According to Jacksonville news outlet First Coast News, interviews with Fucci’s peers after he was arrested revealed he had long spoken openly about killing someone and other violent fantasies. According to Fucci’s friends speaking to the police: “He said he wanted to slit someone’s throat, he said it’d be satisfying.” Fucci also talked about killing and fighting people, according to those who knew him. His best friend had also seen Fucci practice stabbing motions with a knife. For the most part, though, Fucci’s friends didn’t take him seriously. Bailey had plans to see Fucci that night but was otherwise chosen at random. Reportedly, the teen also used cannabis heavily.
Then considered just a witness, Fucci reportedly took Snapchat selfies from the back of the police car, The Independent elsewhere reports. Along with those Snapchat images, Fucci wrote blithe messages about being in police custody. “Hey guys has inybody seen Tristyn lately [sic],” one message read. While in prison, Fucci’s bellicose behavior continued. He fought with other inmates and officers, and in one instance pepper spray was used to subdue him.

The first time Fucci appeared in court, he displayed behaviors of mental health challenges, that he was unaware of his surroundings, or why he was there. Some wondered whether those behaviors were real. According to Fucci’s girlfriend, though, (via First Coast News): “Aiden told me that he had voices in his head.”
