00:01This program documents actual homicide investigations.
00:05Criminal charges are often dropped or reduced,
00:07and all suspects shown are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
00:20Fire, medical.
00:21Police and medical.
00:22What's going on?
00:23All I know is there was fighting, gunshot,
00:25there was a dying leg in the middle of the road.
00:31Hello?
00:32Yes, we need him, sir.
00:34Are you right there where the patient is?
00:36Yes, he's on the ground.
00:39Is he awake?
00:40Yes, he's breathing.
00:41I need to hurry up because he's bleeding bad.
00:45Avalanche is on the way.
00:48They're on the way.
00:49They're on the way.
00:51They're still breathing.
00:52Okay, he's still breathing.
00:53You're breathing.
00:58You're breathing.
00:58We need you, baby.
00:59We need you, baby.
01:01We need you to go to the hospital.
01:06The people that jump in the cart that shot him,
01:11one of them got hit in the leg.
01:12Yes.
01:12So next should be going to a hospital.
01:13Yes.
01:14Hey, they said one of our suspects
01:16might have been hit in the leg, too.
01:17So let us know if somebody shows up at the hospital
01:19as soon as you figure that out.
01:20All right, he shot in the first place.
01:22He ran.
01:25He ran?
01:26He heard his friends say, run, run, fuck it.
01:28Like, ran down this creek bed.
01:30Hey, Cam!
01:32They just now told me one of the shooters ran on foot.
01:37Hey, Hauk, they said he went that way toward the creek.
01:40Let's go this way.
01:41Clear this, where he was kind of headed.
01:45Let's go around the front and work this side down here.
01:59Look at this hoodie.
02:01We tracked the suspect this way, but now we can't find him.
02:10Go.
02:13Pronounced at the hospital?
02:15Yeah, I gotcha.
02:17He has passed away.
02:19Being deferred to homicide.
02:32For homicide detectives, their chance of solving a murder is cut in half
02:37if they don't get a lead within the first 48 hours.
02:56So, Brandon gave me a call about 30 minutes ago, said, we got a homicide.
03:02Our victim already been transported?
03:04He wasn't 10-7 here.
03:05He was still...
03:06He still had a pulse when he was here.
03:07Okay.
03:08They announced him at the hospital.
03:09And who is him?
03:10His name is Farron, F-A-R-R-O-N, Cooper.
03:1623-year-old Farron Cooper was raised in Tulsa, where he attended Union High School.
03:22He loved music and dreamed of becoming a rapper.
03:26He had three children and another on the way.
03:32He lives here?
03:33Yeah, he...
03:34Well, yes.
03:35The woman over here, his...
03:36His baby mama.
03:41That's where the guy was found.
03:44Okay.
03:45Has anybody been able to say that they heard one, two, three, four shots?
03:49Yeah, I think he, the guy that we're getting ready to talk to is saying he heard two.
03:53And the guy looks like he's been shot twice.
03:55Farron was shot once in the stomach and once in the hip.
03:58We heard two shots.
03:59We got two casings.
04:01Both of the casings are .40 caliber.
04:05If you don't mind, start photographing and collecting it.
04:07I appreciate it.
04:22I got about eight witness statements.
04:28One of our witnesses said, hey, y'all should be having another suspect to show up at a hospital with
04:33a shot in his leg.
04:34Patrol checked nearby emergency rooms and found a man recently found a man in the hospital.
04:38He admitted with a gunshot wound to the leg.
04:43We're gonna bring him down here.
04:44He will be transported to homicide once he's released by the hospital.
04:50Looks like a camera right there.
04:53He also has a ring doorbell there.
04:56Detectives find a security camera on the house belonging to the mother of Farron's children.
05:03Let me try to talk to baby mama.
05:09I'm Vernon.
05:11I know this is tough, okay?
05:12I'm sorry for what you're going through.
05:14We're more likely going to have to process part of the house.
05:17The easiest and quickest way we can get that done is if you'd be willing to sign what's called a
05:21search waiver.
05:21Would you be willing to sign one, honey?
05:25Okay.
05:26I know this is a tough time for you, and we're probably going to need you to go down to
05:31the detective division with us.
05:32It won't take long.
05:34How far along are you?
05:37Okay, yeah, I don't want that stress on you, so we're going to get you taken care of as quickly
05:41as we can, okay, honey?
05:45You handle these main witnesses, head on downtown, have these people brought downtown.
05:49Right.
05:49While the team continues to process the scene, Detective Jeff Gatwood heads to homicide to begin interviewing witnesses.
06:09We're a victim that passed, Mr. Cooper, the mother of his child.
06:13I'm going to go interview her in a second, and we'll go from there.
06:22I'm the one that's doing this investigation of Mr. Cooper's shooting, okay?
06:27This is a detective ward.
06:29This shouldn't have happened, okay?
06:32But somebody shot him, so it's very important that you tell me everything that you know.
06:38Don't hold back.
06:43Frank came to see his kids, yeah, just got out of jail today.
06:48She says when Farron was released from jail earlier today, he showed up at the house with a friend.
06:54I'm assuming he lives with you?
06:56No, he been in jail. We had broke up, like, a couple weeks before he went to jail.
07:01How long was he in jail?
07:03Two months.
07:04So how many kids do you have with Mr. Cooper?
07:08I have two, and then I'm pregnant with Mr. Cooper.
07:12I need you to tell me about what happened today.
07:16While we're outside, my sister was coming to get my kids, and Farron, he grabbed the kids, and he took
07:24them to the car.
07:25I ran back to the house to go get some diapers and the wipes.
07:28When I came out, there was a truck and pulled off, and I seen Farron left on the ground.
07:36I ran to the house, and I tried to get some shirts or something to hold.
07:51You're doing a really good job, sweetie.
07:53Clarification about the black truck. When did this black truck come in play?
07:57I didn't know it pulled up. I didn't know I was in the house.
08:01Who was in that truck?
08:02I don't know. I couldn't see in that truck. It was black tint. It was all black.
08:08So, did you hear gunshots?
08:11Yeah.
08:13Maybe like three years old.
08:18Hold on.
08:20Hold on a second.
08:21Keep on talking to her. I've got to take this call.
08:23An officer calls Detective Gatwood from the crime scene.
08:28So, I just want to make sure I kind of have an understanding of what happened.
08:32When did Farron show back up at the house?
08:35He was already at the house for a couple of hours before all this happened.
08:39How was things going when he was there at the house? Was it just you and him and the kids?
08:45He was just arguing.
08:48He was trying to take the TV.
08:51He's drunk. He's super drunk.
08:56I want to ask you a question, and I don't want you to take it the wrong way, but it's
08:59something that we kind of need to understand, okay?
09:02I know if he shows up and he's drunk and he's having problems, and you're wanting him gone, is there
09:08a chance that somebody else got called to come over there to help with that?
09:12No.
09:14Are you sure?
09:15He don't put his hands on me. He don't take it that far. It's none of that. We was just
09:21like a petty argument. Like, I'm gonna take the TV. No, you're not.
09:27Okay.
09:34So, who is .
09:39That's my friend.
09:40What do you mean, your friend?
09:44So, was he over there tonight?
09:46Yes, he was there.
09:48She admits there was another man already at the house when Farron showed up.
09:53So, you didn't tell us that earlier, did you?
09:57I was just kind of starting to dig into the fact that I think Farron may have showed up causing
10:02problems after getting out of jail, and I was trying to ask for...
10:05They were cool. They weren't fighting or nothing like that. They were cool. They were shaking hands and talking.
10:12Okay, so and Farron got into an argument.
10:16No, they wasn't arguing and none of that. Like, they didn't get into an argument.
10:21Okay, because this is what's important is that we get all the truth, because, again, Farron's dead, and you have
10:31to tell the whole truth to us.
10:40Okay, so this is what happened.
11:08It was already there.
11:11She says her friend had been at the house for half an hour
11:13when Farron and his friend first arrived.
11:18They dap, they talked, you know, they were chilling.
11:23And everything was cool.
11:25They all was in the room, and they all pulled out their guns.
11:30They both were sharing, you know, like showing each other, so they swapped.
11:34So this is just, we're just looking at each other's guns?
11:37Yeah, they just looking.
11:39And then they leave.
11:41She says a short while later, Farron's friend left the house.
11:45We were all in the living room, and then he realized that his gun was missing.
11:50She says that her friend claimed that he couldn't find his gun.
11:55And so he asked Farron, like, hey, bro, you know where my gun is?
12:00And Farron was like, no, you know, help them look for it.
12:03You know, he just helped them look for it.
12:05So then Farron called.
12:07She says Farron called his friend that left and demanded he return so they could search
12:12his car.
12:13They pulled up.
12:15They was looking in the car for the gun.
12:19My sister was coming to get my kids.
12:21She says minutes later, her sister arrived to pick up her children for the evening.
12:31So Farron was putting the kids in your sister's car, right?
12:34Yes.
12:34Putting juts.
12:35I ran into the house to go get the diapers and the wipes.
12:39When I went outside, her car was gone.
12:41All the cars were gone.
12:43And Farron was on the ground.
12:44And everybody was gone.
12:50It sounds like, to me, why this happened is there was obviously people that got upset
12:55about a gun missing.
12:57And it sounds like it went south from there.
13:00But we're going to find out.
13:03So everything you've told me so far is the truth?
13:07Yeah.
13:08All right.
13:10Okay, hang tight.
13:13So after we cleared the crime scene, a family member showed up and told us about a friend
13:18that was staying with her while Farron was in jail.
13:22The same person at the hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg.
13:28He walked out of Hillcrest.
13:30Officers caught him coming out.
13:32Officers took the friend into custody and are transporting him to homicide.
13:38Now, he needs to come in and talk.
13:42Witnesses, we need to still talk to them.
13:51I know, honestly, this has been going on since like 2 o'clock today.
13:55Detective Vernon McNeil interviews a neighbor who was outside at the time of the shooting.
14:00And they kept fighting.
14:00I believe it was over a stolen gun from what I could hear.
14:05While this is happening, this damn truck pulls up, you know, like 50.
14:11They hopped out.
14:12They were there to do what they came to do.
14:18How many people hopped out?
14:20The driver was like 300 pounds.
14:23Okay, so the driver?
14:24He didn't shoot.
14:25He was trying to break it up.
14:26The driver was.
14:28He seemed like a older dude who didn't know what he just got himself into.
14:33He had three passengers with him.
14:36They were all lanky with dreads.
14:38So there's four in it.
14:39Yes, sir.
14:40Well, the guy who got out the passenger backseat had a hoodie on.
14:44He puts his hoodie on while he's arguing with the victim.
14:47Pulls the strings tight.
14:48He gets his gun in his hand.
14:49And they're just acting hard at this point.
14:51And he points it at the victim.
14:53And the victim's like, my kids are right here.
14:58Victim lunge, I hit him and I grabbed the guy.
15:00Now I'm saying, you know, he shot him.
15:03I'm like, point the way.
15:06And the second one was cold blood, man.
15:09Because he had already, uh, the first one dropped him.
15:16Describe the shooter.
15:17How tall do you think he was?
15:196'2", 6'3".
15:20He was fairly taller than me.
15:22But he was really slim.
15:24He could have been, I'm 27.
15:26I don't even think he was my age.
15:28He looked like a damn baby.
15:30And he had dreads.
15:31How far, how long were he dreads, do you think?
15:34Short length.
15:35Short length.
15:42You see this black avalanche comes zooming down.
15:46Lieutenant Brandon Watkins interviews another neighbor.
15:50All four doors open and people flood off, like three to five people.
15:54And then shot to fire.
15:57Like, I think three, maybe two to the guy who died.
16:00And then another one to, I think, the guy who got back in the truck.
16:03Pulled the guy that was shot into the car.
16:06And then he pulled the other guy into the car.
16:07She says the man who was shot in the leg got into the black truck that had just shown up.
16:13I remember, because the guy who was a shooter, he was trying to get out of the truck.
16:16Like, no, no, no, just run, run.
16:18He ran down the creek.
16:19He threw his head off.
16:21He was wearing a camo hoodie with orange on the sides.
16:24He ran.
16:25And he booked it.
16:25And then a little bit off the car, you could hear the door slamming.
16:27And then you could hear the screeching of the tires, and they're gone.
16:36Black truck pulls up one of the backseat passengers, puts his hoodie up, yanks the cord down, pulls it, has
16:42his gun out.
16:43And then the victim says, man, don't do this in front of my kid.
16:45And then he tries to swipe at the gun, and then he fires twice.
16:49The dude shoots twice at him, and one of the rounds went through and hits the kid with a gunshot
16:55wound.
16:57How did he get to the hospital?
16:59They loaded him up.
17:00So after the gunshots go off, the other guys grab the gunshot dude, load him up into the car, and
17:06they're yelling at the shooter, run.
17:07The car or the black truck?
17:08The black truck.
17:09They load him up at the black truck, and they take off.
17:15This is clear as mud, isn't it?
17:17It's just chaotic with all the different moving parts, and had a lot of drama over guns and women, makings
17:24of a good blues song right there, that turned into a murder-splash shooting.
17:37Five hours in.
17:39Just have a seat over there.
17:43We've got a guy that we're going to go interview here in a second.
17:46He was a survivor of this deal.
17:48So he's been shot, and hopefully he'll be honest and tell us who shot him and what's this about.
17:57Yeah, Brad?
17:59Before Gatwood can begin the interview...
18:01Okay, go ahead.
18:02...he gets a break.
18:05All right, thanks, buddy.
18:08Black Will had an SID with a gun crime unit.
18:11He just gave me a call.
18:12I guess he has an informant that called him and said that there's a guy they call Q-Blood.
18:18He might be the possible shooter on this deal.
18:34Q-Blood went there to fight the victim, and it went from a fist fight to a gunfight.
18:47Supposedly, Q-Blood shot our victim, and then he shot his homeboy.
18:55So this kid, he may know everything that we need to know.
19:01You just got to figure out who the hell Q-Blood is.
19:03He's witnessed this.
19:04He's going to know who all was involved.
19:17You all right, big man?
19:20All right.
19:21I'm Detective Gatwood.
19:22This is Detective Ward.
19:24We're homicide detectives, okay?
19:25Hello, Mr.
19:26Yeah, homicide.
19:29Mr. Cooper?
19:30You know Mr. Cooper?
19:31I know both of you.
19:33Okay.
19:33Well, he's passed away.
19:35So, real quick, have you been shot?
19:38Yes.
19:39We're at?
19:39We're in my league.
19:40Okay.
19:42Where do you live at?
19:44Like, really, really, like, nowhere, but you could say...
19:49You couch surfing?
19:51No, kind of, but the pregnant chick is my girl.
19:55Okay.
19:56Like, wait, for me, we...
19:58You've been staying there with her?
19:59Yeah.
20:00Okay.
20:00So, let's go back to today.
20:03Were you over...
20:04Were you there at the house today?
20:06He ended up to the house with my son.
20:08I'm going to go over there and get his clothes.
20:09Going there, boom.
20:10Me and her kicking and we're chilling, talking for a minute.
20:14I'm doing it.
20:15I heard some crazy ass...
20:17No.
20:18What?
20:18I'm here.
20:21And what's up?
20:22And, like, not nothing, like, aggressive or like that,
20:25but just happy, basically.
20:26It's like...
20:28It's our baby daddy.
20:29Boom.
20:31Automatically, you know, I'm thinking, this about to be tripping.
20:35But he came to me and said,
20:37bro, I appreciate you, bro, for taking care of my kids, bro,
20:39and all that boom, boom, and everything like this.
20:41I said, bro, no problem, bro.
20:43Were there other people with him?
20:44Yes.
20:46So I go outside and go feed the dogs.
20:49When I'm going back in the house...
20:52The baby daddy's just trying to take all her stuff.
20:55Everything.
20:56Steal the out of, like, take it.
20:58He's still the out of the house.
21:00He's trying to take the big-ass TV out of the house.
21:02Boom.
21:02I tell her, hey, man, don't worry about it, bro.
21:04Let them take it, bro.
21:05Call your brother over here.
21:07When I say that, he come grabs me.
21:09Boom.
21:09Like this.
21:10I say, hey, man, get a puppy.
21:11Move him.
21:11Grab him.
21:11Put him on the wall like this, boom.
21:14So then when that happened, I go in and give me a knife.
21:18I'm like, listen, bro.
21:20Please, bro, just leave out of here, bro.
21:22What was his boys doing?
21:23This is the funny thing.
21:24They left.
21:26They had a little son.
21:27Left him there.
21:30He's tripping.
21:31Coming at me sideways for no reason.
21:33Talking about how he's going to be his homies with Draco's and all that crazy stuff.
21:37Boom, boom.
21:39I'm telling you, bro, I don't live for a room.
21:41I'm just here.
21:42My balls is here.
21:44My clothes is here sometimes.
21:45She's helping me wash my clothes.
21:47Boom.
21:48And I come help her with her kids.
21:50She's pregnant.
21:51I take her to the doctor.
21:53I take her to the hospital.
21:54Everything.
21:56Did somebody's gun end up missing earlier at the house?
22:00We talked to your girl.
22:01She already said you had a gun earlier and Cooper had a gun.
22:20He says she searched Farron's friend's car, but didn't find his missing gun.
22:28Okay, so what happened from there?
22:29A truck come in.
22:30Boom.
22:31And everybody jumped out.
22:33And what was this truck?
22:35What did it look like?
22:35It's a dark truck.
22:37Who said, you know, I'm beating up everybody.
22:39They start fighting.
22:40Boom.
22:40The truck grabbed my mama.
22:41I grabbed right there.
22:42I got shot.
22:43Boom.
22:44And I said, I'm shot.
22:45I'm shot.
22:46I'm shot.
22:47I pulled out some money out of my pocket.
22:49I said, give me a ride to the hospital.
22:52Some guys can do whatever the it is.
22:55He said, give it to me.
22:57Threw me in the truck.
22:59So the guy in the black truck gave you a ride out of there?
23:01Yeah.
23:02For your ass money.
23:04Okay, so what happened to Mr. Cooper?
23:06You're not the only one who got shot.
23:07I didn't shoot.
23:08That's not what I said.
23:09I said, what happened to Mr. Cooper?
23:11Oh, I'm sorry.
23:12I apologize.
23:13I apologize.
23:14As soon as I got hit, I left and asked her
23:18what was going on.
23:20She said, my baby daddy got shot.
23:24Did you know anybody in that black truck?
23:26When that truck pulled up, I said, listen,
23:28I thought I knew this, but to be honest,
23:32I don't know.
23:33But you have a red and black truck.
23:35Who do you think?
23:36If you thought you knew him, who is it?
23:39You need to spill it.
23:41You don't have to tell us who you think he is
23:42that did the shooting, because the deal is,
23:44you got shot, and then you end up
23:46leaving in that truck that did the shooting.
24:01Did you call anybody coming to help you out there?
24:03No, I tried to, though.
24:04Do you know what?
24:10Do you understand how this thing looks?
24:12If this guy's over there and he's starting
24:14and he's threatening you, like that.
24:16I didn't call nobody or none of that.
24:18I understand how the hell this shit looks.
24:21Listen, you got to understand where I'm coming from.
24:23I'm scared as no lie.
24:25I'm scared as no lie.
24:27But at the end of the day, I'm right.
24:30I'm right, no matter what the fuck, nigga.
24:33I did no type of aggression, none of that.
24:37It's perfectly understandable for you to call up some friends
24:39and say, hey, man, I need some help over here.
24:42And the idea is they're going to come over here
24:44and he's going to see, okay, fuck, I'm out, right?
24:48One of them jumps out and does some crazy fuck.
24:50The person that shot is nobody that was in the truck
24:54that went with in the truck when I left.
24:57They may not have left in the truck,
24:58but they showed up in the truck.
24:59You called for some help.
25:01Some dude showed up and he was on some
25:03he jumped out and that was not what your intention was.
25:06And if that's the case, we need to know that right now,
25:09because if not, you're lumped in with him.
25:12You're responsible for this man's day.
25:20I mean, I don't know if you're a suspect
25:29or not at this point.
25:30I'm not at all.
25:31Not even a little bit.
25:33Okay.
25:33All right?
25:40Q blood.
25:49What did Q do?
25:50Just spill the beans.
25:53What did he do?
25:54He start fighting.
25:55Who did he start fighting with?
25:57Who?
25:58I grabbed a baby mama to get out of the way.
26:01I said, hey, man, move.
26:02Fire.
26:03And what?
26:04The fire, I got shot.
26:05Who shot?
26:07Who shot?
26:12So why would Q shoot Cooper and you?
26:17Bro, I don't think I got shot on purpose.
26:21Coop said when anybody pull up, he's beating everybody up.
26:24Homies, friends, everybody.
26:27He'll shot him.
26:28Did you see Q with a gun?
26:31Yes or no?
26:32Come on.
26:33Just be honest.
26:34Huh?
26:34Yeah.
26:37Bro, it was weird.
26:39He pulled it out, racked it, I think.
26:44Put it back in.
26:45And then that's when Coop took off on him.
26:47Coop hit him.
26:48When he hit him, a gun went off.
26:50Boom!
26:52Did you see him shoot Coop?
26:54Yes or no?
26:55In my life, I did not.
26:56Listen, on my son, I did not see no shoot.
27:00But I know for a fact Coop did not have a gun.
27:07Q, you need to give us his name.
27:09Hello, what?
27:09No, on the, listen.
27:11On my son, on my life, my last heartbeat, I don't know.
27:13Not one name.
27:15Promise you.
27:15I'm about to give you some reality right here.
27:19You ask if you could go home with your son later,
27:21you might be going to jail for felony murder.
27:23No, listen to you real quick.
27:25No, listen, listen, listen.
27:27You want to go to jail for felony murder,
27:29you want to be honest about everything.
27:30Because look, you, Q.
27:34So you have a problem that's looking at your phone?
27:36No, no, no, no.
27:37You can see the time at this phone.
27:40Go get my phone.
27:43What is Q's real name?
27:45It's been, you know, it's been like pulling teeth with you
27:49to get anywhere.
27:50I didn't see him shoot, but I know for a fact
27:52that Quinn did, you know, quick, quick, quick, quick,
27:58I know him.
28:02I know him.
28:03What is it?
28:06You said it, you let it slip.
28:09I know him, Quinn.
28:14Quinn, excuse me.
28:16Gatwood sends the shooter's name to the team.
28:19What's his number?
28:20I ain't gonna lie.
28:22Matter of fact, I have his number.
28:26First name, Quentin.
28:28Oh, Quentin.
28:29Oh, perfect.
28:30Crime analyst, Margot Hain-Bell,
28:33looks up the name and phone number in the database.
28:37Change, change.
28:37Gotcha.
28:39We're looking at a photo that goes with a phone number.
28:42It goes with a first name, starts with a Q.
28:44Quentin Colmwell.
28:59Pull that up, bigger picture.
29:00I'm gonna take a picture and verify.
29:08He's born in 2002, that makes him pretty young.
29:12Quentin Caldwell grew up in Tulsa.
29:15He's 20 years old and has two daughters.
29:18He has no prior convictions.
29:20Quentin Caldwell.
29:29Who is this?
29:31It's Quinn.
29:33Okay.
29:36How can we find Quinn?
29:41He gives detectives the location.
29:46Okay.
29:47Hang tight.
29:47All right, we'll be back in a minute, all right?
29:54He was minimizing a lot of things.
29:56I think he called his friends,
29:58and then it went bad from there once they showed up.
30:04We do have a suspect in this thing.
30:06His name's Quinn.
30:09I'll talk to the district attorney tomorrow.
30:11It's almost two o'clock in the morning.
30:14Detective McNeil, we're gonna run out
30:15to the victim's mother's house.
30:18We like to meet with the families of the victims
30:20and do a face-to-face, let them know
30:23who's investigating their loved one's murder.
30:36The next day, as Gatwood works on the murder warrant
30:40for Quentin Caldwell...
30:42...she gave us access to her Ring account,
30:45and so I was able to pull a whole bunch of video.
30:49At 2.45 p.m., it shows a friend showing up
30:54to the residence with a child.
31:00At 3.08 p.m., it shows Farron and his friend.
31:04It shows them coming into the house carrying some kids.
31:17And then you start to hear her and Farron
31:20kind of arguing with each other.
31:32And then it sounds like it's Farron and my other friend
31:36are talking back and forth.
31:37But I am the one that got the bodies of her.
31:40Ain't nobody in here got no bodies in here but me.
31:42They're talking about who has bodies
31:45and all this other stuff.
31:504.27 p.m., him and Farron are kind of talking
31:56out in front of the car.
31:57They're not yelling.
31:58It seems like they're just talking.
32:00So the last recording is at 4.35 p.m.
32:05The shooting happens an hour after the Ring stopped recording.
32:11The Ring Bell video really didn't help out on the arrest warrant,
32:16but it did corroborate some of the statements
32:18that were taken from the witnesses.
32:20Farron just got out of jail, went over to the house,
32:23and she had a friend there.
32:26And at some point, Farron got into it with the friend.
32:32I believe there was some jealousy that was involved,
32:34but it may have been over also the gun that came up missing.
32:38After the Ring video, the friend ended up calling his friends
32:42to come over to the house.
32:43And when they got there, Farron ended up
32:46getting killed in front of his kids.
32:48And she's sitting there carrying his newborn baby-to-be.
32:51So it's terrible.
32:53It's something that shouldn't have happened, that's for sure.
33:05The next morning.
33:06I just walked a warrant through today for murder.
33:09So right now, Quentin Caldwell is wanted for first-degree murder.
33:14Our warrant squad will be setting up on a location
33:17that he possibly may be at.
33:23We are going to a house
33:25where we believe a homicide suspect, Quentin Caldwell.
33:30According to sources, he was dropped off last night.
33:40I do see movement over close to the front door on our house.
33:45But as the clock ticks away...
33:48I don't think it turns so close to the front door.
33:50He's not even close to six to the front.
33:52...they come up empty.
33:56Dang it.
34:07In the first 48, Tulsa Homicide responded to the scene
34:12where 23-year-old Farron Cooper was found shot.
34:15Learned that a man staying with the mother of Farron's children
34:18was shot and wounded after the two men had an argument.
34:21Heard from a confidential informant
34:23that the shooter was a man named Q-Blood,
34:26also known as Quentin Caldwell,
34:28and issued a warrant for Quentin's arrest,
34:31but had been unable to find him.
34:40Over the next several months...
34:42A lady called me and said she thinks she saw him.
34:45Homicide and the Warrants Squad
34:47continue to search for Quentin.
34:53It's him.
34:55...and turn to the public for help.
34:57Tulsa police are still looking for the man
34:59they say shot and killed another man.
35:01If you have any idea where Caldwell could be,
35:05you can just call Crimestoppers.
35:1118 months after Farron's death...
35:14When you went out there today,
35:16did you actually see, visually see Quentin?
35:19I saw.
35:20Yes, he looked just like Quentin.
35:23Farron's mother calls detectives.
35:25I seen him go into the building.
35:28The victim's mother saw the suspect.
35:32Right now, our Warrant Squad's setting up on an apartment
35:35where he may have went into.
35:49You've got the North Hallway,
35:50do you have it, correct?
35:51Yes, correct.
35:54Hey, that's him in the living room, guys.
35:58Send Quentin out.
36:22Send Quentin out.
36:25Come on, keep on.
36:26Hang on, buddy, boss.
36:29Come on, yeah!
36:32Come on, have a seat, bro.
36:42Gatwood has a jury trial in the morning
36:43where he's gonna be testifying all day,
36:45so I'm gonna go ahead and interview Quentin
36:47and see if he's willing to tell us why all this happened.
36:52All right, Quentin, it's cool if I'll call you Quentin.
36:54All right. All right, man.
36:56Call me Vernon.
36:56I'm a detective here with the Tulsa Police Department homicide unit.
37:00So, Quentin, the reason you're here has to do with the murder of a guy named Farenkoop.
37:06I want you the opportunity to tell your side of the story.
37:11I'm scared.
37:12This is, brother, this is a scary, this is a scary situation, man.
37:18OK.
37:19When Farenkoop was killed, were you there?
37:25Then who did?
37:27Because this is right now.
37:29OK.
37:31Mm-hmm.
37:33Everybody got out.
37:35And I'm standing on the side of the truck, not doing nothing at all.
37:41F***ing tripping.
37:43He gets this wild little dude.
37:45He snatched a gun, cock it back, put it to his head.
37:48He says the man who had been staying at the house threatened Faren with a gun.
37:52Tell him something, something, I'll kill you.
37:55He said he snatched a gun.
37:56Who did he snatch it from?
37:57He snatched it from me.
37:58OK.
38:00And then once I finally got it back from him, I'm trying to leave.
38:04Trying to get back in the truck, go sit down.
38:06Mm-hmm.
38:07I got hit over my head.
38:10He started tussling.
38:12Who are you tussling with?
38:13With Faren?
38:14Yeah.
38:15OK.
38:16He grabbed the gun.
38:19He had basically full possession.
38:22And then we just got to tussling and we both fell and I guess the gun went off.
38:26And they hit him like right here.
38:28Mm-hmm.
38:29I got up and I ran.
38:33I got scared and I ran.
38:35He was standing and looking at me.
38:38OK.
38:39How many times did the gun go off?
38:40Just once.
38:41Just once.
38:44I believe that there was a little fight.
38:47Little, you know, scuffle.
38:49But the independent witness said you shot twice.
38:52Once in the leg.
38:54And then when Faren was on the ground, you shot him again.
38:58No, no.
39:00This gentleman said it was like an execution.
39:02This guy does not know you.
39:05I'm not no killer.
39:07I'm not that kind of person.
39:12It was self-defense.
39:13He grabbed him.
39:15He came after me.
39:17He came after me.
39:22No, dude, look at me.
39:23Do I think you're some monster?
39:25No, dude.
39:25I think you made a terrible decision.
39:27Didn't want that.
39:28I'm not saying you did.
39:30But man, what it boils down to is nobody, nobody there said you acted in self-defense.
39:46No, you'll be able to see your daughter.
39:51How many kids you have?
39:52Two daughters.
39:55You will have opportunities to still hold your babies and see your babies grow up.
40:03And they'll know that they still have their dad.
40:11Faren's babies, they're never gonna hug their dad again.
40:15He's not gonna get them, watch them grow up.
40:20All right.
40:22Hang out here, man.
40:23They'll come and get you in a minute, all right?
40:38He's kind of trying to claim it was self-defense.
40:40And nobody out there said it was in self-defense.
40:43It's sad. I mean, when you bring a gun into the disturbance, it can go south.
40:48He didn't show a little bit of emotion, but it's sad that that's, that he put himself in this situation.
41:11And so it took a lot longer than what we wanted to, but it's nice to have that person off
41:16the streets.
41:25It's been over a year.
41:27It's his birthday.
41:30He was here.
41:31He's been like, Mom, give me the bounce house for my birthday, just so he could do this with the
41:36kids.
41:38He just loved his kids.
41:40Happy Wednesday, Daddy.
41:44Mama, yeah.
41:45But I hate that the youngest one, he doesn't get the opportunity to even know him, see him.
41:51I was on the phone when it happened.
41:55With the baby's mother who was there.
42:00Quentin had a brother who, um, he came and saw me after it happened.
42:04He talked for about two hours.
42:06He told me about the kind of person that Quentin is.
42:09And it hurt because I knew that if Quentin had met Farron under different circumstances,
42:15that they would have actually been friends.
42:24Farron was a good son. He loved me, and we went through a lot together.
42:28So we had the friendship that I had with my son.
42:33You know, it can't be replaced. I never get it back.
42:47I never get into it.
42:48The other reason is that you don't get people who had twins.
42:48You don't have to be a place, and you don't have to meet.
