A 20-year-old Maine woman has been charged with manslaughter in connection with a fatal shooting on April 2 — and a newly unearthed surveillance video captures chilling audio of the incident.
Olivia Babin allegedly shot and killed her boyfriend, 24-year-old Daniel Ford-Coates, in Bangor by holding a gun to his forehead and saying “Oh don’t think I will?” before pulling the trigger and firing the fatal shot.
The shooting was witnessed by at least two other people, authorities claim.
In a Nest surveillance video obtained by the Post, the gunshot can be clearly heard, followed by a woman’s voice screaming “oh, f—.” The clearly panicked woman then repeatedly screams, “you’re not dead, you’re not dead,” at least seven times.
The video is part of the evidence collected against Babin by the Bangor Police Department.
During Babin’s April 5 bond hearing, Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Ackerman told the judge that Bangor Police interviewed Babin at the scene — and that she lied to them about what had happened.
During her initial police interview, Babin allegedly told cops that another friend had argued with Ford-Coates about a woman. She claimed to have heard a loud bang and witnessed the friend fleeing the scene.
The friend told cops a different story, alleging it was Babin who retrieved Ford-Coates’ 9mm handgun from his bedroom. Then, she allegedly held the gun to the victim’s head before pulling the trigger.
Ford-Coates slumped to the ground. According to the Bangor Police Department, Babin allegedly changed clothes after the shooting and threw the handgun in the nearby Kenduskeag River. Then she called 911.
Paramedics rushed Ford-Coates to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
TA motive for the shooting is unknown, but the friend claimed Babin was trying to scare them. The gun did not have the magazine in it, but there was still a bullet in the chamber.
Ackerman claimed in court that alcohol and drugs had been used on the night of the incident.
Babin is being held on $100,000 bond at the Penobscot County Jail. She has not yet entered a plea. Her attorney did not return The Post’s call for comment.
Babin is next scheduled in court on June 10.
