TVTranscript
00:01This program documents actual homicide investigations.
00:05Criminal charges are often dropped or reduced,
00:07and all suspects shown are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
00:15There's damage to the back of the vehicle.
00:17What do y'all think? That car hit him or something?
00:20A brutal chain reaction is set off.
00:22Most times in front of the truck,
00:24and I just seen that dude get out.
00:26I seen him hold the gun up.
00:28When the worlds of two strangers collide.
00:31Wow.
00:33They just unload into the car.
00:35And he drives away.
00:38But first...
00:39Blood trail goes all the way down to where those taillights are.
00:42Tulsa detectives search for answers in a community.
00:45Who are all these people?
00:47Hospital witnesses.
00:49Where one person's words...
00:50He asked me if I saw who had the phone.
00:52He was having a tough day.
00:54...have deadly consequences.
00:55He stabbed that guy.
00:57If he turned around, he won't go.
01:08For homicide detectives,
01:10their chance of solving a murder is cut in half
01:13if they don't get a lead within the first 48 hours.
01:31Downtown Tulsa.
01:33A group of friends walking under a freeway overpass see a man lying off the sidewalk,
01:39covered in blood,
01:41covered in blood,
01:42and call 9-1-1.
01:48Paramedics arrive,
01:50and find the man...
01:52dead.
02:07Jason, how are you, sir?
02:09I'm all right.
02:09What do we have?
02:11We don't have an idea on the victim yet.
02:13We've been in the late 60s.
02:16These young ladies over here, these juveniles,
02:19were the ones that walked up and found them that they didn't see anything.
02:22Looks like there's going to be a stabbing on the other side.
02:25Yeah.
02:26The victim has a single stab wound to his right forearm.
02:29He probably just slowed blood out.
02:31Blood trail goes all the way down to where those taillights are in the police car
02:37and then jots up right under the underpass right there.
02:42It looked like the knife hit an armory.
02:44Did they find any bloody knives?
02:46No, they didn't.
02:50We've got a blood trail,
02:51and those are all 90-degree blood droplets,
02:55so likely they're probably going to be one person
02:58because they're basically in that line.
03:02The blood trail leads to a homeless encampment 1,000 feet away.
03:07Sometimes you can have dozens of people that are down here in this area.
03:10They're very transient.
03:11They may be in this city today.
03:13They may be in another city next month.
03:16We've had a couple of other homicides over here.
03:20John Brown had a murder up here probably, I don't know, about a year ago.
03:38The crime scene unit found the victim's ID in a bag on the trail.
03:43It's Eddie Gilcrease.
03:46Eddie stays in the second bunk end right there.
03:52And that comes from here.
03:5763-year-old Eddie Gilcrease had been living in the encampment for a few months.
04:08Who are all these people?
04:10Hospital witnesses.
04:12Okay.
04:13Patrol has gathered the residents of the camp that were on the scene.
04:17You guys doing all right, all things considered?
04:19Yes, sir.
04:22I need to get these people downtown.
04:26Good.
04:27All right, ladies and gentlemen, I'm a super nice police officer,
04:30and I'm going to talk to each one of you downtown.
04:32I'll give you something nice to drink.
04:34I'll get you out of there as quick as possible.
04:41Much appreciated.
04:47Seems like these individuals, they're at least willing to cooperate.
04:51Everybody that works in our unit has been working the streets for a long, long time.
04:55Our heart breaks for these individuals that are out here,
04:57because they get victimized just like anybody else.
05:00Actually, more so than anybody else.
05:03There are a lot of crimes where they don't even call us,
05:06because they don't feel like there's any point to it.
05:16Just have a seat right there for me.
05:18Did you need a drink?
05:20Water?
05:21Okay, I'll get you water.
05:22Just sit tight.
05:23Oh, good.
05:28I have a method to this.
05:30You got to get them comfortable, and then we'll start talking.
05:35You got to build that rapport with them a little bit
05:37before they just jump to the trees.
05:40And we've dealt with them down there before,
05:42and they realize that we're pretty nice,
05:44and, you know, we're not out to give them a hard time.
05:51All right, bud.
05:52Yes, sir.
05:56My name's Jason White.
05:59I'd say there's a lot of crazy people around the whole side.
06:02There's good people that live here,
06:04but there are some people that act like knuckleheads.
06:08So, anyway, start off with tonight and tell me what happened.
06:11Okay, uh, I was sitting down there inside the spot
06:16because it was just really freaking hot.
06:18And then that damn, uh, sleepy guy,
06:23he, uh, he's all chasing after that black dude.
06:28He says this afternoon he saw a man known in the camp as Sleepy
06:32chasing the victim.
06:34Okay, so he's, like, chasing after the black guy?
06:36Yeah.
06:37Okay.
06:43Okay.
06:50What did he do when he got there to him?
06:56Did the black guy do anything to provoke this?
07:00No.
07:01When he stabbed that dude, it was right before dark.
07:05You just said, when he stabbed that dude,
07:09did it look like he'd stabbed the guy?
07:12Uh, I'm sorry.
07:14It could be good.
07:15You know, take it off, you slice it straight out from the blood
07:17and from what I saw.
07:20He stabbed that guy and turned around and walked off.
07:23That's what the is.
07:25Did you see him with a knife?
07:28No one, no one did know it.
07:32Within the next 10, 20 minutes, I'm gonna say,
07:37it's just a rough estimate.
07:39He walks back over there.
07:40That's when I asked him if everything's all right.
07:42Mm-hmm.
07:45And he said, I stabbed that dude, that dude.
07:58700 miles away in Mobile, Alabama.
08:04I'm gonna go find a rescue.
08:05What's the location of the emergency?
08:07There's a road.
08:08Right here, somebody shot in the truck.
08:11Do you see any people in the truck?
08:13I don't know.
08:14They got to change the one.
08:15You can't see up outside here.
08:17You see the gunshot holes in the truck.
08:19In the truck, not moving.
08:20But it's just one person in there on the street?
08:22I don't know.
08:23I don't want more to the truck.
08:25I got you.
08:26All right, help is on the way.
08:30First responders arrive in an apartment complex
08:32and find a man in the driver's seat of the truck.
08:35Shot multiple times.
08:37He's rushed to a nearby hospital.
08:40But doctors can't save him.
09:01All right.
09:02What you got?
09:04That's the victim.
09:06Martin Hands.
09:0963-year-old Martin Hands was born in Shirebrook, England,
09:12but moved to the U.S. at an early age.
09:15He served three years in the U.S. Army
09:17before taking a job in aviation
09:20and rode motorcycles in his spare time.
09:23Martin leaves behind his wife of 26 years,
09:26three children,
09:28and five grandchildren.
09:33Man, we got here.
09:34That door was shut.
09:36Yeah, but the window was there.
09:37Yeah.
09:38It's huge thing at the door.
09:40Oh, is there a hole through the door?
09:42Motorstress on the door.
09:47Martin was shot eight times
09:49in the arm, chest, and back.
09:52That's on the passenger side.
09:53The team finds 13 7.62 rifle casings.
10:03The amount of times that he fired that weapon at the victim
10:07was more than excessive.
10:10There's no weapon or anything in the car?
10:12No.
10:13There's damage to the back of the vehicle.
10:18So, this guy...
10:21Responding officers located a witness to the shooting,
10:23who was in the complex.
10:25Hopefully, I have some good information.
10:39I'm Detective Barton.
10:40So, what did you see here?
10:42Oh, down here in these back apartments in my truck.
10:45Just facing out, up towards the front.
10:48Like, I see the truck pulled in already.
10:50So, you saw the truck where it is right now?
10:52Yeah.
10:53Mustang in front of the truck.
10:54Red Mustang.
10:56I seen him hold the gun.
10:57The driver of the Mustang approached the truck with the gun.
11:01That's the whole .
11:03I started hearing him shoot.
11:07How many shots do you think you heard?
11:10Um...
11:10Six to eight shots.
11:13Could you see what he was holding?
11:16Yeah, it was a long barrel.
11:18Guess a big AR.
11:21Describe.
11:21White male, black male?
11:22White male, dreads.
11:23About 5'5".
11:25You can see his dreads clear as they...
11:27I heard him say, he got me up.
11:30And we're coming back in the car.
11:46All right, thanks, bro.
11:53There's damage to the back of the vehicle.
11:56Y'all think that, that car hit him or something?
11:59And probably left the scene if he was following him?
12:01That's right.
12:03Maybe.
12:06What about the video?
12:07The office manager, she said,
12:09ADT is supposed to be on their way here
12:10to try to come get past the pass case.
12:13The manager of the complex
12:14will download their surveillance video
12:16and send it to detectives.
12:19All right, I think we got a pretty good woman here.
12:23Then...
12:27Eight miles away...
12:29Hello, my bell, please.
12:31Yes, ma'am.
12:32Oh, I need the police.
12:33A woman calls 911,
12:35concerned about a family member.
12:37I want to just follow him and threaten him.
12:42And...
12:42he shot him.
12:53In the Tulsa killing of 63-year-old Eddie Gilcrease,
12:57stabbed near an encampment beneath an overpass,
13:00Detective Jason White interviews a resident of the camp
13:03who says he knows the killer.
13:13He said that he stabbed that black dick.
13:16He did, he did.
13:18That's the guy I know it's true.
13:19Didn't mean he told me that .
13:23Was he upset about it?
13:24No, he...
13:27He was just calm, cool, and collected about it.
13:31That's...
13:34Have you seen this individual with any kind of weapons?
13:37Sleepy?
13:39No.
13:40No?
13:41Well, describe him for me from head to toe.
13:44I would say he's Mexican.
13:47What's his hairstyle like?
13:52Shaggy, black, top part up here.
13:57Probably not like that long.
13:59And it just...
14:00It just kind of like a ball going back.
14:04How old would you estimate his age?
14:06Probably around 32.
14:10Sit tight.
14:21I just found this.
14:23Corporal Nathan Schilling finds someone with the nickname Sleepy,
14:27matching the description of the suspect.
14:29Oh, good.
14:30Let me rent some finance.
14:41Let's first get him ID'd is the guy that did it, if he did it.
14:49Would you recognize him if I showed you a picture?
14:52Yes, I would.
14:56That's him?
14:58That is him.
15:00Perfect.
15:02All right, well, sit tight for a quick second.
15:04I think I'm pretty much done with you.
15:06Close, sir.
15:20Let's see here.
15:23This is gonna be our suspect right here.
15:2635-year-old Jack Bossen has previous convictions for assault and battery upon a police officer.
15:33Burglary in the first degree and grand larceny.
15:37As far as where he's from, I really don't know.
15:40He looks like he's probably new to our area.
15:44He's probably scared right now.
15:47Hiding.
15:50Patrol will search the area for Jack.
15:52I gotta talk to her right quick.
15:54While detectives interview the other witnesses.
16:00Very kind to be as patient as you have been.
16:03How long have you been living down there?
16:07Years?
16:08No, no.
16:10I've only been homeless since last July.
16:12Okay.
16:14Tell me what you know about all this stuff that happened tonight.
16:22I didn't know that, you know, there was a little bit of a commotion, but I wasn't real sure about
16:27it.
16:28What was the commotion over? Do you know?
16:30He couldn't find his phone. That's all I know.
16:32And when you say he, are you mean?
16:36Sleepy.
16:36Okay.
16:43That's Sleepy?
16:45Yeah.
16:46Okay.
16:47Do you know his real name?
16:50Did you hear anything that happened?
16:54You said a knife came out?
17:01Yeah.
17:02And who was holding the knife?
17:06Uh...
17:06Well, Sleepy was.
17:10What was he doing with the knife out?
17:13He was having a tough day.
17:16I think sometimes when people get paranoid and...
17:20Well, it's hard to be homeless.
17:22I know. There's no doubt it is.
17:25And it was over a phone.
17:27Yeah. So, I mean, he asked me if I saw who had the phone.
17:31Did you tell him you thought might have had it?
17:35Uh, the guy that he was tussling with.
17:54He was upset about a phone.
17:56And you thought that maybe that this guy had had it.
17:59Uh, well, I mean, I just kind of got the sense that he...
18:02I mean, that he...
18:04Do you know his name?
18:06I don't know.
18:07Okay.
18:15What did the phone look like?
18:17A small one?
18:19Yeah.
18:23Well, you seem like a nice lady.
18:27It's difficult being homeless, I know.
18:30So, hopefully you can get on your feet and you can get out of that situation.
18:35Hi.
18:48It's scary for them to look up underneath there.
18:50And we've had a homicide up there before, not long ago.
18:53They're worried because you never know who might be a predator to them.
18:56We've had a number of murders that have involved the homeless population.
19:00And I can tell you that people have been killed for very, very small things.
19:06For a lot of these individuals, when they live on the streets, their personal belongings, that's all they have.
19:11A phone or an item of property is priceless to them.
19:16You may be dealing also with individuals that suffer from some sort of a mental illness on top of it.
19:26Okay, sir.
19:28Detective John Brown interviews another witness from the encampment.
19:32What can you tell me about tonight?
19:34There was an argument that went on about his phone being stolen.
19:39The guy called him by a nickname.
19:42He had been told that the black gentleman stole his phone.
19:46Yeah.
19:47My friend, the black gentleman, his name's Eddie.
19:51They were there and the argument started.
19:54And he says, hey, where's my phone?
19:56My friend Eddie tells him, I don't have your, I don't know where your phone is.
20:03But the girl says that she saw my friend Eddie.
20:10Pinky is blown up or inflamed by my cooler.
20:14I don't know Eddie that way, sir.
20:16They started arguing.
20:19I don't know, I don't know weapons, but all I saw them do, start like they were gonna fist fight.
20:25Because they both squared up.
20:27The next thing I know, they just burst.
20:31And I see my friend run.
20:33Did neither one of them come back?
20:35No, sir.
20:36Disappeared.
20:37Okay.
20:38So you think they fought, but you didn't see any blood.
20:41You see them like they're buried by his.
20:45Have you heard what happened to Eddie?
20:46No, sir. Not at all.
20:47I'll just see him go.
20:51Eddie's dead.
20:54No, sir.
20:56No.
20:57He died.
20:59No.
21:00No, sir.
21:02Sorry about the loss of your friend, man.
21:05He killed him, sir.
21:06And I'm not no snitch.
21:08That boy killed him.
21:09I believe you.
21:10I believe you're dead.
21:13I believe you're dead.
21:22What the hell do you have?
21:23Hang on for just a second, man.
21:24We'll get you out of here, okay?
21:43while detectives interview the remaining witnesses

33:13uh i'm gonna go back
33:14here i'm gonna try to
33:15figure out what we're
33:15gonna do with you
33:17but i do appreciate
33:18your cooperation
33:19pull your shoes off
33:21pull your shoe in here
33:27i believe that he's
33:28being truthful
33:29about a good
33:32many details
33:33to this incident
33:35i don't think
33:36i think that the victim
33:37uh was the aggressor
33:39in any way
33:41i i don't have any witnesses
33:43that claim that he was
33:44pulling a knife on him
33:46there was none of that
33:47i don't think the suspect
33:49meant to kill him
33:50i don't think if he wanted to kill him
33:52he could have stabbed him in the chest
33:54in the neck
33:56it's still a problem
33:59six hours after eddie gilcrease was found dead
34:02white closes his case
34:21i will say this
34:23i was very very impressed
34:24with the people that were there
34:26and their their willingness
34:28to come forward
34:29those individuals that live under there
34:31they can be victimized
34:33any moment
34:38they were really upset
34:39by what had happened
34:40and they felt that the the victim
34:42did not deserve this
34:44but i am glad we got the knife
34:46i'm glad he's off the streets
34:55as it stands right now
34:57we can't locate anybody
34:59to be able to
35:01pass along the information
35:02that mr gilcrease
35:03is has died
35:05i've been able to track him back
35:07to basically arizona
35:08and that's where i hit a brick wall
35:11a lot of homeless people out here
35:12are certainly estranged
35:14from their families
35:16and i think a lot of these individuals opt to not go at the shelter
35:19i think that they just become hardened
35:22they become very very tough people
35:26and and they have to because their survival depends upon it
35:31it's just sad
35:32it really is
35:34i don't know what the answer is
35:35you got encampments everywhere
35:37and we just can't do that
35:40there's got to be some better way
35:57in the mobile killing of martin hands
35:59detectives are trying to find out why the suspect
36:02xavier dixian
36:03opened fire on the victim
36:14the man inside the truck
36:16what was he doing
36:16when y'all first pulled up to the complex
36:21when i walked to the side of the car
36:23when i
36:25asked like what are you doing
36:28what is he saying
36:29nothing
36:30he started moving flying
36:35i started shooting when he did like that
36:42so you could see through the window and see him
36:44yeah like
36:45maybe like the elbow
36:46is what a window went down to
36:50did you ever see a weapon
36:52in this vehicle
37:05all we're asking you to do is be truthful and honest
37:49would you be willing to give us consent
37:52to look in your car and get that weapon
37:58that was it
37:59okay
38:01all right
38:02all right
38:07and then he starts following him
38:09he literally just gave his entire life away
38:11i don't know
38:12oh what's up
38:13i wish
38:15that's exactly what it is
38:26i'm gonna call the da
38:30the suspect is a xavier dixon
38:34he said he was alone when he did the shooting
38:38yeah that's good
38:39yep
38:41hi
38:44we're gonna go ahead and uh charge xavier dixon with the murder
38:50the person that provided the gun that gave the gun to xavier
38:53he's not being charged in this situation
38:56doesn't appear that any laws were broken by him
38:59giving xavier a gun
39:02the suspect xavier made a phone call to somebody that he cared about saying man this person's
39:08following me
39:08this kid's already had a plan
39:12pulls into the apartment complex is handed a rifle
39:16walks up to the truck and shoots into the truck
39:19never saw a gun
39:21saw the guy maybe moving
39:22but you can't just then turn the gun on a guy in a truck
39:28because he was following you
39:30he's not justified in what he did to martin
39:33he's gonna be held accountable for it
39:36you will walk him out
39:37straight to the car right
39:40just four hours after martin hans was killed in his truck
39:44xavier dixon is charged with his murder
40:09something had to have happened that caused the victim to follow xavier to the apartment complex
40:16was this a situation where you know there was some type of traffic accident
40:20or was this some type of road rage incident where they had words with each other somehow
40:26there's a number of things he could have done
40:29instead of walking up to the man's vehicle
40:31could have called 9-1-1 which is what he should have done
40:35it's a tragic situation all the way around
40:39i think this is a situation where xavier's emotions got the best of him
40:44xavier took things way too far
40:46it's one thing to be upset about an incident
40:49but he took matters into his own hands
40:52introduced a gun in this situation
40:54and shot and killed somebody
41:13i think i cried most of the way here
41:18four months after the killing of martin hans
41:21his friends and family gather to celebrate his life
41:24you see our shirts that we had made
41:28this was martin's favorite thing to do
41:30is the ride with his friends down
41:32i'm gonna start crying down the mississippi
41:38he liked the freedom
41:40the you know going down these back roads
41:43smelling the trees the lakes
41:45and enjoying life you know
41:49his bike is the orange carly and mine was the blue
41:53our plan was to retire in phoenix and we were going to take a lot of trips
41:58and do small rides all over the world
42:03you would never think it would happen but within a blink of an eye
42:07we lost one of the greatest mans on earth
42:10he was the most kind-hearted person you could ever meet
42:13he would just genuinely help you out if you need it
42:16if you needed five dollars he'd give you 20
42:18he just he's had a kind soul
42:22he was going to turn 64 for someone to take his life
42:30i just don't understand
42:31he took away somebody very special
