04:45He's like, he's turned around, kind of speedy up towards me.
04:49The other dog said, just go to the office and get him a soda.
04:51I said, I got you.
04:53Got the dog from him, see him, I'll turn around.
04:55Ah, ah.
04:57Shot.
04:59I didn't see this thing, took off or anything.
05:03The second guy was still there.
05:05The darker hoodie?
05:07Yeah.
05:08He was with the shooter.
05:09I didn't see him going that way, but I was still focusing too.
05:13So he was still, still going down, going down.
05:16Yeah.
05:17Did he call them by any kind of nickname or anything?
05:21Well, he said, my son.
05:24All right, man.
05:25Appreciate you hanging around.
05:33Hey.
05:33Hey.
05:34Lead detective Julie Price arrives on scene.
05:38Someone came up to York about somebody to look into.
05:43I was like, would you at least talk to one of my people now?
05:46And she's like, no.
05:47I don't want them to name him.
05:49While Sergeant Dallas York was canvassing the hotel,
05:52a guest said the man staying in room 243 may be involved.
05:58Got checked out.
05:59But according to the manager, the man in that room checked out this morning.
06:05But I think we're going to have to regroup and put all the video and everything together.
06:10Yeah.
06:10I don't know what else we're going to be able to do up here.
06:13There's no cost.
06:15The manager gave York the names of all the hotel guests for that day.
06:22This hotel shares their cameras with Gwinnett Police Department.
06:26So I'm going to go back to headquarters and just review a bunch of video.
06:46So the car comes and stops on 85.
06:50So here's the hotel.
06:52Stops right here.
06:54The team pulls up the security video from around the time of the murder.
06:58They get off the exit ramp on 85 right there behind Horizon.
07:03It sits up here with its hazard lights on.
07:06Six minutes before the shooting, the suspect's car stops on the side of the highway.
07:14They both come down the embankment.
07:19There's no cameras back there?
07:21The one on the back side is down.
07:27So there in the back, orange hoodie, and then the dark hoodie with bandana print sleeves.
07:37That's the victim in the white hoodie.
07:41So they pass the victim like they're thinking about it.
07:52And then they turn around and go back.
08:02The guy in the bandana print hoodie pulls his gun, fires two shots.
08:08They take off.
08:11It looks like he was targeted.
08:16They come running back up.
08:19You see him go back across the back of the car with his orange hoodie.
08:26So we got some good clothing to look for if we can figure out where to go.
08:30Yeah.
08:32So they have a camera that points basically at the roadway.
08:36And that's him pulling through.
08:40So that's the car right there?
08:41That's the car.
08:43It's going to be a dark car.
08:45Definitely dark.
08:47It's definitely a sedan.
08:49And there's nothing, there's no cameras up there that we can see which way that car goes.
08:55That's right now.
08:58Some girl gave a room number and said, you need to look at this guy, Jahari.
09:04The man in room 243, whom the tipster said may be involved, is 28-year-old Jahari Foster.
09:12There's no vehicles that look good that are associated.
09:16And he also just checked out that morning.
09:19But Jahari doesn't drive a dark-colored sedan.
09:21And he checked out of the hotel 12 hours before the shooting.
09:27Yeah.
09:30Right now, I don't have any suspects.
09:34I'm hoping that somebody will call and just give me some little kind of detail in order for me to
09:39run with to figure out who these guys are.
09:51Later that morning.
09:53Detective, how are you, sir?
09:55A guest from the hotel comes forward with information about Andre's murder.
10:01He kind of just told me that you have some information.
10:04They killed my friend last night.
10:07I'm sorry to hear that.
10:10What was your friend's name?
10:11Dr. Jones.
10:13He went by another name, though, right?
10:14He says, I went there about that you took him in the street morning.
10:33She says Andre came into possession of a stolen gun and was planning to return it to the owner.
10:39But, you know, he stole that gun while Ted was in the street.
10:44And he sold it before Ted was even back to do.
10:49That's why the shooting happened.
11:08Okay, so he had the gun initially, is what he told you?
11:11He got it.
11:12However, Ted, if I fell asleep, it'd be a stolen gun.
11:16Now I got to steal it back.
11:24Why does he think that he has to steal it back?
11:27I guess they're putting me through, so he'd get the gun back.
11:30I don't know, but basically, they're trying to make it seem like it was Ted's responsible for this.
11:36It's not.
11:37She says the owner of the gun mistakenly thought Andre had stolen it.
11:42They're saying that the dude who's gun it is might be staying in that room 243, which is cleared out.
11:52She doesn't know the gun owner's name, but gives the room number that was registered to Jahari Foster.
11:58Did you see the shooting itself?
12:00No.
12:01Okay.
12:14So the rumor mill is that all of this is over a stolen gun.
12:17Ready to go.
12:18She said that Andre wasn't the one that stole it, but somehow the gun's owner believed that Andre was the
12:23one that stole it.
12:24She also provided the same room number as the other tipster that Jahari Foster was staying in.
12:31But we need more than just rumors to put him at the scene.
12:41Later that afternoon.
12:43How are you?
12:45So yesterday when we came in, we started looking back through some of the video from the other camera views.
12:52After combing through more of the hotel's surveillance video, the crime prevention unit has a lead.
12:59Ricketts pulled footage from earlier in the day and actually located the guy in the orange hoodie.
13:04So once we found him, we explored a lot more of the video and we actually identified them parking at
13:11the rooms to go,
13:13walking over to the horizon earlier in the day, kind of scoping things out.
13:17Five hours before the homicide, three men appear to be casing the hotel.
13:23The subject with the orange hoodie actually obtains it from a female on the second floor as he's walking in.
13:30You see the female with the orange hoodie just walking down the hall.
13:34He literally just walks up the stairs. She's already walking down the hallway with it.
13:38It's just a pass off and she walks one direction, he walks the other.
13:49Do y'all recognize that female at all?
13:51No. I was trying to get a better picture of her face.
13:58When this went earlier, we actually get a decent shot of his face.
14:03He walks this way and then they kind of stopped and they were talking to each other.
14:09It looks like Jahari.
14:11Price believes the suspect with the orange hoodie is the man who rented room 243, Jahari Foster.
14:18The two other subjects that he was with come around the backside of the building.
14:24They've already got their hoodies up.
14:27The second guy actually like pulls his drawstring tight to conceal his face.
14:37They go up. They're up there a very short time.
14:40They kind of walk around and then they come back down.
14:45So this is the subject in the gray hoodie.
14:49He's going to be the actual shooter because he's wearing the same handkerchief-looking hoodie during the homicide.
15:00He meets up with the other two.
15:05Once they are leaving, they walk right back to the car that they came from.
15:13And then a few seconds later, you'll see the black passenger car and the rooms-to-go parking lot come
15:19around the left side of the building.
15:23We ended up identifying the vehicle as a Ford 500 passenger car.
15:31This is the Ford 500, leaving rooms-to-go.
15:37Once we had this video, we pulled the flackets and Moon was able to identify the tag.
15:44The car is registered to 35-year-old Tyrus Lane from DeKalb County.
15:49You've got a very long and interesting room on this one.
15:53Tyrus has several prior convictions, including armed robbery and aggravated assault.
15:59The way it looks in one of the views from the night at the inside, it almost looks like there's
16:04brake lights on before they get up to the car.
16:07It almost looks like there was somebody still in the car.
16:11Officers believe Tyrus could be the getaway driver.
16:16The car seems like it doesn't come up here very often.
16:18It seems like it tends to stay down in the style like Dunwoody and Doraville area, Chamblee.
16:26Right there at the Motel 6.
16:28Yep.
16:31There it goes.
16:32After the homicide, the suspect vehicle was captured by traffic cameras at a motel in Chamblee, about 20 miles west
16:39of Gwinnett.
16:40That's all we did?
16:42Yeah, it was pretty good.
16:42I appreciate you guys meeting with us.
16:45We really appreciate the right work.
16:47Thanks, y'all.
16:54Look, right here.
16:56That's got to be the same one.
16:58The team takes a closer look at the hotel surveillance video from around the time of the murder.
17:04She's wearing the same .
17:07That's the same, it's the same female.
17:09Yeah.
17:10When they first come, she hands the suspect, which looks like Jahari, the orange sweatshirt.
17:20And then during the homicide, she's standing there on her phone.
17:26It's like she's looking and waiting.
17:29I wonder if she called.
17:31And said, hey, he's here out front.
17:33Hey, he's here.
17:34She's the lookout.
17:35Yep.
17:37She's involved.
17:38She already knew what was going to happen.
17:41I don't see how she's not a participant.
17:43If she wasn't a part of it, she should be able to tell me who was.
17:47We've got to figure out who she is.
17:5719 hours in.
18:01Price returns to the hotel to ask the staff if they recognize the female in the surveillance video.
18:08They do know her.
18:09She's been here, they said, for like the last three or four days, but they don't really know her name
18:13or anything.
18:14But he did take my card and he says, if I find her and I can get a name, I'll
18:18text you.
18:21So at this point, I believe that the person in the orange hoodie is Jahari Foster.
18:25However, I need somebody to ID him and tell us who the other two of the suspects are.
18:31I've got the reasonable suspicion part.
18:34It's just not going to hold up that far in court.
18:36So I need just a little bit more.
18:50The next day.
18:51We're about to go ahead, Chambly, for video footage.
18:54See if we get a clearer picture of their faces.
18:56The team heads to the motel, where the suspect vehicle was captured on traffic cameras after the homicide.
19:10They asked the motel manager to pull up video from that night.
19:19We've got them.
19:20They are there.
19:24Look at them showing up immediately after the homicide.
19:28Boom.
19:43They show up.
19:44There's three of them.
19:46Two of them come out.
19:51My man still has the orange hoodie.
19:54Fifteen minutes after the murder, two of the three suspects are seen getting out of the suspect vehicle at the
20:00motel in Chambly.
20:02In the driver's seat.
20:04That's probably more than likely the registered owner.
20:09That's good stuff.
20:12You see them hanging out in the corner and talking for a couple minutes, smoking a cigarette.
20:17But you don't see what room they go in.
20:20The suspects disappear into one of two rooms off camera.
20:25So this is the room roster for everyone who's rented the room here at the Studio 6.
20:31On the night of the murder, both rooms out of camera view were rented by women.
20:36Price, look at this.
20:38We're in business.
20:45According to Swazza, they go into room like 214 or 215.
20:48Both registered to females.
20:50So I got to see who they're connected with.
20:52Price researched the women in the two rooms, but has been unable to find a link to the suspects.
20:59I have to think that's Jahari there.
21:02The driver, I think, is going to be registered owner.
21:05I'm still trying to figure out who this guy is.
21:07But those are the same exact shorts and same Pumas as a shooter.
21:11I think he's got the actual hoodie balled up in his arm right now.
21:17So I've done two out of three.
21:18But I still don't know who my shooter is.
21:22Okay.
21:37Three days later.
21:40It's still so unreal to me that my son is gone.
21:43Price speaks with Andre's mother.
21:46You hear about it, you see it.
21:48You just don't expect it to be you.
21:51He didn't design this.
21:52No.
21:53The story I'm getting of it is he got blamed for stealing a gun.
21:57But the rumor is, is that it was somebody else and he got blamed for it.
22:01And then, of course, this happened.
22:03Right.
22:04If my son had done something, he would tell me.
22:08He's never lied to me.
22:10Yeah.
22:10Never kept anything from me.
22:12Even when he got in trouble as a young youth.
22:17I'm so torn.
22:18I can't even explain it.
22:20This is the child who calls me just to tell me he loves me.
22:25You know?
22:26Yeah.
22:26You're never going to have that.
22:28Again.
22:30The kids are torn.
22:32My oldest boy can't even come out the house.
22:36It has really devastated my whole entire family.
22:39Yeah.
22:40Hopefully, I'll have some news for you here by the end of the week.
22:43But I'll contact you as soon as I can, okay?
22:46All right.
22:47Thank you so much.
22:48Bye.
22:49Okay.
22:49All right.
22:50Bye-bye.
22:54Then.
22:55The Department of Labor came back with where Johari works.
22:59This is the shirt logo.
23:02According to the Department of Labor, Johari works for a moving company in Norcross.
23:08This is the back of the hoodie.
23:11Can't really quite make it out, but it's there, though.
23:15And then here is his face shot wearing said hoodie.
23:22So he's wearing his work hoodie.
23:25So I'm going to run over to Norcross and talk to a manager.
23:28Confirm, A, that's your logo.
23:30And B, who's that?
23:32Because we've only been able to guess that that's Johari.
23:35So I just need somebody to tell me, yep, that's him.
23:42Later that afternoon...
23:45...Price and Sergeant Michael Poppy pay a visit to Johari's manager.
23:50He said, yeah, that's their logo.
23:52He said, yeah, that's their hoodie.
23:54Then flipped it over and showed him the guy.
23:56And he goes, I mean, he looks familiar.
23:59I was like, well, if you had to guess who.
24:01And he points to, on the wall, they have all their employees.
24:03He points to Johari Foster's photo and says, him, I got enough to pull Warren's.
24:08Now, he will be here Wednesday, 8 a.m.
24:13Johari's next scheduled shift is in two days.
24:17I mean, there's no reason not to hook him on Wednesday.
24:20He gave you his phone number, right?
24:22His Facebook username.
24:25The manager said he contacts Johari through Facebook.
24:28So that was golden.
24:30I just would like to have a name of the third guy.
24:33I'm going to shoot him.
24:40The next day, Early gets a lead on the third suspect.
24:47So I just went to Johari's Facebook.
24:49I went to his profile picture and just looked at the two people that liked it.
24:54And one is this guy.
24:57He's got the chin.
24:58He's got the short hair.
25:01Yeah, he's got the long beard that the shooter had.
25:06I think that's him.
25:08Yeah.
25:08That's definitely what that looks like.
25:11Demetrius Bush.
25:25It looks to me like the same guy that we have for the shooting.
25:29That big, long goatee.
25:30His short hair.
25:32Same build.
25:36Now I've got to pull his profile.
25:38Oh, yeah.
25:4033-year-old Demetrius Bush was born in Maryland and grew up in Atlanta.
25:46He has prior convictions for possession of cocaine and possession of a firearm while committing a felony.
25:52He's wanted for probation violation.
25:55He has an active warrant for violating his probation.
25:59All right.
25:59All right.
26:00So then I check.
26:03Right.
26:06Price checks the guest registry from the motel where the suspects were dropped off after the murder.
26:13I know which room he goes in.
26:14I know which room he goes in.
26:162-14.
26:18One of the two females who rented a room on the night of the murder has the same last name
26:22as Demetrius.
26:24We've got to get eyes on the hotel to see if he's still staying there.
26:28If I can just get him going in and out it, I'm golden to go search that room because that
26:32is where they go after.
26:40The next morning.
26:42So, a short while ago, our gang unit was able to go out to the Studio 6 motel in Chambly
26:49looking for one of our suspects.
26:52They were able to lay eyes on him and watched him go back into room 2-14.
26:58They came back out a short while later and they were able to jump out and grab him and place
27:02him under arrest for a probation violation warrant that he has.
27:05The suspected shooter, Demetrius Bush, is on his way to headquarters for questioning.
27:11We're going to search his room.
27:13We're looking for some clothing that he was wearing and possibly the murder weapon.
27:17Hopefully we get enough now to charge him with murder also.
27:27The team searches the room where Demetrius was staying.
27:35We recovered the clothing that Mr. Bush had when the homicide occurred.
27:42The whole get-up was in there.
27:45Shoe, shorts, paisley hoodie, the whole night.
27:51But there was no sign of the murder weapon.
27:54At this point, we have enough to take out arrest warrants, take him to jail.
27:59We're about to go talk to him now.
28:01We're at headquarters and see what he has to say.
28:10Hey, ma'am.
28:11Good.
28:12I'm Detective Price.
28:14Detective Swazil.
28:16Oh, Price Swazil.
28:17Yes.
28:18Um, and you're Mr. Bush?
28:21Yes.
28:21Okay.
28:22So, have you ever been to the Horizon?
28:25No, I don't go through the Horizon.
28:27Well, um, on Wednesday, there was homicide that occurred there.
28:32And there was clothing specific with the shooter at the homicide.
28:37Okay?
28:37That clothing was found in your room, all right?
28:40So...
28:41No kidding, no.
28:43So you're getting charged with malice murder, felony murder.
28:46I'm gonna do you like that?
28:48Possession of a firearm and possession by a convicted felon, okay?
28:51Yeah.
28:52It's too easy.
28:53Y'all playing it like that for you?
28:56So here's the thing.
28:57There's enough probable cause to talk to a judge to get these warrants.
29:01We're not playing with you.
29:03I need a lawyer.
29:05All right, brother.
29:05Gotcha.
29:15He wasn't having it and asked for a lawyer.
29:18But it's a good feeling when you got the shooter arrested.
29:26While I was up here waiting for Mr. Bush to get up here,
29:30we got intel that there's a dad looking for his daughter.
29:33He went to the Horizon Inn.
29:35Well, the manager has the photo of the female that we're looking for in Casey Caesar.
29:39Shows dad and was like,
29:41Hey, I know pretty much everybody here and everybody around,
29:44but I don't know who this is.
29:46Maybe this is her.
29:47And he goes,
29:47Yeah, that's my daughter.
29:49The female seen handing Jahari Foster the orange hoodie in the surveillance video
29:53has been identified as a teenage runaway,
29:56but her location is unknown.
29:58So now we have vice unit, special victims unit,
30:03narcotics.
30:04They're all looking for her.
30:05And I do have active warrants out on Jahari Foster.
30:11We were told that Jahari works tomorrow at 8 a.m.
30:15Hopefully we'll get him tomorrow morning.
30:23The next morning.
30:25Fugitives just texted me saying that Jahari is 1090, he's arrested.
30:30The plan is for them to bring him up here so we can attempt to interview him.
30:35If anybody's going to talk, I think it's going to be Jahari.
30:49That's it.
30:51he walked it did he yeah on his way into homicide johari foster asked for a lawyer
30:58he's like what are even my charges i told him malice murder felony murder and he's like what
31:05and i was like listen i want to talk to you about him but
31:07you already want a lawyer and i can't talk to you right now
31:26like i said i do want to talk to you okay so if you want to talk to me um
31:31and but you want a lawyer
31:32present that's fine because i understand that i don't have a job to do but i don't need any
31:35president to take me okay some serious charges that i don't even trust me i know oh yeah i'm gonna
31:41do
31:41it i'll give you my card and you can take this with you okay thank you thank you yeah
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
31:59it feels good that i have these two in custody and i'm like this close away from getting the
32:04third person i just need that one little nugget to put tyrus at the location as soon as i do
32:10that
32:11i'm good we got to find the female too yeah yeah
32:2411 days later so the female miner that we were looking for got picked up the teenage
32:32runaway seen on video handing jahari the orange hoodie was tracked down and interviewed by the
32:37special victims unit they did a forensic interview with her she ends up talking about the shooting
32:44in detail at first she says that um jahari believed that it was his ex-girlfriend that stole his gun
32:52he heard later then that it was a male and then she was supposed to run around and try to
32:58figure out
32:58who the male was but he he supposedly figured it out first she knew jahari was looking to fight
33:05but after the shooting she then realized it wasn't to fight it was to actually shoot him
33:09um because she she flat out asks said what's the plan 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 um bush starts
33:25talking about his body count and how he just killed somebody but the miner couldn't call police at all
33:32about anything because she was on the run herself being a runaway the young female will not be charged
33:39and has been released unfortunately 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
33:52trying to locate his car
34:03a month later so we're headed down to clayton county tyrus has a meeting right now with his probation officer
34:12so we're headed down there to hopefully intercept him the team plans to confront tyrus after he meets
34:18with his probation officer i have plenty to take his car i just can't say that he's the one that
34:24was
34:24driving it but if we go down here and he says i'm the only person to ever drive my car
34:29nobody drives my
34:30car that kind of stuff that would be golden i would be comfortable pulling warrants on him too
34:43this is him right here standing outside his car
34:48hey i'm detective price just go ahead and have a seat right there
34:53tyrus agrees to speak with price and corporal rodrigo araya inside sergeant hegwood's car
35:01but i just got a couple of weapons for you that's your car yes that's my car
35:09does anybody else drive your car no not recently
35:15when was the last time somebody drove your car
35:18june july one of the guys who stayed over there at the studio sleep he said he had to run
35:25air
35:28who was that um
35:49you know mech is a real man i don't
35:58how long did you give him your car for
36:01hour and a half at the most i guess i got some photos for you do you recognize those two
36:08price shows him a photo of jihari foster and demetris bush being dropped off at the motel
36:14after the murder definitely he identifies demetris as mech
36:20do you know who's behind him
36:25i don't know his name i've seen over there a couple times before can you see it this this vehicle
36:34they look like your car yeah but you don't know who would have been driving your car mech
36:40no mech gets out of the passenger seat oh no i don't know we wrong with him no i don't
36:45so over
36:47at the horizon and there was a homicide right okay um and your car was seen
36:52at the homicide like used in the homicide
36:57so that's why i'm here talking to you do you have any reason to be out there at the horizon
37:03i don't even around with it you know no most definitely not do you have any text messages or
37:12anything with mech no i got my out of these would you mind if we took a look at your
37:17phone
37:18just to kind of confirm that tyrus hands over his phone so what we're going to be doing is taking
37:27your car up to gwinnett county police headquarters and then once we're done with the car i'll call
37:32you all right that's cool all right i appreciate you talking with us
37:44you're good to go all right thank you
37:51i'm still convinced it's him yeah story doesn't still doesn't make sense it doesn't make sense
37:56it just sucks that it's like you know it's him but you just don't have enough
38:01last thing you have is gonna be his phone i know
38:17one week later i did a search warrant on the car there was nothing remarkable in the car
38:26this here is tyrus lane's phone
38:31it 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 searching for studio six
38:47which is where i believe demetris and johari were picked up from
38:53about an hour before the 9-1-1 call tyrus searched for directions to the motel in chambley
38:59where demetris was staying with his relative
39:03then at 11 40 he puts the studio six back into his maps seven minutes before the shooting while his
39:10car was parked in the exit ramp near the crime scene tyrus searched for directions back to the same
39:16motel then just like an hour or so after the homicide he's searching google help to delete his browser
39:23history in both his search browser and maps yeah so it's hard to say that he wasn't involved
39:32i have asked for indictment on this by the da's office price will wait for the district attorney to
39:39decide if there's enough evidence to charge tyrus lane with the murder of andre jones i feel good
39:46about it now i think it's a pretty solid case against those three obviously andre didn't deserve to die
39:55but i think he was just an unfortunate target of bad rumors
40:01so
40:01that's
40:02that's
40:02that's
40:02that's
40:10that's
40:29that's
40:34one month after andre was killed thank you welcome beautiful his family and friends
40:41gathered to celebrate his life on his mother's birthday
40:49when he was little he was 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 so i'm
41:31hoping that many of you or all of you will help me take up that mantle in helping with reform
41:37for gun violence so that we can help with some change especially in our communities
41:45i'm trying not to have hate and vengeance i'm trying but i can't believe someone stole his
41:50life 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
42:03them back home so if i look at it like that then i look at it like my son was
42:09here for a purpose
42:11i think his death and the way he died was what he wanted me to do pick up that mantle
42:16and make change
42:18help with reform so maybe that's my purpose now and he gave it to me
42:24it's senseless gun violence is senseless come on let's let's do better it's time because this is ridiculous
