TVTranscript
00:14Being a homicide detective in the city of New Orleans, a stressful day at work, could
00:20mean having seen things that 99% of the population has never seen and will never see.
00:329-1-1, what's going on from the M-A-X-N-6?
00:35There's a man shot by Chapitula.
00:38And like, I think that's Andrew.
00:41Chapitula St. Andrew?
00:43Yeah.
00:44He landed on the ground.
00:46Oh, my God.
00:48They're going to steal trombones.
00:50We have units on our way.
00:53Is this your car?
00:54Yeah.
00:54All right, we're going to cut this traffic off and send it down that way.
00:57Temple.
00:58So, I get EMS to the intersection of Chapitula's in the area.
01:01We have one victim down.
01:04Person, gunshot.
01:06Couple to the body, one to the head.
01:09Hey, guys.
01:10There's lots of y'all stepping, all right?
01:11They got cases everywhere.
01:13They got a left man right here.
01:15They got a right homicide.
01:28The only information I have is a black man who was shot, about six caissons on the scene.
01:36And SUV apparently fled from the scene.
01:39A dark gray GFC Yukon just got information that the same SUV may have crashed somewhere in New Orleans East.
01:48This is the warehouse district.
01:51It's kind of mixed residential apartments and businesses.
01:55It's right outside of the Prince Quarter of New Orleans.
02:04As I'm walking into the crime scene, I notice immediately that there's just a large number of people in the
02:10area.
02:11It was the last night of Essence Festival, a three-day festival every year that we have around 4th of
02:16July.
02:17It brings in a lot of visitors to the city.
02:21In this case, the first responding officers were working in detail literally within probably 100 yards of where the homicide
02:27occurred.
02:29What's up?
02:32What do we have?
02:33We got one body?
02:34Yeah, one body.
02:35Okay.
02:38We had a deceased male on the scene.
02:42There's a lot of people there, but nobody wanted to come forward with what they possibly saw related to the
02:49actual homicide.
02:51So I knew that I was going to be relying on video surveillance evidence in the area.
02:56Ugly Dog has cameras.
02:58See, they have a camera right there on the side.
03:01All of the cases are over there by that Nissan, by the Ugly Dog.
03:06So I think he probably got shot over there and ran over this way.
03:09Yeah.
03:10Okay.
03:14It looks like the cameras were pointed in the direction where the murder took place.
03:18Unfortunately, the Ugly Dog is closed at this time, so I'll have to come back tomorrow.
03:23Any idea who the victim is yet?
03:25This is a guy named DeMond Foley.
03:28DeMond Foley?
03:29Okay.
03:33DeMond Foley is 36 years old.
03:35He's self-employed.
03:37He was out enjoying Essence Fest, but instead he was shot and killed.
03:44He was shot.
03:46He did—
03:46OK.
03:48He was shot.
03:50He was shot.
03:51See, he was shot.
03:51He was shot.
03:52He had a gun on the right.
03:57But he was shot.
03:59There were a number of shell casings.
04:04they all appear to be the same caliber those are definitely not a millimeter
04:11blood goes all the way over that in that direction yeah there's blood on the gun too
04:18there was a handgun that was in very close proximity to the victim
04:23at this point i'm not sure if that belonged to the victim or the perpetrator
04:49the magazine in that gun was at full capacity and there is a live round in the chamber the gun
04:57is a 40 caliber but the spin cases that are on the crime scene they're non-millimeter
05:04it's likely at this point that i'm looking for another gun
05:07the deputy that was black in the street right there he said he heard sick shot he waited a few
05:14minutes there was nobody around but he saw the door color and it should be the yukon coming from this
05:20way when it took the shot street right that's what was it okay did he see the shots coming from
05:25the
05:25yukon no no he just heard the shot he said there was nobody out here okay
05:31the gmc yukon denali was seen fleeing the crime scene by sheriff's deputies the tires were screeching
05:38that's a little suspicious so we want to know more about that vehicle
05:43yeah i contacted the rtcc and they gave me um video for the um denali
05:50and the vehicle was in this area at the time of the homicide okay
05:58so um they have people over there they want to know if the victim is somebody named penny penny yeah
06:04penny and i was asking them to describe penny and they showed me a picture of him i said what
06:10kind
06:10of car he's driving so he's driving on a denali um detective smith was approached by someone at the
06:19crime scene who is concerned with whether or not penny is the deceased victim i go over to speak to
06:28the
06:28gentleman how you doing man i'm detective ball who's me you okay what brought you out here like
06:36i will sleep i just got a phone call and they said that they saw him on instagram he was
06:41at the
06:41drug and they said that they thought that this was him okay what does he look like is that a
06:48recent
06:48picture yeah how recent uh about three weeks the gentleman shows me a photograph of penny
06:57it's not the deceased individual that's on the ground but i can't tell him that because i still
07:03want to get as much information as i can i then asked what penny's real name is um and he
07:10tells me
07:11it's alfred pennington alfred pennington yeah what kind of car does it drive oh you called an island
07:19what color is it oh you don't like i like really don't move hang tight i'm gonna come talk to
07:25you
07:25in a minute okay he tells me someone named alfred pennington drives a dark color gmc yukon
07:33that matched the description of the vehicle scene fleeing the homicide scene
07:39so uh the rtcc gave me a plate on the vehicle it is a texas plate oh that's who it's
07:46registered to
07:46yeah they call it's right they call him to pennington they call him penny so they sort of
07:50called register to detective smith confirmed with us that the registered owner of the gmc yukon
07:57was in fact alfred pennington so he became a person of interest i wanted to use all right
08:11we got information that dark colored suv a yukon fled the scene at a high rate of speed heading
08:18towards the interstate and in new orleans east right after this shooting there is a dark colored suv with
08:27the same plate on it that crashed so we're going to be heading out there right now
08:42what did they get i mean it looks like the tire just blew out but i mean they probably hit
08:46something at some point outside of it's all chewed up yeah was anybody here any witness or anything
08:52when y'all got here that license plate matched the license plate on the vehicle
09:03that was fleeing the scene it belongs to alfred pennington so at this point i do have enough
09:10probable cause for a search warrant for that vehicle let's have it toad okay you get it put
09:16in the cage for me yeah okay thank you brother appreciate it no problem bye man
09:30hello good morning good morning yeah
09:38in processing the vehicle my goal was to find any evidence that's related to the crime scene like a gun
09:46and any identifying evidence on who was inside the vehicle
10:00if you could take the phone for sure and let's do dna exterior and interior door handles dna
10:12what i need at this point is a gun that i can link to the shell casings found at the
10:17crime scene
10:25no gun
10:30so far i've got really no evidence that alfred was actually in here
10:36i don't know at this point i still need to determine who was in that vehicle at the time
10:43the homicide occurred whether they were the driver or passenger okay thank you much i appreciate it
10:50i need to find the murder weapon and i need to find video that captures the murder without any of
10:57that
10:57so far i'm at a dead end
11:03so
11:07so
11:13so
11:13so
11:13so
11:27at this point i still need to determine who was in that vehicle at the time the offense occurred
11:33so we're heading to the ugly dog saloon which is a business that's located just outside of where the
11:40homicide occurred they supposedly have video of the entire offense so i'm anxious to see that video
11:52i am born and raised in the city of new warms back in 1985 my grandfather was unfortunately murdered
12:01it was an armed robbery and since i was a child i've grown up wanting to be a policeman
12:09specifically homicide i was motivated by his case and i have had as long as i can remember a sense
12:17of
12:17wanting to just do my part in solving crime
12:27hey what's going on man doing well how are you good good nice meeting you
12:31yeah the video from the camera that's right there have you seen it yet uh-huh okay
12:37so i'm looking for a gray yukon denali that fled supposedly
12:44oh god this is a good video that's the denali huh
12:51yeah that's that's the yukon yeah
12:55it's like they're in between the two cars
13:07wow
13:09the video recording from ugly dog it is from a little bit of a distance
13:13in terms of being able to identify the shooter
13:18but i can hear the gunshot and the victim is seen running away and the shooter is seen chasing after
13:25the victim continuing to shoot as the victim eventually collapsed across the street
13:29i don't know at this point that the shooter is alfred pennington for sure
13:36but i do see the shooter get into the driver's side of the dark gray gmc yukon and flee
13:43having this video is great for the first time i'm able to see exactly what occurred
13:48what i need at this point is to be able to identify who that shooter is and who it was
13:53that was operating that gmc yukon that's the one angle okay and then i have the other one from behind
14:00looking down annunciation sweet
14:06so there's the suv right there that's the shooter come across the street then get in his suv okay
14:18here's the victim coming huh yeah right walking right there
14:23it goes around the front that is great video
14:47it looks like he had a distinct logo or emblem or something on his shirt front and back
14:57you see his shirt you're right he did hear something there
15:02so what i'm thinking i'm gonna go back here and try to pull video him walking and see if i
15:06can get him
15:08his face but yeah that's that's great
15:15the video is pretty cut and dry it definitely put everything into perspective
15:21there's still many unanswered questions at this point
15:23what occurred in front of the yukon was there a physical altercation was there a threat
15:30we collected a gun at the crime scene did the deceased victim pull the handgun out and pointed at
15:36him all i know about the gun is that it was stolen about a year ago that doesn't really tell
15:41us much
15:43the shooter he's got a pretty distinct shirt it's got some kind of logo on the front and back of
15:48it
15:48so i have a reference point on what to look for hopefully we get a good image of his face
16:14there's a man that just got shot and he is on the ground he's on the street on the side
16:20of his car
16:20and he's on the side of his car please he's starting to look like he can't die oh my god

18:34there's our crime scene units they're starting to cone certain things in the street some casings that
18:41are on the sidewalk i noticed that most of the scene seems to be around a jeep that's parked in
18:46the
18:46middle of the block it clearly has some kind of bullet damage to it on the driver's side and its
18:53windows are shattered out on the passenger side there was a witness who was on scene
18:59detective walt vedman is going to talk to the witness and see what we can find out about who did
19:04this so what do we have on scene we got the this is like the surviving victims clothes we got
19:13six 40
19:14caliber shell casings all over here oh walt said the witness says the shooter is a guy named dino
19:21and he came over here and started arguing about some video the victim took of him on the victim's
19:28phone or something like that and then dino started shooting on him our witness was able to tell us that
19:35my decedent stanley was sitting on the passenger side in the jeep there was some kind of argument
19:42happening between stanley and shooter standing on the passenger side of the car about some kind of video
19:49the witness started hearing gunshots he saw stanley was shot and the driver was also shot
19:57and he said dino did it he didn't know dino's real name but he knew dino lives in the area
20:07so this
20:08is dino's address is supposedly this and that came from walt this came from walt who got it from the
20:15witness so i'm raising sod okay get the house surrounded and if we can get a warrant for the house
20:22okay boom dino supposedly lives right around the corner a couple houses down from where we're all
20:29standing now that we know where dino lives we need to get a search warrant and now we're calling the
20:36swat
20:55so we got a 30 over here we're still like wrapping up the actual original crime scene
21:02typing up a warrant very quickly on this house and seeing if sod can assist with executing the
21:08the warrant i'm working just some intel real quick seeing if we can just figure out who
21:14the perp is we might be hitting an empty house though is possible um type in your risk assessment
21:21your search warrant and when you get that send it to me all right sounds good once the witness told
21:27us where dino lived at i began researching the address trying to see if i could find out checking
21:34our databases who lives there all right well this is interesting we got a devon green 36 years old
21:45all right so i pulled up the address and i got a hit for a devon green
21:53who is 36 years old light-skinned black male he's five foot seven which is exactly the description we
21:59got from the witness but at the very least even if we hit the house and it comes up blank
22:04we can show a
22:05line-up yeah
22:42So a positive ID on our permit.
22:48Hey, Lou, just got a positive ID from it is going to be Devin Green.
22:57It's minutes before the briefing.
22:59I just got the call that my witness actually picked out Devin Green in the lineup,
23:04confirming that Dino is Devin Green.
23:09This is my suspect.
23:12I get a search warrant for Devin's house.
23:16All right, what's going on, guys? Good evening.
23:18Thank you all for coming. I know y'all were activated at kind of last minute.
23:22So earlier today, around 2 p.m., two victims were shot, one fatal, one non-fatal.
23:28We were able to identify the perpetrator as Devin Green.
23:31We actually knew where the perp lived.
23:34We don't know if he's inside.
23:36Appreciate y'all being here and if there's anything else.
23:40We want to get into this house as soon as possible
23:42because the last thing that we want is for my possible suspect
23:47to go back to the house and start cleaning things up,
23:50getting rid of evidence, getting rid of any guns.
23:53The more time that goes on, the more evidence that we are at risk of losing.
24:02All right.
24:03I guess we'll follow the train out of here.
24:14Clock is ticking.
24:15Is Devin Green going to be inside or not?
24:18It's just the moments where I start to get, like, nervous, like,
24:22you know, catch him off guard or is he already in hiding?
24:26Find out pretty soon.
24:30All right, fellas, let's go.
24:32Take your time.
24:38Three, one, two, four.
24:46One, two, three, one.
24:48Open the door all the way.
24:50All the way.
24:54Who we got?
24:55Who we got coming in?
24:55We got an LGC mail before I'm doing it.
25:06Someone else just came out.
25:09I don't think that's the target, huh?
25:11I don't think so.
25:12No, they just let him walk like that.
25:14No.
25:20So right now, he might be inside because they're still calling his name.
25:25Yeah.
25:26Which they would do if it's been locked.
25:29Just take this off section so no one drives up on us.
25:32Oh, .
25:33Shot.
25:34Back up.
25:36Take cover.
25:37Cover!
25:37Cover!
25:51We have Devin Green's house surrounded, and somebody just started shooting from inside.
25:57I don't know if any of our guys are hit.
25:59We're calling for as many units as possible to respond to the area, get a perimeter around the location.
26:06Right now, it's a standoff.
26:09This is a tense moment, waiting to see what's going to happen next.
26:14But our SWAT guys are going to do everything they can to make sure that we come to a peaceful
26:18resolution.
26:29Good morning, everyone.
26:31This is an update involving an officer-involved shooting that occurred on October 5th, around 7 o'clock at night.
26:38This incident took place during the service of a high-risk warrant related to a homicide that had occurred earlier
26:47in the day.
26:47That homicide suspect was a 36-year-old man by the name of Devin Green.
26:55Mr. Green fired at the officer from inside the residence.
27:01And this resulted in our officer's returning fire.
27:04After a nine-hour standoff, Mr. Green finally surrendered and was taken into custody.
27:14In the exchange of fire, no one was struck, and therefore there were no injuries.
27:31The smoke is practically still settling.
27:34It's surreal.
27:36I can't believe the number of rounds that were being fired that nobody got hurt.
27:42I'm grateful.
27:44Nobody wants to see anybody get hurt.
27:46We want the criminal justice system to hold people accountable.
27:49I can finally breathe some relief now that Devin is in custody and our guys are okay.
27:57We did the search warrant inside the house, and there was two guns, a rifle, and a pistol.
28:05The pistol matches the caliber of casings that we had on the scene of the homicide.
28:13Now, I want to see if I can get a statement from Devin.
28:16I still need to be able to prove that Devin's the one who killed Stanley Williams.
28:22And do you die?
28:24Yeah, so he's at the hospital.
28:28So we'll see what he says.
28:29He says he says he knows what he says, the other with a refused of fire.
28:39It's okay.
28:40That's right.
28:44He's out.
28:45He say, he says, he says, that's it.
28:49He says, no, no, no, no, no.
28:50He says, what?
28:53He says, what?
28:54He says, what?
28:58Here he says.
29:00how's your case going what's up bro yeah it's good so i'm getting ready to look at some video
29:04from a restaurant which is right across the street from ugly dog i have a good idea of
29:11who the perpetrator is a gentleman named alfred pennington so hopefully this catches him i mean
29:17i've got a good reference point with the shirt he had like an emblem wow why can i never get
29:22video
29:22like that look how clear it is now i don't know who's panning this but it's got to be motion
29:31yeah
29:31it picks up on alt motion that's going i have video from the ugly dog that shows him walking this
29:37way
29:37from here across the street and you can tell he's got some distinct logo on his shirt
29:44so there were sheriff's deputies working or something yeah right across the street from
29:47where the shooting happened the shooting happened right here wow that's breezy yeah
29:56hopefully that is it's turned that way when it happens
30:02there he is is that the suspect that is him you see the logo
30:12oh my god that's alfred how do you know him i have a picture of him
30:19perfect all right now he's on scene damn
30:25i'm able to pretty much identify the shooter from the ugly dog saloon video as alfred pennington
30:31using those identifying features from the t-shirt as a reference
30:38it's clearly the same logo now watch you're gonna see victim right behind him look here's the victim
30:47oh bro he's skipping
30:52no i pan
30:56look there there's a victim yeah i see him
31:00so 123 what time did it happen what happened at 124
31:07camera ain't gonna catch it
31:11no but what this does it gives me his face yeah
31:17it is a very aha moment for me
31:20this place is alfred pennington at the crime scene at the time the offense took place
31:25so at this point i do have enough probable cause for an arrest warrant
31:29and i'm confident that a judge will sign it
31:32but i still have a lot of unanswered questions
31:34what occurred in front of that gmc ucon
31:38why did alfred pennington allegedly shoot demond
31:43hopefully i am able to find alfred pennington
31:46and get answers to all these questions that we have
32:17i just talked to d
32:19dino aka devin green after devin surrendered he started saying i had an old groin injury
32:27and it's aggravated right now so i want to get checked out of the hospital
32:31and so it was there that i interviewed him
32:35devin ends up telling me that devin owed stanley money
32:40and stanley had told devin he was going to get back at him for this money owed
32:45and stanley was sharing a video
32:48that depicted devin in a light that devin didn't want other people to see him in
32:55and so devin felt his manhood had been disrespected
32:59and devin said that's why he did it
33:02he even went as far to say that the second person who was in the driver's seat
33:07was nothing more than collateral damage
33:12so right now we're uh pulling back up in the area where the homicide happened
33:19i still want to get as much evidence as possible
33:23gonna walk up the block and just see if there's any other cameras
33:27ring doorbells or anything that might give us an actual look at what happened
33:54i secured an arrest warrant for alfred pennington for the murder of demond foley
33:59i received a phone call from alfred pennington's attorney
34:02who expressed that alfred wanted to turn himself in
34:05he was aware that he did have an arrest warrant out for him
34:08and he came in with two attorneys
34:12now i have a lot of questions
34:15the obvious question of what occurred in front of that gmc yukon
34:20that he needed to possibly shoot demond foley
34:24okay you do have a warrant for your arrest
34:26um the warrant is for a second of your murder
34:29it's an incident that happened july 8 in the evening
34:33why don't you tell me what happened
34:37i came down friday
34:41to go to
34:44i don't live here i live in houston
34:48i just was out trying to have a good time
34:52so i went in the club
34:55and i walked in
34:56somebody pulled my shirt i turned around
34:59and i saw who it was
35:01and it's just god that i
