Adam DeVine has revealed the moment he and his wife Chloe Bridges watched a man ‘gunned down’ outside their neighbors $1.8 million home.
Emil Lahaziel, 39, died just after 2am on Wednesday morning in Hollywood Hills West after suffering multiple gunshot wounds, police said.
Despite his co-host’s Blake Anderson, Anders Holm and Kyle Newacheck’s, obvious discomfort, DeVine launched into the moments leading up to Lahaziel’s murder as part of the ‘This Is Important’ Live podcast.
‘This is a true scary thing that just happened. So across the street they were running this like crazy poker game, right?’ he said.

‘People were rolling up in like Lamborghini’s and Bentley’s and Rolls Royce’s and s*** and like old guys, who for sure f*** prostitutes and play cards.
‘And I see these dudes and it’s like fun to sit and watch, [so] me and my wife, we’re sitting up on our balcony, and like, this looks crazy.’
DeVine then pauses telling the audience ‘this is where it gets sad.’
‘Someone was murdered there,’ he continues, before Anderson asks him to repeat what he said but with the added effect of a sinister sound byte.
‘Someone was murdered,’ he repeats, as Newacheck responds ‘that’s a downer.’
‘Yeah dude, I called that s*** I called that s***. I was like ‘this is dastardly s*** going down here’ and sure enough someone is gunned down,’ he continued.
‘That is sad,’ Newacheck responds, when Holm quickly adds ‘Yeah a real person, no longer with us.’
‘Yeah but, that happens, people be dying,’ says DeVine defending his retelling of the deadly shooting.
‘This isn’t Hollywood, this is a story about my actual life,’ he continues.
‘I mean its pretty Hollywood, you’re like ‘I guess I live places where people get murdered pretty cool,’ Holm says before the group quickly change the subject.
