06:54they get off the exit ramp 85 right there behind horizon
06:58it sits up here with its hazard lights on
07:02six minutes before the shooting the suspect's car stops on the side of the highway
07:09they both come down the embankment
07:15there's no cameras back there the one on the back side's down
07:22so there in the back

07:47and then they turn around and go back
07:58the guy in the bandana print hoodie pulls his gun fires two shots
08:03they take off
08:07it looks like he was targeted
08:11they come running back up
08:15you see him go back across the back of the car
08:17with his orange hoodie
08:21so we got some good clothing to look for
08:23if we can figure out where to go
08:25yeah
08:27so they have a camera that points basically at the roadway
08:31and that's him pulling through
08:35so that's the car right there
08:36that's the car
08:38it's gonna be a dark car
08:40definitely dark
08:42it's definitely a sedan
08:45and there's nothing
08:46there's no cameras up there that we can
08:49see which way that car goes
08:50that's right now
08:54some girl gave a room number
08:56and said you need to look at this guy
08:58Jahari
09:00the man in room 243
09:02whom the tipster said may be involved
09:04is 28 year old Jahari Foster
09:08there's no vehicles that look good
09:09that are associated
09:11and he also just checked out that morning
09:14but Jahari doesn't drive a dark colored sedan
09:17and he checked out of the hotel 12 hours
09:19before the shooting
09:23yeah
09:25right now
09:26I don't have any suspects
09:29I'm hoping that somebody will call
09:32and just give me some little kind of detail
09:34in order for me to run with
09:35to figure out who these guys are
09:47later that morning
09:48a guest from the hotel comes forward
09:53with information about Andre's murder
09:56your tenant just told me that you have some information
09:59they killed my friend last week
10:02I'm sorry to hear that
10:05what was your friend's name?
10:07Dr. Jones
10:08he went by another name though right?
10:29she says Andre came into possession of a stolen gun
10:32and was planning to return it to the owner
10:34but he stole that gun
10:37while Ted was asleep
10:40and he sold it
10:41before Ted was even back to Duke
10:44that's why the shooting happened
11:04okay so he had the gun initially
11:33she says the owner of the gun
11:35mistakenly thought Andre had stolen it
11:38they're saying that the dude
11:41whose gun it is
11:42might be staying in that room
11:46243
11:46which is cleared out
11:48she doesn't know the gun owner's name
11:50but gives the room number
11:51that was registered to Jahari Foster
11:55did you see the shooting itself?
11:57no
11:57okay
11:58you were in the shots
11:59with that room
12:00and I came out
12:02okay
12:10so the rumor mill is that
12:12all of this is over a stolen gun
12:15she said that Andre wasn't the one
12:16that stole it
12:17but somehow the gun's owner
12:18believed that Andre was the one
12:19that stole it
12:21she also provided the same room number
12:23as the other tipster
12:25that Jahari Foster was staying in
12:28but we need more than just rumors
12:29to put him at the scene
12:38later that afternoon
12:39how are you?
12:42so yesterday when we came in
12:43we started looking back
12:45through some of the video
12:47from the other camera views
12:48after combing through more
12:50of the hotel's surveillance video
12:52the crime prevention unit
12:53has a lead
12:55Ricketts pulled footage
12:56from earlier in the day
12:57and actually located
12:58the guy in the orange hoodie
13:00so once we found him
13:02we explored a lot more
13:04of the video
13:04and we actually identified them
13:06parking at the rooms to go
13:08walking over to the horizon
13:11earlier in the day
13:11kind of scoping things out
13:14five hours before the homicide
13:16three men appear to be casing
13:18the hotel
13:20the subject with the orange hoodie
13:21actually obtains it from a female
13:23on the second floor
13:24as he's walking in
13:26you see the female
13:27with the orange hoodie
13:28just walking down the hall
13:30he literally just walks up the stairs
13:32she's already walking
13:33down the hallway with it
13:34it's just a pass off
13:35and she walks one direction
13:37he walks the other
13:59he walks this way
14:02and then they kind of stop
14:03then they were talking to each other
14:05it looks like Jahari
14:07Price believes the suspect
14:09with the orange hoodie
14:10is the man who rented room 243
14:12Jahari Foster
14:15the two other subjects
14:16that he was with
14:16come around the back side
14:18of the building
14:20they've already got
14:21their hoodies up
14:23the second guy actually
14:24like pulls his drawstring
14:26tight to conceal his face
14:34they go up
14:35they're up there
14:35a very short time
14:36they kind of walk around
14:37and then they come back down
14:42so this is the subject
14:43in the gray hoodie
14:45he's going to be the actual shooter
14:47because he's wearing the same
14:48handkerchief looking hoodie
14:49during the homicide
14:57he meets up with the other two
15:01once they are leaving
15:04they walk right back to the car
15:06that they came from
15:09and then a few seconds later
15:11you'll see the black passenger car
15:13in the rooms to go parking lot
15:15come around the left side of the building
15:19we ended up identifying the vehicle
15:21as a Ford 500 passenger car
15:27this is the Ford 500
15:29leaving rooms to go
15:34once we had this video
15:35we pulled the flock kits
15:36and Moon was able to identify the tag
15:40the car is registered
15:41to 35-year-old Tyrus Lane
15:44from DeKalb County
15:45he's got a very long
15:47and interesting room
15:50Tyrus has several prior convictions
15:52including armed robbery
15:53and aggravated assault
15:56the way it looked
15:57in one of the views
15:58from the night of the inset
16:00it almost looks like
16:00there's brake lights on
16:01before they get up to the car
16:03it almost looks like
16:05there was somebody
16:05still in the car
16:07officers believe Tyrus
16:09could be the getaway driver
16:12the car seems like
16:13it doesn't come here very often
16:14it seems like it tends to stay down
16:16in style like Dunwoody
16:17and Dora Valeria
16:19Chambly
16:23right there at the Motel 6
16:27there it goes
16:29after the homicide
16:30the suspect vehicle
16:31was captured by traffic cameras
16:33at a motel in Chambly
16:34about 20 miles west of Gwinnett
16:36that's all we did?
16:38that was pretty good
16:39I appreciate you guys
16:40meeting with us
16:41I really do appreciate
16:42the right work
16:43thank you
16:44thank you
16:51look right here
16:53that's got to be the same one
16:55the team takes a closer look
16:56at the hotel surveillance video
16:58from around the time
16:59of the murder
17:00she's wearing the same
17:03that's the same
17:04it's the same female
17:05yeah
17:06when they first come
17:07she hands the suspect
17:09which looks like Jahari
17:10the orange sweatshirt
17:16and then during the homicide
17:19she's standing there
17:20on her phone
17:23it's like she's looking
17:24and waiting
17:26I wonder if she called
17:27and said hey
17:28he's here out front
17:29hey they're here
17:30she's the lookout
17:31yep
17:33she's involved
17:35she already knew
17:36what was going to happen
17:37I don't see how
17:38she's not a participant
17:40if she wasn't a part of it
17:41she should be able
17:42to tell me who was
17:43we've got to figure out
17:44who she is
17:5419 hours in
17:55thank you
17:57Price returns to the hotel
17:59to ask the staff
18:00if they recognize the female
18:02in the surveillance video
18:04they do know her
18:05she's been here
18:06they said for like
18:07the last three or four days
18:08but they don't really know
18:09her name or anything
18:11but he did take my card
18:12and he says if I find her
18:13and I can get a name
18:14I'll text you
18:17so at this point
18:18I believe that the person
18:19in the orange hoodie
18:20is Jahari Foster
18:21however I need somebody
18:23to ID him
18:24and tell us
18:25who the other two
18:26suspects are
18:28I've got the reasonable
18:29suspicion part
18:30it's just not going to
18:31hold up that far in court
18:32so I need just a little bit more
18:46the next day
18:47we're about to go ahead
18:49Chambly
18:49for video footage
18:50see if we got a clear picture
18:52of their faces
18:53the team heads to the motel
18:55where the suspect vehicle
18:56was captured on traffic cameras
18:58after the homicide
19:01ready
19:06they asked the motel manager
19:08to pull up video
19:09from that night
19:16got them
19:17they are there
19:21look at them
19:22showing up
19:23immediately after the homicide
19:25boom
19:40they show up
19:41there's three of them
19:42two of them come out
19:48my man still has the orange hoodie
19:5115 minutes after the murder
19:53two of the three suspects
19:55are seen getting out
19:56of the suspect vehicle
19:57at the motel in Chambly
19:59in the driver's seat
20:01that's probably
20:02more than likely
20:03the register
20:06that's good stuff
20:09you see them
20:10hanging out in the corner
20:11and talking for
20:13a couple minutes
20:13smoking a cigarette
20:15but you don't see
20:16what room they go in
20:18the suspects disappear
20:19into one of two rooms
20:20off camera
20:22so this is the room roster
20:24for everyone
20:25who's rented the room
20:26here at the studio 6
20:28on the night of the murder
20:29both rooms out of camera view
20:31were rented by women
20:33price can look at this
20:35we're in business
20:42according to Swazza
20:43they go into room
20:44like 214 or 215
20:45both registered to females
20:47so I gotta see
20:48who they're connected with
20:50price researched
20:51the women in the two rooms
20:52but has been unable
20:53to find a link
20:54to the suspects
20:56I have to think
20:57that's Jahari there
20:59the driver I think
21:00is gonna be
21:01registered owner
21:02still trying to figure
21:03out who this guy is
21:04but those are the same
21:05exact shorts
21:06and same pumas
21:07as a shooter
21:09I think he's got
21:09the actual hoodie
21:11balled up in his arm
21:12right now
21:14so I've known
21:15two out of three

21:54but the rumor is
21:56is that it was

32:10I'm good
32:11we gotta find the female
32:12too
32:14yeah yeah
32:2311 days later
32:26so the female
32:28minor that we were
32:29looking for
32:29got picked up
32:30the teenage runaway
32:32seen on video
32:32handing Jahari
32:33the orange hoodie
32:34was tracked down
32:35and interviewed
32:36by the special
32:37victims unit
32:38they did a forensic
32:39interview with her
32:40she ends up talking
32:42about the shooting
32:43in detail
32:44at first she says
32:45that um
32:46Jahari believed
32:48that it was
32:48his ex-girlfriend
32:49that stole his gun
32:51and he heard later
32:52then that it was a male
32:54and then she was
32:55supposed to run around
32:56and try to figure out
32:58who the male was
32:58but he supposedly
33:00figured it out first
33:01she knew Jahari
33:02was looking to fight
33:03but after the shooting
33:05she then realized
33:06it wasn't to fight
33:07it was to actually
33:08shoot him
33:09because she flat out
33:11asks said
33:12what's his plan
33:12and he eventually
33:13confesses that
33:14it was planned
33:16and then she talks
33:17about how afterwards
33:18at the hotel
33:20she's with Jahari
33:21and Bush
33:22and um
33:23Bush starts talking
33:24about his body count
33:25and how he just
33:27killed somebody
33:27but the minor
33:29couldn't call
33:30police at all
33:31about anything
33:32because she was
33:33on the run herself
33:33being a runaway
33:36the young female
33:37will not be charged
33:38and has been released
33:41unfortunately
33:41she didn't mention
33:42anything about
33:43a driver
33:44in her interview
33:45so at this point
33:46we're still trying
33:47to figure out
33:48how to tie Tyrus
33:49to the murder
33:50and we're still trying
33:51to locate his car
34:02a month later
34:04so we're headed
34:05down to Clayton County
34:07Tyrus has a meeting
34:09right now
34:09with his probation officer
34:11so we're headed
34:12down there
34:12to hopefully
34:13intercept him
34:15the team
34:15plans to confront Tyrus
34:17after he meets
34:18with his probation officer
34:19I have plenty
34:20to take his car
34:21I just can't say
34:22that he's the one
34:23that was driving it
34:25but if we go down here

34:27I'm the only person
34:28to ever drive my car
34:29nobody drives my car
34:30that kind of stuff

37:46thank you
37:51I'm still convinced
37:52it's him
37:53yeah the story
37:54still doesn't make sense
37:55it doesn't make sense
37:57it just sucks
37:57it's like
37:58you know it's him
37:59but you just don't
38:00have enough
38:01the last thing you have
38:02is gonna be his phone
38:03I know
38:18one week later
38:20I did a search
38:21more on the car
38:21there was nothing
38:22remarkable in the car
38:26this here is
38:28Tyrus Lane's phone
38:32it seems like
38:33on the 17th
38:35through the 18th
38:36he deleted
38:37all his stuff
38:40but if you go
38:41into Google
38:43the day of the homicide
38:4510.30
38:46he's searching
38:46for Studio 6
38:47which is where
38:48I believe
38:49Demetrius and Jahari
38:50were picked up from
38:53about an hour
38:54before the 911 call
38:56Tyrus searched
38:57for directions
38:58to the motel
38:58in Shambly
38:59where Demetrius
39:00was staying
39:01with his relative
39:03then at 11.40
39:05he puts the Studio 6
39:06back into his maps
39:08seven minutes
39:09before the shooting
39:09while his car
39:10was parked
39:11on the exit ramp
39:12near the crime scene
39:13Tyrus searched
39:14for directions
39:15back to the same motel
39:18then just like
39:19an hour or so
39:19after the homicide
39:20he's searching
39:21Google Help
39:22to delete his browser
39:24history
39:24in both his
39:26search browser
39:27and maps
39:28yeah so it's hard
39:29to say that he
39:30wasn't involved
39:33I have asked
39:34for indictment
39:35on this
39:35by the DA's office
39:37Price will wait
39:38for the district
39:39attorney to decide
39:40if there's enough
39:41evidence to charge
39:42Tyrus Lane
39:42with the murder
39:43of Andre Jones
39:45I feel good
39:46about it now
39:47I think it's a pretty
39:48solid case
39:49against those three
39:53obviously Andre
39:54didn't deserve to die
39:56I think he was just
39:57an unfortunate target
39:59of bad rumors
40:00of bad rumors
40:01from a
40:02of bad rumors
40:34One month after Andre was killed, his family and friends gather to celebrate his life on
40:44his mother's birthday.
40:51When he was little, he looked just like you.
40:57I thank everybody for being here, and I appreciate y'all celebrating my birthday with me and Dre.
41:05I know everybody here is still hurting, I know we're all grieving, and maybe this will
41:11finally give us that closure we need to continue our grieving process.
41:16For me, it's a little different, I'm probably gonna grieve for quite some time, it's a child,
41:21it's my child.
41:23That's a hard pill to swallow, to know that his life was cut short, and especially by
41:29gun violence.
41:31So I'm hoping that many of you, or all of you, will help me take up that mantle in helping
41:37with reform for gun violence, so that we can help with some change, especially in our communities.
41:46I'm trying not to have hate and vengeance, I'm trying.
41:48But I can't believe someone stole his life like that.
41:52There are days when I just can't breathe.
41:54And I literally break down.
41:58Someone told me that our children are not ours.
42:00God gave them to us forever long, and he's called him back home.
42:06So if I look at it like that, then I look at it like my son was here for a
42:10purpose.
42:11I think his death, and the way he died, was what he wanted me to do, pick up that mantle
42:17and make change, help with reform, so maybe that's my purpose now, and he gave it to me.
42:25It's senseless.
42:26Gun violence is senseless.
42:28Come on.
42:29Let's do better.
42:30It's time, because this is ridiculous.
42:32I think it's time for you to enjoy the videos.
42:42You
42:42You
42:43You
42:44You
42:45You
