Dwight Powers was on a Zoom video conference call with about 20 other people for an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting on May 21.

Police say Dwight Powers was on a Zoom video conference call with about 20 other people for an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting on May 21. The Suffolk County Police Department in New York arrested a man on Thursday, May 21, after they say he killed his father on a Zoom video call. The Suffolk County police told ABC7 that they were called at around noon on Thursday to a residence on Dixon Avenue in Amityville, Long Island.

During Thursday’s video chat, participants told police that they saw Powers fall but it wasn’t clear what had happened. Another person, who turned out to be Scully-Powers, then appeared on-screen naked, witnesses said.

One of the witnesses on the Zoom call told police that “Bedsheets were being ripped off the bed by a gentleman who appeared to be naked as well as bald and he had a tattoo on his left arm, and then he placed the bedsheets on the floor as if he was covering something up.” They also said the man did not give his name and had a covering over his face. The witness added that “[Scully-Powers] discovered that people were seeing him through the camera, so he covered up the camera.”

The participants decided to call the police, but it took about 10 to 15 minutes for them to be able to provide the authorities with the victim’s name and address.
