In the bodycam videos, Broward Sheriff's deputies are seen pulling up after spotting Gingles' SUV in the parking lot of a Walmart on West McNab Road in North Lauderdale hours after the murders.

"He is at the car, let's start to move in, he's walking toward the rear of the vehicle," a deputy says in one video.

Serconds later, multiple deputies are seen getting out and quickly approaching Gingles with weapons drawn.

"Don't you f---ing move, don't you f---ing move!" one deputy yells. "Get on the f---ing ground!"

In radio dispatch calls from the Tamarac triple murder, dispatchers are heard sending out information about how many shots were reported and that a woman was heard screaming.

Gingles' daughter is heard screaming in the background as Gingles puts his hands up and is taken to the ground.

"We got him, we got him!" a deputy says, as Gingles is placed in handcuffs. "Don't you f--ing move dude, you're gonna get shot."

"I'm not resisting," Gingles replies.

"Child secure, target in custody," a deputy says over the radio.

Moments later, deputies search Gingles' pockets.

"Lay down dude, just relax," one deputy tells him.

"We need to do an amazing search of this guy. Belt comes off, dump every pocket, make sure you do a good search," one deputy tells another, before Gingles is placed in a BSO vehicle.

Gingles was arrested on three counts of first-degree murder, two counts of child abuse, one count of kidnapping and one count of violating a domestic violence injunction.
