In this explosive episode of SDN, we sit down with former MMA fighter Shannon "The Cannon" Ritch, who opens up about the shocking June 2024 shooting in a Phoenix parking lot that left 32-year-old Alejandro Samplina dead. What began as a dispute over a parking spot at Twin Peaks restaurant turned deadly when Samplina chased Ritch with a knife, prompting Ritch to fire a single shot in self-defense. . In addition to Shannon, our panel is joined by James Wilkoszewski from Pilgrim Ammunition, Dave Kemp [retired SWAT Team leader], Jon Wheaton and Survival Dispatch CEO Chris Heaven. . In this exclusive interview, Shannon shares his side of the story, detailing the chaotic moments, his mindset, and the aftermath, backed by police reports, witness accounts, and surveillance footage. We dive into his storied MMA career, the legal scrutiny under Arizona’s stand-your-ground laws, and the emotional toll of the ongoing investigation. Was it a justified act of survival? Tune in for a raw, unfiltered conversation on combat, instinct, and the fight for his life. . Like, comment, and subscribe for more hard-hitting interviews! . Christian Guardians Prepare! .
