A popular YouTuber, Corey Pritchett Jr. ("CoreySSG"), is now a fugitive in Qatar after being accused of aggravated kidnapping in Texas. Authorities believe he fled the country on December 9th, prior to facing charges.
Pritchett, 26, is alleged to have violently threatened and kidnapped two women on November 24th. According to a Harris County criminal complaint, he held the women against their will at gunpoint and abandoned them on a Texas interstate. A warrant for his arrest was issued on December 26th.
Investigation revealed Pritchett's intentions to relocate to Dubai, a detail discovered through his social media accounts. His phone is no longer in service, according to authorities. The complaint details how the women "feared for their lives" due to Pritchett's threats, including a statement, "I'm gonna and then kill yall."
Pritchett, in a social media post attempting to defend his actions, stated he would provide further details in court. He also expressed confidence in his legal team, claiming to have "the best lawyer in Houston."
The incident allegedly stemmed from a dispute earlier that day at a bowling alley, after which Pritchett's behavior reportedly escalated. The complaint alleges that Pritchett made a call to an unknown woman (identified as "Future Wife") seeking her approval to kidnap the victims, who stated their intent to kill them.
Pritchett's alleged actions included brandishing a handgun, firing shots out the window, and demanding that the women exit the vehicle. He ultimately abandoned them on the highway. Law enforcement confirmed the details of the incident using location data and time-stamped screenshots.
Pritchett, who previously gained popularity on YouTube for videos with his ex-wife, now faces potential extradition from Qatar to the United States.
