00:01This program documents actual homicide investigations.
00:05Criminal charges are often dropped or reduced, and all suspects shown are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
00:30We need an ambulance. We need an ambulance. My husband's job. We need help. We need help. We need help.
00:38The apartment is a parking hall at the back.
00:41Okay, here we go. One more on the table.
00:44Hey, your husband is getting out.
00:47E.D., I have it. I'll take it from here.
00:50My husband is on the board. Dad, I need an ambulance now, please. I need an ambulance.
00:57They're already on the way.
00:58He told somebody, what? No, he's bleeding too much.
01:02Dono! Dono!
01:04Is he awake?
01:06He's breathing. He's breathing.
01:09He's breathing.
01:10He's breathing.
01:10Ayúdanos, ayúdanos, ayúdanos, ayúdanos.
01:16Call the police! Has someone been shot?
01:19Yes!
01:24Where's the guy at the time?
01:25No!
01:30Can you not see any of that?
01:32Did you guys see anything?
01:34No.
01:39I'm gonna take care of that, okay?
01:40No!
01:41Give me a trauma.
02:00There's a third person who showed up, St. Francis, who's involved in this also.
02:15There's a casing over here.
02:18There's another one.
02:24And there's multiple back there.
02:28Might be more than one.
02:31We're going to start calling witnesses to detective division to give a statement.
02:41That's right.
02:42Yes, ma'am.
02:45OK.
02:46I will let the crime scene know.
02:48I appreciate it.
02:50Be down.
03:05For homicide detectives, their chance of solving a murder is cut in half if they don't get a lead within
03:12the first 48 hours.
03:32A little after one o'clock this morning, I got a call from about a murder that happened out at
03:36an event center.
03:36There's three people total shot.
03:39One is deceased.
03:41Two others have been transported to the hospital.
03:44The victim's name is Antonio Rosales.
03:5043 year old Antonio Rosales, known as Tonio, was born and raised in Mexico.
03:56When he was 19, he moved to the U.S., where he married his wife, Marisol.
04:02They have four children together.
04:05Antonio's passion was riding horses in Mexican rodeos.
04:11He was shot one time in the upper left chest.
04:14Two other males that were shot, one was shot in the abdomen, the wrist, and the arm.
04:20The other was shot in the lower leg.
04:23They were both in stable condition.
04:27We got about 10 to 12 people here at the detective division to interview.
04:31So we're trying to sort all that out.
04:37I've got the wife.
04:44I'm Detective Farrell.
04:46I'm very sorry that you're having to be up here with us today.
04:49We'll try to get you through this as quickly as we can, all right?
04:54From what I understand, you've been told about Antonio.
04:57Is that correct?
04:59Do you know that he passed?
05:00Yeah.
05:01Okay.
05:04Can you kind of just walk me through what happened tonight?
05:09So you were at the party, and I was sitting here, and he was sitting next to me.
05:14Antonio?
05:14Yeah.
05:15Yeah.
05:16And he had the baby in his arms because she was about to go to sleep.
05:19And then the fight broke out in front of us.
05:21And as soon as they started fighting, I ran towards the band because there was a door to go out.
05:28And then I looked behind me, and he wasn't behind me.
05:31And then when I came back, they had him on the floor.
05:34Yeah.
05:35They shot to his chest.
05:37Yeah.
05:38Where were you guys at?
05:40And so there was a line of tables here.
05:43Uh-huh.
05:44We were about right here.
05:47And the fight was over here.
05:50Did you see what the fight was about?
05:52No, they just started arguing.
05:53And then one punched the other, and he fell, and that's where they shot.
06:00Yeah.
06:00Did you see the person with the gun?
06:01No.
06:02You never saw anybody with a gun?
06:03It sounded like there was two guns.
06:06Okay, and you came back, and Antonio, he was on the ground?
06:09Yeah, yeah.
06:09He was on the floor, and his sister was, um, like, putting pressure on the chest.
06:14And she told me, I saw when he got shot, and he put the, he threw the baby under the
06:18table.
06:20According to Antonio's sister, he was trying to shield their four-year-old daughter.
06:26Did you ever see anybody with a gun, even afterwards?
06:29No.
06:30No?
06:31So whose party is it?
06:33My husband's cousin's wife.
06:35It was her birthday?
06:37Yeah.
06:38She gives him the woman's name and phone number.
06:44This is, uh, nothing I can do to bring him back.
06:50Is there anything else, uh, that you need from me?
06:55Any questions or anything like that?
06:59Okay.
07:02I'm very sorry.
07:04I'll be working nonstop until I can figure out who did this, okay?
07:09Okay.
07:10I'm very sorry for your loss.
07:12I'll get you out of here, okay?
07:22The victim, Antonio, he wasn't involved in any of it.
07:26He was just sitting at the table, uh, just watching over his daughter, you know?
07:31And takes a round.
07:33He tried to hide his daughter underneath the table, uh, and then he collapsed down to the ground.
07:40So, you know, these guys are being very reckless, shooting firearms with this many people in a, in a room.
07:50All right.
07:52Farrell speaks with the wife and 14-year-old daughter of the surviving victim, who was shot in the leg.
07:59Where were you at exactly inside?
08:02I'm going to draw that for you.
08:10We was over here on this side, these two tables over here.
08:15Did you see what caused the fight?
08:18I know that my husband, uh, I think he was kind of mad because, uh, one of the guys, I
08:25think they're trying to give a liquor to her.
08:28And my husband looked him like mad.
08:31And then a few minutes later is when I saw the guy coming, like, saying something, and then I started,
08:36like, fighting.
08:37So that kind of started the fight?
08:39That's what I think.
08:42He hit my dad first.
08:44I remember he had a blue shirt on.
08:47And he was Mexican and he had black hair and he didn't have a hat on or anything.
08:52And then all of a sudden I see my brother and my dad and that guy on the floor.
08:55And they were all just hitting each other.
08:58And then I saw, like, if he was black, and he, like, hit my dad right here.
09:01I just hit him with a gun like that.
09:04With a gun?
09:05Yeah, he had a gun.
09:07But I feel like he was mixed because his skin, it was not, like, dark, dark.
09:12And then his hair is curly.
09:14Maybe mixed, right?
09:16Like, Mexican and, um, black.
09:19Okay.
09:20And, like, I was, like, trying to shoot my husband and then do like this and then start, like, shooting,
09:25like, the tables behind it.
09:28Is he the only one that you saw with a gun?
09:30No.
09:31There was another guy with the, um, jean jacket, the white jacket.
09:36That guy, I saw him in the corner doing like this.
09:40Where was he at over here?
09:42Over here, almost in the corner where the bathroom was.
09:45Okay.
09:46Can you describe him to me?
09:48He was a spinnaker for sure.
09:50He was having some, um, dark glasses over here on the back.
09:54Like eyeglasses, sunglasses?
09:56Like sunglasses.
09:57Blue jeans.
09:58Blue jeans.
10:00And I think it was like a jean jacket with white.
10:04And he was, like, around six foot.
10:07He was skinny though.
10:09Uh, how old do you think he was?
10:11I was seven.
10:1319, 20, yeah.
10:17Did you ever see your husband with a gun?
10:20Mm-mm.
10:21No.
10:23All right.
10:24I think that's all I have.
10:27Thank you for coming down.
10:29Oh, thank you.
10:37Ma'am, come with me right here.
10:40I'm like, I don't like gunshots.
10:42I didn't see him over shooting.
10:44It all happened so fast.
10:46I just hear a cock of a gun, and then shots fired.
10:50You know who shot?
10:51You know him?
10:52No.
10:59The one you saw shooting, how would you describe him?
11:03I just know he was a light-skinned male.
11:06I see.
11:06And he was taller.
11:08He was probably, like, six foot, maybe.
11:12Skinny, heavy?
11:14Um, he was, like, medium-built.
11:15He wasn't skinny, but he wasn't fat either.
11:18Do you remember what color clothing he had on?
11:21I don't know.
11:22Because of everything that happened, my memory just went blank at that second.
11:27So, what was going on?
11:30It looked like a quinceanera or a rookie.
11:32It was a lady's birthday.
11:33It was this lady's birthday.
11:35They were friends with my parents.
11:36Okay.
11:37That's how we got invited to that party.
11:39Okay.
11:40It was her birthday.
11:42And then her, um, son had some friends there.
11:48They were the ones that were shooting.
11:52And I'm sure if you question her son, he's going to know who it is.
11:55Because they were there hanging out with him.
12:13And this is her son, right there.
12:16His name is .
12:23How many people were in his group?
12:25He was probably, like, five or six.
12:27Five or six?
12:28Yeah.
12:29I know there are more bacchanal, like, cowboy type.
12:32He was not bacchanal.
12:33He was, like, gang banger.
12:35But it's, like, baggy pants and all his little friends with tattoos and Jordans.
12:42Do you remember, like, where his group were hanging out inside?
12:47They were right here.
12:49And you're not aware of anyone in their group getting shot?
12:53No.
12:54Because nobody else had those.
13:00Right here.
13:02Do you want to come back here?
13:03Just a second.
13:12Getting some good information about one of the shooters.
13:15Nobody knows who he is, unfortunately, right now.
13:19So we're still trying to get a name of who this guy is.
13:24The birthday girl's son is his group of friends.
13:30He knows them.
13:31Yeah.
13:36That's probably going to be the address.
13:46We're headed out to Sand Springs.
13:49This girl that threw the birthday party.
13:51Her son is supposedly friends with the suspects that we're trying to ID.
14:00It's this one.
14:11Hello.
14:12Can we talk to you?
14:15Yep.
14:15Come in.
14:27They're coming downtown.
14:28They're going to follow us.
14:36All right.
14:37I'm Detective Farrell.
14:39I'm here to talk to you about what happened out there at the party.
14:43Farrell speaks with the son of the woman who hosted the party.
14:47When it all started, we was all chilling, and I was in the back corner.
14:52I took a shot.
14:54I wasn't really trying to drink.
14:55I hate drinking.
14:56I hate feeling hungover.
14:58But I took some shots.
15:00I sat down, sitting there, and then wasn't feeling good.
15:04Close to the bathroom.
15:04I'm throwing up.
15:06I'm washing my face.
15:07Took a drink of water.
15:09Bryce don't grab the door.
15:10I hear screaming, and I hear shots.
15:12When I walked out, that's when everyone's already shooting, and then fighting, and running, and
15:18I see my cousins fighting.
15:21Who are they fighting?
15:23I don't know.
15:24I don't know them.
15:29Who else was there that wasn't locked up with somebody?
15:33Weecho and his brother, Max.
15:36Weecho?
15:37Yeah, Weecho.
15:37I don't know how to spell that one.
15:38They're second cousins.
15:40They're like, distant cousins.
15:42Those are the ones that I was really kind of hanging out with.
15:48So are you aware that people are saying it's your friends that were shooting?
15:54I mean, I could say it was one of them, but I don't know who it was.
16:02Whenever you walked outside, did you see someone with a gun?
16:07Uh, I see Max with one.
16:12What kind of gun was it?
16:14Uh, it was probably a block.
16:17But I don't know who shot.
16:19Because when I walked out, there was no more shooting.
16:23Max, he had the gun, like this side, kind of like that.
16:26So I don't know if he shot.
16:29Does he have Facebook or anything like that?
16:33Yeah.
16:42Max Perez?
16:44Who is?
16:44Who is?
16:49Do you mind if I look at this real quick?
16:54Is this a picture of him?
16:57Yeah, that's him.
17:01That guy in the corner doing like this.
17:04It was like a jean jacket with white.
17:10Was Max wearing those sunglasses tonight too?
17:14Yeah.
17:15He was having some dark glasses over here in the back.
17:18Sunglasses.
17:21You and Cecil's glasses everywhere you go.
17:38Is that what he looks like right now?
17:40Yeah.
17:47Where does Max live at?
17:49I think it's like B.A. or somewhere far out there.
17:53He says he lives in Broken Arrow, a suburb 14 miles away.
17:58What kind of car does Max drive?
18:00Max drives a Volkswagen.
18:03I think gray or white.
18:07He says like in a relationship with .
18:12She is Max's girl.
18:15Who else did you see with a gun?
18:19Just Max when I walked out.
18:22Who did Max leave with?
18:25Honestly, I don't know.
18:26And Weecho, do you have him on Facebook?
18:30Weecho, I don't think so.
18:32What was Weecho wearing?
18:34She was wearing just a plain black shirt.
18:37Do you have a number for Weecho?
18:39No.
18:40I don't have the number of Max's.
18:42You carry a gun?
18:44Yeah.
18:45Did you shoot?
18:46No.
18:47No.
18:47I walked out.
18:48You pulled a gun out?
18:48I was about to, but then that's when I see Max and I was worried about Max trying to do
18:52some more stupid if he did shoot.
18:54So I grabbed him because he had a gun like that.
18:58What about Weecho?
19:00I know he has guns. I don't know if he had one on him.
19:04All right. Just hang tight for me.
19:14He puts a gun in Max's hand.
19:16Yeah.
19:17Most of the people are saying the guy that was shooting was standing in the area where the birthday girl's
19:23son said that he saw Max.
19:25They described that jacket.
19:28He was wearing sunglasses.
19:29I mean, clothing-wise, facial, the sunglasses, everything about it is Max.
19:4028-year-old Maximiliano Perez Pina was born in Los Angeles. He attended high school in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. He
19:49has no prior convictions.
19:53Weecho, whoever that is. It's supposed to be Max's brother, but I don't know the name.
20:00The Warrens' squad will look out for Max as detectives prepare lineups for their witnesses.
20:06I don't want to wait too long. That gun's going to be gone before too long.
20:21The next day.
20:24That guy. Sweet.
20:28Mark showed about four or five different people the photo lineups, and every one of them picked Max Perez as
20:35being the shooter.
20:37So, we have PC now. We're working on a warp.
20:42He does have a white Volkswagen that's registered to him.
20:45It's a Volkswagen Jetta.
20:48Figure out the tag.
20:54About an hour after the murder, he has to get an axon hit on his car at 71st and Louis,
20:59going west.
21:01Max's car was spotted six miles away from the crime scene.
21:07So, we learned that Max is driving a little white sedan.
21:11We tracked that car out to the area of 71st and Yale.
21:22Morris just found the car.
21:24All right.
21:26Warrens had been out looking for it. They found it at an apartment complex.
21:31I'll try to get to the back of the vehicle.
21:33Table.
21:35Warrens has gone and talked to management out there and learned that Max's girlfriend is actually renting an apartment right
21:41in front of where that car is found.
21:44Our warrants units, they're sitting up on that right now.
21:49I need you to contain the helmet and we should be good.
21:52Fellas, they start shooting at us.
21:55I'll meet you all out there.
22:03We're headed down south part of Tulsa.
22:06We know that Max has a girlfriend who lives down here at this apartment.
22:09His car is there.
22:19That's his car right there.
22:261632.
22:26We're going to start announcements.
22:30This is the post-reached apartment.
22:32We need to come outside with nothing in your room.
22:34So, make sure you have to be offered.
22:35Dexat-la технолог.
22:47An operation in Minecraft.
22:48You arm the phones that you use and nothing in your room.
22:50All directions of the officers.
22:59Alright.
23:00I'm going to head for a 1 dah before.
23:17All right, 40's moving up.
23:29Whatever, you ready?
23:35Clear.
23:38Nobody's in there. Max isn't in there. Department's empty.
23:43His girlfriend, I don't know if she has a car or not, but if she does, they're probably gone.
23:51This thing's gassed pretty bad, so it's gonna have to air out quite a while before we actually go in
23:56there.
23:57We'll get crime scene out here.
24:12They found a couple of mags for a rifle, a pistol, holster, and that's really about it.
24:20No jean jacket.
24:22We contacted Max's work.
24:24He's not shown up.
24:25Max's girlfriend, she hasn't shown up for work.
24:30Max has turned his phone off.
24:32I assume that they're probably together at this point, so I'm gonna look into her phone, and maybe that can
24:38direct us to where they're at.
24:42We'll leave it up to Warren.
24:44Thank you, guys.
24:45Yes, sir.
25:07Six days into the investigation, as the warrant squad continues to search for Max and his girlfriend.
25:13I got one witness on the second shooter.
25:16Farrell gets another lead.
25:18I got information through Crimestopper's tip that the other shooter involved in this was...
25:23Max's brother, Weecho.
25:27His name's Luis Perez.
25:30So I'm doing a photo line-up together.
25:32We'll see.
25:36We're headed to show a photo line-up to the wife of Manuel.
25:39Manuel was shot in the leg.
25:41She was there when all this happened, and she was really close to this second shooter.
25:46So we'll go see if she can pick out Luis.
25:52Hi, how are you?
25:53I'm gonna have him show it to you, okay?
26:03Well, thank you for your time.
26:09She picked him.
26:10Yeah.
26:12The witness identifies Luis Perez as the second shooter.
26:19She went like, boom, boom, boom.
26:20That's him right there.
26:21That's the one who had a darker complected.
26:24She said, that was the one that had a gun that was trying to get at my husband.
26:29If you're gonna get a warrant out for brothers, that's gonna be awesome.
26:40Luis Angel Perez, he's the one they were calling Weecho.
26:45He doesn't have any serious past charges.
26:4927-year-old Luis Angel Perez was born and raised in Tulsa.
26:54He works for a metal fabricating company.
27:00So, Warrants got information about Luis's phone.
27:04The business way out east of Tulsa recovered it.
27:09It was tossed under the bridge.
27:11So, I'm thinking he tried to toss it in the river and it didn't quite make it.
27:16We learned that Luis works in West Tulsa.
27:19Warrants went out there and contacted his bosses.
27:22They notified them that he didn't show up.
27:25They were also informed that Luis's girlfriend had shown up out there trying to get his paycheck.
27:31And notified them that Luis would be gone indefinitely.
27:35That tells me that Luis is probably on the run and has a big part of this.
27:40Luis's girlfriend, we ended up getting her contact information.
27:45We've been able to reach out to her to see if she'll come in and talk to us.
27:49I'm typing up a search warrant for her phone.
28:00The next day...
28:03My name's Jason Schilling. I'm a detective up here.
28:06Okay.
28:07Luis's girlfriend agrees to come to homicide.
28:10The, uh, birthday party?
28:13Mm-hmm.
28:14Were you there?
28:15Mm-hmm.
28:17Okay, did you know the birthday girl?
28:19No.
28:20What do you remember happening leading up to and during the shooting?
28:26Well, I mean, I'm not sure because I didn't see it happen.
28:29I heard shots, and right now I'm just looking at everybody else's dead.
28:33So what happened after you right now?
28:36I just don't know.
28:38So when you left, did Luis leave with you?
28:41Mm-hmm.
28:42We lived together?
28:43Mm-hmm.
28:45Where's Luis right now?
28:47I'm not sure.
28:48When did he leave?
28:51Uh, excuse me, I haven't heard from him since.
28:56How long have you guys been together?
28:59Five years.
29:01You've been together five years, and he just leaves without telling you where he's going or why he's leaving?
29:06Mm-hmm.
29:08He said, I'm going to the store, I'm going to my mom's, I'm going...
29:11He said, I'll be back.
29:14And he left, and that was Sunday?
29:16Mm-hmm.
29:17How did he leave?
29:20I'm not sure.
29:22You need to try to call him?
29:24Yeah, I mean, obviously, he just has his voice, huh?
29:29Okay.
29:30If you lie to help Luis, at a minimum, that's considered obstruction, which is misdemeanor.
29:39And at a maximum, it's considered an accessory after the fact.
29:44So you don't know where he's at or where he would get?
29:48No.
29:50So, you know someone died, correct?
29:53Yeah, I was just going to die.
29:56Here's the deal.
29:57We have a warrant to search your phone.
30:01Hang out.
30:06So her boyfriend is one of our suspects, and she wants to sit there and act like she doesn't know
30:11anything about what's going on, but yet he disappears the day of the murder and hasn't called or texted, hadn't
30:21told her where he was going, nothing.
30:24Depending on if she's given him any aid to skip town and to avoid detection and arrest, she could be
30:31looking at some trouble.
30:38So, a little over a week after the murder, she receives $1,000 from Luis in a transfer.
30:50And then later that same day, she transfers $16,630 to a lady, and I'm assuming in Mexico.
31:00You're not going to transfer pesos in America, so there's a very good chance our boy's down in Mexico.
31:21It would appear that Luis's girlfriend might be leaving some stuff out.
31:30Let's see what she's got to say.
31:38Is what you've told me the truth?
31:43Told you what I know, at least.
31:45When's the last time you had any contact or heard anything from Luis?
31:51It was that night.
31:53Okay, so did Luis send you $1,000 on Monday?
31:58Um, his account, yeah, I'm not sure how I got it, but I have it on my phone.
32:04And then what did you do with that $1,000?
32:09Um, I paid rent.
32:11Here locally?
32:12Mm-hmm.
32:13Not in Mexico?
32:14Mm-hmm.
32:17Who is ?
32:20Grandma.
32:21Your grandma?
32:22Mm-hmm.
32:23And what did you send her Monday?
32:27Send her money.
32:29What do you think that looks like?
32:32I don't know, what are you guys thinking?
32:35It looks like you're sending money to him in Mexico.
32:41I want to talk to my lawyer at this point, because I feel like anything I say, you guys are
32:45going to twist around.
32:47Because you guys-
32:48That's probably a good idea, because remember what I told you?
32:51You could be an accessory, or you could be obstruction.
32:54Mm-hmm.
32:55Based on what I see in your phone, I'm going to go with accessory.
33:08Max's girlfriend decided to jump in the water with him, and Louise's girlfriend made the same decision.
33:15So, we'll see what the DA's office thinks about it.
33:25Detectives in the warrant squad continue the hunt for Max, his girlfriend, and Louise.
33:34A month into the search.
33:37We got Max's girlfriend's phone records back.
33:40This shows that she's leaving Tulsa on the 28th that night.
33:45She goes through Oklahoma City, travels down to Dallas.
33:49Going deeper in her phone records, we found out that she had made a stop at a quick trip down
33:54in Dallas.
33:55They're both together.
34:02Her last hit on her cell phone was north of Laredo, Texas, at a bus stop right at the border
34:08to Mexico.
34:10It's a bus station used to travel from the U.S. down to Mexico.
34:18We got their passenger logs at 9.15 on the 29th.
34:24Max's girlfriend, Max Perez and Louise Perez, all boarded a bus.
34:30Their destination was in Zacatecas, Mexico, which is where she's from.
34:37We know they're down there in Mexico.
34:39They're together.
34:41We've been in contact with the feds and they've been in contact with authorities down in Mexico.
34:48And they're working that end of it.
34:51It's going to be a long process.
34:53They could be caught next week.
34:55They could be caught four years from now.
34:59We were also able to get flood camera footage from the area.
35:03The car that they're in at the quick trip, Nissan Versa.
35:07It's going to be Louise's girlfriend's car.
35:10How did he leave?
35:12I'm not sure.
35:14The D.A., they've decided to file charges for accessory for both Louise's girlfriend and Max's girlfriend.
35:23Louise's girlfriend is getting arraigned for accessory.
35:27We're going to make contact with her to see if she'll come talk to us.
35:36All right.
35:37Louise's girlfriend agrees to return to homicide with her attorney.
35:45That's a picture of your car in Dallas.
35:49That's Dallas, Texas.
35:51Okay.
35:51Your car is down in Dallas where they get on a bus and they get to Mexico.
36:01Did you drive him to Dallas?
36:05No.
36:09Now's the time to be honest.
36:23I know you have a lot more information than what you're telling me right now.
36:30I get it looks guilty, like obviously for leaving, but I don't want to say something I don't even know.
36:35We're not asking you to say anything you don't know.
36:37But I think it's reasonable to assume he's nervous he wants to leave because he's involved in something.
36:45Yeah.
36:46Okay.
36:47Well, do you do you assume that Max and Louise were the ones that were involved in this murder?
36:52Um, not Louise, no.
36:55I don't believe that.
36:57What if I told you that it's a definite that there were two people that were shooting?
37:04And I have multiple witnesses that pick both of them out of photo arms.
37:09A lot of people were firing shots, but my back was too, so I never, like, saw what happened.
37:15So you couldn't say it wasn't Louise?
37:17No, I can't because I never saw what happened.
37:22Who did you send the money to in Mexico?
37:25I don't remember the name.
37:27But originally you said it was your grandma or something.
37:31But that's not your grandma.
37:32No.
37:37What did Louise tell you about what happened?
37:40He never went into detail about what happened.
37:44And I kind of was just like, well, you got yourself in the sense.
37:50Because I didn't do anything, so I was just pissed that it was even a thing, that it even happened.
37:57All right, I think we're done.
38:03Louise's girlfriend and Max's girlfriend assisted them in leaving the country.
38:08They're both being charged as an accessory to the murder.
38:13You just never know what some people think and how they treat certain situations, you know.
38:18They should have just called the police to let us know where they were.
38:22They obviously had a choice to make and they just chose the wrong one.
38:33Two months later.
38:35Max and Louise were both picked up in Zacatecas, Mexico.
38:39The FBI had their contacts down there.
38:42They ended up getting them arrested.
38:44They'd been brought back and they're now in Tulsa.
38:48On the way over here from the jail, Louise, he lawyered up.
38:55I've got a search warrant for his DNA and fingerprints, so we're going to do that then send him back
38:59over there.
39:05What's up, Max?
39:06Hey.
39:07I'm Detective Farrell.
39:09These slurs are silly.
39:10Slurs.
39:14You know why you're here?
39:15If you're willing to talk to me about what happened, I'll just have you sign right there.
39:21I don't.
39:22Okay.
39:23You want an attorney?
39:24Yes, sir.
39:26This is a search warrant?
39:27That's for your DNA.
39:31Unfortunately, he doesn't want to tell us this side of the story.
39:35You know, there's always unanswered questions and we'd like to, you know, see the other side of the story.
39:40But unfortunately, he chose not to provide that.
39:48We didn't get a statement from Max and Louise.
39:51I think they already had it in their mind that they were going to talk to us.
39:56It originally started because someone had tried to give an underage girl some alcohol at the party, which stirred up
40:04an argument.
40:05At some point, Max bumped into one of the people that were over by Antonio, which started up the fight,
40:11which resulted in Max and Louise both pulling out guns and shooting.
40:16I mean, it's unfortunate.
40:18With a big group party with young kids there, there was no reason to have guns there.
40:24Antonio had nothing to do with any of it.
40:27He wasn't a part of the fight or anything.
40:29He happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
40:32It's very tragic.
40:34Very tragic.
41:28The baby, sometimes she's like, let's go see Papa.
41:33She knows that he's, you know, at the cemetery and she knows that he's sleeping because that's what I told
41:38her when she saw him in the casket.
41:42When they were shooting, he hugged her like this and then he threw her under the table so she wouldn't
41:49get shot.
41:50So behind the baby's dress is his blood.
41:54That's something of him that's there.
42:03He worked very hard to accomplish a lot of things.
42:09He loved rodeos.
42:12Every Sunday, he would go to the rodeo and perform.
42:18He grew up without a father, so he wanted to make sure that his kids, you know, they had everything,
42:24you know, and they did.
42:26I miss everything about him, like you lost your other half, you know, and we have been together for this
42:35long, so it's like, how do you live, you know?
42:38I miss everything.
42:42I miss everything.
42:43You
