The victim, a woman at the pool, asked Rodriguez to stop what he was doing because there were kids in the area. Rodriguez then threatened to kill the victim and left the pool with two other people.
Court documents said Rodriguez briefly left the pool but came back, walking towards it while yelling at them. The victim said Rodriguez displayed a knife and said “I’m going to kill you,” several times.
Security footage showed the incident occurring, including Rodriguez holding what appeared to be a knife.
