The Netflix documentary shows the harrowing moment a neighbour witnessed his friend getting shot.10:26, 01 Jul 2026Netflix's latest true crime series features a distressing moment where an innocent man was shot dead.Streamer Netflix's new true crime series, Worst Neighbor Ever, tells four disturbing stories of different neighbours who made other residents' lives a living Hell.Going beyond the label of nuisance neighbour, one of the residents, Jamal 'JT' Thomas, is the subject of episode three, titled Fear Thy Neighbor.The episode hears from Melina Armstead, who bought a home with her husband Miles in the diverse, working-class Oakland, California, neighbourhood of Eastmont Hills.Already having four children between them, they were planning to welcome their first child together, and were keen to settle into a friendly neighbourhood.Miles developed a friendship with Jamal Thomas, also known as JT, but when the Thomas family were evicted from their home, JT spiralled out of control.His reign of terror resulted in him shooting Miles dead in the middle of the street, which was witnessed by Miles' other neighbour and friend, Matt Guido. The harrowing 911 call made by Matt was played during the documentary, while some CCTV footage was shown.Matt was heard saying whilst in distress: "He's done shot somebody up! He shot like 10 rounds! I don't know if somebody's hurt, man, this is bad."The call operator asked him if he could see anyone on the ground, to which he screamed: "Yes, he shot my neighbour! F***! Get back! Get back!"He shot my neighbour, man! He killed my f****** neighbour! That m*****f***** killed by neighbour, man, it was JT!"Matt saw Miles laying on the ground and tried to help him, but he said, whilst in tears: "He wasn't shaking, he wasn't breathing, he wasn't convulsing, he wasn't gasping. He was still, and then I knew he was dead."Following his eviction, JT had been returning to his former home and squatting in the garage, while repeatedly harassing Miles and Melina.He would throw rocks through their windows constantly, and the Armsteads made endless calls to the police, but the harassment continued to escalate.The Armsteads ended up moving out into a new apartment, but one day, when Miles had returned to their old neighbourhood on an errand, JT was there and pulled out a gun on him.His wife Melina recalled the strange feeling she had while she had been working in their new apartment alone, and she knew instantly that something was wrong. She drove to their hold home and was horrified to discover her husband, who was an expectant father, had been killed.In July 2024, Jamal Thomas was convicted of first degree murder and in April 2025, he was sentenced to 28.8 years to life in prison.Article continues belowWorst Neighbor Ever is on Netflix
