00:009-1-1, what is the address of the emergency?
00:24I don't know, I'm just at the corner, it's like Sheridan and 20th, we're in the parking
00:28lot right behind the Dunkin' Donuts, it's right by that, like, the bar in Northern Lights
00:33got shot, and he's on the ground, he's like face down, and they took off in a silver two-door
00:39Pontiac, he's in the parking lot, like, face down, we're standing right next to him, he's
00:44still conscious and he's still breathing.
00:46Where did he get shot at?
00:47Where did he get shot at?
00:49I don't know, he's face down, he's not talking.
00:58On April 5th, 2018, just after 8 p.m., we responded to a report of a shooting.
01:15At that point, we didn't know if the victim was alive or dead, but we knew as officers
01:19that this was a very bad situation.
01:22When we got to the scene, we activated their body cameras.
01:25Hi.
01:28Hey, Lincoln, one there, incoming units, we need to get this oil.
01:30I'd better, like, actually pull out so they can get medical in here.
01:35Yeah, that's probably a good idea, medical, we're gonna have to get into this.
01:37I'm gonna drive.
01:38EMS was very quick to arrive, they started working on the victim who had one single gunshot wound
01:43to his chest.
01:44Yeah, they're doing CPR on a guy like that.
01:47Yeah, he's got one, though, right?
01:48Who are these folks that are right here?
01:50Um, this guy here's got a car, he wants to get out, but...
01:54Yeah, no, we're shutting the place down.
01:56At that point in time, we weren't sure if he was alive or dead or what the situation was.
02:01So, during all this commotion, the victim was pronounced dead on scene.
02:07In the parking lot near the victim, a wallet had been located, and opening it, a Colorado
02:19ID was found to an Andrew Genesec.
02:22This is a very crazy circumstance for me, because I went to high school football and I was a manager
02:31of the football team, so I interacted with Andrew pretty frequently.
02:34Andrew, he was the sweetest kid, actually was the first boy in our family on my side, and my mother just adored him.
02:54He was a chunky little baby.
02:58I kept saying, how can three folds of fat in your legs be so darn cute?
03:03But Andrew was always a big kid.
03:07Andrew was a very curious little boy, seeked a lot of pleasure in music.
03:12I think that was his biggest passion.
03:15Yeah, it was April 6th when I found out.
03:33I got up that morning, and I get a call from the Edgewater PD, and they said, I'd like to come over to your house and talk to you.
03:41And I'm thinking, what the hell happened?
03:43And they get there.
03:46It's Brandon Chalice and a victim's advocate.
03:50They come into my house, and we're all sitting at my kitchen table.
03:56And he said, there's just no way to tell you, but Andrew's dead.
04:07All I could do was cry.
04:09It just didn't seem like it was real.
04:12It just felt like my room just crumbled at that time.
04:20So I was working at the time, and I got a call from one of our buddies on the football team.
04:31And I could tell immediately something was wrong.
04:34I could hear it in his throat.
04:35And he said, Andrew was murdered yesterday.
04:38And we just broke into tears.
04:41I mean, what do you say or do?
04:42It was just shock.
04:44There's no words for what that moment feels like.
04:47Once everything had kind of calmed down, we turned our attention to the evidence.
05:08Some of the evidence that I found on scene was a single, spent 9mm shell casing nearby.
05:15Andrew's wallet that had cash inside of it.
05:19I also located a cell phone with a sticky note on the back with an order for barbecue.
05:25As we were scanning the parking lot looking for additional evidence, we didn't locate any firearms.
05:31I also located Andrew's car in the parking lot.
05:36And we found no weapons inside of Andrew's car.
05:38When you see the wallet is still underground and the money is missing, motive becomes unclear.
05:46It makes you think, was this a target attack?
05:48Did the suspect know the victim?
05:50We knew that we were going to have to dig deep to solve this mystery.
05:56As we were combing the scene, we noticed that there was a camera on the side of a nearby barbecue restaurant,
06:03which matched up with the sticky note that I found on Andrew's phone right next to the scene.
06:09Now we're asking ourselves, could that camera have caught the shooting, the shooter, or very least the vehicle that left the scene?
06:15So officers went to the restaurant, started knocking on the front door, tried the door.
06:21Nobody was answering.
06:22They tried going around the back.
06:26Then continued knocking on the door.
06:28Finally, somebody kind of peeked through.
06:30Noticed it was uniformed law enforcement officers trying to get in and answer the door for us.
06:35You can tell we had an incident happen out here in the parking lot.
06:39Let me see if our camera's coming back.
06:41Actually, yeah, if you guys have camera footage, that would be awesome.
06:44They were able to pull up the video footage for us almost immediately, which was a miracle.
06:48Saw where the dude was on the ground back there when you pulled her up.
06:51Okay.
06:52So you can catch the corner of it right here, it looks like.
06:55Okay.
06:56So you might be able to see something.
06:58Okay.
06:58Video footage, it was pretty grainy.
07:00We could see what happened, but not great.
07:04We were able to look at the timestamp, which was directly in the vicinity of the 911 call.
07:09It was hard to see what type of vehicle it was.
07:12So the surveillance had to be sent off to forensics for analysis or further investigation to be able to identify the vehicle and persons inside the vehicle.
07:22We appreciate your help, man.
07:23That's awesome.
07:24I mean, any little thing would actually help.
07:27Once we exited the restaurant, we turned our attention to the two 911 callers.
07:31They were still unseen in the barbecue parking lot.
07:34Right now, they're the closest thing we have to the truth behind what happened to Andrew.
07:38We didn't know what kind of connection they had with the case.
07:41A lot of times when we interview witnesses, you want everything to be their own raw emotions, raw feelings, raw memories and testimony without being guided or coerced.
07:52So we made the decision to take the 911 callers to the station for an interview.
07:55All righty.
08:11As I told you before, Corporal Nathan Rivers has been investigating the shooting at the Duncan Dallas parking lot.
08:17Could you state your...
08:18Okay?
08:18Okay.
08:19And you're the one that called 911, right?
08:21Yes.
08:21Okay.
08:22So let's start with the...
08:25Just take me through.
08:26Take me through.
08:27I'm going to throw some notes down.
08:28I'm going to stop you, but I'm trying to get you through.
08:31Okay.
08:32We pulled up.
08:32We parked in the back parking lot.
08:34My friend got out to go into the dispensary.
08:38Sitting on my phone, playing on Facebook.
08:41Heard the shot.
08:42Thought it was a firework for a second.
08:43So I looked up and saw the victim face down on the floor.
08:49And there was a silver Pontiac in front of the victim.
08:54And the shooter was in front of the car, still kind of standing by the victim's body with the gun pointed at him.
09:00And then got back into the Pontiac on the passenger side.
09:04So from the information we got from Alexis, this incident seemed really quick, really sudden.
09:09And then she dropped this bombshell on us.
09:11Are you familiar with guns?
09:13That's what I'm on probation for.
09:15How's that?
09:17I was dating a guy for three weeks.
09:19He asked for a ride and shot and killed somebody at the King Soopers.
09:22So when somebody discloses that they're on probation because they were a witness to another murderer,
09:29it definitely raises a lot of suspicion and raises a lot of questions.
09:32So why are you here?
09:33I think we're right back with him.
09:35What type of situations do you put yourself into?
09:38Was she involved in the murder in some way, shape, or form?
09:41This was a significant lead that could potentially help us find out what happened to Andrew.
09:52As we were talking to this 911 caller, Alexis, obviously we got this information that she was on probation
09:59and that she had been a witness in this other murder.
10:02So we had to start treading lightly and making sure that we were paying extra attention to what was going on.
10:07So you heard a game go off?
10:09Yeah.
10:09He was wifey and friend.
10:10He allowed.
10:12Got some tremendous luck.
10:13Yeah.
10:14Yeah, and I actually have his trial next week to go testify against, and I go downtown tomorrow to get prepped.
10:20Keep charge?
10:21Yeah.
10:22Well, it makes it seem like either really bad luck or really suspicious that this person's at the wrong place
10:29at the wrong time yet again.
10:31So then we turn our attention to our second 911 caller.
10:34When we're interviewing two people who are at the same incident at the same time,
10:38we're hoping to get pretty much the same story and hopefully some additional information from each witness.
10:46But we're hoping that the stories primarily line up.
10:48I walked up to the dispensary, was in there for maybe five minutes, left her in the car because she doesn't have her ID.
10:55And then she was standing there.
11:04We didn't start CPR immediately.
11:06Both of the 911 caller stories actually were very consistent with each other, and they provided a lot of the same information.
11:13When we were able to check and see if they had any past connections to Andrew, we found out they had none, neither one of them.
11:21So we took them off of our suspect list.
11:23Okay, ma'am, come here.
11:24Okay.
11:25The moment I realized what had happened, the only thing running through my mind was that I needed to try and help.
11:43When I tried to speak to him, the only thing he said was, please help me.
11:47When I found out Andrew didn't make it, it hurt my heart.
11:52I worked really hard to try and get him back.
11:55It definitely stung.
11:59The thing that's amazing about this young woman, once the car sped away, she ran to him and she asked him if he was okay.
12:10And he said, no, can you help me?
12:14And she said, she said she held him and he died in her arms.
12:24I told her that the only salvation I have is knowing that when he left this world, those monsters weren't the last thing that he saw, that he saw her.
12:40Shortly after we were conducting our interviews, a call from a missing person comes in.
12:54And it turned out to be Andrew's girlfriend, Jessica.
12:57When you get a call like that, one of the things you want to do is you want to drop everything.
13:00Go interview that caller and find out what's going on.
13:04When we got to the apartment, Jessica was a little concerned as to why so many officers had shown up.
13:12I asked her some brief questions about what Andrew had done, where he had gone, what he was doing.
13:19So he was just going out to pick up dinner and didn't come back.
13:24He didn't say he was going anywhere else.
13:27Usually he informs me if he's going to do some other errands on top of something like this.
13:32So as I'm initially speaking with her, I don't want to give her too much information about what happened to Andrew because I'm not sure if she has anything to do with this.
13:41And I'm hopeful she doesn't, but you never know.
13:44He's probably got like 15 missed calls from me.
13:46And then I called him about 2 or 3 o'clock this morning and his phone was just dead.
13:53When's the first time you tried to call him after 8.30?
13:55I think I probably tried to call him around 9, 3, and 10.
13:59So after having a brief interview with Jessica, coming to the determination that Jessica probably didn't have any involvement in this,
14:07I sat her down and I had to tell her that Andrew wasn't missing, that Andrew had been shot and that he was killed.
14:16And I know it's very difficult for you, and I know us answering all these questions that were kind of barraging you that this is kind of difficult.
14:28One of the most difficult things a police officer can do or be a part of is letting somebody know their loved one has passed away or had been killed.
14:36Just seeing the reaction to people being delivered that news takes a toll on everybody on scene.
14:44I'm just not expecting to hear that he's been shot and killed in a parking lot down the street from my apartment.
14:51I know.
14:52But there was no easy way for me to tell you, obviously.
14:58She was devastated.
14:59She was sad.
15:00She was crying.
15:01She was confused.
15:04And I think she was hurt.
15:06And you're sure it's him?
15:08I, we're, so we had his identification, everything on the scene, and his work ID.
15:14And as we were trying to piece together Andrew's final minutes, we asked Jessica some very pointed questions.
15:20Does he carry a gun?
15:21And so, yes.
15:22A sky, a CCY, a nine millimeter.
15:28What color is it?
15:29It's, uh, silver and black.
15:32Where do you keep that gun?
15:34I keep it in its case in our closet.
15:38The CCY pistol is a small, compact nine millimeter.
15:42Nine millimeter is the same caliber that we found on scene.
15:44We asked her if anything was missing, and that's when she tells us one of the guns it was.
15:51So, to me, at this point, I'm wondering, well, maybe in that struggle, was Andrew's firearm taken from him and maybe used against him?
15:59Is there any, anywhere else that firearm would be?
16:02I mean, that's the only place I can think of, possibly, because I don't know if he put that in his car or not.
16:09All right.
16:10Because he always kept everything in here.
16:12During the initial investigation of the crime scene, officers did search Andrew's vehicle, and they did not locate the gun inside the vehicle.
16:20If the gun wasn't in the apartment, and it wasn't in the car, where was it?
16:25You guys let anybody else borrow your firearms or anything like that?
16:27No.
16:28No?
16:28No.
16:28We don't even tell anyone about him.
16:30We only let people that know about him are our parents.
16:33We knew we weren't dealing with just a homicide, but that family's worst nightmare.
16:36I needed to contact his mother, Julie Genisek.
16:45I called Julie.
16:46I told her that I needed to have a conversation with her, and it was something we had to do in person.
16:51When I got to Julie's house, I was able to ask Julie some questions.
16:55One of those questions I asked Julie was if her son had any enemies.
17:00She indicated to me that he had one that she knew of.
17:03And it was Jessica's brother.
17:07Her brother had gotten out of jail and threatened Andrew.
17:12At the time, we realized that it was something critical.
17:15I mean, somebody coming out of prison.
17:18I, I, yeah, I don't take it lightly.
17:21With this new information about Jessica, Andrew's girlfriend, that about a year prior, Jessica's brother threatened Andrew.
17:37And with Andrew's gun being missing and unaccounted for, now I'm wondering, why didn't Jessica tell us this?
17:44And is this a credible or serious threat?
17:47It was imperative for us to bring in Jessica once more for a question.
17:52You doing okay?
17:54Yeah.
17:55I wanted to keep Jessica at ease.
17:57I didn't want her to feel attacked.
17:59I wanted to know why she hadn't told us about this incident involving her brother and Andrew.
18:03Your brother had, had threatened Andrew.
18:07Yeah.
18:08Basically.
18:09He didn't threaten him directly.
18:11It was indirectly to me.
18:14Can you elaborate on that for me?
18:15I had some concerns.
18:18Obviously, if somebody's threatening to kill your loved one, especially if that person's a family member, and now there's a potential that a firearm is missing from your house, that would be information that you might want to share with law enforcement.
18:32My brother and I were having a fight, and that's when he said his comment.
18:38And, uh, it really unnerved me, so I told Andrew, and then Andrew wanted to take it to the police, and the police said, your best option would be just to move away from the situation, so we did.
18:53There was a part of me that was thinking she might be trying to protect her brother at this point, but I didn't know.
18:58It was a mystery.
18:59He just said that he would take him out with his friend or whatever.
19:06What do you think he meant by that?
19:08I mean, well, the first thought to my head is to kill him.
19:14So this information, I think it kind of broadened our scope a little bit, and now we just had more information to follow up on.
19:21Andrew hasn't seen my brother in a year, or talked to him, or anything, and Andrew has not come up in a conversation between my brother and I, so, um...
19:32Retrospect kind of seems a little important, though.
19:35With the threats from Joseph to Andrew, and the fact that a gun was missing, I thought, this is pretty serious.
19:41Uh, we need to find Joseph.
19:48We divided our workload, and we provided this lead to CBI to follow up on.
19:54They located Joseph, picked him up, brought him in for an interview, and CBI conducted the interview with Joseph.
20:03Joseph was extremely cooperative.
20:05He fully admitted that, yeah, he did have that confrontation, and that he did threaten Andrew.
20:11He stated he would never actually follow up on that threat, and Joseph was able to provide an alibi that he was actually out of the state during the time of this incident.
20:21It's a little frustrating.
20:22Once you get rid of a lead, and you cross off your board, and you've got to refocus your attention, you just kind of reprioritize.
20:28To me, the whole thing was sad.
20:35I felt for Andrew.
20:37He definitely was quirky.
20:39He had this grin he would get, especially when he was being sarcastic, that he would give.
20:44But one of the things about Andrew, and sometimes it's uncomfortable to talk about, is he was bullied a lot.
20:50But I never once saw Andrew treat them poorly or be negative towards them.
20:54He still treated everyone with kindness and respect.
20:57After he passed, obviously had a lot of questions.
21:00Why him?
21:01We didn't get a ton of details initially, and we lost a loved one.
21:06We couldn't believe it.
21:07After exhausting a lot of our leads, we finally got the security footage back from forensics from the scene at the barbecue restaurant.
21:21We were hoping that they could clean up the video enough for us to see any additional details in what was going on between Andrew and this other party.
21:28So in the video footage, you can see it as clear as we're going to get it.
21:31You can see Andrew start walking towards the restaurant, and you can see headlights approach from one direction.
21:40Andrew gets confronted by another party.
21:43There's a brief altercation.
21:46You see a flash, a gunshot goes off.
21:50Andrew falls to the ground.
21:52Party runs into the vehicle, and a vehicle takes off, speeds past Andrew.
21:58Seeing that footage was pretty upsetting to me that somebody would do something like this, especially because it was to Andrew, my friend.
22:07Seeing that really motivated me to do the best work I could to try to help Andrew get justice along with his mom, Julie.
22:16From watching that video footage, we couldn't tell if the shooter was a male, female.
22:20We couldn't tell ethnicity.
22:22We couldn't tell how many people were in the car.
22:24It's a little frustrating.
22:25With further review of the footage, the investigation had a huge breakthrough because we could also see that it was not a silver Pontiac that was used.
22:33Like, the 911 caller reported it was actually a silver Mitsubishi Eclipse, and we were able to get a partial plate of that Eclipse.
22:41When we determined we had a partial plate for this vehicle and that we knew that it was a Mitsubishi Eclipse, we started running it.
22:49We managed to come back with two hits for a Mitsubishi Eclipse similar color with that partial license plate.
22:58One of them belonged to a Renault Car, and it hadn't been registered in a year or two.
23:04The other one came back, currently registered, to an Alicia Valdez.
23:09Looking into her background, she had a pretty long rap sheet, and at the time, she had a warrant out for her arrest from the El Paso County Sheriff's Office for a burglary.
23:19Based on that information, we knew we needed to talk to her and see how she was involved in Andrew's death.
23:25As we were conducting our investigation, obviously, this is a big investigation for a small city, so we were still relying on other agencies for our help with the investigation.
23:35We put an attempt to locate on the vehicle.
23:41Two days later, we learned that Denver had pulled over that vehicle for an improper left turn.
23:49That was a huge break for us.
23:51At least you're going to have you step out for a second.
23:58Don't grab anything with you, okay? Just step on out for me.
24:03Go ahead and put this...
24:04Can I ask why?
24:04I'll tell you in a sec, okay?
24:06Why?
24:07All right, go ahead and put your cigarette down.
24:08Okay, sorry.
24:09You're okay.
24:11All right.
24:12You have to put your hands behind your back. You got a warrant, okay?
24:14Why?
24:15Why do you have a warrant? You probably know that better than I do, but we're going to do some research and tell you exactly what it is.
24:19As a detective, when you tell somebody that they have a warrant for their arrest and they try to play dump, it's kind of aggravating, but it's also kind of entertaining because you're the one that committed a crime that has the warrant for your arrest.
24:33So why are you trying to pretend that you don't?
24:36Yeah, they put out a felony warrant out for you.
24:38A felony warrant?
24:38Yeah.
24:39Yep.
24:39Officers were able to place her into custody without further incident, and our focus then turned to the other individuals that were in the vehicle.
24:47Stand up, man.
24:49Stand up.
24:52Sheriff, Major, what's going on?
24:53As we were sitting there trying to find out as much information as we could from everybody else that was on scene, it was immediately discovered then that there was a 9mm pistol on the front passenger seat pointing towards the officer in plain view.
25:12It's the same caliber that was used in the murder of Andrew Genesec.
25:15You weren't going to tell me there was a gun in the seat next to you?
25:20You weren't going to tell me that you were going to try to leave a gun on the seat when you left?
25:25That'd be nice to know, wouldn't it?
25:26Oh, and a pocket full of bullets.
25:28How about this?
25:30I'm about to get out of the car.
25:30Officer, I have a gun on me.
25:33Right?
25:36You ever been convicted of a felony before?
25:42Okay.
25:43All right.
25:43From my experience, whenever somebody is involved in a pretty serious crime like Andrew's homicide, the first thing that people think about is what they need to do with the item used in the killing and where they're going to hide it or destroy it.
25:58There was a thought that maybe this is Andrew's missing gun or, you know, at the very least that maybe this is the gun responsible for the murder of Andrew Genesec.
26:07Did you let him know that this is in the car?
26:09Uh, SCCY 9 mil?
26:14It was at that point in time that we realized that this was a lot more serious than just a traffic stop for an improper left turn.
26:22And we realized that we might be looking at the crew responsible for Andrew Genesec's murder.
26:26We realized that the puzzle pieces were starting to fall into place and we might be one step closer to getting justice for Andrew and his family.
26:46We separated all of them so we could get their version of the events and their story.
27:01And they wouldn't be able to dilute it with each other's information.
27:05The first person we interview is Caleb V. Hill, the guy who had the gun in the car.
27:09All right, Caleb, the last part of the form reads, if you want to talk to me about what happened, your answer is yes.
27:15If you don't want to talk to me, you should say no.
27:17Okay, and our interview is concluded at 6.51.
27:28Ian?
27:30When Caleb lawyered up, obviously all questioning ceased against him.
27:35It's frustrating because now he's a dead end in the investigation.
27:38But we did have other people to interview and investigate at that point in time.
27:42We arrested Caleb for being a felon in possession of a weapon by previous offender.
27:49Then we turned our attention to the person driving the car, Alicia Valdez.
27:54At first with that interview, we didn't want to go in too hard and kind of scare her off.
27:59What kind of car is it?
28:00Uh, 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse.
28:08Okay.
28:09Um, so who else uses your car?
28:12Um, really mainly just me.
28:15Um, I don't really like people driving my car.
28:17I get really bad anxiety.
28:19I don't really trust people.
28:20We were hoping to get some information about where her vehicle had been the night that Andrew was killed,
28:26where she had been, and if she knew where her vehicle had been that evening.
28:32Your car was at the scene of a murder.
28:35Someone got out of your car, shot someone, and killed him.
28:41Got back into your car, and drove away.
28:43You just told me that you were driving your car all week.
28:46You were there when it happened.
28:50Right?
28:50Saying how she had continued to stick to her story, even though we knew she was lying, just motivated me and everybody to prove that she had involvement in what happened to Andrew.
29:05Uh, I, honestly, I don't recall.
29:09You don't recall?
29:10I don't.
29:12Since Caleb was found with the firearm and with a pocket full of ammunition, uh, we were working under the impression that Caleb was probably our shooter.
29:20And I believed that she had information that could tie the whole case together.
29:27Okay, look.
29:29We have it on video.
29:30I know that the person who shot this guy is a guy.
29:35Okay.
29:38I know it wasn't you.
29:40I know it was your car.
29:43You tell me you're the only one driving your car, so you were driving the car.
29:47Um, I mean, yeah, but, uh, I don't, I don't recall being in wherever you're saying.
29:55I was, I'm, I'm the only one that drives my car, but I don't recall.
30:01She had so many holes in the story.
30:03She wasn't able to answer certain questions, and, you know, her body language alone was just showing a lot of signs of deceit.
30:10Eventually somebody's going to be down to talk to you about this, and we're going to be serving you a warrant for murder.
30:14At that point in time, the color drained out of her face, and the realization of what was going on seemed to finally hit her.
30:23Your car is ours.
30:25It's wanted in our case.
30:26So I don't know if you own the car.
30:28I don't know if you have a lien on it.
30:30Alicia was a little bit shocked.
30:32She didn't really understand, or pretended she didn't understand, and couldn't believe that this was happening to her.
30:38Alicia was arrested in connection with the murder.
30:40We still had a lot of uncertainties.
30:43We still didn't know who was driving the vehicle, who pulled the trigger, who all was actually in the vehicle when this happened.
30:50At this point, we turned our attention to the other person in the car, Devon Howard.
30:55I think Alicia cares for you a lot.
30:57She made that real clear to us.
31:00She's going to pay for it.
31:04She's going to screw herself over to protect you.
31:08We all know that car has been involved in some bullsh** before tonight.
31:20Very recently.
31:26Which is where her problems come in.
31:28From our interview with Devon, it was almost like he wanted to provide information to keep Alicia out of trouble.
31:35Not because he wanted to do it to clear his conscience or be a good person,
31:39but simply because he wanted to keep Alicia out of trouble because they were dating at the time.
31:44The mountain is waiting to fall on top of her.
31:48And it's happening as we speak.
31:50My instincts were telling me that Devon had a lot more information, a lot more knowledge about what had happened,
32:18than what he was telling us.
32:19We weren't able to determine what role Devon played and what happened to Andrews,
32:24so we had no way of holding him at the time we interviewed him.
32:29So at this point, we had to make a pivotal decision.
32:32The only information that we had gotten from Caleb during his interview was the address for his apartment,
32:38which is where he lived with Devon Howard.
32:42We thought Caleb was the shooter, and that's why we executed the search warrant of Caleb's apartment.
32:48When we got to the apartment, you've got to be careful, because in situations like this,
32:55a lot of times people have backup plans or they're associated with other people who don't like law enforcement,
33:01so you have to treat this with a very serious matter.
33:05Let's go check here.
33:11Look good?
33:12All right.
33:14Where?
33:15Find the TV here.
33:16I swear to God, I hear it.
33:17We're good.
33:20We check behind the bed.
33:22Yeah.
33:22Behind, but not under.
33:23I don't think anybody can know.
33:24Behind's clear.
33:26I can't tell her.
33:28I'm secure.
33:29I've been hearing stuff, but I couldn't tell.
33:31One of the biggest keys of evidence that we found inside the apartment was a box of ammunition
33:36that had the same casing on it that was a casing that was found on scene.
33:40But as the case was starting to take shape, one question still lingered.
33:47Why Andrew was murdered?
33:49And the mystery of who killed Andrew Jenicic was finally starting to unravel.
33:53We still needed information to prove that these suspects were tied to Andrew's death.
34:08After we stopped Alicia and impounded the Mitsubishi Eclipse, we ended up doing a search warrant
34:15on that vehicle.
34:17In that vehicle, we found a receipt from the 7-Eleven close to the crime scene the night
34:22of Andrew's murder.
34:23We took that receipt to the 7-Eleven.
34:27When we got there, we asked them to see their video footage.
34:31They were more than happy to provide that to us.
34:34Being able to see that footage was huge.
34:36We see the vehicle pull up.
34:39We see Devon get out of the driver's seat, not Alicia.
34:42We see Devon exit the vehicle.
34:44We see Alicia get out of the vehicle.
34:46We see Caleb Vigil get out of the vehicle.
34:48One of the big things that that security camera footage showed is Alicia was not the one driving,
34:53even though she swore up and down, that she never lets anybody else drive her vehicle.
34:57So now we have our witnesses.
34:59We have a gun.
35:01We have our shell casing.
35:03We have our vehicle.
35:05And we have two murder suspects in custody.
35:08Alicia and Caleb.
35:10And now we're just looking for Devon Howard because we had no reason to initially keep him.
35:15But now with this new footage, we know he was there.
35:18We know he was involved.
35:19And now we need to get him back in custody.
35:23We had gotten some tips that Devon was trying to skip town.
35:28He had reached out to somebody about potentially getting his face tattooed to cover up his appearance.
35:34We got information that he was going to be meeting with a tattoo artist in a parking lot at a local ice hockey rink.
35:40Myself, Officer Young, and a couple other investigators set up at this ice rink and waited for Devon Howard to get there.
35:49All of a sudden, we see Devon walking across the street, and we pounce.
35:58Probably one of the best feelings for this case.
36:02We ended up placing Devon Howard into custody, and we take him in for another interview.
36:07At this time, we come at him with just the facts.
36:09I think the only thing that he really cared about was trying to keep Alicia out of trouble.
36:16You guys know she did not pull the trigger.
36:19Okay.
36:19That's what matters.
36:20I'm just here to get her out of trouble.
36:22I'm not here to get anyone else in trouble except for myself, honestly.
36:26Right.
36:26When you've got situations like that, and you've got people not wanting people to get in trouble,
36:30that clearly shows that they know more than what they're leading on, and you want to be able to press that issue.
36:36All right.
36:37So when you see the s*** go down, right?
36:42You leave.
36:44You come out.
36:46Yeah, that's here.
36:48You come out here and make this way.
36:50Do you hit this guy?
36:52When he's on that.
36:53Do you hit the...
36:54Accidentally, yes.
36:55I was a little panicked because, as I said, he was not playing.
37:00I did only hit him.
37:01Do you remember if he was lying down or was he up?
37:04I don't remember any of that.
37:05I remember he had him somewhere in front of me.
37:07I tried to turn, but I still remember running him over because I felt it.
37:11Devon admitted to us that Caleb had shot and killed Andrew, and that Devon himself was the driver of the vehicle that night.
37:21I was shocked.
37:22I was shocked that he had no remorse for what he and his friends had done, and I was disturbed that he cared so little and valued so little somebody else's life.
37:33I understand, and I'm not saying you weren't, but we're just trying to understand what the mindset is.
37:39It's just a random act that goes bad.
37:41I don't know why the two got shot.
37:43I don't know how the situation occurred.
37:45My opinion was Andrew went to Billy Simms to go to dinner and was confronted by our suspects and was there to be robbed.
38:05Caleb Vigil murdered Andrew in the process while trying to be robbed, and the suspects then just took off without taking his money or phone or anything like that because that wasn't their intention to murder.
38:18They were there to rob him.
38:21Andrew died because they showed no compassion for other living beings.
38:26I don't think I'll ever experience something like this again for me to investigate a homicide that involves somebody that I went to high school with is something that I'll probably and hopefully never have to go through again.
38:39The gun that was found in the Mitsubishi Eclipse next to Caleb Vigil was not Andrew's missing gun, but it was the murder weapon.
38:51It was test fired and sent off to the lab, and they were able to confirm that it was the same firearm that was used to kill Andrew Janicek.
39:02In the summer of 2019, Caleb, Devon, and Alicia were all sentenced in the homicide of Andrew Janicek.
39:09They're all serving life without parole.
39:16This entire incident was callous.
39:19It was senseless.
39:21The amount of pain that his family and his friends have to endure to this day, I can't fathom, nor do I ever want to, and it's a tragedy.
39:31On this page, I'm looking at my picture with the football team and Andrew.
39:41You can see me on the front row.
39:43I didn't play football, but I wanted to be a manager because a lot of my really good friends were on the football team.
39:49Andrew was standing here in the third row.
39:51I just remember how much of a gentle giant he was and how he was valued as a person and as a friend and as a member of the football team.
40:00And I'm just really sad that what happened to Andrew occurred.
40:03To lose someone that you see having a legitimate lifelong relationship with just leaves a hole there, and no one can fill that.
40:18No one's going to be what Andrew was.
40:21He was one of one.
40:22I lost a lifelong friend who would be here with me, playing with my kids, talking about the difficulties of work, balancing everything.
40:31It's just gone.
40:33And that's the part that hurts the most.
40:36I sat on a board for Parents of Murdered Children for almost three years, and I did talk to people.
40:44And I heard a lot of horror stories, and you can survive it, but you need help, too.
40:56This is just not the normal process of death.
41:02I was supposed to go first.
41:04But I think as humans, we have to grow and try to navigate our lives in a new path.
