FunTranscript
00:00Everybody go eat our food.
00:02Jenea is just a super amazing young lady.
00:06Her brother, Donnell, was our fashionista in our family.
00:11I'm trying to win a prize.
00:13Roy was the guy that would make her laugh and giggle.
00:19But he was so focused on his success that he didn't pay attention to hers.
00:24And Roy has a temper.
00:27This is someone who felt like he had been wronged.
00:30I'm concerned about what she has to lose if her and her keep going in this direction.
00:38Oh, gunfire's going off again.
00:41We have heads and that wasn't in our plans.
00:57I got you.
00:58I'm trying to get a puppy.
00:59I'm going to win something, then I'm going to give it to you.
01:12A very pregnant Jenea Logan is hosting a baby shower for her friends, family, and partner, Roy Harvison, at her 24-hour daycare business.
01:27Jenea is just a super amazing young lady.
01:35You knew there was going to be some good gift-giving if Jenea was doing something.
01:40Come on, man. I don't need to introduce nobody.
01:42I'm trying to win some prizes.
01:44And Jenea's little brother, Danelle Puder McDonald, looks to cash in.
01:49I'm trying to win a prize.
01:51I'm trying to win a prize.
01:55He was a character.
01:57Amazing young man.
01:58Very quiet.
01:59Very soft-spoken.
02:01But he was also our fashionista in our family.
02:06His sisters and his brothers spoiled him.
02:08Especially Jenea.
02:10A few weeks later, Jenea hosts a family Christmas.
02:14Roy.
02:15With her partner, Roy Harvison.
02:18It's Christmas time.
02:20So good.
02:22That was Roy.
02:23That was his personality.
02:24What's this?
02:28It was always good to, you know, just be around each other and do something.
02:32It was always fun.
02:34I think just the thought of bringing the little person into the world.
02:37They were happy and excited.
02:40A family.
02:41A little family is what she wanted.
02:46I am a mother of four children.
02:48So Tierney is my oldest daughter.
02:51Jenea is the second oldest.
02:53Christopher is the third.
02:56And then Donnell was the youngest.
02:58And he was born in 1992.
03:03My children grew up where there were times when the electric wasn't on.
03:09The water wasn't on.
03:10The car was repossessed.
03:12Food was tight.
03:15They grew up understanding that you're going to have to work for whatever you want.
03:21That it's not going to come to you.
03:23Jenea, she knew what she wanted to do.
03:26She did her work, went to work, and did it all over again the next day.
03:32Jenea was a 4.0 student, top 10 graduating in her class.
03:37That right there just tells you how much education in general just meant to her.
03:42She got a full ride, didn't have to pay anything.
03:45Summer 2005, Jenea reaches the end of her first year at Ohio State.
03:52And when her youngest brother, Donnell, has a basketball tournament, she goes to support him.
03:58Tierney, Jenea, myself were there to see Donnell play.
04:03At some point during the tournament, Jenea sees this guy playing in one of the games.
04:09The two of them found time to introduce themselves, exchange phone numbers or whatever they did in that moment.
04:15So she came to me and said, hey, I met this guy.
04:19He's really cute.
04:21He has dreads.
04:23And I really like him.
04:26We've been hanging out.
04:28And I'm just like, well, who is he?
04:31She explains, well, his name is Roy.
04:35We were 19 at the time.
04:37She knew he was still in high school.
04:40But I think she thought he was like a senior, getting ready to graduate.
04:45You know, you give people the benefit of the doubt and you just roll with things.
04:51But she was really smitten by him.
04:54Roy at that time was living with his dad and his paternal grandmother, raising him.
05:02He was into sports because he played basketball and football, but football was where he really did his thing.
05:10He had a lot of local success.
05:13So you could kind of see why his family would anticipate there could be a career at a college level and potentially a national level.
05:22He had some skills.
05:24In 2006, despite a four year age gap, Roy and Jenea officially become a couple.
05:31Donnell had a hard time accepting that his sister was dating someone who was, you know, pretty much the same age as he was.
05:41But we all kind of, I think, began to just accept that Jenea and Roy were going to be together.
05:46He was the guy that would do the goofy little quirky things that made her laugh and giggle.
05:55So she was happy.
05:58And by 2008, Donnell meets the next door neighbor's daughter, Mary.
06:05So now he's more focused on his life.
06:08I met Donnell maybe like early 2008.
06:12I lived on this end.
06:14He lived on the other side of me.
06:16One day my grandma had seen him and she said, that's a nice looking young man.
06:21You know, maybe you should date him.
06:23I wasn't really too worried about boys at that time.
06:26But soon after she said that, we end up, you know, talking.
06:29We hanging out more.
06:30And here comes the relationship.
06:32He always treated me nice, you know, with respect.
06:35So we could laugh together, you know, cry together, play around.
06:40They were a cute little couple.
06:43They was always together.
06:44So he was involved with his relationship.
06:47Jenea was in hers and I was raising my child.
06:50So everybody was doing their own thing.
06:53Three years after their first meeting in 2005,
06:58Jenea and Roy realized their priorities are changing.
07:02Jenea was trying to help him achieve the dream that he wanted to achieve.
07:08So she supported him in every way she could, especially once he went to Kansas to play football.
07:15She was prepared for being there in whatever way possible.
07:19But Jenea knows that she's not going to be able to be fully present all the time.
07:27She graduated from Ohio State in May of 08, summa cum laude, while still working two full-time jobs those whole four years.
07:38And in August of 08, she opened her first 24-hour childcare center.
07:44She was 22 years old at the time.
07:46They get a lot of love, a lot of attention, a lot of flexibility.
07:51One of the things that was great about Success Kids was being a 24-hour center.
07:57We had the opportunity to really support families in the community that work non-traditional hours.
08:04It was a very stressful time for her because Roy's in school in Kansas.
08:12So I don't know if he understood all the responsibility that she had.
08:17Because your first year is your hardest.
08:19And I think that's where some of that friction starts.
08:23And she heard rumors about infidelity.
08:27I don't think he knew how important it was to respect someone that you're dating.
08:32So she finds out that for certain Roy was cheating and she wants to confront him.
08:39And I decided I'm going to go with her because I'm not sure what may happen.
08:44I stayed in the car.
08:46She got out.
08:48And I hear yelling.
08:51I look out.
08:53And I no longer kind of like see her.
08:56But I hear her.
08:58I don't know who hit who first.
09:01But he is pulling her by her hair.
09:06That's when I was like, okay, let's go.
09:09Jenea got in the car and she was very, very upset.
09:14Not only about hearing about the infidelity, but what had just kind of like transpired.
09:20She was hurt by his reaction.
09:23She didn't want to go through that with him.
09:27But I think we attributed it to him being younger.
09:33He don't really know how to express his feelings or be apologetic like how he should be.
09:40I wasn't for sure where they were going to go from there.
09:44I didn't think he would be violent.
09:47Nobody saw that coming.
09:50Roy's aggression towards Jenea puts a long planned trip to Jamaica in jeopardy.
10:07It was a matter of if she was going to go by herself or if she was still going to have Roy go with her.
10:16And she decided to allow Roy to go on this trip.
10:21The whole time they were there, she said, we weren't getting along.
10:26But the last day, they decided to drink the champagne.
10:30And one thing led to another.
10:33And several months later, it's mom, I'm pregnant.
10:42That was definitely a turning point for everything.
10:47Now they are going to be parents.
10:50She knew, I'd like to give this another go and try to make it work.
11:00While Jenea rests in preparation for the baby,
11:04Roy fools around with his friends.
11:07As nice and as sweet as he could be, this was also that side of him.
11:12She didn't talk like that.
11:18So, you know, she kind of didn't like that type of stuff.
11:23The hand gestures and the language and stuff.
11:35That's just, that's things that he did.
11:39.
11:45That was him on a sober day.
11:47So that's, I mean, that's how he kind of carried himself and talked.
11:54Being young, he's still trying to figure out his life.
11:57Still trying to figure out what he's doing.
12:00She's already of that age where she's in that different type of lifestyle.
12:06That age gap plays a major part in their relationship.
12:14February 2010.
12:16Jenea and Roy welcome Roy Jr. into the world.
12:26We were all excited and happy to watch them grow into new parents.
12:31Hi.
12:32Daddy.
12:33Hi.
12:34It's your first time on camera.
12:37Yeah.
12:42But in the beginning, it is just her and the baby.
12:46Roy is away at school.
12:50She just supported him.
12:52She paid for him to go to school to make sure he was able to complete the dream that he wanted to do,
12:57which was play college football.
13:00But he's not helping with anything with Roy Jr.
13:06Say bye-bye.
13:08And Jenea starts making statements, believing that Roy is being selfish.
13:15She has so many responsibilities for this child on top of being a businesswoman.
13:23But I think that he was so focused on his success that he didn't pay attention to hers.
13:30She wasn't making a very big name for herself, because by then been working on the second center.
13:37The success of the daycares really came from the need in the community.
13:44And so in a matter of a couple of years, there was a 24-hour daycare center on every side of town.
13:49She hired a lot of people, a lot of siblings.
13:53And if you were of age, she would always try to offer you some type of employment.
13:58Donnell, he was just next in line.
14:01After high school, Donnell didn't know if he really wanted to go to school.
14:06He was always changing what he wanted to do.
14:08Jenea was a problem solver.
14:12So you ain't got no job?
14:13I got plenty of work here at the daycare.
14:16I did.
14:17I did.
14:18I did.
14:19I did.
14:20I did.
14:21I did.
14:22I did.
14:23I did.
14:24I did.
14:25I did.
14:26I did.
14:27I did.
14:28I did.
14:29I did.
14:30I did.
14:31I did.
14:32First of all after Roy Jr. is born, Jenea buys her first home.
14:37Most people our age weren't able to afford a house like that.
14:42That was a big, huge accomplishment.
14:46Why did my thing?
14:47Ask her if she thinking about Roy.
14:49You thinking about Roy?
14:50Yep.
14:51Yeah.
14:52Yep.
14:55But because the purchase and the responsibility was solely coming from her and the business,
15:01I think she didn't involve Roy that much.
15:06While Roy spends most of his time away building his football career,
15:11whenever he can, he comes home to be with Jenea and their baby boy.
15:18This is where the arguments and the disagreements would come in.
15:23Roy would berate her saying things like she wasn't a good mother,
15:28that she was more worried about success than she was the family
15:37because she was spending so much time at work.
15:40And those things weighed heavy on her.
15:43She couldn't hurt him with her words.
15:47So her way of getting back at him was to cut his phone off,
15:52throw clothes out of windows, cut tires, and cut off credit cards.
16:01They would break up sometimes,
16:04but they always kind of like got back together.
16:09Hey, Roy!
16:11What are you doing?
16:12Seven months after Roy Jr. is born,
16:15Roy Sr. returns to Ohio to continue his college football career at Urbana University.
16:22She hoped for a change with the move to Urbana because it's a lot closer.
16:28But, you know, it was kind of more of a disappointment because now we don't have the distance as being the issue.
16:36She's created this very easy lifestyle for him where he can put out the credit card and it's never going to decline.
16:47But he doesn't see that comes with a burden and a sense of responsibility that she's carrying alone.
16:55She stayed simply because she wanted her kids to have their mother and their father in the household.
17:01In August 2011,
17:08Janaya completes her vision of the perfect family when she marries Roy.
17:13Roy would not have been my first choice as her husband.
17:19I respected her reasoning behind it because she wanted her child to have that family unit.
17:29What are you, Roy?
17:33Say, trick or treat!
17:35Say, trick or treat!
17:36Say, trick or treat!
17:38Say, hi to me!
17:40And I think they both tried to the best of their ability for a long time to make that happen.
17:47Oh, you dropped the hat, Roy!
17:50Oh!
17:52Did you drop your hat, baby?
17:54Your hat?
17:56Yeah, yeah!
17:57Look out!
17:58She's starting to, at this point, like, spend more money to make him feel happy.
18:04And I do think that he took her for granted at times.
18:10Donnell, he starts to feel like Roy is financially taking advantage.
18:17Janaya would often share with me that she was not happy with a lot of the decisions that he was making.
18:23And she's looking at the credit card statements and going, what did you buy at the pawn shop that you spent $4,000 on?
18:32And it would be, oh, well, you know, we went and I bought some jewelry for me and my brother, or I bought a gun.
18:41As much as he is a funny guy and he's a jokester, he can turn that very quickly.
18:47And her concern always was, Roy has a temper.
18:51He will do something stupid that will land him in prison.
18:54In 2013, Roy sees his dream of being drafted fall away.
19:12He never becomes the standout athlete that his family thought he would become.
19:20That never happens.
19:22There was some potential there, but Roy's downside was Roy's anger.
19:26I think that is ultimately what decreased his ability to go to the next level.
19:37And as Janaya is pregnant with her second child, we hope he's now going to come home and he's going to assume the responsibility of a partner, a husband, a father.
19:51May 2013, Janaya gives birth to a baby girl, Royce.
20:00Three and a half weeks later, Danelle becomes a dad for the first time.
20:05He loved that kid.
20:08He loved that baby.
20:10He gave him more attention than me, so.
20:16We always used to find ourselves arguing all the time about who's taking them for the day.
20:22He's like, I'm taking them for the day.
20:24And, of course, he would pick up the slack, because, of course, I'm a first-time mom.
20:28So, sometimes I would be calling him all the time when he's at work, and I'm crying, like, I don't know what to do.
20:32I can't get him to be quiet.
20:33And he's like, do this, do that.
20:35He was like a teacher to me all the time.
20:39To Janaya's disappointment, when Roy leaves college and returns home, he doesn't follow Danelle's parenting lead.
20:47Janaya would say, I'm going to have a girls' night out, and Roy, you watch the kids.
20:52She would call a check on one, and Roy's went somewhere, and he's either taking the kids to the daycare center, or he's taking them to his dad's house.
21:02And she's like, that's not you being responsible.
21:04So, Janaya hired a nanny, because it was hard for her to manage everything.
21:12She could not rely on Roy 100% to fill in those voids.
21:17So, I think she started to feel like she wanted to have him be a part of the business.
21:25This is her way of giving him an opportunity to become that responsible person.
21:32It looks good in the beginning, but then it's the same thing.
21:38She just got to that point where it was like, you're not my child.
21:41You got to start carrying some weight, too.
21:44She was trying to have him play a more important role financially and within the marriage and household.
21:54But Roy struggles with his new financial responsibilities, and tensions boil over at home.
22:00In that sense, he started acting out.
22:03I'm hearing about how he is punching the walls, kicking in the door or something.
22:09And then we start to hear of these physical altercations that they're having in public.
22:19Where he felt like she, either she said something or she had done something that was inappropriate that maybe embarrassed him.
22:30I'm concerned about what she has to lose if him and her keep going in this direction.
22:36And Janae was like, I can't live like this.
22:42I got all these things going for myself and I'm not happy.
22:45If that means that we're not together and we're co-parenting, then I'm ready to pursue that as something new.
22:53In August 2014, Roy leaves the family home.
22:58Roy was living down the street from me in apartments.
23:01He wasn't excluded from anything.
23:05We just knew they were working through whatever they were working through and that was their business.
23:11A month later, Janae files for divorce.
23:14I don't believe that he really thought that that was ever going to happen.
23:21I think he believed that it was just another one of those, yeah, Janae is just talking, give her a couple of days or a week or two, we'll be back together type of situation.
23:31He still was working with us.
23:33It wasn't like she, you know, said, you can't, you're fired, you're not working with us anymore, you have to do your own thing.
23:38But he didn't have access to like her credit cards or anything like that.
23:44At this point, she's pretty much, you need to stand on your own with the salary that you're receiving.
23:49And so this meant big lifestyle change.
23:54Now, all of this jewelry and all of these guns collectors pieces become things that you need to get rid of to take care of your responsibility.
24:08For him, it was this big culture shock.
24:11And in his moments of desperation, he made a lot of really bad choices and decisions.
24:21As Janae struggles with Roy, Danelle surprises Mary.
24:26It's Valentine's Day or the day after Valentine's Day, we went to a jewelry store downtown.
24:31And he's like, you know, pick out what ring you want, what ring do you want?
24:35And I said, what you up to?
24:37He's like, well, you said you were going to leave me, you know, when you was 21, if I didn't marry you.
24:43I don't want to lose you and I don't want to be without my son.
24:45You know, I want us to be a family.
24:48A month later, Roy decides to follow in Danelle's footsteps and makes a move to show his commitment to Janae.
24:56Roy came to me and he said, do you think if I threw Janae a birthday party that she would come?
25:02And I said, yeah.
25:03That's her 29th birthday party.
25:14Janae and Roy were happy.
25:17They were together.
25:18And for a few days, things were great.
25:21But that Sunday, Roy said to my oldest son, Christopher, you ain't got to look for a place to stay
25:28because I'm going to be moving back home.
25:30You can move into the apartment and Janae was like, no, not happening.
25:34And he kind of looked at her like, yeah, whatever.
25:36You know, I'm going to move back home.
25:40The next day I went to her house and she just very calmly was like, you know, mom, he's going to make me get a restraining order.
25:48The very following day, April 1st, the office was closed.
25:53We had scheduled a training session.
25:57The class was supposed to be myself, Janae, Tierney, Donnell, and Big Roy.
26:03But Janae said, he's not coming.
26:06I just can't wait for this divorce to be over.
26:08And kind of said, okay.
26:09And we started the class.
26:121130 rolls around and we take a break for lunch.
26:17Tierney and I left.
26:19Janae and Donnell were going outside.
26:22The fact that we needed to go just a couple of blocks away is what has me here today.
26:35I saw him. He had a gun.
26:38I mean, he shot the person in the middle of the street.
26:41In the middle of the street.
26:52911, what's your emergency?
26:54Yeah, there's a guy who just shot two people at Cushy.
26:58He's leaning over the guy right now.
27:02He's hiding behind a silver Camaro.
27:04Two plainclothes officers drive down Parsons Avenue and witness an active shooter.
27:11He's about to start shooting at them.
27:13You need to cross him back up for them.
27:16Got a suspect shot.
27:17Two people.
27:18He's in the car now.
27:19We got him pinned down.
27:20You got to send us a 10-3.
27:21Listen, we got officers coming out there.
27:23Is there an officer shot?
27:24Not yet.
27:25Give me some help.
27:26I'm giving my partner a ride back to the precinct substation to pick up his cruiser.
27:34When we heard an alert call go over the CPD radio.
27:41The next thing I know, we're in the scene.
27:48I can see one male slumped over the wheel in the parking lot of a daycare.
27:52I see a female face down in the middle of the street.
27:58And our shooter at the time had his back to me.
28:00It looked like he was rifling through the car or doing something with the male slumped over the wheel.
28:05My immediate thought was, active shooter, I have to stop this guy before he gets into the daycare.
28:12He starts to turn to put his attention on us.
28:15That's when I see the gun.
28:17In a matter of a few seconds, we're trying to comprehend everything that's going on here.
28:21I'm thinking about, what's my backdrop if I have to discharge my firearm?
28:26Where are these rounds going?
28:27If he's shooting at me, where are those rounds going?
28:32We give loud verbal commands, drop the gun, drop the gun.
28:36He looked at us and he said, you're going to have to kill me.
28:40It felt like time slowed.
28:42It felt like 20 minutes.
28:44I know it was a matter of seconds.
28:46He starts to raise that firearm.
28:47He's refusing to drop that gun and it's time for us to act.
28:54Oh, gunfire's going off again.
28:57They shot him.
28:59Oh, they just got him.
29:00They just shot that guy.
29:01They shot the suspect.
29:02I fired multiple rounds.
29:05He fell to the pavement.
29:06The gun fell from his body.
29:08He was motionless.
29:09He wasn't talking.
29:11We thought he was dead.
29:13I remember I was the first to get on the air with the walkie and ask for three medics for three possible DOAs.
29:19It wasn't until the first uniformed backup officer arrived that I really just took a deep breath and just started to soak in the gravity of the situation that we had just stumbled upon it.
29:32It was immediately apparent to our medics that the two victims were deceased.
29:38I didn't realize our suspect is alive.
29:41Medics rushed to save the suspect as officers secure the area.
29:47Because we were involved in a police officer involved shooting, we are removed fairly quickly and backup officers come in and tape off our scene, secure everything so that it was untouched.
29:59We have a crime scene search unit who will come in and work the inner perimeter of that scene and collect that firearm.
30:09They're collecting samples.
30:12They're looking for where rounds ended up, his rounds and ours.
30:17They're taking photographs.
30:19We're trying to determine who we're dealing with, what occurred here.
30:23As the crowd grows, news of the incident starts to spread.
30:29Tierney and I were pulling into a fast food restaurant and my phone rang.
30:36And I looked down at the caller ID and I seen it was our staff member who was filling in at the class for Big Roy.
30:47She screamed that Mr. Roy just shot and killed Ms. J and Mr. D.
30:51Ms. J and Mr. D is what the staff affectionately call Jenea and Donnell.
31:03So I'm like, what's going on?
31:07And she's just like, drive, drive.
31:09And she said, like, he just shot my babies.
31:12And I'm just driving, trying to get down the street as fast as I could.
31:16And got to the end of the alley, I seen Jenea laying in the middle of the street.
31:19Jenea's body was laying face down in a pool of blood.
31:32There was the yellow police tape and police cars.
31:37And there was a crowd of people.
31:41They were just trying to figure out what's going on when the police escorted us and put us in the pack of a police cruiser.
31:49I never seen Donnell.
31:51All I know is he was laying in the car.
31:53I just hear them come over and pronounce them over the radio that they both were gone.
32:03The way it was positioned, that police car allowed me for a long period of time to continue to look at Jenea's body lying there in the street.
32:17I couldn't even rationalize what was happening.
32:22As Crystal and Tyranny process what they are seeing, EMTs rush and injured Roy to the hospital.
32:29To shoot Donnell who had nothing to do with it, it just wasn't, it was her call for.
32:35I just think just because he was there, he just, he killed them too.
32:43We talked to Crystal and she's forthcoming and telling us that there were some issues.
32:47Jenea was trying to divorce Roy and that there have been some threats and some back and forth where she wants to break it off.
32:58He doesn't want to.
33:00And I think that's the, the huge intervening factor here.
33:05Prosecutor James Lowe starts to piece together how the incident has unfolded.
33:09It was not a clear perfect video of the entire crime at all, which is why surveillance videos and witnesses are so important together.
33:20The witness can put the video in perspective and show you what you don't know you're looking at unless you were there.
33:27Tell me what exactly happened, what you saw.
33:30I've heard four gunshots, saw a guy, fire shot, then walk over to the street where Kosseth is where a girl had run out and shoot her and then basically run back and shoot someone in the car.
33:48You say he shot her. How many shots do you think he fired up?
33:51Two.
33:53He shot at the officers?
33:55Yeah. And there was return fire.
33:56It wasn't that Danelle got out of the car and they had an argument and said something and they shot him.
34:06It's that he walks right up, shoots Danelle.
34:11Then he shoots Danelle.
34:15And then comes back and makes sure that Danelle is dead by shooting him again.
34:19She is stumbling into the roadway and instead of just letting her stay there, he walks up to her, points the gun and shoots her in the head.
34:32I mean that to me is unbelievably barbaric and to do that to family members, you know, your kid's uncle and your kid's mother.
34:45It's horrific. That's not, you know, I'm upset and I shot someone. I lost it. That's an execution.
34:54We got a double homicide. It was in broad daylight. There's several witnesses.
34:59We've got a suspect and I was told he was expected to survive.
35:04Now I'm looking for is enough of a mode to explain why someone would lose their mind and do something so horrific.
35:15You're always looking for the reason why. So please attempt to interview him.
35:26They need to figure out what his mindset was and why he might have done something like this unprovoked.
35:31But Roy invoked his rights not to talk and asked for a lawyer.
35:37We had obviously the right person since he shot on the scene.
35:41I had witness statements. I had the surveillance videos from different angles.
35:46But I'm looking for more information.
35:50Officers look into Roy's movements on the day of the murders and make an unexpected discovery.
35:56We found that he's going to pawn shops and gun stores actively trying to get a gun.
36:05And when he was unsuccessful, he shows up with a gun that had its serial number scratched off.
36:11I don't know when he got this gun, but it appears to me he's been planning this altercation at least that day.
36:21He knows where Jenea is. He knows where most of the family are.
36:27And gets out and just starts shooting right away.
36:29There is no intervening acts at all. It is, I'm going there to murder these people and that's exactly what he did.
36:42Officers are not charged with any wrongdoing in the shooting of Roy Harvison and now have clear evidence he prepared for the attack.
36:48They are still trying to understand why Danelle gets taken out first.
36:53This is someone who felt like he had been wronged.
36:56And I think Roy was worried about Danelle getting out of the car and interfering with him murdering his wife.
37:04So I think that's why he pulls up and he blocks the car.
37:09Danelle, he's a, what I consider an innocent bystander.
37:13He was not the target.
37:15So that day I went on my lunch break and that's when I got the phone call from one of Roy's sisters who work at the daycare.
37:24She said, Danelle got shot and Ned got shot.
37:28I could tell in her voice, she real frantic.
37:31She said, you know, just go straight to the hospital.
37:33And then Crystal calls me and she says, sit down.
37:37And I said, nope, just tell me what's going on.
37:40And she said, he's gone.
37:41And I just felt, I just felt like a part of me just leave.
37:54This is somebody that I've spent most of my life with.
38:00And we was together all the time.
38:03This is my first love, everything.
38:05And I expected it to be with him for the rest of my life.
38:08And we have heads and that wasn't in our plans.
38:19As the family come to terms with their grief, Roy faces court.
38:23We indicted him with two counts of aggravated murder based on purposeful and prior calculation design, along with death penalty specifications for killing two or more individuals.
38:37To the family's dismay, Roy's defense team draws out the proceedings.
38:41For three years, he pled not guilty.
38:44And during the course of those three years, my daily prayer was, Lord, change his heart.
38:56And I don't want to go through a trial.
38:59I knew at that point in my life, emotionally, I couldn't handle it.
39:02I got a call from Crystal, who told me she was rethinking the death penalty and opened negotiations up.
39:15January 19, 2018.
39:18Roy Harvison finally stands before a judge to accept a plea deal of 66 years to life for the murders of Jenea and Donnell.
39:27This is as violent as it gets.
39:30Everyone that he knew or touched or cared for at some time was affected by his actions that day.
39:38And continue to be affected by what happened.
39:42I struggle with, what did we do to you other than love you?
39:47We're not a perfect family.
39:49Didn't say we got it all right, but I just don't believe that there is nothing that my daughter could have ever done to him.
39:58That would warrant you taking her life in the way that you did.
40:03Including her brother who was innocent to whatever was going on in their marriage.
40:10And just destroying our family that way.
40:13I still don't understand it.
40:15I still don't get it.
40:16I walk back my own words of I forgive you because sitting here today, I can't, I can't forgive him for his actions that have now changed our lives forever.
40:35Forever.
40:37Falling!
40:41Jenea was a dedicated mother, someone who was trying to be a positive change in the community.
40:48She was a pioneer before she knew she was a pioneer.
40:51Donnell, he was just a young, young loving guy, a great father, and someone who was still trying to find their purpose.
41:03Life would probably be a lot different if they still were here.
41:09Never again.
41:10If you still were here.
41:11I don't care to have you.
41:12I can't wait to see your friends that were here.
