"Back off," the father said.



"You're a dead man," someone is heard saying in the video.



Seconds later, you hear gunshots and Box screaming.



"People deserve to know what actually happened and you know they deserve to know John and Michael Miller are murderers," Box told KTXS.

John and Michael Miller were released on a $25,000 bond after they were charged with murder.
