Newly released body camera footage captures the chaotic and intense moments when police responded to a disturbing domestic violence call involving social media personality Jack Doherty and his ex-girlfriend McKinley Richardson. The call was placed by Camilla Araujo, who reported that Richardson had fled to her house after a violent altercation with Doherty.

A Call for Help in the Middle of the Night

When police arrived at the scene, they were met by Araujo, who appeared visibly distressed. She immediately confirmed the domestic violence allegations, telling officers that Doherty had gotten violent with Richardson the night before. She claimed that Richardson was so terrified that she had to escape and seek refuge at her home.

“I’m the friend,” Araujo explained to the officers. “I’m an old friend of his, but she’s right there in a different car waiting.”

According to Araujo, Richardson had been hiding in a Nissan, a car that Doherty had never seen before, in an effort to avoid detection. She also made it clear that if Doherty had seen her own car, the situation could have escalated into something far worse.

Confusion and Tension as Officers Try to Piece Together the Story

As the officers tried to understand the complex situation, tensions ran high. They repeatedly asked Araujo to clarify who was involved and where Richardson was located. Araujo identified McKinley Richardson as the victim and Jack Doherty as the alleged abuser.

“McKinley. That’s who the call is for,” Araujo stated firmly, pointing toward the car where Richardson was waiting.

Despite the clear fear and urgency in Araujo’s voice, officers seemed momentarily confused about who was who, questioning the location of Richardson and the nature of her relationship with Doherty.

Fear of Retaliation: ‘If He Saw Us, It Would Have Made It Worse’

One of the most shocking revelations from the footage was Araujo’s insistence that their presence alone could have made the situation even more dangerous.

“If he saw us, it would have made it worse,” she said, suggesting that Doherty’s temper might have flared had he known Richardson was nearby.

This raises serious questions about just how dangerous the situation had become and whether Richardson was in immediate danger.

More Friends Involved: A Network of Protection

Araujo wasn’t the only one looking out for Richardson. Another individual, identified as “G,” was also present, acting as another layer of protection for the terrified victim.

As officers continued to press for details, Araujo confirmed that Richardson had been staying at her house after the alleged attack and that they had all driven her to the location in question.

Jack Doherty’s House Becomes the Focus

Eventually, the officers asked for the location they were responding to, and Araujo made it clear:

“Jack Doherty’s house,” she said.

At this point, the reality of the situation was undeniable. Police were now responding to a scene where an alleged abuser was residing, while his ex-girlfriend hid in fear just a few feet away.

What Happens Next?

While the footage only captures the initial moments of the police response, the implications of this case are huge. Did Richardson press charges? Was Doherty confronted by police? Was he arrested?

As more details emerge, one thing is clear: this is not just another internet drama. This is a serious case of alleged domestic violence involving a well-known social media influencer, and the footage paints a terrifying picture of what happened behind closed doors.

A Shocking Reminder of Domestic Violence in the Public Eye

This case is just another reminder that domestic violence doesn’t discriminate: it can happen to anyone, even those who appear to have glamorous, successful lives online. The fact that Richardson had to hide and rely on friends for protection speaks volumes about the fear and trauma she may have endured.

As the investigation continues, all eyes are on Jack Doherty. Will justice be served? Or will this just be another influencer scandal that fades away?
