00:04:04he's gone

00:04:14for homicide detectives their chance of solving a murder is cut in half if they don't get a lead

00:04:21within the first 48 hours

00:04:42so about approximately an hour ago we had an armed robbery in which the victims were shot at

00:04:48following the robbery and then while working that armed robbery they observe a bullet hole to an

00:04:54unrelated trailer make contact and they discover the deceased in the back bedroom

00:05:01it happened here in front of 12. so here you can see is where we have the entry of the

00:05:11bullet

00:05:12and then on the other side of this wall is our decedent

00:05:17and his name is herberto martinez martinez

00:05:2437 year old eriberto martinez martinez came to the u.s 20 years ago from oaxaca mexico in search of

00:05:31better job opportunities he worked construction and

00:05:35was packed to move to a new job site in north carolina in the morning

00:05:38he leaves behind a large family including his brother and brother's family in north charleston

00:05:45and his parents and three other siblings back home in mexico

00:05:51the bullet struck him in his facial area while he was sleeping

00:05:56the shot killed eriberto instantly where you see the crowd of people is the general area in which

00:06:01the armed robbery victims were when the shooting took place they were at the back

00:06:06corner of their trailer when approximately four what they described as black males approached them

00:06:12demanded their items and as they were fleeing the suspect shot there were several shell casings out

00:06:19here that was collected by patrol the four casings were covered are all night millimeter

00:06:28where the armed robbery happened a trailer has video cameras bravo is helping download the video

00:06:36we need to do interviews with the victims once the video is downloaded i'm gonna have him take my

00:06:41victims to city hall and bravo is gonna sit down with each one and we're gonna have one translation of

00:06:47what

00:06:47happen bush and malone are there and i let them know you're coming with three thank you bravo

00:07:03stray bullets are always rough hoping they got a good description in clothing or there's something

00:07:08distinct on one of the individuals that committed the robbery that we can identify and hopefully with

00:07:14that we'll be able to develop a suspect

00:07:25so run me through what happened

00:07:33so said they were hanging out drinking beers there were four that came somewhere from like behind the trailer

00:07:40so they're asking like where that where's the water which means marijuana yeah

00:07:52can you describe like what they were wearing what they look like

00:07:58he says the man who pointed the gun at him wore a black mask and two others also wore masks

00:08:05two black black mask one had white and then one didn't have one at all he said the one that

00:08:11came

00:08:11off to him with the gun he was only able to see kind of like eyes and he had like

00:08:15the mask with the

00:08:17one of the eyes while he was wearing a black mask and he was walking with the gun at all

00:08:24now

00:08:39so

00:08:50He says the suspect stole his keys, phone, and wallet, and then moved on to his friend.

00:08:57So the guy with the black mask, after he took his phone and everything, the black mask,

00:09:02went to start searching the other victim, victim number two.

00:09:05So, but was it the same one that was kind of doing all the robbing?

00:09:22Were they, like, trying to aim at you, or were they, like, aiming at the house?

00:09:28Now, did you see which direction they ran to after they fired?

00:09:36He says he and his friends ran after the men, but lost them behind some apartments.

00:09:41So, when they turned and leapt onto Facet, that's when you lost sight of them?

00:09:47Yes, yes.

00:09:49Okay. All right.

00:09:52Okay.

00:09:53One moment.

00:10:01Hello, I'm Detective Bush.

00:10:04Detectives speak with the two other robbery victims.

00:10:06Can you describe them?

00:10:23Any good descriptions on any of the suspects?

00:10:26No.

00:10:30This is going to be a really tough case.

00:10:32Hopefully, we'll get some good video.

00:10:34It'd be great to get a car coming or going in the area.

00:10:42All right, watch this.

00:10:43Detective Anthony Russ pulls up the surveillance video gathered from the trailer park.

00:10:48So, you're going to see the suspects walking up Stahl Road on crosses.

00:10:53The four of them now are linked up.

00:10:55So, then we cut to this video,

00:11:02where they're now walking into the mobile home park.

00:11:13Approach the victims from the rear of the trailers.

00:11:18You don't really get to see a whole lot.

00:11:20It's dark and from a distance.

00:11:23You can see they're robbing them.

00:11:25That gun.

00:11:30And they run beside this mobile home that actually has the cameras.

00:11:36And this is the good one.

00:11:40They're running and then shooting back.

00:11:54You're going to be going 39 miles per hour on 35.

00:11:58You just remember spinning that?

00:12:02Look at me.

00:12:03I'm going to make your bond so high,

00:12:05your head will spontaneously combust.

00:12:09you're not listening so this is great you're as great as the trooper is

00:12:13court cam new episodes watch now part of crime and investigation only on a and e

00:12:20i found something in my son's closet wrapping a plastic bag i think it's a human head

00:12:28start fire start fire good girl i was right there and he stared at me

00:12:33he has a gunshot wound to the neck gunshot wound to the neck go go go go go extreme caution

00:12:38don't let

00:12:39him out of your sight if you're in here make yourself known where's he at crime in progress

00:12:46new episodes watch now part of crime and investigation only on a and e

00:13:01unfortunately for us the video surveillance is at night

00:13:04and they are wearing masks three of them so that makes it challenging

00:13:13but anything distinctive helps us you can see a camo jacket and some nikes and you can form a suspect

00:13:22from that it ends with this where they're running away in the same direction that they came from

00:13:33they fled through this area and then back out this way likely to this road here

00:13:41we have some areas of interest we can look for video surveillance might help us id them a little

00:13:46better there's some apartments here that look good so we have some things to do but at least we have

00:13:54a

00:13:54starting point video is going to be the key in this case i think because we don't have any suspects

00:14:00at

00:14:00this time we will probably secure for the night here shortly i'm just like prepping this for the next

00:14:06shift and making sure like the list of cameras is there so when they do their brief they can divvy

00:14:13up

00:14:13and hit the ground running in the morning this is a completely innocent victim he was literally sleeping

00:14:20in his bed after a long day's work i mean it's horrible um and it also sucks because right now

00:14:25we

00:14:26don't have any answers but our goal is to bring justice to the victim and for his family

00:14:41let's wake it up it's friday

00:14:4510 hours in all right everybody's here ready we are so ready we're ready the case is assigned to

00:14:52corporal rob van tyne a 20-year veteran with the north charleston police department all right so

00:14:58this happened last night um i know the patrol responded at 21 50 hours there's uh three victims

00:15:03that were robbed they said that four males robbed them and then they fire shots backwards as they're

00:15:10running off victim was sleeping in his trailer and got hit by gunfire they run towards this pond and

00:15:16that's where you lose them from the camera i imagine if you're going to take a car you've got to

00:15:21go out

00:15:21facet road on up you got to go left on stall or right on stall we need to see if

00:15:25there's any video

00:15:25that we can obtain they actually have good video on the second building in that apartment complex also

00:15:33sergeant bailey was saying um somebody ran they bound right broken fence

00:15:40so it could have been him jumping the fence into the apartment

00:15:42complex i agree i think the main thing right now is just getting as much footage from the surrounding

00:15:49area as possible and see what we got whether it's vehicle leaving or they're staying on foot and

00:15:54running if i can do that apartment complex y'all said they have cameras there yeah get all the cameras

00:15:59there from the external if we can we got you man time so i came in this morning and noticed

00:16:06the night

00:16:07shift call team responded to this or it gets passed on to the next person rotation i like being on

00:16:13scene

00:16:13being the one who responds to it unfortunately this one i'm not so i have to review the notes that

00:16:18they

00:16:18did and then go from there i just wish we had more information to go off of right now there's

00:16:22nothing to

00:16:22connect the victims to the suspects if we don't have a car we don't have anything yet so it's really

00:16:27a whodunit so we'll see if the cameras and the footage we can develop some more leads

00:16:40back here in this corner is where they put a pallet over fence and you can see footprints

00:16:45where they've been climbing over fence

00:16:56there's no video the security cameras at the apartment complex aren't working

00:17:04but the team will canvas each apartment for doorbell cameras so gives them a lot of problems

00:17:13and they're just according to someone in the building there have been complaints about two

00:17:17young men on the second floor one of the males was sitting on this kia yesterday stolen out of city

00:17:24the ignitions popped you think they could be our bad guys dogs tracked back here making some possibility

00:17:32i had a still shot of the uh suspects from our surveillance camera for the shooting

00:17:39yeah he picked out two from the four individuals detective david pritchard showed the video image

00:17:46to the tipster he said that he thinks the two in the middle are the two sons that live at

00:17:50this apartment

00:17:52maybe our guys we're gonna do a knock and talk reference to that stolen car see if it has anything

00:18:00to

00:18:00do with our homicide

00:18:11what did we do

00:18:17detectives bring out a woman and her two teenage sons

00:18:24came up here and knocked on the door

00:18:27they opened a door to wreak the marijuana so we pulled everybody's for investigative detention

00:18:32now we're gonna get a search warrant type for the residents for anything related

00:18:37what are we doing

00:18:42hey listen to what they see and calm down i'm their mom

00:18:46maybe these kids were involved in the incident

00:18:59i wonder if there's a way we can downplay it and say

00:19:03some items were stolen let's get those items back maybe they'd be more forthcoming

00:19:10how you doing man could be better vantine starts with the older brother

00:19:15is that your apartment over there off the facet your sisters how long have you been there um

00:19:23we just recently moved there so they came they smelled marijuana whatever is there anything else

00:19:31or

00:19:31anything like that like is there like a gun or something where they're fine

00:19:37weed any other substances or anything i got you okay now basically um be honest with me did you take

00:19:44any items from some people in trouble that we can that we could somehow get back to them

00:19:57i found something in my son's closet wrapping a plastic bag i think it's a human head

00:20:04start fire start fire good girl i was right there and he stared at me

00:20:09he has a gunshot one to the neck gunshot one to the neck go go go go go extreme caution

00:20:14don't let him out of your sight if you're in here make yourself known where's he at crime in

00:20:22progress new episodes watch now part of crime and investigation only on a and e

00:20:34oh i think dying did someone else take some items that you were with

00:20:46because you know what happens is when we go through we pull the surveillance video everywhere

00:20:51right the trail park and all that so there's cameras on facet there's cameras further down

00:20:56so i just don't want you caught in a lie with that okay so i'm asking you to honestly be

00:21:03honest if you

00:21:03were at that trailer park you were at home the whole time yeah and if it shows that you weren't

00:21:15in the

00:21:15house and you actually left what then okay

00:21:30hey how's y'all man vantine turns to the younger brother and i'm gonna be honest with you some

00:21:35items were taken from um some people on a trailer park further down the road did you go over to

00:21:42that

00:21:43trailer park so you stayed there the entire time as a man that's your word okay i'll be right back

00:22:05so i can't say 100 that they're involved i just know that

00:22:09right now you have the path leading to their apartment you have a man that's saying from the

00:22:16still images that two of them look like kids that belong to that apartment and the fact that

00:22:22i feel just from interviewing that they're lying about last night kind of leads me to believe

00:22:27they're involved but we'll see search warrant's going to be completed maybe there's a weapon in

00:22:32there you never know cam is still talking to the um the mother maybe we'll get more information

00:22:36from um her so let me be honest with you so there was an incident that happened uh across the

00:22:46street

00:22:53individuals that shot at a trailer and um we arrived on cm found a male deceased who was sleeping

00:23:07and one of your sons were in the kia just sitting there and there have been a number of kias

00:23:13stolen

00:23:13from the area do you know any reason why either one of your sons would be inside that kia they

00:25:25involved in this murder i do not know um but we'll find out once we get the search warrant we

00:25:29get more

00:25:30information from pulling the video cameras at least we've locked them into statements that's the

00:25:34important thing we've locked them into statements so we can either validate those statements or we can

00:25:38disprove them at this point so we'll see what happens

00:25:45then hold on a second detective pritchard calls in from the apartment complex

00:25:50video from before the shooting that shows those kids leaving this apartment about what time

00:27:11Are you just looking at this thing, man?

00:27:15Look at me.

00:27:16I'm going to make your bond so high,

00:27:27Court Cam, new episodes.

00:27:29Watch now on a crime and investigation only on A&E.

00:27:41100% that's them.

00:27:43The shoes, the camo jacket.

00:27:50Where are they coming from?

00:27:52You can't see no one on the stage.

00:27:57Does it have them coming back?

00:27:58Do we have a video of them coming back after you?

00:28:01I haven't seen more.

00:28:02Put this on the big screen of the computer,

00:28:05just so we can kind of get a better look at them.

00:28:11Here they are coming down.

00:28:13Six to ten minutes before the murder.

00:28:15The doorbell video is from an apartment below the brothers.

00:28:19We don't have them coming out of the actual apartment.

00:28:22We have them coming down the stairs.

00:28:25In the shoes, sir.

00:28:26That's all I do.

00:28:29Those are the green nightcap.

00:28:35Let's print out the image of this.

00:28:39I'll go and talk to the mom,

00:28:40and then we'll try to get her to identify them.

00:28:44You ready?

00:28:47Hey, how's it going?

00:28:48I'm the detective Banton.

00:28:53Who's who?

00:29:09All right, I'll show you something real quick.

00:29:11This is the video.

00:29:13Detective Cam Miller shows her the surveillance video

00:29:15from the crime scene.

00:29:18Oh, I don't know.

00:29:20Listen to me for a second.

00:29:21And I get it.

00:29:22You're their mom.

00:29:22You're supposed to protect them.

00:29:23No, and I wouldn't lie for them either,

00:29:26because right is right and wrong is wrong.

00:29:28And I'm going to be honest.

00:29:30I don't know who this is.

00:29:32I don't know.

00:29:34I do not know.

00:29:35I'm telling you.

00:29:37These green and white shoes,

00:29:39I never saw before.

00:29:40Okay.

00:29:54She's denying,

00:29:55basically knowing anybody.

00:29:56I would bet money they're involved,

00:29:58but we'll see.

00:29:59You have to get more.

00:30:03Then.

00:30:04Perfect.

00:30:05The team searching the brother's apartment

00:30:07reaches out.

00:30:09So they found 9mm handguns in there,

00:30:12and there are 9mm blazers.

00:30:14They recovered 2 stolen guns

00:30:16and ammunition

00:30:17that's the same brand

00:30:18as the casings

00:30:19found at the crime scene.

00:30:21I think we're on the right track here.

00:30:23That's good news.

00:30:24That would tie that apartment

00:30:26definitively.

00:30:27We'll test fire them here,

00:30:29and one of those weapons

00:30:30will hopefully match.

00:30:32So I'll confront them on it.

00:30:38Hey, how's it going, man?

00:30:43So a couple 9mm were found

00:30:45in your house.

00:30:48I've got the cameras.

00:30:49I've got video of you leaving.

00:30:53I want to know,

00:30:55yesterday night,

00:30:55who was with you

00:30:56when you went over to the trailers?

00:31:02Where'd the guns come from

00:31:03that were inside your apartment?

00:31:08Hmm?

00:31:12Your cousins?

00:31:14Was your cousin with you last night?

00:31:17No, he was with me yesterday.

00:31:19But not last night?

00:31:23So he wasn't involved?

00:31:26So all I've got right now

00:31:27is you and your brother.

00:31:28That's a problem for you and your brother.

00:31:31I need you to come clean with me

00:31:33if there's a third person.

00:31:36Or if you're the one

00:31:37who f***ed up,

00:31:38then say you f***ed up.

00:31:40And don't drag the other two down.

00:31:45Which one's you?

00:32:09He says he recognizes

00:32:11the men in the video

00:32:12from another apartment.

00:32:40The original ring camera footage

00:32:41that was sent to me,

00:32:42he's got even more.

00:32:44The owner of the doorbell camera

00:32:46sends additional video clips.

00:32:55He comes and picks up laundry

00:32:57at 10.04.

00:32:58Mm-hmm.

00:33:00The video confirms

00:33:01the younger brother was at home

00:33:03at the time of the murder.

00:33:08Hmm.

00:33:10Okay, so he's ruled out completely.

00:33:14They're going to test fire the gun.

00:33:15And right now, eyeballing it,

00:33:17they think it doesn't match.

00:33:18That's what we're getting at.

00:33:21The casings from the crime scene

00:33:22do not appear to have been fired

00:33:24from the recovered weapons.

00:33:29These aren't the guys.

00:33:32It's someone else that just happened

00:33:33to come from the apartments

00:33:34where they are.

00:33:42Which part was he saying?

00:33:45I think he said the one next door

00:33:47from the right to the left.

00:33:49That's a good one.

00:33:53Obviously, if you smell anything,

00:33:55let everybody get out

00:33:56and we're seeing everybody

00:33:57like we did the first time.

00:34:10That's just bad luck.

00:34:13It was looking like

00:34:14these were going to be our guys.

00:34:16Sometimes you get it wrong,

00:34:17but you just don't know

00:34:18until you question them

00:34:19and try to get to the truth

00:34:20of the matter.

00:34:20They did have stolen guns

00:34:22and a stolen vehicle

00:34:23in their possession,

00:34:24so they are involved

00:34:25with criminal activity,

00:34:26just not what we're

00:34:28investigating right now.

00:34:29We let them go.

00:34:30We can always charge them later

00:34:31if we want to.

00:34:32No rush on it right now.

00:34:34I mean, I'm frustrated

00:34:35that it didn't turn out,

00:34:37but the positive side is

00:34:38where that apartment is,

00:34:39the upstairs,

00:34:40these are our guys.

00:34:42So at least we have

00:34:43these three are 100%,

00:34:45so now it's just a matter

00:34:46of if we can identify them.

00:34:48And this one is the one

00:34:50that fired the shots on camera.

00:34:52So nice to figure out

00:34:53who he is.

00:34:54Did we identify all four

00:34:56of these subjects?

00:34:57They all four will be

00:34:57charged with murder.

00:35:00Hand of one, hand of all.

00:35:13Large hospital,

00:35:14please, I'm in the door.

00:35:23Nobody's coming to the door.

00:35:25Problem has been long enough

00:35:26to hit it.

00:35:29I have a male wearing

00:35:30a camouflage hoodie.

00:35:32Who's in and out

00:35:32that apartment?

00:35:33Miller recovers

00:35:34more doorbell video

00:35:35from an apartment

00:35:36across from the potential

00:35:38suspects.

00:35:39Oh, hold on.

00:35:40That might be our guy.

00:35:43He's one of the suspects

00:35:44had a camo jacket on.

00:35:45He's got a camo jacket.

00:35:48He wears it all the time.

00:35:55I think we have enough video

00:35:56to maybe do a facial rec.

00:35:58We're on the right track.

00:35:59We got some stuff

00:36:00to go off of.

00:36:01We just kind of follow up on it.

00:36:10Later that night.

00:36:11So I have these pictures

00:36:13that we got from this ring camera

00:36:15that's across the hall.

00:36:16So what I'm going to do

00:36:17is I'm going to take that picture

00:36:18and put it into Verkata

00:36:19and see what pops up.

00:36:23Our Verkata cameras

00:36:24are a city asset camera

00:36:25that we pay for to install.

00:36:27Two years ago,

00:36:29the city of North Charleston

00:36:30added over 700 surveillance cameras

00:36:32across the city

00:36:33to help reduce crime

00:36:34and improve police response time.

00:36:36They record things

00:36:37at major intersections.

00:36:38We can see everything

00:36:39from shootings to robberies

00:36:41to collisions

00:36:42to petty larcenies.

00:36:44We're extremely used

00:36:45for one of the best tools we have.

00:36:46The facial recognition software

00:36:48for Verkata,

00:36:48it's a very new feature

00:36:49they just added.

00:36:51It'll show up

00:36:51a bunch of different pictures

00:36:52of who could possibly look like

00:36:54who I'm looking for.

00:36:56Okay, so I just put these

00:36:58into Verkata.

00:36:59What do you think, Malone?

00:37:00Come take a look at this real quick.

00:37:03This guy pops up right here

00:37:05with that exact same camo jacket.

00:37:09This was earlier that day,

00:37:11Thursday, April 25th.

00:37:14That's possibly one of the suspects

00:37:16right there.

00:37:26I found something

00:37:27in my son's closet

00:37:28wrapped in a plastic bag.

00:37:31I think it's a human head.

00:37:33Start fire!

00:37:34Start fire!

00:37:35Get down!

00:37:36I was right there

00:37:37and he stared at me.

00:37:39He has a gunshot

00:37:39under the neck.

00:37:40Gunshot under the neck.

00:37:41Go, go, go, go, go, go.

00:37:42Extreme caution.

00:37:44Don't let him out of your sight.

00:37:46Hands up!

00:37:47If you're in here,

00:37:48make yourself known.

00:37:50Where's he at?

00:37:50Crime in Progress.

00:37:52New episodes.

00:37:53Watch now.

00:37:53Part of Crime and Investigation.

00:37:54Only on A&E.

00:38:04That looks like the guy

00:38:05from the ring camera video

00:38:07of his camo jacket right here.

00:38:10So we're seeing a potential suspect

00:38:12wearing similar clothes

00:38:13the same day as the shooting.

00:38:19He's walking alongside

00:38:20another male

00:38:21who's wearing similar clothes

00:38:23to what one of the other shooters

00:38:25is wearing.

00:38:26This dude looks like this dude

00:38:27right here.

00:38:29And then this guy right here

00:38:31with the long black shirt,

00:38:32the dark pants

00:38:33and the black shoes

00:38:34looks like this guy right here.

00:38:37I think that could be

00:38:38two of our guys right there.

00:38:42This varicata camera

00:38:43is located in our

00:38:45East Montague area.

00:38:46There is a school

00:38:47just down the street.

00:38:48Maybe somebody at the school

00:38:49would recognize those two.

00:38:51And then we're going to

00:38:51send these images

00:38:52up to SLED.

00:38:53That's our South Carolina

00:38:54law enforcement division.

00:38:56They have a lot of resources

00:38:57that we don't have.

00:38:58Hopefully,

00:38:59we can at least get the ID

00:39:00of two of the suspects

00:39:01out of the four.

00:39:10The next afternoon.

00:39:16This is apartment 13.

00:39:19And this is a guy

00:39:21that associates there.

00:39:26I heard back from Reeves.

00:39:27He talked to the school

00:39:28resource officer.

00:39:29We have identified him

00:39:30as Tristan Robertson.

00:39:33He's the one

00:39:33in the camel jacket.

00:39:37In his DMV photo,

00:39:39he's also wearing

00:39:39a camel jacket.

00:39:4319-year-old Tristan Robertson,

00:39:45a former student

00:39:46at North Charleston High School,

00:39:47has no prior convictions.

00:39:50Now, look who he's walking with.

00:39:51The body build of this guy.

00:39:54Doesn't that not look

00:39:54very similar to this person?

00:39:57The South Carolina

00:39:58law enforcement division

00:39:59ran the photo

00:40:00in their database

00:40:01and got a hit.

00:40:04The facial rag

00:40:05identified him

00:40:06as Kobe Bryant.

00:40:08He was convicted

00:40:09of strong-arm robbery.

00:40:10He also got convicted

00:40:12for failure to stop

00:40:12for blue lights,

00:40:13so he's known to run.

00:40:15After serving

00:40:1510 months in jail

00:40:16for larceny

00:40:17and receiving stolen goods,

00:40:1922-year-old Kobe Bryant

00:40:21was released

00:40:22six months ago.

00:40:25I think this is Tristan.

00:40:27I don't know who this is.

00:40:28I think this is Kobe.

00:40:30So we're going to do

00:40:31like a workup on them,

00:40:33see if they're on probation,

00:40:35what their phone number is,

00:40:37all that.

00:40:38I hope we can get

00:40:39these guys in custody

00:40:40because once we catch

00:40:41at least one of them,

00:40:42they'll hopefully snitch

00:40:43on the others.

00:40:50As the clock winds down...

00:40:52I'm Detective Vantine.

00:40:53I'm assigned to the case

00:40:54for both the robbery

00:40:55and the homicide.

00:40:57Vantine meets

00:40:58with Heriberto's family

00:40:59and the three robbery victims.

00:41:01When we came in on Thursday,

00:41:03we had no idea

00:41:04who did this.

00:41:05Friday,

00:41:06we ended up pulling video

00:41:07from the area

00:41:08and got a description

00:41:09of possible suspects.

00:41:11Now, today,

00:41:12we've got possible names

00:41:14and we're trying

00:41:14to piece that together.

00:41:16So we're actually

00:41:17a lot closer than we were.

00:41:20Sometimes these investigations

00:41:21take time.

00:41:22Let them know

00:41:23the second we make an arrest,

00:41:24the second we make an arrest,

00:41:25they are the first people

00:41:27we will call

00:41:27and let them know.

00:41:29Please, we would

00:41:30really appreciate that.

00:41:31Oh, definitely.

00:41:32We're working hard.

00:41:32Trust me.

00:41:33We are doing our best we can.

00:41:34So, if this is important,

00:41:36Detective,

00:41:36that they understand.

00:41:38Yeah.

00:41:38This takes time.

00:41:41Yeah.

00:41:42Ellos están trabajando

00:41:44on-gone, okay?

00:41:45Pero, pero yo sé,

00:41:47aquí tiene la mejor policía

00:41:49de toda esta área.

00:41:50The best police department

00:41:52there is,

00:41:52no Charleston, period.

00:41:54They're the best.

00:41:55You don't worry about that.

00:41:56Solo let them work, right?

00:41:58And work with the situation,

00:42:00but they need time.

00:42:01It's gonna be okay.

00:42:02Okay.

00:42:18In the first 48,

00:42:20North Charleston detectives

00:42:22responded to the murder

00:42:23of Heriberto Martinez Martinez,

00:42:25killed in his sleep

00:42:26by a stray bullet

00:42:27during a robbery,

00:42:28spoke to the robbery victims

00:42:30who said four men

00:42:31fled the scene,

00:42:32firing as they ran,

00:42:34discovered video surveillance

00:42:35that tracked three of the men

00:42:36to an apartment complex

00:42:38near the crime scene,

00:42:39identified two of the possible suspects

00:42:41as Tristan Robertson

00:42:42and Kobe Bryant,

00:42:44but all four suspects

00:42:45are still at large.

00:42:56Two days later...

00:42:58One of our guys

00:42:59that I think we've identified

00:43:00in the photo,

00:43:02Kobe Bryant,

00:43:03is gonna meet with his P.O.

00:43:05Detectives,

00:43:05head out to meet

00:43:06with Kobe's parole officers,

00:43:08hoping to question Kobe.

00:43:10We just wanna talk to him,

00:43:11see about if he will identify himself,

00:43:13and also see if his P.O.

00:43:14will identify him

00:43:15from that photo

00:43:16that we have.

00:43:20Is that her?

00:43:25Hey, how you doing?

00:43:26Thank you so much

00:43:27for meeting with us.

00:43:28I'm Detective Vanton.

00:43:29Nice to meet you.

00:43:30Same here.

00:43:31Will you show you a photo?

00:43:33Yep, that looks like him.

00:43:36That definitely,

00:43:37I can tell it's Kobe.

00:43:38That's Kobe?

00:43:38Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:43:41Is he pretty cooperative?

00:43:42Would he talk with us?

00:43:43I think so,

00:43:44because believe it or not,

00:43:44he doesn't want to go back to jail.

00:43:46Helps us,

00:43:47like we'll try our best

00:43:48to help him.

00:43:50Just text him.

00:43:50You said 10 minutes.

00:43:51Okay.

00:43:53Thank you, guys.

00:43:54Yeah.

00:43:56Well, that's a good sign.

00:43:57She's pretty much

00:43:58thinking that's him.

00:43:59And it's just a matter

00:44:00of getting him

00:44:01to just say,

00:44:02that's me.

00:44:03And once he admits that,

00:44:05we have him.

00:44:06And all we have to do

00:44:08is at that point

00:44:09is see if he'll give up

00:44:11the other names.

00:44:20He's pulling around.

00:44:21He's in a baby.

00:44:22There she be.

00:44:23Yeah, I see him.

00:44:24I see him.

00:44:25Can you see him?

00:44:25Yes, ma'am.

00:44:26All right, thank you.

00:44:30I'm going to go hot.

00:44:31Come on.

00:44:36Kobe spots the detectives

00:44:39and takes off.

00:45:04Can I have an EMS

00:45:06to the Lonnie Hamilton building?

00:45:08Myself and the suspect.

00:45:09We fell after a brief

00:45:10foot chase.

00:45:16He just took off running.

00:45:18I caught him

00:45:19on the other side

00:45:19of the parking lot.

00:45:23We just wanted to talk to him,

00:45:24so it makes it look

00:45:25a little weird

00:45:26that he just takes off running

00:45:27as soon as we get out of the car.

00:45:34Kobe Bryant's parole officer

00:45:36approaches Miller.

00:45:48Inside the car

00:45:49is the other person

00:45:51of interest,

00:45:52Tristan Robertson.

00:45:53That's on.

00:45:54Tristan in the backseat.

00:45:56Hey, go to that backseat

00:45:57and retain that.

00:46:06Tristan in the backseat.

00:46:09We're going to go sit at the hospital.

00:46:13We'll take him

00:46:15to the detective day right now.

00:46:16While Kobe is taken

00:46:17to the hospital

00:46:17for evaluation,

00:46:19Tristan is detained

00:46:20for questioning.

00:46:21We've got Tristan

00:46:22and Kobe.

00:46:23Tristan was in the backseat

00:46:25to work out.

00:46:26Hopefully, he'll talk

00:46:27to us, though,

00:46:27because they're not happy

00:46:28right now.

00:46:36That's Tristan Robertson.

00:46:38I'm going to go in

00:46:39and try to interview him,

00:46:39see if he'll admit

00:46:40that he's in the photos.

00:46:43What do y'all need?

00:46:44A few kind words,

00:46:45some support.

00:46:46You got this.

00:46:48You want a chest bump?

00:46:48You want me to punch you

00:46:49in the chest?

00:46:50Oh, okay.

00:46:51Come on,

00:46:52going in to hurt him.

00:46:56Hey, man,

00:46:56you need any water or anything?

00:46:57You sure?

00:47:00Hurry, go home.

00:47:02Okay, I'll try to get you home

00:47:03as quick as I can.

00:47:04Obviously,

00:47:05you saw what happened

00:47:05out there, right?

00:47:06Running and all that.

00:47:10I know.

00:47:11That's awesome, dude.

00:47:12How old are you, man?

00:47:1319.

00:47:1419?

00:47:15What grade did you

00:47:29about some things.

00:47:31I want to show you

00:47:31some pictures.

00:47:46Vantine shows Tristan

00:47:48the photo from city cameras

00:47:50taken six hours

00:47:51before the homicide.

00:47:53I mean...

00:47:55Do you have a

00:47:56camouflage jacket like that?

00:47:57No.

00:47:58I used to when I was...

00:48:00That was back in 2021.

00:48:03That how mean?

00:48:04I don't know.

00:48:05That's not me.

00:48:08I was with my granny

00:48:09Thursday and Friday.

00:48:11Where's your granny house?

00:48:13West, ask me.

00:48:14There is this,

00:48:15because...

00:48:15So, there was an incident

00:48:16that happened

00:48:17on Thursday night.

00:48:19Where?

00:48:20Around Midland Park and Stahl.

00:48:23I think you were with

00:48:24some people

00:48:24that messed up...

00:48:26Yes, I'm asking you,

00:48:27trying to treat you

00:48:28as a witness here.

00:48:30They eat you here.

00:48:30That's not me, though.

00:48:32I'm telling you,

00:48:33that's not me.

00:48:34Where I was at,

00:48:34you can call my dad

00:48:35and my grandma.

00:48:36So you stayed

00:48:37in West Ashton

00:48:37the entire time on Friday?

00:48:39I got you.

00:48:41Vantine shows him

00:48:42another photo

00:48:42taken by a city camera

00:48:44the day after the shooting.

00:48:50So you're saying

00:48:50that ain't you?

00:48:51That looked like

00:48:52North Charleston.

00:48:53Yeah, it's North Charleston.

00:48:54But you're saying

00:48:55you and West Ashton

00:48:55on this date?

00:48:59I don't know.

00:49:00I don't know if I'm in North Charleston.

00:49:04You're saying, like,

00:49:05the pictures are completely wrong?

00:49:06Like, we could...

00:49:06I don't know.

00:49:07Like, how is there

00:49:08a picture of you

00:49:09in an area

00:49:10that you're claiming

00:49:11you're not?

00:49:11We have cameras

00:49:12all over the city.

00:49:13We have cameras

00:49:13all over Stahl Road.

00:49:15We have cameras

00:49:15all over Facet.

00:49:16You see what I'm saying?

00:49:17I don't know

00:49:21what you're talking about

00:49:22what happened on Stahl Road.

00:49:23I was not on Stahl Road.

00:49:25You can just get me a look.

00:49:27I don't know

00:49:27what it's going on.

00:49:29Okay.

00:49:32I'll be back.

00:49:33I told you

00:49:33where I was at, so...

00:49:34You sit tight.

00:49:38Here you go.

00:49:46He's just denying everything.

00:49:48He didn't know

00:49:48what to say

00:49:48after you showed him

00:49:49that left.

00:49:49No.

00:49:50He said,

00:49:51that's not me

00:49:51and then Lord...

00:49:53Like, he literally

00:49:54said he's in West Ashley.

00:49:56He never left West Ashley.

00:50:02A few minutes later...

00:50:04Hi, Diane.

00:50:04Kobe arrives

00:50:05at headquarters.

00:50:06How does that

00:50:07do we have to talk

00:50:07to you in just a second?

00:50:09We'll get Detective Butler

00:50:10to try to talk to him.

00:50:11Maybe it'd be better

00:50:11that someone

00:50:12who wasn't on scene

00:50:13when he ran

00:50:14and ran after him

00:50:15would be probably better.

00:50:16He's requested

00:50:17to speak to Sergeant Mike Brown

00:50:19who used to mentor him

00:50:20when he was a younger kid.

00:50:22The detective

00:50:23Kobe requested

00:50:24is currently working

00:50:25for the chief of police.

00:50:27So I'm going to get

00:50:27in contact with him

00:50:28to see if he'd be willing

00:50:29to come down

00:50:29and speak to Kobe.

00:50:31The murder's at 9.50 p.m.?

00:50:33Yeah.

00:50:34This is at 3.50

00:50:35on the day of the murder.

00:50:36You get him

00:50:37to identify himself,

00:50:37that's going to be Kobe

00:50:38and that's going to be Tristan.

00:50:41Just found this picture

00:50:42on Kobe's Facebook

00:50:44and those shoes

00:50:45are the green Nike.

00:50:49The Facebook photo

00:50:51of Kobe

00:50:51was posted four months ago.

00:50:54His shoes match.

00:50:55If you watch

00:50:56the actual video

00:50:56the shoes match

00:50:57from his picture

00:50:59there.

00:51:01All right.

00:51:01I'm going to talk to him.

00:51:05All right.

00:51:06I've been brought up

00:51:07to speed on

00:51:07what's going on here.

00:51:12Who is that?

00:51:13Butler shows him

00:51:14a photo from a city camera

00:51:15on the day of the shooting.

00:51:18I don't know who that is.

00:51:20No idea who that is?

00:51:22No.

00:51:25But you know

00:51:26what happened Thursday?

00:51:27No.

00:51:27I don't know

00:51:27what happened Thursday.

00:51:30Let me ask you a question.

00:51:31Do you have some

00:51:33white and teal

00:51:34or bluish

00:51:35like high-top Nike

00:51:36or whatever?

00:51:37Did you let...

00:51:38You know what I'm talking about?

00:51:38It's on your...

00:51:39You're wearing them

00:51:39on your Facebook page.

00:51:44Hey, man.

00:51:45That's what you...

00:51:45That's what you guys

00:51:46for, right?

00:51:46Yeah.

00:51:47I lost you.

00:51:48Hold on, hold on,

00:51:50hold on, hold on.

00:51:51Hold on.

00:51:51Kobe, hold on.

00:51:52You know how we roll, right?

00:51:54It's here.

00:51:55You have those shoes, right?

00:51:56Nope.

00:51:57I'm not going to move.

00:51:58Did you give those shoes

00:51:59to somebody?

00:52:00No, I was supposed

00:52:01to give them to me.

00:52:01But I didn't give them.

00:52:03I left them at a friend's house.

00:52:05When?

00:52:06Long time.

00:52:07Okay.

00:52:08All right.

00:52:08We'll talk to you

00:52:09for a minute.

00:52:13Listen, man.

00:52:14How long have we known

00:52:15each other?

00:52:16A long time.

00:52:17A long time.

00:52:19I know your family.

00:52:20All right?

00:52:22I know you.

00:52:23I know you.

00:52:24And that may be

00:52:25the case,

00:52:26but they don't have you

00:52:27up here for no reason.

00:52:28I've been doing this

00:52:29for a long time.

00:52:30I'm telling you 100%

00:52:32that everything

00:52:33that they're asking you,

00:52:34they know the answers to

00:52:35for the most part.

00:52:36They're not just asking you

00:52:38for no reason.

00:52:39This is your opportunity

00:52:41to help yourself out

00:52:42as best you can.

00:52:44There's only one thing

00:52:45I need from you.

00:52:46What's that?

00:52:47I need for you

00:52:48to at least tell me

00:52:49the truth.

00:53:09I don't want to see you

00:53:10throw your life away, dude.

00:53:12Me neither.

00:53:13I just got home

00:53:14so I can get my life

00:53:15back together.

00:53:17Right.

00:53:18And I don't want to see

00:53:19anything happen to you.

00:53:20But if you're not

00:53:21telling the truth,

00:53:22you know what's

00:53:23going to happen.

00:53:24But I had nothing

00:53:25to do with this situation.

00:53:26I had nothing to do

00:53:27with it.

00:53:27I don't even know

00:53:27what's going on.

00:53:30I'm not saying that

00:53:31you did anything

00:53:32that you shot somebody.

00:53:35But I know you might

00:53:36be a witness to it.

00:53:37Witness to what?

00:53:38Murder?

00:53:40I didn't know

00:53:41nothing about

00:53:41no murder,

00:53:42no knife.

00:53:43I didn't know

00:53:44it was something

00:53:45that happened

00:53:45on Star Room

00:53:46last week.

00:53:46I saw it on Facebook.

00:53:49So what happened?

00:53:50I don't know.

00:53:51They said somebody

00:53:51being robbed or some

00:53:52that they get

00:53:53in the armed robbery

00:53:53with you.

00:53:54I guess one person

00:53:55died of some

00:53:56I don't know

00:53:57nothing about the

00:53:57I'd be in my

00:53:58cowhouse,

00:53:59I'd be at her

00:53:59and I'd be home.

00:54:01Other than that,

00:54:02I don't be in

00:54:02nowhere else.

00:54:05You know there's

00:54:06a difference between

00:54:06being a suspect

00:54:08and a witness, right?

00:54:11What's the difference?

00:54:12I ain't a suspect.

00:54:13I'm innocent by saying that.

00:54:15Right.

00:54:15And what's a witness?

00:54:17Someone has knowledge

00:54:18of me.

00:54:18I don't got knowledge

00:54:19of shit.

00:54:20Right.

00:54:20So there's two

00:54:21different things.

00:54:22Yeah.

00:54:22I guess I don't

00:54:23have knowledge

00:54:24of what happened

00:54:25Thursday night

00:54:25and I was not a

00:54:26suspect of shit

00:54:27after Thursday night.

00:54:29I got you.

00:54:30I understand

00:54:30what you're saying.

00:54:32Don't you

00:54:32try to say.

00:54:33I'm trying to

00:54:34understand what's

00:54:35going on.

00:54:36I wasn't there.

00:54:38And if I was,

00:54:39I'd have told you

00:54:39what I was there,

00:54:40but I wasn't there.

00:54:43What if there's

00:54:44something that

00:54:45shows different?

00:54:46There's something

00:54:46that shows different

00:54:47than I and me.

00:54:48I and me.

00:54:50I don't want to be

00:54:50anywhere.

00:54:53All right.

00:54:54It's Sergeant Bailey.

00:55:03when he tells you

00:55:04that we have a lot

00:55:05more than what

00:55:06you think we have.

00:55:07I want to wait

00:57:44I didn't know

00:57:44he has none

00:57:45of this.

00:57:47I'm telling you.

00:57:48I'm going to speak

00:57:52I'm going to speak

00:57:53to my lawyer.

00:57:54I'm leaving.

00:57:54He's staying

00:57:55as your friend.

00:57:55I'm leaving.

00:57:56I don't got no

00:57:57friends.

00:57:57I don't got no

00:57:58friends.

00:57:58I'm going to speak

00:57:59to my lawyer.

00:58:00I understand.

00:58:01But, Kobe,

00:58:02listen to what I'm

00:58:02telling you.

00:58:04Turn around,

00:58:04man.

00:58:04Let's talk.

00:58:05Turn around.

00:58:06Let's talk.

00:58:07That's disrespectful

00:58:07I'm going to turn

00:58:08your back on me.

00:58:09Y'all seen I was

00:58:11a mom and an

00:58:11armed robbery

00:58:12about some

00:58:12talking about

00:58:13that no more.

00:58:15I'm here for you.

00:58:17I think this is

00:58:18the best detective

00:58:19unit in the state,

00:58:20probably in the world.

00:58:22They're great

00:58:23at what they do.

00:58:24They'll find the truth.

00:58:25I guarantee you

00:58:26that.

00:58:26They'll find it,

00:58:27but I wasn't there.

00:58:28They'll find the truth.

00:58:29Yeah.

00:58:30I'm always around,

00:58:31so call me if you

00:58:32need to talk to me

00:58:33about this.

00:58:34All right.

00:58:40He loaded up,

00:58:41so it's not

00:58:41what you can do.

00:58:42Oh, yeah,

00:58:43he loaded up.

00:58:43He was being

00:58:44faced with too much

00:58:45music.

00:58:45But I did leave

00:58:46him with,

00:58:48I'll be here.

00:58:49I can just have

00:58:50somebody call me.

00:58:50We'll talk it out.

00:58:53When I got the

00:58:54call that he was

00:58:54down here,

00:58:55I had to get

00:58:55prepared to put

00:58:56the Big Brother

00:58:57coat on.

00:58:58Sergeant Mike

00:58:59Brown first met

00:59:00Kobe several years

00:59:01ago as a school

00:59:02resource officer.

00:59:03I played football

00:59:04with his uncle

00:59:05in high school,

00:59:06and he walked

00:59:07up to me like,

00:59:08hey, you know

00:59:08my family.

00:59:09And so we formed

00:59:10a pretty good rapport,

00:59:11good relationship,

00:59:12and I always kept

00:59:14that door open

00:59:14with him like,

00:59:15hey, man,

00:59:16if you need

00:59:16something,

00:59:17I'm there for you.

00:59:18But in this case,

00:59:19it's different.

00:59:20I mean, it's a murder,

00:59:21so it's kind of hard

00:59:23to break that barrier

00:59:24right now.

00:59:25Probation officer

00:59:26called just now.

00:59:28Yeah.

00:59:30Kobe's mom

00:59:31called her.

00:59:31She found credit

00:59:33cards and debit

00:59:33cards with Hispanic

00:59:34names and

00:59:36Christian's room.

00:59:37According to the

00:59:38parole officer,

00:59:39the cards were

00:59:40found in a bedroom

00:59:41shared by Kobe's

00:59:42two younger brothers.

00:59:44Kobe's got a brother

00:59:45named Christian

00:59:46and a brother

00:59:47named Jameson.

00:59:53Christian Bryant?

00:59:5420-year-old

00:59:54Christian Bryant

00:59:55has no prior convictions.

01:00:00This is Jameson Bryant.

01:00:0218-year-old Jameson Bryant

01:00:04also has no prior convictions.

01:00:06The thing is,

01:00:07is we have four suspects,

01:00:09so it could be all them

01:00:10and Tristan.

01:00:12I'm ready to go home.

01:00:14Got it in the room,

01:00:15you man.

01:00:16Come on.

01:00:16That's what I'm thinking.

01:00:17It's going to be him,

01:00:19his two brothers,

01:00:20probably,

01:00:20and Tristan.

01:00:21That witness approach

01:00:22may be failing with him

01:00:23because he knows

01:00:24it's his brother

01:00:25to be the shooter.

01:00:27hell.

01:00:29Let's go.

01:00:30We've got to get

01:00:30a search warrant going.

01:00:31We need to get someone

01:00:32over there to get those.

01:00:34Give Tiffany the phone number

01:00:36because Tiffany's going to go

01:00:37with Gina and Cockro.

01:00:42That's her apartment.

01:00:43That's her contact number.

01:00:45Okay.

01:00:47Really, if we can get

01:00:47the names on the cards

01:00:49and then we'll do

01:00:50a search warrant.

01:00:51I hope they come back

01:00:51to our victims.

01:00:54I think these are our guys.

01:01:01If the credit card

01:01:03comes back

01:01:03to one of the victims

01:01:04that was robbed,

01:01:05that would seal the deal.

01:01:14Hello?

01:01:15Yeah.

01:01:22I'm going to put you

01:01:22on speaker.

01:01:23I'm going to repeat that.

01:01:25Caitlin just got a call back

01:01:26from our robbery victim.

01:01:28He confirmed that

01:01:29that bank card is his.

01:01:34Thank you so much.

01:01:36That's awesome.

01:01:36That's great news.

01:01:38Bye.

01:01:39Kofor's son fled

01:01:40the residence

01:01:41and she doesn't know

01:01:42where they are.

01:01:44According to their mother,

01:01:45Christian and Jameson

01:01:46left home

01:01:47after hearing Kobe

01:01:48was detained

01:01:49and won't return her calls.

01:01:51Kobe is staying

01:01:52with his girlfriend

01:01:53which is in Goose Creek.

01:01:55That means the clothing

01:01:56is probably

01:01:57in her house

01:01:58in Goose Creek.

01:01:59The team will get warrants

01:02:00to search Kobe's

01:02:01girlfriend's house

01:02:02and his mother's house

01:02:03for additional evidence.

01:02:05It's his two brothers.

01:02:07That's why he can't.

01:02:08That's why he won't play

01:02:09because he can't

01:02:09write on his brothers.

01:02:11I think with the credit card

01:02:13being found now

01:02:14that belonging to the victim,

01:02:15I think obviously

01:02:16murder charge on him

01:02:17and they're to gain.

01:02:18I'm going to go murder on him

01:02:20because he's with him

01:02:21before and after.

01:02:23What the f***

01:02:24he's going on?

01:02:26What the f***

01:02:28is going on?

01:02:34I don't like the way

01:02:35this thing's going.

01:02:37What are you trying to say?

01:02:38I'm going to jail?

01:02:40All right.

01:02:40What are you going to jail for?

01:02:41They just told me

01:02:42they found some stuff

01:02:44at your mama's house

01:02:45and that's not cool.

01:02:47Like that ain't cool

01:02:48because I'm sure

01:02:48your mama ain't

01:02:49have nothing to do.

01:02:50My mama sure,

01:02:50she don't

01:02:51and I don't either.

01:02:53So who has access

01:02:54to your mom's house

01:02:55besides you

01:02:55and your brothers?

01:02:57They don't.

01:02:57And my mom.

01:02:59Okay.

01:03:01So which one of them

01:03:02might be involved in this?

01:03:19Well, I don't know

01:03:20which one of them

01:03:20would have been involved today.

01:03:21I don't know.

01:03:21I get it.

01:03:22I understand.

01:03:24It's tough.

01:03:28I can't point fingers

01:03:29like that.

01:03:29I can't take nothing

01:03:30but nothing.

01:03:33Put the charges on.

01:03:35They're probably going to

01:03:36charge you with murder.

01:03:37I charge you

01:03:38and murder for?

01:03:40I don't want to

01:03:41I don't want to

01:03:42do it, man.

01:03:42Don't put your mom

01:03:43through this, bro.

01:03:44Don't do it.

01:03:46You've got to be

01:03:47responsible for anything

01:03:48that you've done

01:03:49or anything that you

01:03:49have knowledge of.

01:03:53Really didn't find out

01:03:53my mama's house?

01:03:54I don't know

01:03:56All right.

01:04:03If you know

01:04:04I'm talking to me

01:04:04you know where I'm at.

01:04:05You know the game's

01:04:05contacting me.

01:04:06See if they answered

01:04:07before.

01:04:10He's not coming off.

01:04:11He's going to tell

01:04:12on a brother, you know.

01:04:13So I understand.

01:04:15but

01:04:16it's what it is.

01:04:20Sounds like

01:04:21his brothers are involved.

01:04:24Some of the things

01:04:25may be at his

01:04:26mother's house.

01:04:26It's a sad situation

01:04:27but it never has

01:04:29to happen this way.

01:04:30We all have choices.

01:04:31I told him

01:04:31if he wants to

01:04:32talk to us

01:04:33he knows how

01:04:33to get in touch with me.

01:04:37All right.

01:04:37We're going to

01:04:38transport you to jail.

01:04:39What are my choices?

01:04:40Murder.

01:04:41Murder?

01:04:41Yeah, murder.

01:04:42Me?

01:04:43Yeah, you.

01:04:43How the f***

01:04:47that's not me, bro.

01:04:49Wrong person.

01:04:50Ain't no f***ing murder.

01:04:51Well, you're being

01:04:51charged with murder.

01:04:52That's a f***ing down, bro.

01:04:53That's a f***ing down.

01:04:55Stupid as a bitch.

01:04:55We're going to transport you

01:04:55to the jail, so.

01:04:56That's a f***ing

01:04:57I'm trying to transport you.

01:04:58Dumb-ass people.

01:05:00Dumb-ass people.

01:05:02Taking that s***

01:05:02all the way to trial.

01:05:04I'm calling.

01:05:05It's been a good day.

01:05:07We actually got

01:05:08two suspects

01:05:09in custody for murder.

01:05:11So out of the three suspects,

01:05:12that's Tristan Robertson

01:05:14and that's Kobe Bryant.

01:05:17This person we do not know

01:05:19and he's the shooter.

01:05:20There's actually

01:05:20a fourth suspect

01:05:21that's not pictured here

01:05:22that shows up with them.

01:05:24I believe it's going

01:05:25to be his brother's.

01:05:26It's just not proving it.

01:05:37The next day.

01:05:41You want some water

01:05:42or something?

01:05:43No, I'm okay.

01:05:46This is Kobe's mom.

01:05:48Kobe's probation officer

01:05:49wrote me an email

01:05:50this morning saying that

01:05:51Kobe's mom wanted

01:05:53to talk to us.

01:05:54She wants to provide

01:05:55additional information

01:05:56because she thinks

01:05:57that her other son

01:05:58is involved

01:05:59with the other son.

01:06:02Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.

01:06:06Hello, man.

01:06:07Detective Bantime.

01:06:08Nice to meet you.

01:06:11I got here.

01:06:11Two sons that live with you

01:06:13are Christian with a K?

01:06:16Yes.

01:06:17And the other one

01:06:17is Jameson?

01:06:18Yes.

01:06:19Where are they now?

01:06:20I have no clue.

01:06:24When did Kobe move out?

01:06:26Kobe's been gone

01:06:27for about a month

01:06:27and I found out

01:06:29what I found out yesterday.

01:06:30What did you find out?

01:06:31Well, what I heard

01:06:32from Kobe's PO

01:06:34is that first

01:06:35he was being detained

01:06:36and he was supposed

01:06:36to be a person

01:06:37of interest

01:06:38to the robbery.

01:06:41And I was like,

01:06:41what?

01:06:42Like that?

01:06:42You know,

01:06:43I'm shocked.

01:06:44So she was just

01:06:45filling me in

01:06:45what's going on

01:06:46and she said

01:06:47it was a Mexican

01:06:49person that died.

01:06:52I was like,

01:06:52what?

01:06:53I was like,

01:06:53it's funny when she said

01:06:55that I was like,

01:06:55well,

01:06:55I found a Mexican

01:06:56check in my house

01:06:58Friday.

01:06:59Yes.

01:06:59When I went

01:07:00inside their room

01:07:01and it was sitting

01:07:01on the floor

01:07:02so I picked it up

01:07:03and I looked at it.

01:07:04I'm like,

01:07:05I know for sure

01:07:06there's nobody

01:07:06in my house

01:07:07so when Christian

01:07:08got back

01:07:08I was like,

01:07:09well,

01:07:09whose check is this?

01:07:10Oh,

01:07:11I found it

01:07:12on the ground.

01:07:12I said,

01:07:13well,

01:07:13why would you be stupid

01:07:14to pick it up

01:07:14and bring it home?

01:07:15Just get rid of it.

01:07:17He said he tore it out

01:07:18and he threw it away.

01:07:21Sunday passed.

01:07:22I found another check.

01:07:24And there's a credit card too

01:07:25so now that everything

01:07:26is added up,

01:07:27I said,

01:07:27well,

01:07:27let me just let her know

01:07:28what's going on.

01:07:29You know what I'm saying?

01:07:30Yeah,

01:07:31yeah,

01:07:31I really appreciate that.

01:07:34I know it's hard.

01:07:35Pull forward.

01:07:36I can't get a time like this.

01:07:39Tristan?

01:07:40I don't know

01:07:40who Tristan was.

01:07:41We got him.

01:07:43This definitely looks like

01:07:44Dad looks like Cole.

01:07:47And look at that one too.

01:07:50Oh yeah,

01:07:51that's definitely James.

01:07:53Which one is?

01:07:54That's definitely James.

01:07:56He's the only one

01:07:57that wears this

01:07:58third degree jacket.

01:08:00G.I.D.'s

01:08:00the suspected shooter

01:08:02as her 18-year-old son,

01:08:04James.

01:08:06Do you think Christian

01:08:07would be with him?

01:08:08Do you think he'd be

01:08:08one of the guys

01:08:09running in the video?

01:08:14I'm not sure.

01:08:18I can call him

01:08:18if you need me too.

01:08:19Yeah, you can ask me.

01:08:21No,

01:08:22I'm going to just be

01:08:22scared at what time

01:08:23because I mean,

01:08:24I don't have the time

01:08:24to shake a cord or something.

01:08:26It ain't.

01:08:29I'm going to ask you,

01:08:30honestly,

01:08:31you got something

01:08:32to do with this wrong

01:08:32with you?

01:08:34Yeah,

01:08:35I've been able to

01:08:36like them

01:08:37that wasn't involved.

01:08:37How do you mean

01:08:38you've been with them?

01:08:41So you've been there

01:08:42when the robber

01:08:43was the place too

01:08:44because the surveillance

01:08:45touches I'm looking at?

01:08:46I expect all three of them

01:08:47look like y'all.

01:08:48Jameson been there too?

01:08:51I need you to ask my question.

01:08:53Was Jameson with y'all?

01:08:55Y'all knew what y'all did.

01:08:57When I found them checks

01:08:58and I asked you

01:08:58about them checks,

01:08:59why y'all did what y'all did?

01:09:01Y'all,

01:09:01you know somebody did?

01:09:05You're not involved in it,

01:09:06but you've been there

01:09:07when the robbery

01:09:08was going on?

01:09:09You don't,

01:09:10you don't want to speak

01:09:10on the phone

01:09:11so would you like

01:09:11to come in

01:09:12and talk a question

01:09:12right now

01:09:12because this is

01:09:13serious matters to y'all.

01:09:18If you ain't did nothing

01:09:19then why are you running?

01:09:24I ain't the person

01:09:25that you hung up.

01:09:26You said Jameson

01:09:28was with him?

01:09:28Yes.

01:09:29He said of course.

01:09:30Oh, is that what he said?

01:09:31I couldn't hear.

01:09:32Yeah.

01:09:32So all three of my kids

01:09:34and the other one.

01:09:35Yeah.

01:09:36So I don't know

01:09:36what else to do.

01:09:37No, you've done a lot.

01:09:38I appreciate you

01:09:39calling him and all that

01:09:41and if you can convince him

01:09:42to come and meet with us

01:09:44at some point,

01:09:44not now,

01:09:45I mean just, you know.

01:09:46No, he needs to come now.

01:09:47He knows that's why

01:09:49he hung up.

01:09:51I appreciate it.

01:09:53No problem.

01:09:54I think that's about it.

01:09:55I know we have your number.

01:09:57As far as a victim,

01:09:58I know I'm probably

01:09:59not allowed to reach out

01:10:01to them because

01:10:01they are my kids

01:10:02do some things

01:10:03but can I express

01:10:04my sympathy?

01:10:05You know,

01:10:06I do just apologize for it.

01:10:07I can't take it back

01:10:08but you know,

01:10:09it's just not right

01:10:09at the end of the day.

01:10:11Oh gosh.

01:10:12They make their own choices.

01:10:15Okay?

01:10:16Don't put that on you.

01:10:20Yeah, of course

01:10:21he can't come back.

01:10:22It wasn't because

01:10:23there's a choice

01:10:23that you made.

01:10:26I'm fine.

01:10:27I'm not here today.

01:10:28Okay.

01:10:29I'm trying to focus.

01:10:30Okay.

01:10:30But Sarah,

01:10:31I'll reach out

01:10:32to see what I can do

01:10:33and I'll let you know

01:10:34I didn't go from there.

01:10:35It's fine.

01:10:37No problem.

01:10:41She is so cooperative.

01:10:42She's an amazingly

01:10:43wonderful cooperative mother.

01:10:45And all three of her kids

01:10:47are involved.

01:10:47I feel horrible for her.

01:10:49She identified one

01:10:50in the middle

01:10:51saying that looks like Jameson

01:10:52and then she called

01:10:54Christian on the phone

01:10:55and he said he was there

01:10:56and Jameson was there

01:10:57for the robbery.

01:11:03They're in the wind

01:11:04and she's going to try

01:11:05to call them

01:11:06and try to get them

01:11:07to come in.

01:11:08That made the case

01:11:09right there

01:11:09helping us to

01:11:12bring justice

01:11:13to this family

01:11:13quicker than it would

01:11:14have been done

01:11:14if she hadn't come in

01:11:16and gave us

01:11:16that information.

01:11:17She was upset

01:11:18but she said

01:11:19that she wanted

01:11:19to appear in court

01:11:21just so she can

01:11:22see the victims

01:11:24and tell them

01:11:24how sorry she is

01:11:25that her sons did this.

01:11:28Our two

01:17:08times like

01:17:10he's gonna kill

01:17:10himself when he

01:17:23for lack of a better

01:17:24term of what

01:17:25they did

01:17:27the next step

01:17:28would be

01:17:28obviously get

01:17:29Jameson in custody

01:25:04of the robbery

01:25:04he fired shots

01:25:06which ended up

01:25:07killing an innocent person

01:25:08those actions led to

01:25:10him being charged with murder

01:25:12and the other three members

01:25:13of the group

01:25:14being charged with murder

01:25:15instead of just armed robbery

01:25:16I think it was this my

01:25:22reason

01:25:22what do you think it was

01:25:24all zwei

01:25:25somewherewhere

01:25:26they're

01:25:27think that is coming in

01:25:39the car

01:25:39car

01:25:39where who

01:25:39you think it was set with

01:25:46the car

01:25:46and she

01:26:08This was an act that should have never happened.

01:26:10And now one mother has three of her sons in jail for murder.

01:26:15And the other mother has her son gone forever.

01:26:19But I'm thankful that the mother of the suspect stepped forward and did the right thing.

01:26:23That's unique.

01:26:24And I'm thankful.

01:26:26And I know that the family must be thankful towards her for stepping up and doing that,

01:26:31even at the cost of her kids.

01:26:59This photo was when he arrived here in South Carolina.

01:27:22He loved being an uncle.

01:27:24My kids were never without a candy or a lollipop or something, because Uncle Bocho bought it.

01:27:32He was a great guy.

01:27:34Anything we needed, he was always willing to help.

01:27:38Yes, well, like I didn't talk about it, he did a lot of work.

01:27:44To the people who met him, he knew that he was like, I don't have a word.

01:27:53All day, we're sad.

01:28:02All day.

01:28:23We're sad.

01:28:25All day, we're sad.
