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.
14:32But after Roy Jr. is born, Jenea buys her first home.
14:37Most people our age weren't able to afford a house like that.
14:41It was a big, huge accomplishment.
14:45Why did we come home?
14:47Ask her if she's thinking about Roy.
14:49You thinking about Roy?
14:50Yep.
14:51Yeah.
14:53Yep.
14:55But because the purchase and the responsibility was totally coming from her and the business,
15:02And I think she didn't involve Roy that much.
15:07While Roy spends most of his time away building his football career,
15:12whenever 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,
15:29that she was more worried about success than she was the family
15:37because she was spending so much time at work.
15:41And those things weighed heavy on her.
15:44She couldn't hurt him with her words.
15:48So her way of getting back at him was to cut his phone off,
15:53throw clothes out of windows, cut tires, and cut off credit cards.
16:00They would break up sometimes,
16:04but they always kind of like got back together.
16:08Good Roy!
16:10Where 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.
16:21She hoped for a change with the move to Urbana because it's a lot closer.
16:29But, 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.
16:54She stayed simply because she wanted her kids to have their mother and their father in the household.
17:06In August 2011, Janea completes her vision of the perfect family when she marries Roy.
17:12Roy 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?
17:30What are you, Roy?
17:32Say, trick or treat!
17:34Say, 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!
17:58She's starting to, at this point, like, spend more money to make him feel happy.
18:05And I do think that he took her for granted at times.
18:10Donnell, he starts to feel like Roy is financially taking advantage.
18:17Janea 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?
18:33And it would be, oh, well, you know, we went and I bought some jewelry for me and my brother or I bought a gun.
18:40As 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 Janea 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, Janea 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, he would pick up the slack because of course I'm a first time mom.
20:27So 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 Janea's disappointment, when Roy leaves college and returns home, he doesn't follow Danelle's parenting lead.
20:45Janea 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.
21:01And she's like, that's not you being responsible.
21:05So Janea hired a nanny because it was hard for her to manage everything.
21:12She could not rely on Roy a hundred percent 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.
22:01In that sense, he started acting out.
22:04I'm hearing about how he is punching the wall, kicking in the door or something.
22:09And then we start to hear of these physical altercations that they're having in public where he felt like she either she said something or she had done something that was inappropriate that maybe embarrassed him.
22:29I'm concerned about what she has to lose if her and her keep going in this direction.
22:37And Janae was like, I can't live like this.
22:41I 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.
22:52In August 2014, Roy leaves the family home.
22:56Roy was living down the street from me in apartments.
23:01He wasn't excluded from anything.
23:04We just knew they were working through whatever they were working through and that was their business.
23:10A month later, Jenea files for divorce.
23:13I 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. It 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.
23:39But 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.
23:50And so this meant big lifestyle change.
23:51Now 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.
24:29We went to a jewelry store downtown.
24:32And he's like, you know, pick out what ring you want, what ring do you want?
24:36And I said, what you up to?
24:38He was 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.
24:46You 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 and for a few days things were great.
25:20But that Sunday, Roy said to my oldest son Christopher, you ain't got to look for a place to stay because I'm going to be moving back home.
25:30You can move into the apartment.
25:31And Janae was like, no, not happening.
25:34And he kind of looked at her like, yeah, whatever, you know, I'm going to move back home.
25:37The 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.
25:47The very following day, April 1st, the office was closed.
25:52We had scheduled a training session.
25:57The class was supposed to be myself, Janae, Tierney, Danelle and Big Roy.
26:03But Janae said, he's not coming.
26:06I just can't wait for this divorce to be over and 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 Danelle were going outside.
26:21The fact that we needed to go just a couple of blocks away is what has me here today.
26:36I saw him. He had a gun.
26:39And he shot the person in the middle of the street.
26:519-1-1, what's your emergency?
26:54Yeah, there's a guy who just shot two people at Cush.
26:57He's caught it through in Parsons.
27:00He'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. Two people. He's in the car now.
27:18We got him pinned down. You got to send us a 10-3.
27:21Listen, we got officers coming out there. Is there an officer shot?
27:24Not yet. Give me some help.
27:26I'm giving my partner a ride back to the precinct substation to pick up his cruiser when we heard an alert call go over the CPD radio.
27:38The next thing I know, we're in the scene.
27:47I can see one male slumped over the wheel in the parking lot of a daycare.
27:53I 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?
28:29We give loud verbal commands, drop the gun, drop the gun.
28:35He looked at us and he said, you're going to have to kill me.
28:39It felt like time slowed.
28:42It felt like 20 minutes.
28:43I know it was a matter of seconds.
28:45He starts to raise that firearm.
28:47He's refusing to drop that gun.
28:49And it's time for us to act.
28:55Oh, 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.
29:03I fired multiple rounds.
29:04He fell to the pavement.
29:06The gun fell from his body.
29:08He was motionless.
29:09He wasn't talking.
29:10We thought he was dead.
29:12I remember I was the first to get on the air with the walkie
29:17and asked for three medics for three possible DOAs.
29:20It wasn't until the first uniformed backup officer arrived
29:24that I really just took a deep breath
29:26and just started to soak in the gravity of the situation
29:29that we had just stumbled upon it.
29:32It was immediately apparent to our medics
29:35that the two victims were deceased.
29:38I didn't realize our suspect was alive.
29:43Medics rushed to save the suspect
29:45as officers secure the area.
29:48Because we were involved in a police officer-involved shooting,
29:52we are removed fairly quickly
29:54and backup officers come in and tape off our scene,
29:57secure everything so that it was untouched.
30:00We have a crime scene search unit
30:03who will come in and work the inner perimeter of that scene
30:07and collect that firearm.
30:10They're collecting samples.
30:12They're looking for where rounds ended up,
30:15his rounds and ours.
30:17They're taking photographs.
30:19We're trying to determine who we're dealing with,
30:21what occurred here.
30:24As the crowd grows,
30:25news of the incident starts to spread.
30:29Tierney and I were pulling into a fast food restaurant
30:33and my phone rang.
30:36And I looked down at the caller ID
30:38and I seen it was our staff member
30:41who was filling in at the class for Big Roy.
30:46She screamed that Mr. Roy just shot and killed Ms. J and Mr. D.
30:52Ms. J and Mr. D.
30:57is what the staff affectionately call Jenea and Donnell.
31:05I'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.
31:15And got to the end of the alley,
31:17I seen Jenea laying in the middle of the street.
31:22Jenea's body
31:25was laying face down
31:28in a pool of blood.
31:31There was the yellow police tape
31:35and police cars
31:37and there was a crowd of people.
31:41They were just trying to figure out what's going on
31:43when the police escorted us
31:45and put us in the pack of a police cruiser.
31:48I never seen Donnell.
31:50All I know is he was laying in the car.
31:53I just hear them come over and pronounce them over the radio
31:57that they both were gone.
32:03The way it was positioned,
32:05that police car allowed me for a long period of time
32:10to continue to look at Jenea's body
32:14lying there in the street.
32:17I couldn't even rationalize what was happening.
32:22As Crystal and Tyranny process what they are seeing,
32:25EMTs rushed and injured Roy to the hospital.
32:29To shoot Donnell, who had nothing to do with it,
32:31it just wasn't, it was uncalled for.
32:34I just think just because he was there,
32:37he just, he killed them too.
32:42We talked to Crystal
32:43and she's forthcoming and telling us
32:45that there were some issues.
32:47Jenea was trying to divorce Roy
32:51and that there have been some threats
32:53and some back and forth
32:54where she wants to break it off,
32:57he doesn't want to.
32:58And I think that's the,
33:00the huge intervening factor here.
33:05Prosecutor James Lowe starts to piece together
33:08how the incident has unfolded.
33:11It was not a clear, perfect video
33:13of the entire crime at all.
33:15Which is why surveillance videos
33:17and witnesses are so important together.
33:19The witness can put the video in perspective
33:23and show you what you don't know you're looking at
33:26unless you were there.
33:28Tell me what exactly happened, what you saw.
33:30I've heard four gunshots,
33:33saw a guy, fire shot,
33:36then walk over to the street where Kosseth is
33:39where a girl had run out and shoot her
33:43and then basically run back
33:46and shoot someone in the car.
33:48You say he shot her.
33:49How many shots do you think he fired up?
33:51Two.
33:52He shot at the officers?
33:54Yeah.
33:55And there was return fire.
34:00It wasn't that Danelle got out of the car
34:02and they had an argument
34:03and said something and they shot him.
34:08It's that he walks right up,
34:10shoots Danelle.
34:13Then he shoots Danelle.
34:16And then comes back and makes sure
34:17that Danelle is dead by shooting him again.
34:21She is stumbling into the roadway
34:26and instead of just letting her stay there,
34:28he walks up to her, points the gun
34:30and shoots her in the head.
34:35I mean, that to me is unbelievably barbaric
34:40and to do that to family members,
34:42you know, your kid's uncle and your kid's mother.
34:46It's horrific.
34:48That's not, you know, I'm upset and I shot someone.
34:52I lost it.
34:53That's an execution.
34:55We got a double homicide.
34:56It was in broad daylight.
34:57There's several witnesses.
34:59We've got a suspect
35:01and I was told he was expected to survive.
35:03Now, what I'm looking for is enough of a mode
35:06to explain why someone would lose their mind
35:09and do something so horrific.
35:10You're always looking for the reason why, so please attempt to interview him.
35:26They need to figure out what his mindset was
35:28and why he might have done something like this unprovoked.
35:33But 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.
35:42I had the surveillance videos from different angles.
35:46But I'm looking for more information.
35:51Officers look into Roy's movements on the day of the murders
35:54and make an unexpected discovery.
35:59We found that he's going to pawn shops and gun stores
36:03actively trying to get a gun.
36:05And when he was unsuccessful,
36:07he shows up with a gun that had its serial number scratched off.
36:13I don't know when he got this gun,
36:15but it appears to me he's been planning this altercation
36:20at least that day.
36:22He knows where Jenae is.
36:25He knows where most of the family are
36:28and gets out and just starts shooting right away.
36:35There is no intervening acts at all.
36:38It is, I'm going there to murder these people,
36:41and that's exactly what he did.
36:43Officers are not charged with any wrongdoing
36:45in the shooting of Roy Harvison
36:46and now have clear evidence he prepared for the attack.
36:49They are still trying to understand
36:51why 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
36:59getting out of the car
37:01and interfering with him murdering his wife.
37:04So I think that's why he pulls up and he blocks the car.
37:08Danelle, he's a, what I consider an innocent bystander.
37:12He was not the target.
37:15So that day I went on my lunch break,
37:19and that's when I got the phone call
37:21from 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.
37:32And then Crystal calls me, and she says, um, sit down.
37:36And I said, nope, just tell me what's going on.
37:39And she said, he's gone.
37:41And I just felt...
37:43I just felt like a part of me just leave.
37:46This 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 to be with him for the rest of my life.
38:08And we had heads, and that wasn't in our plans.
38:19As the family come to terms with their grief,
38:23Roy faces court.
38:25We indicted him with two counts of aggravated murder
38:29based on purposeful and prior calculation design,
38:32along with death penalty specifications
38:34for killing two or more individuals.
38:36To the family's dismay,
38:39Roy's defense team draws out the proceedings.
38:42For three years, he pled not guilty.
38:44And during the course of those three years,
38:49my daily prayer was,
38:52Lord, change his heart.
38:55And I don't want to go through a trial.
38:59I knew at that point in my life, emotionally,
39:02I couldn't handle it.
39:04I got a call from Crystal,
39:06who told me she was rethinking the death penalty,
39:09and opened negotiations up.
39:15January 19, 2018.
39:18Roy Harvison finally stands before a judge
39:21to accept a plea deal of 66 years to life
39:25for 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
39:35was affected by his actions that day,
39:38and continue to be affected by what happened.
39:41I 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,
39:51but I just don't believe that there is nothing that my daughter
39:54could have ever done to him that would want you
40:00taking her life in the way that you did,
40:03including her brother who was innocent
40:07to whatever was going on in their marriage,
40:10and just destroying our family that way.
40:12I still don't understand it.
40:15I still don't get it.
40:17I walked back my own words of I forgive you
40:22because sitting here today, I can't,
40:26I can't forgive him for his actions
40:32that have now changed our lives forever.
40:35Jenea was a dedicated mother, someone who was trying to be a positive change
40:47in the community.
40:49She was a pioneer before she knew she was a pioneer.
40:53Donnell, he was just a young, young loving guy,
40:58a great father,
41:00and someone who was still trying to find their purpose.
41:03Life would probably be a lot different if they still were here.
41:09you
