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.
00:20Just before midnight in the Norcross neighborhood.
00:26When accounting, I have a wrong application of your emergency.
00:30I'm at the Horizon Hotel off of Dawson,
00:33and there's a gunshot.
00:35Somebody's shooting me.
00:36Somebody's screaming outside that he just got shot.
00:39Clinic County 911.
00:41Junk fired, cool bang, short fired.
00:43He's on the floor. He's dying.
00:46He's getting there. He's getting there.
00:48Is he still breathing?
00:50He's dying. Go police!
00:57Go!
00:58Go!
00:58Go!
00:59Go!
00:59Go!
00:59Get some police out of here!
01:02Yeah!
01:03Everybody move out!
01:05Go!
01:071.05.
01:08I've got a male with a gunshot wound to the upper chest.
01:12They're gonna update the med unit.
01:13He's going unresponsive.
01:17He's got multiples like two to the chest, barely breathing.
01:20Fight, б!
01:21Fight!
01:23EMS rushes the victim to the hospital.
01:26Table 48.
01:28But he doesn't survive.
01:38For homicide detectives, their chance of solving a murder is cut in half if they don't get a lead within
01:45the first 48 hours.
02:01What's up?
02:03Bryson's on the way. She's the lead.
02:05Okay, I'll show you back here.
02:10Basically everything happened right here.
02:14That's where he was laying. Right there.
02:19We have the guy identified.
02:23The victim, 29-year-old Andre Jones, worked as a logistics specialist for a freight company.
02:30He had been staying at the hotel where he was killed, but was in the process of moving out to
02:35live with his mother.
02:37Andre had eight siblings and was the proud father of three young boys.
02:46Through and through.
02:48Andre was shot twice in the chest.
02:52There's a couple small casings right here.
02:55The casings are both nine millimeter.
03:00The camera's filming down this way.
03:04We can upload the video.
03:06Yeah.
03:07I got a good witness to talk to.
03:09As far as the other witnesses, good luck.
03:11Yeah.
03:12Because there was about 30 of them out here.
03:14Yeah.
03:14And nobody saw anything.
03:15Okay.
03:16So I think he's the most important one right now.
03:19I'll go do that now.
03:23What's up?
03:24I'm detected early.
03:25Can we go talk over there?
03:26I just want to hear what happened from your standpoint.
03:37He knows the victim Andre as Tez.
03:41So I came down.
03:42He wanted me to go to the store for him.
03:45I said, yeah, I've been in the store for him.
03:47When he started walking, it was just a direction.
03:51After I'm walking, I look up.
03:53I see two guys with a hidden gun.
03:55And they jumped off the door right now.
03:58You know, I had a service in front of me.
04:00And I can't remember.
04:01The other one was coming off the car.
04:04They had a mask.
04:05They both had masks on?
04:06Both of them.
04:07That's all he knew because when he seen him jump down,
04:10he dashed towards me.
04:12They basically just like did like this when he walked past us.
04:16Was he mad at them or anything?
04:17Or was he just saying, hey, you know, like...
04:19He was like, what's up, yo?
04:21So me and him walking behind them.
04:24They jumped and went that way.
04:26And by the time we got in, we turned, they coming back.
04:30So when they cast us, I took on one because I'm thinking two behind me.
04:35Yeah.
04:35So then I jumped around.
04:36He's going back this way.
04:37And again.
04:39So I said, hey, what's up?
04:40He's like, he's jumping around.
04:42Kind of speedy up towards me.
04:44Then the dog said, just go to the office and give me a soda.
04:47I said, I got you.
04:48Got the dog from him.
04:49See him, I'll turn around.
04:50Ah, ah.
04:52He was shot.
04:54I didn't see this way they took off or anything.
04:58The second guy was still there.
05:01The darker hoodie?
05:02Yeah.
05:03He was the shooter.
05:05I could see him going that way, but I was just focusing too.
05:08He was still going down, going down.
05:11Yeah.
05:13Did he call them by any kind of nickname or anything?
05:16Oh, he's a .
05:19All right, man.
05:20Appreciate you hanging around.
05:28Hey.
05:29Hey.
05:30Lead detective Julie Price arrives on scene.
05:33Someone came up to York about somebody to look into.
05:38I was like, would you at least talk to one of my people now?
05:41And she's like, no.
05:42I don't want my name involved.
05:44While Sergeant Dallas York was canvassing the hotel, a guest said the man staying in room
05:50243 may be involved.
05:53Got to check it out.
05:54But according to the manager, the man in that room checked out this morning.
06:00I think we're going to have to regroup and put all the video and everything together.
06:05Yeah.
06:05I don't know what else we're going to be able to do up here.
06:10The manager gave York the names of all the hotel guests for that day.
06:17This hotel shares their cameras with Gwinnett Police Department.
06:22So I'm going to go back to headquarters and just review a bunch of video.
06:25Yeah.
06:41So the car comes and stops on 85.
06:46So here's the hotel.
06:47Stops right here.
06:49The team pulls up the security video from around the time of the murder.
06:54They get off the exit ramp on 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?
07:16The one on the back side is down.
07:22So there in the back, orange hoodie, and then the dark hoodie with bandana print sleeves.
07:32That's the victim in the white hoodie.
07:37So they passed the victim like they're thinking about it.
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 with his orange hoodie.
08:21So we got some good clothing to look for if we can figure out where to go.
08:25Yeah.
08:27So they have a camera that points basically at the roadway.
08:32And that's him pulling through.
08:35So that's the car right there?
08:36That's the car.
08:38It's going to be a dark car.
08:40Definitely dark.
08:42It's definitely a sedan.
08:45And there's nothing, there's no cameras up there that we can see which way that car goes.
08:50That's right, no.
08:54Some girl gave a room number and said, you need to look at this guy, Jahari.
09:00The man in room 243, whom the tipster said may be involved, is 28-year-old Jahari Foster.
09:08There's no vehicles that look good that are associated.
09:12And 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 before the shooting.
09:23Yeah.
09:25Right now, I don't have any suspects.
09:29I'm hoping that somebody will call and just give me some little kind of detail in order for me to
09:35run with to figure out who these guys are.
09:47Later that morning, Detective, how are you, sir?
09:51A guest from the hotel comes forward with information about Andre's murder.
09:56The lieutenant just told me that you have some information.
09:59They killed my friend last night.
10:02I'm sorry to hear that.
10:05What was your friend's name?
10:07Arthur Jones.
10:08He went by another name though, right?
10:10He says, I went there about, I used to live in the street morning.
10:15And a test came out from the second floor.
10:18And he's like, man, I fell asleep.
10:21He's a little damn gun, man.
10:23I was to the back.
10:24So Ted's gun got stolen?
10:26No.
10:28Somebody's gone.
10:29She says Andre came into possession of a stolen gun and was planning to return it to the owner.
10:35But he stole that gun while Ted was leaving.
10:40And he stole it before Ted was back to do.
10:44That's why the shooting happened.
11:04Okay, so he had the gun initially, is what he told you?
11:07He got it.
11:09He got it.
11:09However, Ted said I fell asleep and he stole it and now I got to steal it back.
11:20Why does he think that he has to steal it back?
11:23I guess they really mean it's real heat so he'd get the gun back or I don't know.
11:29But basically, they're trying to make it seem like Ted's responsible for this and it's not.
11:34She says the owner of the gun mistakenly thought Andre had stolen it.
11:39They're saying that the dude whose gun it is might be staying in that room 243, which is cleared out.
11:48She doesn't know the gun owner's name but gives the room number that was registered to Jahari Foster.
11:55Did you see the shooting itself?
11:57No.
11:57Okay.
11:58You were in the shots of your back room and I came out.
12:02Okay.
12:03Give me a question.
12:04Thanks for you.
12:11So the rumor mill is that all of this is over a stolen gun.
12:14Ready to go?
12:15Yes.
12:15She said that Andre wasn't the one that stole it but somehow the gun's owner believed that Andre was the
12:19one that stole it.
12:21She also provided the same room number as the other tipster that Jahari Foster was staying in.
12:28But we need more than just rumors to put him at the scene.
12:38Later that afternoon.
12:39How are you?
12:41So yesterday when we came in, we started looking back through some of the video from the other camera views.
12:48After combing through more of the hotel's surveillance video, the crime prevention unit has a lead.
12:55Ricketts pulled footage from earlier in the day and actually located the guy in the orange hoodie.
13:00So once we found him, we explored a lot more of the video and we actually identified them parking at
13:08the rooms to go,
13:09walking over to the horizon earlier in the day, kind of scoping things out.
13:14Five hours before the homicide, three men appear to be casing the hotel.
13:20The subject with the orange hoodie actually obtains it from a female on the second floor as he's walking in.
13:26You see the female with the orange hoodie just walking down the hall.
13:30He literally just walks up the stairs. She's already walking down the hallway with it.
13:34It's just a pass off and she walks one direction, he walks the other.
13:45Do y'all recognize that female at all?
13:47No. I was trying to get a better picture of her face.
13:54When this went earlier, we actually get a decent shot of his face.
13:59He walks this way and then they kind of stopped and they were talking to each other.
14:05It looks like Jahari.
14:07Price believes the suspect with the orange hoodie is the man who rented room 243, Jahari Foster.
14:15The two other subjects that he was with come around the back side of the building.
14:21They've already got their hoodies up.
14:23The second guy actually like pulls his drawstring tight to conceal his face.
14:34They go up, they're up there a very short time.
14:36They kind of walk around and then they come back down.
14:41So this is the subject in the gray hoodie.
14:45He's going to be the actual shooter because he's wearing the same handkerchief looking hoodie during the homicide.
14:57He meets up with the other two.
15:02Once they are leaving, they walk right back to the car that they came from.
15:09And then a few seconds later, you'll see the black passenger car and the rooms-to-go parking lot come
15:15around the left side of the building.
15:19We ended up identifying the vehicle as a Ford 500 passenger car.
15:27This is the Ford 500 leaving rooms-to-go.
15:34Once we had this video, we pulled the flat kits and Moon was able to identify the tag.
15:40The car is registered to 35-year-old Tyrus Lane from DeKalb County.
15:46He's got a very long and interesting room.
15:50Tyrus has several prior convictions, including armed robbery and aggravated assault.
15:56The way it looks in one of the views from the night at the inside, it almost looks like there's
16:01brake lights on before they get up to the car.
16:03It almost looks like there was somebody still in the car.
16:07Officers believe Tyrus could be the getaway driver.
16:12The car seems like it doesn't come up here very often.
16:15It seems like it tends to stay down in style like Dunwoody and Doraville area, Chamblee.
16:23Right there at the Motel 6.
16:25Yeah.
16:27There it goes.
16:29After the homicide, the suspect vehicle was captured by traffic cameras at a motel in Chamblee, about 20 miles west
16:36of Gwinnett.
16:37That's all we did?
16:38That was pretty good.
16:40I appreciate you guys meeting with us.
16:41I really appreciate the love of you.
16:51Look, right here.
16:53That's got to be the same one.
16:55The team takes a closer look at the hotel surveillance video from around the time of the murder.
17:01She's wearing the same .
17:03That's the same, it's the same female.
17:05Yeah.
17:06When they first come, she hands the suspect, which looks like Jahari, the orange sweatshirt.
17:16And then during the homicide, she's standing there on her phone.
17:23It's like she's looking and waiting.
17:26I wonder if she called.
17:28And said, hey, he's here out front.
17:29Hey, they're here.
17:31She's the lookout.
17:32Yep.
17:34She's involved.
17:35She already knew what was gonna happen.
17:37I don't see how she's not a participant.
17:40If she wasn't a part of it, she should be able to tell me who was.
17:43We gotta figure out who she is.
17:5419 hours in.
17:57Price returns to the hotel to ask the staff if they recognize the female in the surveillance video.
18:04They do know her.
18:06She's been here, they said, for like the last three or four days, but they don't really know her name
18:10or anything.
18:11But he did take my card and he says, if I find her and I can get a name, I'll
18:14text you.
18:17So at this point, I believe that the person in the orange hoodie is Jahari Foster.
18:22However, I need somebody to ID him and tell us who the other two suspects are.
18:28I've got the reasonable suspicion part.
18:30It's just not gonna hold up that far in court.
18:32So I need just a little bit more.
18:46The next day.
18:48We're about to go ahead, Chambly, for video footage.
18:51See if we got a clearer picture of their faces.
18:53The team heads to the motel, where the suspect vehicle was captured on traffic cameras after the homicide.
19:01Daddy.
19:06They asked the motel manager to pull up video from that night.
19:16We got them.
19:17They are there.
19:21Look at them showing up immediately after the homicide.
19:25Boom.
19:40They show up.
19:42There's three of them.
19:43Two of them come out.
19:49My man still has the orange hoodie.
19:52Fifteen minutes after the murder, two of the three suspects are seen getting out of the suspect vehicle at the
19:57motel in Chambly.
19:59In the driver's seat.
20:02That's probably more than likely the registered owner.
20:06That's good stuff.
20:09You see them hanging out in the corner and talking for a couple minutes, smoking a cigarette, but you don't
20:15see what room they go in.
20:18The suspects disappear into one of two rooms off camera.
20:22So this is the room roster for everyone who's rented the room here at the Studio 6.
20:28On the night of the murder, both rooms out of camera view were rented by women.
20:33Price can look at this.
20:35We're in business.
20:42According to Swazza, they go into room like 214 or 215, both registered as females.
20:47So I gotta see who they're connected with.
20:50Price researched the women in the two rooms, but has been unable to find a link to the suspects.
20:56I have to think that's Jahari there.
20:59The driver, I think, is gonna be registered owner.
21:02I'm still trying to figure out who this guy is, but those are the same exact shorts and same Pumas
21:07as a shooter.
21:09I think he's got the actual hoodie balled up in his arm right now.
21:14So I've done two out of three, but I still don't know who my shooter is.
21:35Three days later.
21:37It's still so unreal to me that my son is gone.
21:40Price speaks with Andre's mother.
21:43You hear about it, you see it.
21:45You just don't expect it to be you.
21:48No.
21:50The story I'm getting of it is he got blamed for stealing a gun.
21:54But the rumor is, is that it was somebody else and he got blamed for it.
21:59And then, of course, this happened.
22:01Right.
22:01Yeah.
22:04Yeah.
22:04People would tell me he's never lied to me.
22:07Yeah.
22:08Never kept anything from me.
22:09Even when he got in trouble as a young youth.
22:14I'm so torn.
22:15I can't even explain it.
22:17This is the child who calls me just to tell me he loves me.
22:22You know?
22:24Yeah.
22:24Never gonna have that.
22:26Again.
22:28The kids are torn up.
22:29My oldest boy can't even come out the house.
22:33It has really devastated my whole entire family.
22:36Yeah.
22:37Hopefully I'll have some news for you here by the end of the week.
22:40But I'll contact you as soon as I can, okay?
22:44All right. Thank you so much.
22:45Thank you. Bye.
22:46Okay. All right. Bye-bye.
22:52Then...
22:52The Department of Labor came back with where Jahari works.
22:57This is the shirt logo.
22:59According to the Department of Labor,
23:01Jahari works for a moving company in Norcross.
23:05This is the back of the hoodie.
23:08Can't really quite make it out.
23:10But it's their logo.
23:13And then here is his face shot wearing said hoodie.
23:19So he's wearing his work hoodie.
23:22So I'm gonna run over to Norcross and talk to a manager.
23:26Confirm, A, that's your logo.
23:27And B, who's that?
23:30Because we've only been able to guess that that's Jahari.
23:32So I just need somebody to tell me, yep, that's him.
23:39Later that afternoon...
23:43Price and Sergeant Michael Poppy pay a visit to Jahari's manager.
23:47He said, yeah, that's their logo.
23:49He said, yeah, that's their hoodie.
23:51Then flipped it over and showed him the guy.
23:53And he goes, I mean, he looks familiar.
23:56I was like, well, if you had to guess who.
23:58And he points to, on the wall, they have all their employees.
24:01He points to Jahari Foster's photo and says him.
24:04I got enough to pull Warren's now.
24:06He will be here Wednesday, 8 a.m.
24:10Jahari's next scheduled shift is in two days.
24:14I mean, there's no reason not to hook him up with him.
24:17He gave you his phone number, right?
24:19His Facebook username.
24:22The manager said he contacts Jahari through Facebook.
24:26So that was golden.
24:28I just would like to have a name of the third guy.
24:30The shooter.
24:37The next day...
24:41Early gets a lead on the third suspect.
24:45So I just went to Jahari's Facebook.
24:47I went to his profile picture and just looked at the two people that liked it.
24:52And one is this guy.
24:55He's got the chin.
24:56He's got the short hair.
24:58Yeah, he's got the long beard that the shooter has.
25:03I think that's him.
25:05Yeah, that looks like him.
25:08Demetrius Bush.
25:23He looks to me like the same guy that we have for the shooting.
25:27That big long goatee.
25:29His short hair.
25:30Same build.
25:35Now I got a clothes.
25:36Oh, yeah.
25:3933-year-old Demetrius Bush was born in Maryland and grew up in Atlanta.
25:44He has prior convictions for possession of cocaine and possession of a firearm while committing a felony.
25:50He's wanted for probation violation.
25:53He has an active warrant for violating his probation.
25:57All right, so then I check.
26:02Grab him.
26:05Price checks the guest registry from the motel where the suspects were dropped off after the murder.
26:11I know which room he goes in.
26:15214.
26:16One of the two females who rented a room on the night of the murder has the same last name
26:21as Demetrius.
26:22We got to get eyes on the hotel to see if he's still staying there.
26:26If I can just get him going in and out it, I'm golden to go search that room because that
26:30is where they go after.
26:38The next morning.
26:40So, a short while ago, our gang unit was able to go out to the Studio 6 motel in Chambly
26:48looking for one of our suspects.
26:50They were able to lay eyes on him and watched him go back into room 214.
26:56They came back out a short while later and they were able to jump out and grab him and place
27:01him under arrest for a probation violation warrant that he has.
27:04The suspected shooter, Demetrius Busch, is on his way to headquarters for questioning.
27:10We're going to search his room.
27:11We're looking for some clothing that he was wearing and possibly the murder weapon.
27:16Hopefully, we get enough now to charge him with murder also.
27:26The team searches the room where Demetrius was staying.
27:34We recovered the clothing that Mr. Busch had when the homicide occurred.
27:40The whole get-up was in there.
27:44Shoe, shorts, Paisley hoodie, the whole night.
27:50But there was no sign of the murder weapon.
27:53At this point, we have enough to take out arrest warrants, take him to jail.
27:57We're about to go talk to him now. We're at headquarters and see what he has to say.
28:08Hey, ma'am. Good. I'm Detective Price.
28:13Detective Swazzle.
28:14Oh, Price Swazzle.
28:15Yes. And you're Mr. Busch?
28:19Yes.
28:20Okay. So, have you ever been to the Horizon?
28:24No, I don't go to the Horizon.
28:26Well, on Wednesday, there was a homicide that occurred there.
28:31And there was clothing specific with the shooter at the homicide.
28:35Okay?
28:36That clothing was found in your room, all right?
28:38So...
28:39No, I can't. No.
28:41That's...
28:41So, you're getting charged with malice murder, felony murder.
28:44I'm gonna do me like that?
28:46Possession of a firearm and possession by a convicted felon, okay?
28:49Yeah.
28:50It's too easy.
28:52Y'all playing it like that for you?
28:54So, here's the thing.
28:55There's enough probable cause to talk to a judge to get these warrants. We're not playing with you.
29:01I need a lawyer.
29:03All right, brother.
29:04Gotcha.
29:04Good luck.
29:13He wasn't having it and asked for a lawyer.
29:16But it's a good feeling when you got the shooter arrested.
29:25While I was up here, waiting for Mr. Busch to get up here,
29:28we got intel that there's a dad looking for his daughter.
29:32He went to the Horizon Inn.
29:34Well, the manager has the photo of the female that we're looking for in Casey Caesar.
29:38Shows dad and was like,
29:39hey, I know pretty much everybody here and everybody around,
29:42but I don't know who this is. Maybe this is her.
29:45And he goes, yeah, that's my daughter.
29:47The female seen handing Jahari Foster the orange hoodie in the surveillance video
29:52has been identified as a teenage runaway, but her location is unknown.
29:56So now we have vice unit, special victims unit, narcotics.
30:02They're all looking for her.
30:04And I do have active warrants out on Jahari Foster.
30:09We were told that Jahari works tomorrow at 8 a.m.
30:13Hopefully we'll get him tomorrow morning.
30:21The next morning.
30:22The next morning.
30:23Fugitives just texted me saying that Jahari is 1095, he's arrested.
30:29The plan is for them to bring him up here so we can attempt to interview him.
30:33If anybody's going to talk, I think it's going to be Jahari.
30:48I think it's going to be Jahari.
30:55Jahari Foster asked for a lawyer.
30:58He's like, where are even my charges?
31:00I told him.
31:01Malice murder, felony murder.
31:03And he's like, what?
31:04And I was like, listen, I want to talk to you about him, but you already want a lawyer
31:08and I can't talk to you right now.
31:15I'm just trying to, I don't understand it, but honestly, I don't even have a fire arm.
31:19Yeah.
31:20My fire arm got stolen from me two weeks ago at that hotel.
31:24So I'm just going to know what's going on.
31:26And like I said, I do want to talk to you, okay?
31:29So if you want to talk to me, but you want a lawyer present, that's fine.
31:33Because I understand that Jahari got a job to do, but I don't need any present to pertain to me.
31:36Okay.
31:36Some serious charges that I don't even...
31:38Trust me, I know.
31:40I don't even know how to do it.
31:42I'll give you my card and you can take this with you, okay?
31:45I have nothing behind you.
31:47Yeah.
31:48We will get you transported to jail.
31:54He says he doesn't even own a gun because his gun got stolen two weeks ago.
31:58It feels good that I have these two in custody.
32:01And I'm like this close away from getting the third person.
32:04I just need that one little nugget to put Tyrus at the location.
32:09As soon as I do that, I'm good.
32:11We got to find the female too.
32:14Yeah, yeah.
32:2311 days later.
32:25So, the female minor that we were looking for got picked up.
32:30The teenage runaway seen on video handing Jahari the orange hoodie was tracked down and interviewed by the special victims
32:38unit.
32:38They did a forensic interview with her.
32:40She ends up talking about the shooting in detail.
32:45At first, she says that Jahari believed that it was his ex-girlfriend that stole his gun.
32:51He heard later then that it was a male, and then she was supposed to run around and try to
32:57figure out who the male was, but he supposedly figured it out first.
33:01She knew Jahari was looking to fight, but after the shooting, she then realized that it wasn't to fight, it
33:08was to actually shoot him.
33:09Because she flat out asks him what was planned, and he eventually confesses that it was planned.
33:16And then she talks about how afterwards, at the hotel, she's with Jahari and Bush, and Bush starts talking about
33:24his body count and how he just killed somebody.
33:27But the minor couldn't call police at all about anything because she was on the run herself being a runaway.
33:36The young female will not be charged and has been released.
33:41Unfortunately, she didn't mention anything about a driver in her interview.
33:45So, at this point, we're still trying to figure out how to tie Tyrus to the murder, and we're still
33:51trying to locate his car.
34:03A month later...
34:04So, we're headed down to Clayton County.
34:08Tyrus has a meeting right now with his probation officer.
34:11So, we're headed down there to hopefully intercept him.
34:15The team plans to confront Tyrus after he meets with his probation officer.
34:19I have plenty to take his car. I just can't say that he's the one that was driving it.
34:25But if we go down here and he says, I'm the only person to ever drive my car, nobody drives
34:29my car, that kind of stuff, that would be golden.
34:32I would be comfortable pulling warrants on him too.
34:42This is him right here standing outside his car.
34:48Hey, I'm Detective Price.
34:50Just go ahead and have a seat right there.
34:52Tyrus agrees to speak with Price and Corporal Rodrigo Araya inside Sergeant Hegwood's car.
35:00I just got a couple of weapons for you.
35:04That's your car?
35:05Yes, that's my car.
35:08Does anybody else drive your car?
35:11No, not recently.
35:14When was the last time somebody drove your car?
35:17June, July.
35:20One of the guys who stayed over there at the studio asleep, they said he had to run errands.
35:27Who was that?
35:29Um, a guy named Meech.
35:33Meech?
35:49You know Meech's real name?
35:53I don't.
35:58How long did you give him your car for?
36:01Um, hour and a half at the most, I guess.
36:04I got some photos for you.
36:06Do you recognize those two?
36:08Price shows him a photo of Jahari Foster and Demetrius Bush being dropped off at the motel after the murder.
36:16That's Meech.
36:17He identifies Demetrius as Meech.
36:21Do you know who was behind him?
36:24Have you ever seen him before?
36:26I don't know his name.
36:28I've seen over there a couple times before.
36:30Can you see it?
36:32This, this vehicle?
36:34They look like your car?
36:36Yeah.
36:37But you don't know who would have been driving your car?
36:39Meech?
36:40No, Meech gets out of the passenger seat.
36:43Oh, no. I don't know what he's wrong with him then. No, I don't.
36:47So, over at the Horizon and there was a homicide, right?
36:49Okay.
36:50Um, and your car was seen.
36:53At the homicide. Like, used in the homicide.
36:58So, that's why I'm here talking to you.
37:02Do you have any reason to be out there at the Horizon Inn?
37:05I don't even f*** around with it.
37:07No. No.
37:10Most definitely not.
37:11Do you have any text messages or anything with Meech?
37:14No, I got my f***ing on Autodeon.
37:16Would you mind if we took a look at your phone?
37:19Just to kind of confirm that?
37:21Tyrus hands over his phone.
37:24So, what we're going to be doing is taking your car up to Gwinnett County Police Headquarters.
37:31And then, once we're done with the car, I'll call you.
37:34All right. That's cool.
37:35All right. I appreciate you talking with us.
37:45You're good to go.
37:46All right. Thank you.
37:52I'm still convinced it's him.
37:53Yeah, the story still doesn't make sense.
37:55It doesn't make sense.
37:57It just sucks that it's like, you know it's him, but you just don't have enough.
38:01The last thing you have is going to be his phone.
38:04I know.
38:18One week later.
38:20I did a search warrant on the car.
38:22There was nothing remarkable in the car.
38:27This here is Tyrus Lane's phone.
38:32It seems like on the 17th through the 18th, he deleted all his stuff.
38:40But if you go into Google, the day of the homicide, 10.30, he's searching for Studio 6, which is
38:48where I believe Demetris and Jahari were picked up from.
38:53About an hour before the 911 call, Tyrus searched for directions to the motel in Chamblee, where Demetris was staying
39:01with his relative.
39:03Then at 1140, he puts the Studio 6 back into his maps.
39:08Seven minutes before the shooting, while his car was parked in the exit ramp near the crime scene, Tyrus searched
39:14for directions back to the same motel.
39:17Then, just like an hour or so after the homicide, he's searching Google Help to delete his browser history in
39:25both his search browser and maps.
39:28Yeah, so it's hard to say that he wasn't involved.
39:33I have asked for indictment on this by the DA's office.
39:38Price will wait for the district attorney to decide if there's enough evidence to charge Tyrus Lane with the murder
39:43of Andre Jones.
39:45I feel good about it now. I think it's a pretty solid case against those three.
39:53Obviously, Andre didn't deserve to die.
39:56I think he was just an unfortunate target of bad rumors.
40:22I think he was just a bit versucht.
40:34one month after andre was killed thank you you're welcome beautiful
40:41his family and friends gather to celebrate his life on his mother's birthday
40:49you know that when 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 andre
41:05i know everybody here is still hurting i know we're all grieving and maybe this will finally
41:11give us that closure we need to continue our grieving process for me it's a little different
41:17i'm probably going to grieve for quite some time it's a child it's my child that's a hard
41:24pill to swallow to know that his life was cut short and especially by gun 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
41:38for 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 but i can't believe someone stole his
41:51life like that there are days when i just can't breathe and i literally break down
41:58someone told me that our children are not ours god gave them to us forever long and he's called him
42:04back home so if i look at it like that then i look at it like my son was here
42:09for a purpose
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
42:18help with reform so maybe that's my purpose now and he gave it to me
42:25it's senseless gun violence is senseless come on let's let's do better it's time because this is ridiculous
42:32it's time for us
42:32so
