Dr. Phil Primetime S01E116 - Inside the Deadly Takeover Trend

Discussing a reported dangerous teen trend called a "Takeover." Watch as Dr. Phil's cameras follow law enforcement on a takeover raid that results in numerous arrests, and firearms seized.

Tonight, Dr. Phil is discussing a dangerous trend law enforcement calls a "Takeover," which is an event organized on social media with the sole intention of gathering as many teens and young adults as possible, to literally "takeover" city and suburban streets, parks, malls, and houses to party in for profit. Law Enforcement reports that often these events result in businesses ransacked, and neighborhoods destroyed from chaotic behavior, reckless driving, and violence that ensues, many times leading to arrests and death. Dr. Phil will speak with the mother and teenage girlfriend of a 17-year-old boy named, Landyn, who was shot and killed at what has been described as a Teen Takeover party. Dr. Phil will speak with Bexar County Sheriff, Javier Salazar, who is investigating Landyn's murder, and reports that every weekend his office is responding to drug and alcohol fueled takeovers organized by online hosts, and attended by teens, who are armed with guns. Leading up tonight's episode, Dr. Phil's team worked to gather intel in order to track alleged takeover party hosts in the Bexar County and discovered information about a potential takeover party. Watch what happens when the Bexar County Sheriff's Office allowed Dr. Phil's cameras to follow them to that party, which resulted in numerous arrests, and firearms seized.
