we were there to rob what was left of his house.
my phone I was giving back to Andrew was still in the car and the other one was in my sweater pocket but it started ringing from the car audio bc the car was still running.
josh said that must be Andy, can I answer it.
josh just wanted someone on the phone so the man realzied that he couldn't just shoot us with someone listening whether it was Andy or not.
the man said yes and josh got in the front seat and he answered... and we made eye contact and then the guy realized that I wasnt right there with them. I took off running. and all of a sudden I heard and felt bullets flying by me and the man screamimg where the Fuck do you think your going, I said to get on the ground bitch. ...
I panicked... I was so scared...he didn't want to call the cops, he was going to kill us. . I started to urn faster and I looked over my shoulder and josh jumped out of the car and shot the man, screamimg, don't fucking shoot at her. leave her alone. as I looked back while running the guy fell to the ground and was still firing the gun at my direction.
I knew that I couldn't safely get into the car on the passengers side with Josh to get away, whicn is why I took off running.
I didn't know Joshua had a pistol under the front seat of the car. he jumped back in the car and i was already at the end of the driveway tryimg to run down the road for help bc I thought josh had got shot too from the man firing at josh as he was getting back in the vehicle. the whole time over the Audio in the car, someone was yelling asking if I was okay. or if Niko was bc she called his messenger that I was logged into bc I hsd been spying on him prior to that.
Niko was in Oakland and had no idea what was going on, but then he got the phonecall on his regular phone bc I had dropped the phone when I was running when the guy was shooting at me And almost tripped and fell over i think my own two feet from fear. they couldn't get back through on FB messenger so then she called his cell phone asking him if he was okay telling him that she called his FB and all she heard was screaming and gunshots. Niko was confused and had no idea what this friend was talking bout.
as soon as Joshua pulled out the driveway and i jumped in the phone call was cut off due to the car being too far from the device.
since the man didn't want to call the cops bc he said he didn't believe in the law or use them and handled things his own way where he came from, Joshua did not want to call the Police either. I did not call the police either bc my phone the one i was going to give to Andrew was dead, and the other phone I had with my husband's account logged in was MIA.
I knew I dropped the phone, and knew that it would be located. and never tried to deny or hide the fact that it was me that went to that man's House, but my intentions were not for anyone to be caused loss or harm, no crimes were meant to be committed.
later itcwas confirmed through the grapevine that Andrew and ndrews friends, I am not sure what there names are, had been squatting into this exact house and Andrew and his two gay female friends were trying to rent it out to people, and previously had even asked me if me and Niko wanted to rent out a hous with a shop from him but I wasn't aware this was that specific one. Andrew had told me that there was a house that his friends took over and turned imto a chop shop and that there was no homeowner but he didn't specify the location other than Lodi. I didn't realize until later that this must have been the same house and that the homeowner thought we were the ones there to take more of his property, or what remained.
when I had made arrangements with Andrew the day before, he never mentioned that this was the same place, but he did say that he was going to stop by the home to make sure his friends would be . home bc they had allot of guns and will shoot without asking questions first and kind of chuckld and kind of played it off bout how good ole white boys are w their guns.... but he never said back from where though..and he said that was only kidding bout them having guns and shooting people.. before hanging up he reassured me that he would be at that address and that everything was fine to meet him there.
i tried to get ahold of Andrew with no luck.
when Andrew was finally released from jail, and I confronted him about this, he said he had a bad few days and didn't remember really what happened from supposedly supposed to meeting me down to the kidnapping that happened that day before it was all kinds of blurry.
he told me that his dad had cut him off the money and that it was my fault bc his dad found out what he did to me and my baby.. I never told him who was w me when I went to that house, I let him assume it was my husband. still to this day I've let him assume it was niko. and as it sits, Andrew has said that he hopes me and my husband rott in prison and that we should have been great ful for all his help when I was pregnant (that's the complete opposite of what happens while I was pregnant) and this is our karma for not being thankful for him.
. he told me that he goes over to those people's house and plays it off that he doesn't know who the people were that came over, for what ever reason I don't know. other than he set me up thinking that it was me and Niko meeting him not me and Josh. i don't tell Andy anything about my relationship or my life anymore due to his mental instability and rage issues. I haven't had but bare minimum contact with him in over a year. the only time I would hear from him is when he would explode through text messages and talk to me foul for days on end. Niko and Andy have had conflict over this multiple times, and Andy has always been scared that Niko would hurt him for what he has done to me. he lives in constant fear of my husband, but my husband has chosen to let God handle it and Andy suffer by always looking over his shoulder and the guilt knowing what he's done to me... and chose to leave it be bc Andy isn't worth the prison time and time away from me.
I can explain further about the history with Andy, and i would like too bc the bigger picture would be painted and anyone could see what he's been trying to do since I met him.
i want a restraining order on him and I am considering suing him for the abuse he caused while I was pregnant along with everything I lost at his hands. I have pictures and screen shots to show that back up the abuse Andy has put me through for the last three years.
I no longer have any contact with Andrew bc I cannot take the abuse anymore. I have PTSD and when he starts his rages its cusses me to flashback to the past and what he has done to me.
Andrew told me he made me lose my daughter to humble me bc I refused to give her up for adoption and wanted to be with my husband and not him while I was pregnant. he still to this day is so bitter that i chose my life with my husband and not him. he doesn't see anything he has done as wrong and denies everything that he did while I was pregnant eve though I still have the pictures and witnesses that can state and verify everything that man has dome and that he is out to ruin my life or push me to kill myself.
if you would like more information or to meet with me to discuss this just let me know.
we never met for anyone to be hurt that day. we weren't there to rob that man nor his house, i wish I would have listened to my husband allot sooner and cut ties with Andy before any of this happened. I wouldn't be on the verge of suicide today after everything je has done. my husband is all i have, I need him home.
he didn't do this, he was in Oakland.
I live in Oregon now, I come back and forth between here and California.
josh lives in Oregon too, but he passed away a month ago from my understanding.
josh said that he didn't blame that man for standing his ground. he had every right to be mad since his house had been robbed prior to us showing up to meet Andy. the only thing he did wrong was empty out his clip at me while. I was running away. josh said that he was in fear for my life and that he thought he was going to kill me. I think that if I didn't run or if Josh didn't jump out the car and shoot him he would have killed us both for mistaken identity.
this is my statement.
CHANTELL CORREA.
