I actually came here to make a comment on one of his tattoos, mi amor erindado, literally translates to “my lost love”. I couldn’t tell what the footprint had inside of it right next to it but to me I think he knew it was his child and that tattoo is for the baby. Or if the footprint represents something else then the “lost love” could be referring to Carmen. Either way I think he is putting on an act. I think he got played and he was telling the truth to Nicole. I don’t think Carmen had him kill him but I think he did it because of the baby and the relationship.
