00:53Come on, baby.
00:55Okay, the police is here.
01:17All right, we got EMS, EMS is here.
01:20Step back, honey.
01:21Step back.
01:24Yeah, I don't think we're crazy.
01:51You have a male declared deceased.
01:53It's in the 3100 block of St. Rock.
01:58Apparently it's an area where there's a club nearby.
02:02It sounds like no one's left on scene that was there.
02:07Let's go see what we got.
02:17When I arrived on scene, homicide sections that are working overnight had already made
02:22the scene.
02:23Sergeant Constantine, Arthur Hill, and Maurice Stewart.
02:28The scene's completely calmed down from when it happened.
02:32The body's in the neutral ground in the grassy area between the sides of the street.
02:37Quite a distance from any of the buildings on either the northbound or southbound side of
02:42the street.
02:45So we had, what, five wounds?
02:48Two in the back?
02:49Two in the back, it looks like.
02:51It looks like none of them were through-and-throughs.
02:54There's no exit.
02:55There's no blood on the ground.
02:57The girls that I talk to work are gone.
02:59They already said who he was.
03:02We have Brandon Hayward.
03:03Hayward?
03:05The person deceased was Brandon Hayward.
03:09Brandon is from New Orleans.
03:11He's in his early 30s.
03:16That is the name of someone who says they may have some information but didn't want to
03:21talk to us out here.
03:23I learned that there was a witness who was there at the time of the incident.
03:28She is no longer on scene, so I'm not going to be able to talk to her now.
03:31But the fact that this person gave information to an officer to pass to me so that I can contact
03:37her later is a good sign.
03:39I spoke with someone else who knew the victim.
03:42She said she drove out here with the victim.
03:45What she said was they arrived at the club.
03:48She backed in like just past the tape.
03:51They backed in on the neutral ground.
03:52He told her for some reason to go ahead and walk in before me.
03:57And I asked her why did he tell her that.
03:58She said she don't know.
04:00So she left him sitting in the passenger seat of the car.
04:03She goes around to the club, goes inside, gets a drink.
04:08He's still outside.
04:10And then all of a sudden she came out and she saw them fanning him.
04:14It looks like he got out of the car and was back here for some reason.
04:18I asked her if he was beefing with someone.
04:20She said no, of course.
04:23So, I mean, that's pretty much all we have.
04:26I do have a phone number and an address and everything for the girl.
04:30Maurice told me that he had spoke to somebody else that supposedly arrived with a victim in a dark blue
04:37Toyota Camry.
04:38But she was inside the bar when the shooting happened.
04:41So there's two witnesses that I'll have to speak to later.
04:51All right, ladies, do you know this guy?
04:54Yeah, we know him.
04:54What's his name?
04:56I don't know his real name.
04:57That's OK.
04:58We call him Twin.
04:59He'd go by Twin?
05:00Mm-hmm.
05:02OK.
05:05That's where everyone was right before they came here?
05:08Mm-hmm.
05:09OK.
05:10The witnesses told me that they were at another bar with the victim,
05:13right before they came over here.
05:15And they gave me that address.
05:17It's very important that we do some follow-up with that address.
05:22All right.
05:26I'm hoping to get some video from the club.
05:29They look like some decent cameras on the outside of that.
05:32I just write warrants and rip everything.
05:35We'll come back tomorrow.
05:37No dice on the casings?
05:39No, nothing on the casings.
05:42There were no shell casings near the body.
05:45Clearly, he fell not where he was shot.
05:49He probably ran a little bit.
05:53Finding casings are important because we can track what gun fired what casings.
05:59If you get casings, ultimately later you can find a murder weapon and you can positively match the murder weapon
06:06to the scene.
06:08So I called the canine officers, asking them to come down, got the ballistics dog out, and they started sweeping
06:15the area.
06:28So he alerted over here?
06:30He gave me some interest in this area.
06:33If you find a couple, you know lunches on me, right?
06:39Come on, man.
06:48Ultimately, we found no casings.
06:51You think it's a revolver?
06:52It could be a revolver, yeah.
06:53Because they're not throwing through.
06:54I was thinking rifle because they were small holes.
06:55There was one that was throwing through, like the shoulder.
06:58I think that was throwing because they were close, though.
07:01The shooter probably was using a revolver, which wouldn't eject any shell casings.
07:07Generally, revolvers fire projectiles that are lead, so they're softer.
07:12They're more likely to deform on impact, so they generally stay inside the body.
07:17No phone out here?
07:20No phone.
07:21Anything else of note in his pockets?
07:27Is that a receipt?
07:28Yeah.
07:29Get a picture of that.
07:31Yeah, that'll be important.
07:33In the victim's pocket, the coroner found a receipt from a seafood restaurant in the east from that same day.
07:44I'll take a look at it.
07:45So, he may be with somebody.
07:48It could stem from a fight he had at the seafood restaurant.
07:50You never know.
07:52So, we're gonna go there tomorrow and get that video footage, see if he's with anybody.
07:57Right now, I don't have a lot to go on.
08:00I also need to contact the two witnesses that were out here.
08:04And I'm hoping that some of the businesses in that area caught the incident on camera.
08:10So, I think, like, 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, I'm just gonna start to hit the ground running.
08:14So, we'll see.
08:16Thanks for coming out.
08:18We'll see.
08:24We'll see.
08:47Hello.
08:48Hello, I'm looking for Ms. Charlotte Hayward.
08:50This is Detective Harmoot, New Orleans Police Department.
08:52Yes.
08:53Um, I would like to sit down with you face to face at some point just so you can see
08:58me and we can talk about whatever you need to talk about if there's any news I can give
09:01you.
09:02OK.
09:04It's important to reach out to the family members of the victim and let them know that
09:09you're on the case and that you're there for them, but also give them enough space to grieve.
09:16She told me that he has a twin brother. They've been involved in making music since they were
09:22very young.
09:23Brandon has children. He has a lot of family members and I can't begin to imagine the depths
09:30of their despair.
09:31He's gonna be missed.
09:34This is my cell phone just for families and witnesses. At your convenience, when you feel
09:39up to it, you call me back on this number and I will come over and talk to you. OK?
09:45OK.

12:44so
12:45so
13:04Once you're ready to go, we're just going to follow you up.
13:06You go when you're ready, all right?
13:07All right.
13:10Through an intelligence source, I found out this car was parked behind this building.
13:15Over here, there's a bullet hole in it, and it's the same car that I have the victim in on
13:22video at a seafood place earlier in the day before he was killed.
13:29We ran the plate, and the car is registered to the witness that Detective Stewart spoke to at the crime
13:35scene, who had said that she had arrived at the club with the victim.
13:40What she said was they arrived at the club.
13:43He told her for some reason to go ahead and walk in before me, and I asked her why did
13:48he tell her that.
13:49She said she don't know.
13:51I am going to call her as soon as this car is put into the cage.
13:55I need her to come to headquarters and explain to me what happened that night from her perspective.
14:01And then I can ask her where her car is and see what she has to say about that.
14:05And then I can search it and hopefully get the projectile out of it.
14:10Hopefully it's not too badly tore up.
14:12Maybe if I find a murder weapon at some point in the future, match it up.
14:42I can search it and see what she has to say about that.
14:46You think you want to come down to the building and talk to me so I can get your statement
14:50from that for the night?
14:54I'll send you a text with the address.
14:56When you get out front and you park, you give me a call back and I'll come down and let
15:00you in the building.
15:02How long do you think?
15:03You'll be able to come over now?
15:05All right.
15:10The witness is coming in, but she's very hesitant.
15:12We're hoping she actually shows up and lets us know what she saw
15:16and any other information that might be valuable to the investigation.
15:34So, Friday, you were at that bar?
15:39Yes.
15:40We were driving when we were there.
15:41I was driving.
15:43It was sitting in the passenger seat.
15:44Okay.
15:45And so, when we pulled up, I stepped out the car.
15:47I'm like, you ready?
15:47You coming?
15:48He said, go ahead.
15:48I'm coming.
15:49I went across the street.
15:51I walked in.
15:53I seen the people I know.
15:54We spoke.
15:55And I went to the bar and got a drink.
15:58And then the girl who the party was for, she got on the mic and announced,
16:02everybody get to y'all car safely.
16:05Nothing about nothing was going on outside.
16:08As I walked to my car, the driver's door was open.
16:11And I'm like, he's not in the car.
16:12So, I see a crowd of people surrounding somebody.
16:16So, I go over there and I see him.
16:17I'm like, you know what happened?
16:19Nobody ever said he got shot or nothing.
16:21So, I went back to the car to try to unlock his phone and call his mother,
16:24but I couldn't get the phone or not.
16:26Where is that phone now?
16:27I don't know if it was in my car or I dropped it somewhere right there.
16:31So, you don't know anything about what happened?
16:32What have you heard rumor-wise as what happened?
16:35I only heard what his mama was telling me, like,
16:38can't be bothered that I got into an altercation with somebody.
16:41How'd you leave?
16:43I left when he was still there.
16:44Like, when the police pulled up, they kept saying,
16:46well, he out here by himself.
16:47And I'm like, he out here with me.
16:49And I couldn't get in touch with nobody.
16:51So, I drove off and I went to the mama house.
16:53And I knocked on her door.
16:54It took me like 10 minutes to even get them up.
16:57The witness, she's very forthcoming.
17:00She tells me things that I already knew to be true,
17:02which is good because then I know she wants to help.
17:05The next step is to ask her about the vehicle.
17:07She doesn't know we've already found it.
17:10So, her answers will be very telling
17:12to determine if she's being honest in this interview or not.
17:16Where's your car now?
17:19It spoke, uh,
17:21down with me because that's where I met everybody at
17:24after I left his mama house.
17:26And my and her husband came around there with me.
17:28Like, they follow me back now.
17:30And my family and stuff here came over there with me
17:33and sit down and talk.
17:35I said, I don't want to pick it up today.
17:37But then I do have a bullet over in my car.
17:39Don't go pick it up today.
17:40I have it.
17:41So, all I need for me really is the keys
17:43so that I don't have to break into it.
17:45I'm going to search it, see if his phone is in there.
17:47I'm going to see if I can find the bullet itself in your car.
17:53If you hear anything,
17:56please just pass along any information to me.
18:01The witness was truthful about the car.
18:03So, it leads me to believe that everything else
18:05about her statements were true.
18:08Unfortunately, the witness was inside the club
18:10when the shooting happened
18:11and she was not able to add any additional information.
18:15So, I'm hoping that the car will have some evidence
18:17that can point us in the right direction
18:18to find out who killed Brandon Hayward.
18:21Oh.
18:55The bullet and the victim's phone might be in there.
19:01Brandon Hayward supposedly arrived in this car
19:03the night he was killed.
19:05I have video of him in that car
19:07and there's a bullet hole in the car.
19:10The big thing is to see if I can recover the projectile,
19:13match it to the projectiles they pulled out of his body.
19:18Did it come through?
19:20I don't see where it can be.
19:28Oh, careful.
19:31I don't see.
19:36There it is.
19:37All the way down behind that speaker, it looks like.
19:41Winning.
19:43Winning, winning, chicken dinner.
19:44No problem, man.
19:46Crime lab was able to recover the bullet
19:48that went through the door.
19:50That'll go to ballistics and we'll see
19:52if it matches the other projectiles
19:55we found in the decedent.
19:57Now, we need to find the decedent's cell phone.
20:05One right there.
20:07Look at you.
20:11One on a second.
20:13Another phone?
20:17Oh.
20:19Bingo, bango.
20:21His phone's everywhere.
20:26Oh, that one's destroyed.
20:28That's definitely not his working phone.
20:31I'll take all of them.
20:34We found five cell phones in the car.
20:37We'll work on trying to get digital forensics
20:40to get into them.
20:41I'm hoping one of them is Brandon.
20:44Because right now,
20:46the evidence is thin.
21:06A second witness on scene
21:08gave her name and phone number
21:11subtly to one of the officers
21:12who got it to me.
21:14That is the name of someone
21:16who says they may have some information
21:18but didn't want to talk to us out here.
21:21She claims to have been standing there,
21:23knows what happened,
21:25why the shooting happened,
21:27possibly saw the perpetrator.
21:29So we're on our way
21:31to the 5th District Police Station
21:32where we're going to see what she knows.
21:34So fingers crossed
21:36that this all works out.
21:38We need some good luck here.
21:57So from what I understand,
21:58and I just want to make it clear,
22:01you're a witness to what happened, right?
22:03Yes.
22:05I want to start from where
22:07was having a party.
22:08So she invited Erica to the party.
22:11I went peek, Erica.
22:12Erica is the dude who shot Twin.
22:18Okay.
22:19I went in there to the party.
22:22I didn't really say nothing to nobody
22:23and I walked back out.
22:25Erica in the car.
22:27So I didn't know Twin pulled up
22:28behind my car.
22:29Three friends,
22:30so he hurried up and jumped out the car
22:32and he gave me a hug
22:33because I ain't seen him in a long time, right?
22:35Okay.
22:35And I was happy to see him though,
22:37but I didn't know that was going to be
22:38my last day to see him.
22:41Eric was trying to figure out
22:42who I was talking to.
22:43So he got off the car
22:44and he spoke to Twin.
22:45Okay.
22:46When Twin saw him get out of the car,
22:47Twin had like an attitude on his face
22:49and his whole demeanor changed.
22:52So Eric said,
22:53what's up?
22:55And Twin,
22:55after he finished talking to me,
22:57he spoke to him.
22:57He was like,
22:58what's up?
22:58He gave him a dab.
22:59So they must know each other.
23:01And then he went back talking to me.
23:03So Eric got in the car.
23:04I thought he was standing in the car.
23:06Wow.
23:07So me and Twin was still talking.
23:08Eric got out the car
23:09and then they passed some words.
23:13Some words.
23:14Like,
23:15why are you still talking to her?
23:17It's time to,
23:18yeah.
23:18All your words.
23:19Yeah.
23:20Eric said that I took too long
23:22to end the conversation
23:24with me and Twin.
23:25They started to,
23:26like,
23:27you know,
23:27raise up to each other.
23:28So I'm trying to jump
23:29in the middle of the thing.
23:31But Twin pushed me
23:32and that's when Eric got mad.
23:34Because Twin pushed me
23:35because I'm trying to break them up.
23:36So they started tussling first
23:38and Eric went back to the car
23:40and got whatever was in his bag
23:41or whatever.
23:43And then what he did.
23:44So he started shooting?
23:46Yes.
23:47When he shot him,
23:48he ran.
23:48And he still was shooting at him.
23:51Did you see
23:52the kind of gun it was?
23:53I know I didn't see the gun.
23:54I didn't see the gun.
23:56Okay.
23:57After he shot him,
23:58he was like,
23:58oh, get in the car.
23:59I said,
24:00I'm not bringing you nowhere.
24:01So he ran off.
24:03You didn't know Eric's last name?
24:05Garrison.
24:07How old were you?
24:0832, I think.
24:10Do you remember
24:11what Eric was wearing?
24:13Eric had on some jean pants
24:15and he had a white shirt.
24:17And he homeless his day
24:19in the tent.
24:21How did he get in contact?
24:22He called me probably,
24:23like,
24:23see if you can go to my phone.
24:25He called me,
24:26Robbie.
24:28That's him calling me?
24:28Mm-hmm.
24:29Oh.
24:30This particular witness
24:32knew everything.
24:33She was able to identify
24:35the alleged perpetrator
24:37as Eric Garrison.
24:39Everything she described
24:40was correct
24:42based on what we had
24:43on the scene,
24:44the way she
24:45spoke about him
24:46and her mannerisms
24:48and her demeanor
24:49overall.
24:50There's no reason
24:51to disbelieve anything
24:51she says.
24:53Give me a couple minutes.
24:54I need to find
24:55a picture of him
24:56and I want to make sure
24:57we're talking about
24:58the same thing.
24:58Oh, that's fine.
24:59Does that make sense?
25:01People believe in the system
25:02won't show that.
25:10Hey, I need a confirmation photo.
25:13Eric Garrison,
25:15about 32 years old.
25:33You see the hairstyle?
25:34How old is that photo?
25:36One of the detectives
25:37in the 5th District
25:38was able to run the name
25:39for me,
25:39find someone reasonably
25:41the right age
25:41with that name,
25:42able to get
25:43a driver's license photo.
25:45He got a criminal
25:46in my history.
25:47Yeah.
25:48In this particular instance,
25:50there's no reason
25:50to do a six-pack lineup.
25:52She said she knew
25:53this person for a while.
25:55So we showed her
25:56a single driver's license photo.
26:00I'm going to hang you
26:01the folder.
26:01You look at it
26:02and you tell me
26:02if this is the person
26:03you know who shot Twin.
26:05I don't have to
26:06give you a little bit.
26:13He had this shot.
26:15That's him.
26:15That's the person
26:16who shot Twin.
26:17Okay.
26:33My witness,
26:34she identified the shooter.
26:35She said,
26:36his name is Eric Garrison.
26:39I don't know where he is.
26:41She said he was homeless.
26:43She said that he's called
26:44a couple times
26:45from a number
26:46that says,
26:46you know,
26:47private caller.
26:47So he's blocking
26:48his own phone number.
26:51I gave his name
26:51to the FBI task force
26:54so they can
26:55maybe put eyes on him.
26:56And if they're able
26:57to put eyes on him,
26:58as soon as I have
26:59a judge's signature
27:00on the warrant,
27:00they'll be able
27:01to just scoop him up.
27:01and they're being in Kudem.
27:20And now,
27:20and then they're
27:20talking to him.
27:20And he said,
27:24I'll go for you.
27:26And he's in Kudem.
27:29I'll go for it.
27:29And now,
27:29we've got home.
27:30I know he's like,
27:30we'll have to come back to my car.
27:32He keeps telling you to meet.
27:38Okay.
27:39You're going to get a call from one of our social workers.
27:42They're going to have some information for you.
27:44And if you want to get out of town, they can help you do that.
27:48Okay.
27:48And I'll be in contact with you again.
27:50Okay.
27:52All right, bye.
27:55It's important to get this perpetrator off the street as soon as we can,
27:59because that's a real threat to her safety.
28:02Especially if he thinks the witness ID'd him as the shooter.
28:06Right now, I need to see if I can find any video of actually the incident occurring
28:11or of the perpetrator fleeing to help strengthen the case.
28:18Yes, ma'am.
28:19This is Detective Herman Nolens, Police Department.
28:22Yes.
28:22You know, there was an incident in the block of St. Rock on early...
28:27Yeah.
28:31I authored a search warrant this morning for video surveillance.
28:34Do you have video surveillance equipment at the building?
28:37Yes.
28:37Okay.
28:38What's the website that you use?
28:42If you want to just tell me the name and password, and I'll see if I can get it done.
28:49Okay.
28:50I'll see if I can get that done, and I'll either tell you that I got it already,
28:53or that I'm coming to meet you.
28:55Okay.
28:55Thank you so much.
28:57All right, bye.
29:03I'm going to try to see if I can log into this website and see the camera footage.
29:09That's cool.
29:09They gave you remote access.
29:11Yeah.
29:12I just want video of the incident.
29:15It'd be great if we had the whole thing captured on camera.
29:19I got my fingers crossed.
29:21Okay.
29:25All right.
29:28I know roughly about what time the call came in, so I know exactly at what time to look.
29:33And I was at the scene, so I know exactly where the body was found.
29:37So I know exactly where to look.
29:40There's glare.
29:41Son of a bitch.
29:44It's going to happen right here where I can't see.
29:46Ha!
29:50Literally, it's on camera, but there's a glare from the light outside, so I'm not going
29:55to be able to see it happen.
29:57That would have been too easy, bro.
29:59Oh, come on.
30:06It doesn't appear I'm going to get anything extra.
30:09That's disappointing.
30:11Missy?
30:13Check this out.
30:15But this is after it happened and they're starting to clear out.
30:18She turns the lights off.
30:19Wait, watch this.
30:21This is what it looks like at the time it happens.
30:23Yeah, that glare.
30:23Yeah.
30:24Right after it happens, they're shutting the place down.
30:28Everybody's leaving.
30:30And then she clicks the lights off.
30:32And look, can see.
30:35Of course.
30:37It's clear as day when she turns the lights off.
30:40You think that we're going to make it easy, points?
30:43Yeah.
30:46There you go.
30:55No, that's my shooter running away.
30:59There's some video from another angle that shows right after the shooting.
31:05It's a person running, wearing what the witness said.
31:08The shooter was wearing a white shirt.
31:11But it's not clear enough to identify this person.
31:16Yeah, can't see nothing but a blur running.
31:33Okay.
31:35Okay.
31:36your advice what's happening there's a bar some girl's having her birthday party out there and
31:43my victim he's in the car the victim sees the witness he gave her a hug they talk it seems
31:51like
31:51a shooter there might be some jealousy there and he got out the car got mad about it okay they
31:56exchange words shooter goes back to his car grabs a gun comes back out and just shoots him all right
32:03so there's some escalation there yeah detective fife is one of the best detectives that i've had the
32:09experience of working with i regularly go to him to make sure that i'm not getting tunnel vision
32:15in my pursuit of a suspect to make sure i'm seeing all the angles as clearly as possible so i
32:21speak
32:21to him making sure that i have enough probable cause now to write an arrest warrant for eric
32:25harrison so just a good witness statement yeah she explained exactly how it went down
32:33okay so she's got details of the scene details of the scene she did the confirmation photo no problem
32:40and then he started calling the witness apparently a bunch of times
32:45so that's sort of where i'm at yeah video i got surveillance footage there's a guy in all white
32:51running past the camera which is the direction she said he ran okay and it's the timings right
32:57but the strength of the case is going to be her defending her statement yeah and so any little
33:03thing might help yeah i think you're good for arrest warrant dude if he's out and about yeah that's more
33:10time to convince her to to change her story i think you know what you got to do yeah right
33:17it's good to talk it out though i have probable cause so i'm able to write an arrest warrant for
33:25eric garrison for murder
33:53i got a call this morning apparently last night eric garrison started calling the witness a bunch
34:01of times so the officers went out how many times he called you they've been calling it all day and

37:23of the phone call it'll say you know this is a call from an inmate everything's recorded there should be

37:32if that's something you want to do okay he'll be sent back to new orleans in the next week or
37:37two and
37:37then we'll start the process of the criminal case against him here okay bye
37:45clearing the case and getting an arrest warrant is a relief you get to give somebody the start
37:50of their closure like this is the person that's wanted for killing your loved one but that's the
37:56beginning of the work because now we have to take it to court so i still have a lot of
38:02work ahead of me
38:10so
38:37Hey.
38:38What's happening?
38:40The firearms report came back.
38:42The bullets, they recovered from inside my decedent on autopsy.
38:45And the bullet we pulled out of that car were fired from the same gun.
38:50It's a .38 caliber class ammunition, which includes .38 Special 357 Magnum and 9mm.
38:57They won't be able to tell you exactly what type of gun it was fired from,
39:01but the type of projectiles recovered from the body of the decedent are consistent with a revolver.
39:07And then the suspect called the witness from jail.
39:1221 phone calls he makes the day he's arrested, all to her.
39:16That's your witness again?
39:17This is my witness from jail.
39:19He's talking to her about how much he loves her and that if you love me, you wouldn't want to
39:23see me in jail.
39:24It's kind of frantic.
39:25Yeah. Listen to this.
39:28Nobody can't force you to do nothing.
39:31So don't do it.
39:33If you love me, you should have wanted me in this forever, bro.
39:38And that's usable, right?
39:39Yeah. It's showing that he's trying to manipulate her.
39:42At one point, he says, I love you so much.
39:45You love me too? Yeah.
39:45Well, then we should get married because if you marry me, then they can't make you say anything bad about
39:49me.
39:50Hmm. How romantic.
39:52If they got married, that's not like a workaround for...
39:54No. People watch too much TV.
39:56Legal knowledge comes from law and order.
39:59He's in custody, so we'll see how it goes in court.
40:11My name is Charlotte Marie Hayward.
40:14I am Brandon's mother.
40:18All of my kids had their own special gifts, but Brandon drew logos.
40:26He did tattoo drawings.
40:29He had his first art show.
40:31He was about five.
40:33That's my twin.
40:35That's my better half, my heart.
40:38We split seeds, so...
40:40Being a twin is like having a better half that pushes you.
40:44It helps you not make the bad decisions in life.
40:48Our angel.
40:49What's up, Fred?
40:50Over there.
40:52That is nice.
40:54It would be him to be our guardian angel because he just can't take anyone else having to do that.
41:04One of the most important things for me as a parent was to allow them to feel safe and loved
41:10and to be themselves.
41:12They became musicians right off the bat.
41:15I want to say maybe fourth grade, third grade, they were already in Jazz Fest.
41:21Yeah.
41:21You know, it's a big honor to be a musician in Jazz Fest.
41:25Like, he plays the piano by ear.
41:27He plays the guitar.
41:28He plays every instrument that I can name.
41:30Like, a harmonica, everything.
41:32So it's just, it's crazy, man.
41:45The things that Brandon would do were always about togetherness, love, forgiveness, family, things like that.
41:56So wherever he went, he definitely made a mark.
42:00He made a difference.
42:06Brandon Hayward was killed for no reason.
42:10He had children.
42:12Now his family has to take care of his kids.
42:17His parents don't get to see him get married one day.
42:19He misses everything.
42:21And that's tragic.
42:26There was no reason for a shooting to happen.
42:29For whatever perceived slight Eric Garrison thought he incurred, it didn't need to end in violence.
42:36But case is resolved.
42:38And Mr. Garrison is in jail.
42:40By the time Eric Garrison was extradited back to New Orleans, he had a lawyer and they weren't going to
42:45give me a statement.
42:46So I never spoke directly with the suspect.
42:49And he never found the weapon.
43:10And he never found the weapon.
