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.
00:20Fire, medical.
00:21Police and medical.
00:22What's going on?
00:22All I know is there was fighting, gunshot,
00:25there was a dying leg in the middle of the road.
00:31Hello?
00:32Yes, we need inside.
00:34Are you right there with the patient?
00:36Yes, he's on the ground.
00:39Is he awake?
00:40Yes, he's breathing.
00:41I need to hurry up because he's bleeding bad.
00:45Avalanche is on the way.
00:48No other way.
00:49No other way.
00:51No other way.
00:52Okay, he's still breathing.
00:53I'm going to need.
00:58I need to breathe.
01:00I need to breathe!
01:00I need to breathe!
01:01They've been carefully to the hospital.
01:06The people that they jump in the heart, that shot him,
01:11one of them got hit in the leg.
01:12So they should be going to a hospital.
01:14Hey, they said one of our suspects might have been hit in the leg,
01:17too, so let us know if somebody shows up at the hospital
01:19as soon as you figure that out.
01:25He ran, he heard his friends say, run, run, fuck it.
01:28Like, ran down this creek bed.
01:30Hey, Cam.
01:32They just now told me one of the shooters ran on foot.
01:37Hey, Hauk, they said he went that way toward the creek.
01:40Let's go this way, clear this, where he was kind of headed.
01:45Let's go around the front and work this side down here.
02:01We tracked the suspect this way, but now we can't find him.
02:10Hello?
02:13Pronounced at the hospital?
02:14Yeah, I gotcha.
02:17He has passed away.
02:19I'm being deferred to homicide.
02:32For homicide detectives, their chance of solving a murder is cut in half if they don't get a lead within
02:40the first 48 hours.
02:56So, Brandon gave me a call about 30 minutes ago, said, we got a homicide.
03:00Uh, our victim already been transported?
03:04He wasn't 10-7 here.
03:05He was still, he still had a pulse when he was here.
03:07Okay.
03:08And who is him?
03:10His name is Farron, F-A-R-R-O-N, Cooper.
03:1623-year-old Farron, was raised in Tulsa, where he attended Union High School.
03:22He loved music and dreamed of becoming a rapper.
03:26He had three children and another on the way.
03:32He lives here?
03:33Yeah, he, well, yes.
03:35The woman over here, his, his baby mama.
03:41That's where the guy was found.
03:44Okay.
03:45Has anybody been able to say that they heard one, two, three, four shots?
03:48Yeah, I think he, the guy that we're getting ready to talk to is saying he heard two.
03:53And the guy looks like he's been shot twice.
03:55Farron was shot once in the stomach and once in the hip.
03:58We heard two shots, we got two casings.
04:01Both of the casings are .40 caliber.
04:05If you don't mind, start photographing, collecting it.
04:07I appreciate it.
04:16An unknown black male ran that way.
04:18Canine tracked for a long ways and found a hoodie, a pretty good ways to act.
04:22But couldn't find suspect.
04:24I got about eight witness statements.
04:28One of our witnesses said, hey, y'all should be having another suspect
04:32to show up at a hospital with a shot in his leg.
04:34Patrol checked nearby emergency rooms
04:36and found a man recently admitted with a gunshot wound to the leg.
04:43We're gonna bring him down.
04:44He will be transported to homicide once he's released by the hospital.
04:50Looks like a camera right there.
04:53He also has a ring doorbell there.
04:56Detectives find a security camera in the house,
04:59belonging to the mother of Farron's children.
05:03Let me try to talk to baby mama.
05:09I'm Vernon.
05:10I know this is tough, okay?
05:12I'm sorry for what you're going through.
05:14We're more likely gonna have to process part of the house.
05:17The easiest and quickest way we can get that done
05:19is if you'd be willing to sign what's called a search waiver.
05:21Would you be willing to sign one, honey?
05:25Okay.
05:26I know this is a tough time for you, and we're probably gonna need you to go down to the
05:31detective division with us.
05:32It won't take long.
05:34How far along are you?
05:36I'm eight and a half.
05:37Okay, yeah.
05:38I don't want that stress on you.
05:39So we're gonna get you taken care of as quickly as we can, okay, honey?
05:45You handle these main witnesses, head on downtown, have these people brought downtown.
05:49Right.
05:50While the team continues to process the scene,
05:52Detective Jeff Gatwood heads to homicide to begin interviewing witnesses.
06:09We're a victim that passed, Mr. Cooper, the mother of his child.
06:13I'm gonna go interview her in a second, and we'll go from there.
06:22I'm the one that's doing this investigation of Mr. Cooper's shooting, okay?
06:27This is a detective ward.
06:29This shouldn't have happened, okay?
06:32But somebody shot him.
06:33So it's very important that you tell me everything that you know.
06:38Don't hold back.
06:43Frank came to see his kids.
06:45Yeah, just got out of jail today.
06:48She says when Farron was released from jail earlier today,
06:51he showed up at the house with a friend.
06:55I'm assuming he lives with you.
06:56No, he been in jail.
06:57We had broke up like a couple weeks before he went to jail.
07:01How long was he in jail?
07:03Two months.
07:04So how many kids do you have with Mr. Cooper?
07:07I have two and I'm pregnant like this.
07:12I need you to tell me about what happened today.
07:16While we're outside, my sister was coming to get my kids.
07:21And Farron, he grabbed the kids and he took them to the car.
07:25I ran back to the house to go get some diapers and the wipes.
07:28When I came out, there was a truck going on.
07:31And I see a family on the ground.
07:36I ran into the house and I tried to get some shirts or something to hold.
07:51You're doing a really good job, sweetie.
07:53Clarification about the black truck.
07:55When did this black truck come in play?
07:56I didn't know it pulled up.
07:59I didn't know.
08:00I was in the house.
08:01Who was in that truck?
08:02I don't know.
08:03I couldn't see in that truck.
08:04It was black tint.
08:05It was all black.
08:08So did you hear gunshots?
08:11Yeah.
08:13Maybe like three or so.
08:18Hold on.
08:20Hold on a second.
08:21Keep on talking to her.
08:22I've got to take this call.
08:23An officer calls Detective Gatwood from the crime scene.
08:28So, I just want to make sure I kind of have an understanding of what happened.
08:32When did, when did Farron show back up at the house?
08:35He was already at the house for a couple hours before all this happened.
08:39How was things going when he was there at the house?
08:42Was it just you and him and the kids?
08:44He was just arguing.
08:48And he was trying to take the TV.
08:51He's drunk.
08:53He's super drunk.
08:56I want to ask you a question.
08:57And I don't want you to take it the wrong way, but it's something that we kind of need to
09:00understand, okay?
09:02I know if he shows up and he's drunk and he's having problems, and you're wanting him gone,
09:07is there a chance that somebody else got called to come over there to help with that?
09:12No.
09:14Are you sure?
09:15He don't put his hands on me.
09:17He don't take it that far.
09:19It's none of that.
09:21It was just like a petty argument.
09:23Like, I'm gonna take the TV.
09:24No, you're not.
09:27Okay.
09:34So, who is ?
09:39What do you mean your friend?
09:43So, was he over there tonight?
09:48She admits there was another man already at the house when Farron showed up.
09:53So, you didn't tell us that earlier, did you?
09:58I was just kind of starting to dig into the fact that I think...
10:00Farron may have showed up causing problems after getting out of jail,
10:04and I was trying to ask her...
10:05They were cool.
10:06They wasn't fighting or nothing like that.
10:08They were boom.
10:09They were shaking hands and talking.
10:12Okay, so and Farron got into an argument.
10:21Okay, because this is what's important is that we get all the truth
10:25because, um, again, Farron's dead, and you have to tell the whole truth to us.
10:41Okay, so this is what happened.
10:58Farron walked in the house.
11:01Farron's home point was there.
11:11She says her friend had been at the house for half an hour when Farron and his friend first arrived.
11:40She says a short while later, Farron's friend left the house.
11:46We're all in the living room, and then he realized that his gun was missing.
11:50She says that her friend claimed that he couldn't find his gun.
11:55And so he asked Farron, like, hey, bro, you know where my gun is?
12:00And Farron was like, no, you know, help them look for it.
12:03You know, he just help them look for it.
12:05So then Farron called...
12:07She says Farron called his friend that left and demanded he return so they could search his car.
12:21She says minutes later, her sister arrived to pick up her children for the evening.
12:27Farron had kids, and he was putting them in the car.
12:31So Farron was putting the kids in your sister's car, right?
12:34Yes.
12:34Putting kids?
12:35I ran in the house to go get the diapers and the wipes.
12:39When I went outside, her car was gone.
12:41All the cars were gone, and Farron was on the ground, and everybody was gone.
12:46And it was just me and Farron.
12:50It sounds like to me why this happened is there was obviously people that got upset
12:55about a gun missing.
12:57And it sounds like it went south from there.
13:00But we're going to find out.
13:03So everything you've told me so far is the truth?
13:07Yeah.
13:08All right.
13:10Okay, hang tight.
13:13So after we cleared the crime scene, a family member showed up and told us about a friend
13:18that was staying with her while Farron was in jail.
13:22The same person at the hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg.
13:28He walked out of Hillcrest.
13:30Officers caught him coming out.
13:31Officers took the friend into custody and are transporting him to homicide.
13:38Now he needs to come in and talk.
13:42Witnesses, we need to still talk to them.
13:51I know honestly this has been going on since like 2 o'clock today.
13:55Detective Vernon McNeil interviews a neighbor who was outside at the time of the shooting.
13:59And they kept fighting.
14:00I believe it was over a stolen gun from what I could hear.
14:05While this is happening, this damn truck pulls up.
14:09You know, like 50.
14:11They hopped out.
14:12They were, they were, they were there to do what they came to do.
14:18How many people hopped up?
14:20The driver was like 300 pound black dude.
14:23Okay, so the driver.
14:24He didn't shoot.
14:25He was trying to break it up.
14:27The driver was.
14:28He seemed like a older dude who didn't know what he just got himself into.
14:33He had three passengers with him.
14:36They were all lanky with dreads.
14:38So there's four in the total.
14:40The guy who got out the passenger back seat had a hoodie on.
14:44He puts his hoodie on while he's arguing with the victim.
14:47Pulls the strings tight.
14:48He gets his gun in his hand.
14:49They're just acting hard at this point.
14:51And he points it at the victim.
14:53And the victim's like.
14:55My kids are right here.
14:58The victim lines like him.
14:59They grabbed the guy.
15:00Now I'm saying.
15:01He shot him.
15:03My point.
15:06And the second one was cold blood, man.
15:09Because he had already.
15:11The first one dropped him.
15:16Describe the shooter.
15:17How tall do you think he was?
15:196'2", 6'3".
15:20He was barely taller than me.
15:22But he was really slim.
15:24He could have been.
15:25I'm 27.
15:26I don't even think he was my age.
15:28He looked like a damn baby.
15:30And he had dreads.
15:31How long were a dread, do you think?
15:34Short length.
15:35Short length.
15:36He was lost.
15:38There he was no other.
15:42He was not.
15:42You see this black.
15:43Avalanche comes zooming down.
15:46Lieutenant Brandon Watkins interviews another neighbor.
15:50All four doors open and people flud off, like three to five people.
15:54And then shots are fired.
15:57like i think three maybe two to the guy who died and then another one to i think the guy
16:01who got
16:01back in the truck pulled the guy that was shot into the car then they pulled the other guy in
16:06the car she says the man who was shot in the leg got into the black truck that had just
16:11shown up

29:48all right
29:54he was minimizing a lot of things
29:56i think he called his friends
29:58and then it went bad from there
29:59once they showed up
30:04we do have a suspect in this thing
30:06his name's quinn
30:09i'll talk to the district attorney jamal
30:11it's almost two o'clock in the morning
30:14detective mcnell gonna run out to the victim's mother's house
30:18we like to meet with the families of the victims
30:20and do it face to face
30:22let them know who's investigating their loved one's murder
30:36the next day
30:38as gotwood works on the murder warrant for quentin caldwell
30:42she gave us access to her ring account
30:45and so i was able to pull a whole bunch of video
30:48at 2 45 p.m
30:50it shows a friend showing up to the residence with a child
31:00at 3 0 8 p.m
31:02it shows farron and his friend
31:04it shows them coming into the house carrying some kids
31:17and then you start to hear her and farron kind of arguing with each other
31:31and then it sounds like it's farron and other friend are talking back and forth
31:42they're talking about who has bodies and all this other stuff
31:504 27 p.m
31:53him and farron are kind of talking
31:55out in front of the car
31:57they're not yelling it seems like they're just talking
32:00so the last recording is at
32:034 35 p.m
32:05the shooting happens
32:07an hour after the ring stopped recording
32:11the ring bell video
32:13really didn't help out on the rest work
32:15but it did corroborate some of the statements that were taken from the witnesses
32:20farron just got out of jail
32:22went over to the house
32:23and she had a friend there
32:26and at some point
32:29farron got into it with the friend
32:32i believe there's some jealousy that was involved
32:34but it may have been over also the gun that came up missing
32:38after the ring video
32:40the friend ended up calling his friends to come over to the house
32:43and when they got there farron ended up getting killed in front of his kids
32:47and she's sitting there carrying his newborn baby to be
32:51so it's terrible
32:53it's something that shouldn't have happened

38:38okay
38:38how many times did the gun go off

38:58no
38:59no
38:59this gentleman said
39:00it was like an execution
39:02this guy does not know you
39:05i'm not no killer
39:06i'm not that kind of person
39:11it was self-defense
39:13he grabbed him
39:15he came after me
39:16he came after me
39:22no dude look at me
39:23do i think you're some monster
39:24no dude
39:25i think you made a terrible decision
39:28i'm not saying you did
39:30but man
39:30what it boils down to is
39:32nobody nobody there said
39:34you acted in self-defense
39:46no you'll be able to see your daughter
39:51how many kids you have
39:52two daughters
39:54you will have opportunities to still hold your babies
39:59and see your babies grow up
40:03and they'll know that they still have their dad
40:11faren's babies
40:12they're never gonna hug their dad again
40:15he's not gonna get them
40:16watch them grow up
40:22hang out here man
40:23they'll come and get you in a minute
40:24all right
40:37he's kind of trying to claim it was self-defense
40:40and nobody out there said it was in self-defense
40:43it's sad i mean
40:43when you bring a gun into a disturbance
40:45it can go south
40:48he did show a little bit of emotion
40:49but it's sad that that's
40:52that he put himself in this situation
41:11and so it took a lot longer than what we wanted to
41:13but it's nice to have that person off the streets
41:25it's been over a year
41:27it's his birthday
41:30he was here
41:31he's been like mom give me the bounce house for my birthday
41:34just so he could do this with the kids
41:38he just loved his kids
41:45but i hate that the youngest when he doesn't get the opportunity to even
41:49know him see him
41:51i was on the phone when it happened
41:55with the baby's mother who was there
42:00quentin got a brother who um he came and saw me after it happened
42:04he talked for about two hours
42:05he told me about the kind of person that quentin is
42:09and it hurt because i knew that if quentin had met farron
42:13under different circumstances that they would have actually been friends
42:24farron was a good son he loved me and we went through a lot together
42:28so we had the friendship that i had with my son
42:33and i it can't be replaced i i never get it back
42:36yeah
