Phoenix man, Anthony Milan Ross, shared a seemingly happy Facebook video of himself singing carols with his son, Nigel, just hours before killing him, his estranged wife, Iris Ross, and 10-month-old daughter Anora on Christmas.

Ross, 45, was taken into custody and charged with three counts of first-degree murder on Tuesday.

A chef, author and motivational speaker, Ross gained fame after losing almost 300 pounds while touting a vegan diet as the cause of his dramatic weight loss.

The creepy video titled, “Merry Christmas Everybody!” was posted to Facebook and shows Ross and his son enjoying Christmas festivities.

Video below of Ross making his initial court appearance Tuesday after being booked on suspicion of three counts of murder, aggravated assault on an officer and other charges related to the killings.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends at this difficult time.
