00:21911, can you please hire me?
00:23I need ambulance, I need ambulance right now, ambulance right now.
00:28Hello? Hello?
00:30What is the address of the emergency?
00:33South Darlington Avenue.
00:35The poison are dying, please!
00:37Please turn up!
00:40He's not in the head.
00:42Oh my God!
00:44Are you a person right now?
00:45Yes!
00:47He's, he's dying!
00:49He's dying!
00:50They're coming lights and fire.
00:53Go, go, go, come out.
01:00Oh!
01:03Oh!
01:04Oh!
01:05Oh!
01:06Oh!
01:07Oh!
01:08Oh!
01:08Oh!
01:08Hold on.
01:09Hold on.
01:10Check his pulse.
01:11Check his pulse.
01:12Anybody else in here?
01:14Nobody else in here?
01:16Check his pulse right now.
01:20I can't tell him.
01:21You can't tell his pulse?
01:23No.
01:23Any other injuries on him?
01:27No, it's just in his head.
01:29Suicide?
01:30Looks like it.
01:33Let's start setting it down.
01:38Oh, hey, look at the window.
01:41Oh, it got shot out.
01:43Oh, look at all the glass all over the bed.
01:46There's multiple holes.
01:47Yeah, he got shot through that window.
01:49Oh, ****.
01:50Yeah, you're right.
01:51I'm heading for this.
01:53This is the homicide.
01:55We need to get everybody out.
02:06For homicide detectives, their chance of solving a murder is cut in half if they don't get a lead within
02:13the first 48 hours.
02:33All right, so what do we have so far?
02:35The victim is Adavion, last name Herring.
02:4217-year-old Adavion Herring was born in Brookhaven, Mississippi, a sophomore at Memorial High School.
02:48He had a deep love of sports, dancing, and rapping.
02:53He leaves behind his mother, stepfather, seven brothers, and three sisters.
03:01Listed as a runaway since December.
03:04Okay.
03:08So mother-daughter live in the apartment.
03:10The daughter's boyfriend, the victim, is his friend.
03:15According to the mother, her daughter's boyfriend and his friend, Adavion, had been spending the night.
03:22They're all hanging out in her bedroom.
03:26Gunshots start going up through her bedroom window.
03:29I guess her boyfriend runs out.
03:31The boyfriend was not on scene when police arrived.
03:36Okay.
03:37Let's see real quick.
03:53So here's our victim that looks to be hit on the side of the head on the right side.
04:04Bullet defects through the wall.
04:10There's also multiple projectiles that are lodged in the bathroom door.
04:14Okay.
04:17They basically blindly fired into the window.
04:19That's what it looks like.
04:21Let's try to get all projectiles.
04:23Hey, let's get those.
04:25There's a whole bunch of casings in here.
04:29Bunch of 45s.
04:33Those casings in that parking lot.
04:36Those are all nice.
04:45Any bullet holes or anything?
04:46No, no bullet holes.
04:48Just a back on the windshield.
04:51It's kind of weird that they got a bunch of rubber gloves in this car.
04:56Hey!
04:59Call some police!
05:00Call some police!
05:03Come behind you.
05:04Watch your crossfire.
05:05Watch your crossfire.
05:06I got hands.
05:07Is he the only one you see in there, Hudson?
05:10I backed away.
05:10All I saw was his feet and legs.
05:13Okay.
05:14Open this.
05:14Keep your hands up.
05:17Keep your hands up.
05:18Come towards me.
05:19I got you.
05:24Who are you?
05:29My boyfriend.
05:31Whose car is this?
05:37He says he's the friend of a Davion.
05:40And why are you sitting out here not talking to us?
05:42Because I'm scared for my life.
05:44So you didn't see 15 freaking police cars out here and want to talk to us?
05:48Let's go.
05:49Sir, clear for the car.
06:03Nothing.
06:04Okay.
06:05Clear.
06:08A friend.
06:09He's hiding in the car.
06:10That's rude.
06:12Make sure he didn't put a gun in there.
06:14It has been searched already.
06:15And then arrange for these people to get taken down to to take through there.
06:20Patrol will transport the boyfriend and the mother and daughter who live in the apartment
06:24to homicide for questioning.
06:31I don't know why he's coming out and hiding into a car right next to where they're shooting.
06:37Tell me it's not my child.
06:39Please.
06:40Tell me.
06:41Please.
06:42Please.
06:43The mother of our victim, they called her.
06:46I'll go talk to her.
06:48Oh, God.
06:49I'm going to get your information.
06:51Okay?
06:51Wow.
06:52Do you want to sit down in the car?
06:53Come on.
06:53Let's sit down in the car wipe up.
06:55Oh, God.
06:58I see my baby where he is.
07:01No.
07:01You're not going to be able to see him right now.
07:03He's in the apartment.
07:04Why y'all leave him in there?
07:06We have to.
07:07Why y'all didn't take him to the hospital?
07:09He did not suffer.
07:11The way it was, he did not suffer.
07:14Jesus.
07:14Okay.
07:15Jesus.
07:16Okay.
07:17Jesus.
07:20I'm so sorry.
07:22You're going to have to be strong, mama.
07:24The pain you're going through is going to be hard.
07:28I'm never going to lie to you.
07:29But you got people here that love you.
07:31People here that are going to be here for you.
07:33We're going to be here for you.
07:35Okay?
07:38Somebody told me that your son had been a runaway.
07:41How long has he been a runaway?
07:43Oh, my God.
07:44I haven't seen him.
07:46You see Sandy?
07:48Okay.
07:48Do you know where he might have been staying at?
07:52Okay.
07:53I work for you guys.
07:55Okay?
07:57Don't matter what time of day it is.
07:59If anything, call me.
08:04I'm going to head to the division.
08:07They shot through the window blindly.
08:09They probably were looking in the shadows because the lights were on,
08:12so they probably saw movement and shadows.
08:14They basically just opened fire into the window,
08:16struck our victim in the head.
08:18I mean, it probably lights out pretty quick.
08:20And so, right now we have the victim's friend down there,
08:24the victim's friend's girlfriend,
08:26and then the girlfriend's mom.
08:28And I'm hoping, you know,
08:30the street stuff will go out the window
08:32and others will be legit and say,
08:33this is what happened.
08:34What's up?
08:35We shall see.
08:45These are the people, the witnesses that we have down here.
08:51I'm just trying to learn who they are.
08:54That's him.
08:57Well, he might be Five Tray.
09:00The boyfriend's record indicates an affiliation
09:02with a local street gang, the Five Tray Crips.
09:06All right, let's look this up.
09:09Detective Vernon McNeil and Detective Reggie Warren
09:12interview the mother who lives in the apartment.
09:18All right.
09:19So walk me through what you can remember from this morning.
09:24They had been over all day the previous day.
09:27I told my daughter that this ain't no flop house.
09:30We're not going to just be hanging out over here.
09:33So when I went to work this morning,
09:35everybody left the house.
09:37When I came home from work today,
09:39she was on the phone talking to .
09:42And I said out loud,
09:44I'm cooking if you want to come eat.
09:46And he's like, yeah.
09:47He calls me mama,
09:48but I'm not that acquainted with the young man.
09:51Him and Davion came over maybe around 9, 9.30.
09:56I made them plates.
09:57We ate dinner.
10:00I called her the night.
10:02I'm going back to my bedroom.
10:06Next thing, I just hear,
10:09wow, wow, wow.
10:12And I hopped out of my room bedroom.
10:15As I come down the hallway,
10:16I looked to her room.
10:17I couldn't see the young man's full body,
10:19but I could see his feet.
10:21And I could tell by how he was laying that
10:24something was terribly wrong.
10:27He looked lifeless.
10:28Like, I could tell.
10:32just was standing there, like, confused.
10:37And so I was like, call the police, call the police.
10:41He's like, no, don't call the police, mom.
10:42Don't call the police, mom.
10:58He said not to call the police?
11:00Yeah.
11:00He's like, no, no, don't call the police.
11:02I'm like, yes, we have to call the police.
11:10I'm kind of in a panic, just like running back and forth.
11:13But he left off the apartment.
11:17How long did we know him?
11:19It's been the fourth or fifth time he's been by the house.
11:22OK.
11:23And the only reason why I said I let him come over
11:24is because she kept trying to sneak out to see him.
11:27And it would stay gone all night.
11:28And I would be so worried about where she was at.
11:31Yeah, I get it.
11:32Come over to the house.
11:33So that way, I wouldn't know where she was.
11:34Yeah.
11:36How long have you known a dating?
11:37It's like his little right-hand man.
11:39He's never not been at the house without him.
11:42OK.
11:43Did you know that was gang affiliated?
11:47I would say that I'm not naive.
11:50And so I could say that my judgment would tell me that he was.
11:54But I never asked.
11:58She keeps bad company.
12:00I've had girls come over there and jump on me and her.
12:03Really?
12:03Yeah.
12:04They were jumping her so bad, I tried to go outside and stop her.
12:07And I got beat up by a bunch of 17-year-olds.
12:11I cuss her friends out all the time.
12:13They don't think her mom's crazy drunk.
12:14No, I don't like y'all.
12:16Y'all keep her in trouble.
12:19It's always something that I never thought that this would be, like, the breakaway.
12:25Yeah, it's sad.
12:26And then, I mean, I talked to his mom.
12:27His mom is just...
12:29Yeah.
12:31It's a sad deal all the way around.
12:33If you hear anything, please reach out to me.
12:35Text me.
12:36Yes, sir.
12:42Mom's a sweet lady.
12:44She's, uh...
12:45She's doing everything she can do to help.
12:47Say that.
12:52All right, let's see what this young man has to say.
12:59I'm Detective Me Neal.
13:00Call me Vernon.
13:02This is my partner, Reggie.
13:04All right?
13:05I get the street stuff, man.
13:07We've been doing this a long time.
13:08That's out the window.
13:09Your homeboy got killed.
13:10I've been taking care of him all by myself.
13:13Trying to, you know, give him a place to stay, you know.
13:15Food to eat, clothes on his back, somewhere to shower.
13:19You know, so I've been taking care of him for the past three months.
13:22Okay.
13:22You're not in any trouble.
13:25But we expect you to be straight up with us.
13:27Okay?
13:28That fair man to man?
13:29Is that fair?
13:30Yeah.
13:31Okay.
13:31Walk me through what happened.
13:34I just remember me waking up.
13:38And all I hear is ringing in my ears.
13:41And there's glass everywhere.
13:43When I'm looking around, I'm confused to, like, what even went on.
13:48When I'm asking her, I'm like, what just happened?
13:50What just happened?
13:51What just happened?
13:52She's like, somebody just shot up the house.
13:54Somebody just shot up the house.
13:56Okay.
13:56I'm like, who?
13:58She's like, I don't know.
13:59I don't know.
14:00Check on Adevion.
14:02Adevion was laying right by the dresser.
14:05I had told them, like, call 911.
14:10They was screaming, panicking.
14:12The mama was like, something, something, something.
14:15I don't think you should be here whenever they come.
14:19And I'm like, but this is my friend, right?
14:21Your daughter is my girlfriend, you know?
14:23So how is that going to look?
14:26So instead of me leaving either one of them, I went inside the car.
14:33So after you hear the shouts and all that stuff, you're the one saying call 911?
14:39I wasn't the only one saying it, but I was the first one to say it.
14:46That's not what we were told.
14:49Do you think mom's a liar?
14:50Is she going to just lie?
14:53Can't really speak on her behalf.
14:54I don't know the network.
14:58So would it shock you when mom was talking about calling 911?
15:00When he said, wait, wait, don't call 911?
15:03Would that be accurate?
15:05It's a traumatizing moment.
15:07It is a possibility.
15:09I'm not going to lie.
15:10It is a possibility.
15:13Okay.
15:14You got to be honest with me, okay?
15:18What set are you?
15:20See, I used to think it was cool, but as soon as I lost my best friend, I just started.
15:27He says several months ago, after another friend was murdered, he left the gang and moved away.
15:34So I moved to Texas.
15:36I just lost my brother.
15:38I'm like, no more.
15:40Somebody got to break the pattern.
15:42You feel what I'm saying?
15:43I can't do it here.
15:45You know, I'm always in some type of trouble.
15:48I'm ready to move on with my life, you know?
15:53Until late December, that's just when I moved back.
15:57Has he been back two months, two and a half months?
16:00I think three.
16:02Before you stopped, what set did you claim?
16:05I was claiming a fire trip.
16:08Fire trip, who have you been having issues with?
16:12I don't have issues with nobody.
16:15Whenever somebody tries to do the beef thing, I kind of just ignore them.
16:21So, man, this might not be gang stuff.
16:23Maybe this is over your girl.
16:26Maybe some other dude liked your girl and didn't like you.
16:30Is that possible?
16:32Could be.
16:33All right.
16:34I've never had situations like that before.
16:36He says two weeks ago, he was on a video call with his girlfriend when another male jumped in.
16:43I don't know where a dude, he snatched the phone.
16:45He was covering up the camera.
16:47He was like something, something, something.
16:49You going there?
16:50You going there?
16:51And then, like, when she got the phone back or whatever, it was her laughing in the background.
16:57Who'd she tell you it was?
16:59She told me it was her old friend.
17:01And what was her saying?
17:03Never told me it was her name.
17:05Ain't no way in the world some fool going to grab her phone and get on there and run his
17:11mouth to you and you not ask who that was.
17:15I care about figuring out who killed your friend.
17:18I think you're leaving some stuff out.
17:20I think you know who might have issues with you and you're not telling me.
17:38Who was it?
17:39I honestly don't know.
17:42I'm going to be real with you because I'm the only female.
17:45So it's like I really didn't care who it was so I didn't care to ask you.
17:56I don't believe everything you're telling me.
17:59But I'm not going to sit here and beg you to do the right thing when I can try to
18:02go figure out who killed your friend in other ways.
18:07All right, man.
18:08It is what it is.
18:20So you kind of have an idea why you're up here, OK?
18:23We want to talk to you about what happened this morning.
18:25OK, so they came over.
18:27Then Devion goes to the living room and goes lay down, go to sleep.
18:31We go and go to sleep.
18:33So come about 1.45, Devion knocks on my door.
18:37He's like, somebody keep banging on the door.
18:41Devion, he was looking out the window trying to see, like, who was it?
18:46I'm like, OK.
18:48I go outside.
18:49I look.
18:50I see two people in my bushes.
18:54But they're not seeing anything.
18:55So I'm like, stop knocking on my door.
18:57It's one in the morning.
18:59So I go back in the house.
19:02I just hear, like, 10 shots.
19:05It's just ringing.
19:07So I immediately, like, I just fall to the floor.
19:10I'm like, oh, my goodness.
19:11Like, did this really happen?
19:13I guess, like, they shot him in the window.
19:17OK.
19:19So you come back in and?
19:21He's in my room on the floor.
19:22On the floor.
19:24So please be 100% honest with me.
19:26OK.
19:27When you said you went outside and you saw two guys, who did you think you saw?
19:38Um, there's a boy named Sion.
19:41And there's a boy named Kyron.
19:44Now, look at me, honey.
19:45This is very important.
19:46How sure are you?
19:48I only actually seen Sion.
19:51Sion was at the bush by my window.
19:53OK.
19:54So when I walked out, I could see Sion.
19:56But I didn't see Kyron, or who I assumed to be Kyron.
19:59Because, like, the patio was kind of blocked.
20:00OK.
20:02But Sion and Kyron are always together.
20:05And they don't want to work without each other.
20:11I mean, we missed her, but we never dated.
20:15Is your boyfriend and Sion beefing?
20:18Yes.
20:19OK.
20:20They're from, like, different sets?
20:21Mm.
20:23Maybe, like, two weeks ago, I was on the phone with him.
20:26And I was, like, with Sion.
20:28And Sion took my phone, and he was like, you want that?
20:32You want that?
20:32He was just talking stuff to him over your phone?
20:35Mm-hmm.
20:38Is there anything else you could think of that might be helpful?
20:43Sion's location, if you want to know, like, where he's at?
20:47Really?
20:48Yes.
20:49Like, uh, iPhone shares?
20:50Yeah, and I think he just forgot to turn it on.
20:54Can you retroactive that?
20:55Like, can you go back to see all the places they've been?
20:57No.
20:58OK, show me that real quick.
21:01Sion's location has not updated in several hours.
21:04Usually I take people's phones to dump them, OK?
21:09Detectives will collect the phone to access Sion's location data.
21:14I just never thought this would happen.
21:18You're hanging out with gangsters, man.
21:21I would tell you, you know, wash your hands of this nonsense, you know.
21:26Don't be hanging around these cats, because here you are today.
21:31And by God's grace, you weren't shot.
21:32I thought it was just fun and games, really.
21:35But, you know, it's not fun or is it a game?
21:41Give me a second.
21:41We'll get you out of here.
21:48There's this allurement of gangster lifestyle.
21:51In my opinion, it's getting a lot of our young people killed
21:54is getting a lot of our young people in trouble.
21:57And it's tragic that they feel that this is how they need to live.
22:05Let me look real quick.
22:12That's Sion.
22:13Sion Ferguson is 17 years old.
22:20And that's Kyron Lee.
22:22Kyron Lee turned 17 two days ago.
22:26Kyron's never really been in trouble, at least here.
22:30They're both five days.
22:33Our witness did not see Sion shoot.
22:36She saw him in the vault within a minute or so?
22:39No.
22:40More like 10 seconds.
22:42She comes outside.
22:43She sees Sion.
22:44He was crashed down by her window.
22:47She walks back into her apartment.
22:48And by the time they're shooting through the window.
22:51So that's maybe less than 10 seconds.
22:54The second guy, she said, I thought it was Kyron.
22:57But I didn't see him because he was dug down behind this bush.
23:01Okay.
23:02Two different calibers.
23:04So both of them shot.
23:05Yeah.
23:06I think there's a prior beef there.
23:08And then so they're going back.
23:08Ain't no doubt.
23:09And this boy got called the middle of it.
23:13I mean, it's where we have a PC on Sion.
23:16She's a good witness.
23:17I mean, she knows him.
23:18She dated.
23:18She used to be in a relationship with him.
23:21Yeah.
23:22Getting good vibes today, man, on this.
23:25It's just like he's sharing his location with his girl.
23:28We just need an updated iPhone pink.
23:40That's it.
23:41He's connected to Wi-Fi.
23:42Man, this is money now.
23:44He's in Westminster.
23:46I'm going to put it on the group.
23:47And Warrants is going to set up on him.
23:56We're in Westminster.
23:58We've got this building surrounded.
24:03I'm caught to see, but it looks like it's going to be the second apartment in from the west.
24:08There's a big old parking lot just to the south.
24:10If you don't mind hanging out over there in case he pops up.
24:13Great report.
24:15There's a car.
24:15There's an Uber.
24:17I mean, is that location still alive?
24:19It looks like it's going to the parking lot.
24:25Retard is going to be black hoodie, black pants.
24:28He's moving.
24:30No, they're getting into a Uber.
24:32That's a bike.
24:33We're going to Toyota Corolla.
24:34Go, go out.
24:35Go west.
24:36GA-9 at 4-second Memorial.
24:38Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and light him up.
24:40He's ready to run.
24:41God, I hope he has a gun on him.
24:45Sorry, target's left side is fast.
24:47Take care of him.
24:49Get out.
24:50Got my car.
24:52Firewalls.
24:53We're not a vehicle.
24:54You've been in your hands.
24:55It's Sean Kelly.
24:59No way outside.
25:01Firewalls.
25:01You are on your side.
25:15Firewalls, walk with me.
25:19Shots, stop right there, turn around.
25:21We can't find your back.
25:22Walk backwards with me.
25:22Keep walking.
25:24Keep walking.
25:30Keep walking.
25:38Hands up.
25:39Walk this way.
25:44Turn her out.
25:45Turn her out.
25:45Hands up.
25:52I got a gun.
25:54There's a gun in his leg.
26:03Yep.
26:04I got another one.
26:05Bingo.
26:18Adam's taking care of that right now.
26:25That's Kyla.
26:25That's Kyla.
26:27Hey, we got a firearm on one of them.
26:29We got a secondary pistol in the car.
26:31Please be a .45.
26:32Did they tell me one's a .45 and others a nine?
26:36It's game.
26:37Yeah.
26:44Yes, sir.
26:48Excellent work, gentlemen.
26:48It's huge.
26:50Right caliber gun.
26:52That's the corroboration that we need.
27:02Is that what else?
27:03Huh?
27:04Wasted.
27:05Downtown.
27:07Let's roll.
27:16Put him on the actual bench.
27:17Sign on the bench.
27:18Sign on the bench.
27:21Sign on the bench.
27:23Kyron.
27:24Yeah, the nine millimeter or .45?
27:25Nine.
27:27It's good he had the gun on him, because I don't
27:28can say the .45 is his.
27:30And he's probably a kill shot.
27:32Game plan is we're going to talk with Kyron first.
27:36We didn't have a criminal history, so we'll try and say,
27:40hey, man, this is what's going on.
27:41And you don't want to throw away the rest of your life
27:44while we're holding out for Sion, because I'm pretty sure
27:47Sion was the one that killed the person.
27:48So hopefully that, you know, will go there, and then he'll
27:53come off of it.
27:57So, man, I'm Detective McNeil.
27:59Please call me Vernon.
28:00This is my partner, Detective Farrell.
28:04And we want to talk to you about why you are down here.
28:10You going to school?
28:12All right.
28:13What grade are you in?
28:14What you call it?
28:15I'm a sophomore.
28:16What do you want to do when you graduate from high school?
28:18What do you want to do with your life?
28:19Going straight to the morning.
28:21I've got to serve 10 years that I ain't never
28:23going to have to work again.
28:24That sounds like a plan, bro.
28:26All right.
28:26So, walk me through the last 24 hours of your life.
28:31I've been at my aunt's house.
28:33And I will stay at the night to smoke with my little
28:35brother and my little cousin.
28:38So, you spent the night?
28:44Okay.
28:46This gentleman here?
28:48He was with me and my aunt.
28:50Okay.
28:52So, Sion spent the night with you.
28:59All right.
29:01Did y'all ever leave your aunt's house last night?
29:04Never?
29:05All the way till when you guys got stopped.
29:07You've been with Sion the whole time?
29:10All right.
29:11Look at me.
29:12Okay?
29:14If you want to have any type of future, whether it's in the Marines, whether you want a family,
29:20any of that, this is where it gets serious.
29:25Okay?
29:27Early this morning, an apartment got shot up and a man was killed.
29:32Mm-mm.
29:33Yeah.
29:35Okay?
29:36No, no, no, no.
29:38You don't know what I'm talking about?
29:40No, no, no, no.
29:41No.
29:42People know Sion that live out there and see Sion.
29:45And another individual shooting the apartment up.
29:48You say, I'm with Sion the entire time.
29:51Till when y'all got stopped in the car, you with a gun and Sion with a gun.
29:56Either one, you were with Sion when that apartment was shot up.
29:59Or two, you're lying and you're trying to cover for Sion.
30:03Which one is it?
30:04Are you lying and trying to cover for Sion?
30:06Mm-mm.
30:07So you were with Sion then?
30:08I wasn't with him when that happened.
30:12But you said you were with him all night.
30:14I was.
30:15Okay.
30:16I remember my eyes.
30:17This is not the time to play the game.
30:19This is possibly the majority of the rest of your life you're talking about.
30:24What you do here today and what you say here today is huge.
30:29I've seen a lot of young men younger than you come in here and play this game like they don't
30:33know nothing about nothing.
30:34And now they're sitting in prison for the next 35 years of their life.
30:38Now both people shot, but I know whose bullet killed this guy.
30:42This is your opportunity to be straight up and tell me what happened this morning.
31:01If you're gonna play this game, we're all, man, you know, yeah, I was at my answer.
31:04I was at this moment, man.
31:06Okay.
31:07So your gun's not gonna come back to that scene?
31:20Okay.
31:21Sit tight, man.
31:22I'll be right back.
31:28He just rinsed him.
31:30Yeah.
31:30He's playing dumb.
31:31He's ride or die with his brother.
31:35Hey, little bro.
31:36You doing all right?
31:37Man, I'm texting me, Neil.
31:39Man, do you know why you're up here?
31:41No.
31:42Do you want to talk to me about why you're up here?
31:46You don't want to talk to me?
31:47Cool beans.
31:47All right.
31:48Hey, you're gonna get booked into jail for first-degree murder.
31:50Okay?
31:51All right, brother.
31:56All right, Sion.
31:57Ready?
32:01Come on, man.
32:04Kyron is going for possession of a firearm by a minor.
32:07We're not gonna arrest Kyron right now for the murder because our witness didn't really identify him.
32:14I don't think we have enough PC just yet.
32:16According to him, him and Sion were together all night last night.
32:19They were at the aunt's house.
32:21I need to talk to her.
32:30The next morning.
32:32Hi.
32:33This is Detective McNeil with the Tulsa Police Department.
32:35I don't know if you heard about that shooting that happened.
32:37Your name has come up as possibly being an alibi witness for one of the people that we think might
32:42be involved.
32:44That's why I need to talk to you.
32:46Okay.
32:48The woman who Kyron calls his aunt says she will come to homicide with her two boys.
32:53All right.
32:53Thanks.
32:55She said, I think my sons will be more beneficial to you than me.
32:58And Davion was best friends with her son.
33:04So I'm hoping they'll talk.
33:06But worst case scenario is they play that street nonsense about not being a snitch, not wanting their name on
33:11paper, and they act like they don't know anything.
33:17So her grandson and her son, we have them separated.
33:21And if you have witnesses together, they'll basically mimic each other's story.
33:25Where if you have them separated, they can't kind of feed off each other.
33:31I'm Detective McNeil, please call me Vernon.
33:35McNeil starts with the grandson.
33:38We're investigating the death of the Davion, okay?
33:41So you saw that Sion was arrested?
33:43Mm-hmm.
33:44Okay.
33:44One of the other gentlemen that was with Sion was a kid named Kyron.
33:49Kyron is like my nephew.
33:50Like, me and his mom, we networked to keep these boys, you know, safe in line.
33:55The kid Sion, I don't really know too much about him.
33:58But I know that Kyron has started hanging with him.
34:00But I'm like, okay, I'm just keeping another kid safe, you know?
34:03And I let him stay just because he was Kyron.
34:06Okay.
34:08So Kyron basically came in here and said that he was at your house that morning with Sion.
34:13Did they show up at your house together?
34:15Yeah.
34:16Do you know what time they came to your house?
34:19It was midnight, I think.
34:20They came to your house at midnight?
34:21It was past midnight because I remember tossing them out.
34:25But I ain't gonna put them out because, you know, I want them to be safe.
34:30Can I call my daughter real quick?
34:31Absolutely.
34:32Yeah.
34:35Hello?
34:36I got you on speaker with the detectives.
34:38The aunt asks her daughter when Sion and Kyron arrived at the apartment.
34:43We was on the corner at 326.
34:46I hung up, and the next thing you know, they were talking at the door.
34:48The time she gives is 90 minutes after the 911 call came in.
34:55Okay.
34:56Tell her thank you.
34:56That's very helpful.
34:59Let me ask you this.
35:00Did they say anything when they got to the house about shooting something up?
35:07Anything?
35:09No?
35:11No?
35:14No?
35:17They left when we got the call.
35:20She says Sion and Kyron left the house after a Deviant's family called with word of his death.
35:27They're all friends.
35:31All of them.
35:32They played on a basketball team together and everything.
35:35This is sad.
35:36This is so sad.
35:38All right.
35:39I'll get you out of here, bro.
35:40Let me get real quick.
35:41Come out here that way.
35:43Come out here that way.
35:51All right.
35:54So basically, the reason you're up here is to determine when Sion and Kyron might have came
36:00to y'all's house.
36:01So you would have been awake when they got there?
36:03I wasn't at home.
36:06Where were you at?
36:07I was drinking down the street.
36:09When I got home, they was in my house.
36:12Okay.
36:13How long did they stay at the house when you got there?
36:17They stayed until I left the house to go to the Deviant house.
36:20Like 5 o'clock in the morning.
36:23And they left when you left?
36:24Yeah.
36:26Is there anything else you could think of that might help me out?
36:30I ain't gonna lie.
36:36I don't know what he told you guys.
36:38He didn't tell him nothing.
36:41From what I hear, they took him in the closet.
36:46I guess they told him what happened.
37:02I feel like he needed to be questioned some more.
37:04I wouldn't be right walking up out of here because I felt like maybe through him sitting there,
37:10maybe he was gonna have a change of heart.
37:28And it's so sad because at the end of the day, if you made a mistake, tuck your tail in
37:36and deal with your consequences.
37:38His mom, she even said to not go down there feeling like they got a line for Carmen.
37:45They killed their friend.
37:47Yeah.
37:49It was a sad deal all the way around.
37:51And I do appreciate you for being honest and telling me that.
37:54Let me bring one back up in here.
37:56Man, if you wanna hop back out, man.
38:03Sit down, Lohoma.
38:09Man, I get your price scared.
38:12I truly do.
38:13Man, I wish you weren't in this position.
38:16But Davion, he did not deserve what happened to him.
38:20Be straight up with me.
38:21We need to know what you know.
38:22And we need to know what they told you.
38:25It's very important.
38:36Was it just science saying this?
38:38Was it just Karen saying this?
38:39Or were they both saying they both shot the house up?
38:43Okay.
38:45They killed your friend.
38:46Came to your house.
38:48They laughed about killing your friend, your brother.
38:50And then they threw your name and your grandma's name and your brother's name down as an alibi to cover
38:55for them.
38:56For killing your brother.
38:59I know you don't wanna be here.
39:01But you did.
39:02You stepped up, man.
39:02I really appreciate that.
39:04If you hear anything, anything changes, let me know.
39:06Okay, I will.
39:07All right.
39:09Yes.
39:15Those are two quality interviews right there.
39:18Yeah.
39:18They stood up and manned up.
39:21Karen said, I was there all night.
39:22They're saying, no, he wasn't.
39:23He came late.
39:24And then he's like, yeah, they told us he shot up a house, shot through the window, gave details.
39:27And so, yeah, we're good.
39:30We have enough PC for the murder.
39:33With 14 hours left in the first 48, McNeil closes his case.
39:47We deal with these young juveniles from the ages of 12, 13, 14.
39:51It starts little.
39:53They might steal something from Walmart and then it cycles.
39:55This misguided ideology that we call street lifestyle.
39:59If my mentality and my focus is being a known street guy, well, they just kill somebody.
40:06It's notoriety for them.
40:07That's why they can giggle about killing their friend.
40:12People want change.
40:14That's one of the first things that has to change is that mindset towards embracing that street life.
40:45Make sure that we have all values sometimes, and the others can achieve that within the first 48 hours the
40:51likely address.
40:51doing a gathering run. All of
40:55the cops off behind the TV level. We'd
41:04Six months since Adavion's death.
41:07Today, we're going to have a balloon release.
41:11Got a lot of blue balloons.
41:13His favorite color is blue.
41:15He got his friends and just people that care about us.
41:20We're just celebrating him.
41:22He's not here physically, but his spirit is here.
41:25And I feel it every day.
41:27I try my best to lift my mom up and keep her up.
41:32I thank God for the 17 years that he did bless me with Adavion.
41:38Adavion was my happy child.
41:39He was my joyful baby.
41:43We're going to go down here, y'all, in this open area down here.
41:49We're going to do this in remembrance of Adavion's Boss A3 hearing.
41:57On the count of three.
42:00One, two, three.
42:15I just wish he could reach down and grab those balloons and I can see his hand.
42:25I miss him so much.
42:28I miss his smile.
42:31I miss his voice.
42:32I miss his voice.
42:35Things that I can never get back.
