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.
00:24911, please, paramedical.
00:26Believe in medical, someone just got shot like five times.
00:31Do you see the person who got shot?
00:32They're laying on the floor.
00:34There's so many people out here.
00:37Not one.
00:37There's a man shot.
00:39He's still breathing.
00:40And he got on light pulse.
00:42Did you see who shot them?
00:43I just heard it.
00:45Dude is bleeding out right here.
00:46Y'all need to hurry up.
00:47They need to come back.
00:51Oh, hell.
00:52Shot five or six times.
00:53Yeah, get everybody.
00:54Okay, let's roll.
00:56I'm done.
00:59I'm done.
01:00I'm done.
01:01When police and EMS arrive,
01:02Get back up, I'm done, I'm done.
01:03Pick back up.
01:04They find the gunshot victim...
01:06Dead.
01:08I'm done.
01:08I'm done.
01:09I need to stay focused.
01:09This is the most possible.
01:11Perfect.
01:12Perfect.
01:13Perfect.
01:21For homicide detectives, their chance of solving a murder is cut in half
01:26if they don't get a lead within the first 48 hours.
01:45Detective Mark Kennedy will lead the investigation.
01:49It's a weird scene at.
01:50It's right around here.
01:58What's the victim's name?
02:00Isaac Walker.
02:0521-year-old Isaac Walker was a senior at Langston University.
02:11He was a linebacker on the college football team and spent his free time fixing motorbikes.
02:17An only child, Isaac leaves behind his mother and a large extended family.
02:31Man, he hit him at close range.
02:32Isaac was shot seven times.
02:37He got his rifle casings.
02:39Really?
02:40They look like .223 or?
02:42Yeah.
02:44CSI collects seven .223 rifle casings.
02:48His cell phone's over there.
02:55When he pulled up, there were 30 people.
02:57I had everybody that supposedly saw anything do with it, they would take it downtown.
03:03Patrol transported several witnesses to homicide for questioning.
03:08I spoke with a friend of the victim.
03:10The victim had been living with him for the past couple of days.
03:12But he, himself, was not at the apartment complex when the victim was shot.
03:17He was at the store.
03:18Right.
03:21We've worked a few murders at this complex before.
03:25They're in the camera in here.
03:27The complex doesn't have any surveillance video.
03:31This is mine right here.
03:33He's speaking wrong.
03:34OK.
03:35Ms. Walker, I'm Detective Kennedy.
03:37I'm going to be the one that's got this case.
03:39Reggie's my backer.
03:40Sorry for your loss.
03:43Come on.
03:44We're going to take you down and we just want to get all the information we can from you.
03:48Yeah.
03:48All right.
03:55One hour in, the team gets a lead.
03:58She said, as soon as they ran in that corner, they pulled up a big gun.
04:02A witness saw two men wearing baseball hats, heading toward the crime scene with a rifle.
04:08Those two baseball cats primed by their car, you guys had them all.
04:12When the two men fled, they dropped their hats.
04:16So the hats are going to belong to our suspects?
04:18Yeah.
04:24It says, love having the other side.
04:26All right.
04:31It says, loyalty is royalty.
04:35That'll stand out.
04:36If we're lucky, we got DNA on the hats.
04:40Right now, we're in the very infant stages of this, and I don't know where it's going to
04:44lead us.
04:51All right, Reg, you ready to start interviewing?
04:53Are we going to knock everybody out and do mom laughs?
04:55Yes.
05:01Hey, my name is Reggie.
05:03I'm a homicide detective.
05:05My name is Detective Kennedy, okay?
05:08Mm-hmm.
05:09Kennedy and Detective Reggie Warren split up to interview the witnesses.
05:13I'm the one that's going to be working this case and trying to figure out who did this
05:16to Isaac, okay?
05:18Yes, sir.
05:19When the shooting happened, can you tell me where you were at?
05:23I was on the other side of the building, and I seen the two people walking.
05:27They was coming in the gate.
05:28Did they walk into the complex, or did they get out of a car?
05:31I just seen them walking on the sidewalk, and then I seen the gun in his pants, and then
05:36they were walking up.
05:37They had a ski mask on, and I walked in front of them.
05:40He says he passed the two suspects as they were headed toward the apartment where Isaac
05:44was shot.
05:46Then I looked back, healed up, and put the gun out.
05:51I was running four-speed, and then we were like, va, va, va.
05:55Both of them had masks on.
05:58Did they have baseball caps on?
06:00I don't really know if they both had caps on.
06:02I only see one of them had caps on.
06:04I don't know.
06:05I know this isn't everything you do every day, man, but I get it, but just remember
06:09as much as you can.
06:11Yes.
06:12Which one had the gun?
06:13I think both of them had them.
06:15Was it like a pistol, or was it like a rifle?
06:18It was a big gun.
06:19Clip.
06:21Gotcha.
06:22Is that all you know?
06:23Mm-hmm.
06:25All right.
06:27Down the hall.
06:28Do you hear the shots you just took off?
06:30You didn't see anybody.
06:31Do you want to call for anything?
06:32No.
06:32Warren wraps up with another witness.
06:35Okay.
06:36Then I get shot.
06:37All right.
06:39But he doesn't get any new leads.
06:47None of the witnesses I spoke with actually saw the shooting.
06:50They did see the suspects as they approached the scene.
06:53Others saw the suspects that they were running away from the scene after the shooting.
06:57They were masked up and everybody said they came from the North and they ran back to the
07:00North.
07:01Here's the thing about it.
07:03Whoever went there to shoot him knew exactly where he would be.
07:08We'll get to mama here in a minute.
07:11Kennedy and Warren head in to speak with Isaac's mother.
07:17You all right?
07:18No.
07:19I know you're not, but it's kind of a stupid question.
07:21But I just want to make sure you can talk.
07:25Yeah.
07:25I'm really sorry you're going through this.
07:28How many times he got hurt?
07:30It looks like he was hit multiple times.
07:33He just couldn't make it in the house on time.
07:35No, he couldn't.
07:36I know my child is gone, man.
07:39He is.
07:40I'm sorry for that.
07:41Multiple times.
07:47I know you're hurting.
07:49We just want to get as much information as we can.
07:56You're the closest to Isaac and you knew what was going on in his life more than anybody.
08:01Yes, I did.
08:02So that's kind of what we want to get at.
08:04Any beast that Isaac had with anybody.
08:07I want to know anybody.
08:09He got in a fight with somebody named Javion Washington.
08:14She says a month ago, Isaac got into a fight with a friend named Javion Washington.
08:21What happened during the fight?
08:22Well, my son had shanked him.
08:25She says during the fight, Isaac stabbed Javion with a knife.
08:30So why'd it happen?
08:30There was something dumb.
08:32Patty.
08:33Patty stuck.
08:34He used to stay with me and I had one month.
08:37We was helping him because he had nowhere else to go.
08:39I ain't seen him in a minute since he left.
08:42She says Javion left town after the fight with Isaac.
08:46Where's he from?
08:48He from Arkansas.
08:49And so since that shanking, has Javion made any threats towards your son?
08:55He has.
08:56Yes.
08:57So that one night, he mad at Brad said he gonna come down here with some dudes too.
09:02Who's they?
09:03The people in Arkansas.
09:04When was the last time that there was a threat sent that you know of to Isaac from Javion?
09:10In September.
09:12She says Javion made the threat a month ago.
09:16So it's been kind of quiet since then?
09:18Yes.
09:20So that's the only person you really know that he's really had a violent encounter with?
09:25There was a lot of people beefing with Isaac.
09:27There was just a lot of beefing going on and I just wanted it all to stop.
09:31Did Isaac ever call you and say, man, I'm talking to somebody, they're giving me problems?
09:36He told me today.
09:38He got in two with some people out there in the sunset.
09:42She says Isaac called her this morning after arguing with some men at the same apartment complex.
09:48He said, I need me a piece today.
09:51And he asked her to get him a gun.
09:53He kept on saying, mama, y'all going to have to plan for my funeral and all this.
10:11He said, f***ing him got to see some dudes out there in sunset.
10:17She says Isaac's friend, the man he was staying with at the complex, was there when Isaac got into a
10:22fight today.
10:23Did he say these guys come threatening to shoot him?
10:25Somebody was going to come and shoot him.
10:32Hold on, let's back up.
10:33So he's telling you that these guys are threatening him to shoot him today?
10:38Yes.
10:40OK, that's big.
10:41Yeah.
10:42You know, that's huge.
10:43Yes.
10:44Did he say who it was?
10:46Who they were?
10:46He didn't tell me who it was.
10:48Did he say it was over?
10:50No, he didn't.
10:51He didn't tell me that.
10:53We need to figure out what that's about.
10:54Yes.
10:55And f***ing should know about that, correct?
10:56Yes.
10:57She says Isaac's friend should know who he had a beef with.
11:02Is there anything else I haven't asked?
11:04I don't know anything else.
11:09I can't even, I don't, I just, I just see my, I just, I just see my child just laying
11:15there, man.
11:16No, I understand.
11:17I'm sorry you have to go through this.
11:21All right, sorry for your loss.
11:33I just have a patrol officer over here.
11:35OK.
11:36Warren sent patrol officers back to the apartment complex to look for Isaac's friend.
11:41Hopefully that he can come down and I'll shed some more light on what we need to know.
11:51An hour later.
11:53All right.
11:55Patrol finds Isaac's friend.
11:57We found some information that I wanted to ask you about.
12:01I know that Isaac had been at your house all day long.
12:05Yes.
12:06Had he been beefing with anybody while he was at your house that you know of?
12:11No.
12:13I must be straight up with you.
12:15We talked to his mother.
12:16He told her that him and you got into it with a couple of guys in the complex and he
12:22needed a gun.
12:24It wasn't even that big of a deal.
12:27Who are these guys that you supposedly he's saying you got into it with?
12:31I don't even know their names.
12:34They're just some guys that I know from around.
12:38You have to get more specific.
12:40How did you know them?
12:42Because I'm a street tattoo artist.
12:44I've tatted him back up back in the day.
12:46He just wanted to talk to me about getting some more tattoos.
12:51OK.
12:52How did that get turned into the point to where Isaac's telling his mom that you guys got into it?
12:58I'm not sure.
13:01So did Isaac get into it with these guys?
13:04Did he talk to them at all?
13:06He didn't talk to nobody.
13:08So nothing bad happened?
13:10Nothing bad happened.
13:11That would cause somebody to want to come back and shoot the place up?
13:13No.
13:16All right.
13:17So tell me what you do know about Isaac.
13:20Did he have any money? Was he selling dope? Was he doing anything like that?
13:24Isaac was trying to get a job.
13:25What kind of job is this?
13:28All right.
13:29Has he been into it with anybody lately?
13:39Has he said anything about this J person threatening him to hurt him or anything?
13:46OK.
13:51All right, man. We'll get you out of here, OK?
13:56He didn't have any reason to lie to us because that was his friend.
13:59And I think if he knew something, he would tell us the truth.
14:02He said that the victim was feuding with a guy named Jay.
14:05When I spoke with the victim's mom, she said that he had been beefing with a guy named Javion about
14:10a month earlier.
14:11Now, it's highly likely that Jay and Javion are the same person.
14:17Kennedy looks up Javion Washington in the database.
14:21So that's him.
14:23He's got no record here other than getting a ticket for fireworks with my victim.
14:29But three months ago, Javion and Isaac were stopped by police on the 4th of July.
14:34Hold on. Let me look at this.
14:39This is a body cam from officers on 4th of July.
14:45So there's my victim sitting right there.
14:48You ever talk to police court?
14:54Spell your first name.
14:57OK.
14:58This is a guy they say he's into it with.
15:01On the 4th of July, it's obvious these two are friends.
15:04You know, their buddies are together.
15:07But Javion is a person of interest.
15:11We're going to come back in in the morning and Reggie and I are going to start looking for some
15:16video around there.
15:17If we can catch the suspects with those hats on, we got a starting point.
15:21We got a long ways to go on this one.
15:23It's not going to be an easy ride.
15:32The next day.
15:33We're going to look for a video at the complex where this murder happened.
15:38Kennedy and Warren circle back to the crime scene to see if any neighbors have doorbell cameras that captured video
15:43of the suspects.
15:45Here's the thing. You're not going to walk very far with a mask on.
15:48Carried a freaking rifle.
15:50I agree.
15:53There's a camera right there.
15:55That's a good camera, dude.
15:57Let's get out and look at this one. Let's see if we knock on the door.
16:06Tulsa Police.
16:10Hey, how are you?
16:11Hey, I'm Detective Kennedy with Tulsa Police Homicide.
16:15I noticed you have a camera.
16:17Yeah, it doesn't work.
16:18It doesn't work at all?
16:20All right. Thank you.
16:25I don't know. That might be one there.
16:27Is it?
16:29No, it's not.
16:30No, it's not.
16:37Then...
16:37Crazy, I didn't see you out here, so I was going to try to figure out your phone number.
16:42Two women come forward.
16:44So what do you know? You know something?
16:46I know what was said and it didn't happen.
17:00You want to come downtown?
17:02Follow us downtown.
17:02Follow us.
17:03Follow us.
17:05It can only happen to Mark Kennedy.
17:08Boy, that said nothing yet.
17:09I like that, though.
17:14At this time, I'll take anything.
17:17See, this is why you come out and do follow-ups, boys.
17:19Great.
17:27All right.
17:29So tell me about everything you know.
17:33Jay is from Little Rock, Arkansas.
17:35Okay.
17:36And one day, him and Jay got into a fight, and Jay knocked out Isaac's tooth.
17:40Then Isaac seen him again, and Isaac stabbed him in his back.
17:46He went to the hospital.
17:47And then after that, when he got released, he had somebody drop him back to Arkansas.
17:53She called us, like, two weeks before this all happened.
17:57She says two weeks ago, she got a call from Javion's girlfriend.
18:02She called us, letting us know that they're finna come down here and shoot him.
18:09Jay's coming up here to shoot Isaac.
18:11Yeah.
18:11She said that.
18:12Her boyfriend's finna come down here, they're finna handle that, for stabbing him in the back.
18:17And we telling her, we letting Isaac's mama hear all this.
18:20She says they were with Isaac's mother at the time, and put the call on speakerphone.
18:26So she called you a couple of weeks ago and said that Jay's gonna come up here and take care
18:30and shoot...
18:31Isaac.
18:32Isaac.
18:33And his mama didn't tell y'all that?
18:34No, she didn't say anything about you all.
18:36No.
18:37She had a hard time last week.
18:38That's her only son.
18:39That was her only child.
18:40Yeah.
18:41Did Jay ever get on the phone and say...
18:43He didn't say it.
18:44Did she say if he was bringing anybody with him, or...?
18:47No.
18:48No.
18:48But I know he did.
18:50He's gonna have somebody else do his third work.
18:52He kinda smart.
18:54And last night when we found out Isaac was dead, we caught her.
18:58They called Jayvion's girlfriend to ask about Isaac's murder.
19:02She was like, oh, where this happened at, girl?
19:05Did I know who did it?
19:07I was like, did y'all do something to him?
19:08She was like, what you mean?
19:10That's what I told her.
19:11I said, you are funny.
19:12And I hung up in her face.
19:14Who was **** staying with?
19:17She says Jayvion's girlfriend stays in the same apartment complex where Isaac's mother lives.
19:24Do you know if Jay knows that Isaac would hang out over at Sunset?
19:29Yep.
19:30He used to hang out there with him.
19:32Okay.
19:32So he knew exactly where to go.
19:33They used to be friends.
19:35Right.
19:35Yes.
19:36Before the chaos.
19:37Before the chaos.
19:38Oh, and it's really over ****.
19:40She says the feud started because Isaac liked Jayvion's girlfriend.
19:45Okay.
19:46So it's over there.
19:47The girl more than there's anything else.
19:49Yeah, him stabbing him in the back.
19:51You know if Jay has a phone number.
19:54Yeah, he do got a phone number and I don't know.
19:57Who would know it?
19:58But he has a baby mama that lives down here.
20:00She says the mother of Jayvion's children lives in Tulsa.
20:04All right, is there anything else we haven't asked you?
20:06Information that you think we need to know about?
20:09No, sir.
20:10I told you everything I knew.
20:13Well, young ladies, I appreciate you coming down and give us that information.
20:22You have two new messages.
20:24I just want to know what's going on with me.
20:27I just want to know something about my son, please.
20:37Kennedy reaches out to Isaac's mother.
20:39Hello?
20:40Uh, Francine, Detective Kennedy.
20:42What can I do for you?
20:44I just want to know, have y'all found out any information?
20:47So Jay is our biggest person of interest right now, but I can't call him a suspect yet.
20:52Well, the girl should be the one also.
20:55She has something to do with it.
20:57She says Jayvion's girlfriend also made threats toward Isaac.
21:01How come you didn't mention me last night?
21:03I don't know.
21:04I was just going for it.
21:06I know.
21:07And I get that.
21:09And I apologize.
21:10I, you know, sometimes forget the grief you're going through.
21:14I apologize for that.
21:17So I've got that information today and we're working on that.
21:21But I want some more intel and some more information before I go at her.
21:26Because I don't want to burn that bridge before I have some more ammo to go at her, okay?
21:31Okay.
21:32But I am aware of her and I want to get some things in place first before I play my
21:37hand.
21:38Okay.
21:39All right.
21:40Well, God bless you.
21:41You take care, all right?
21:42All right.
21:43All right, bye.
21:46You know, sometimes we get so in-depth into these cases trying to solve them, we forget
21:51about the human aspect of this and forget how they're hurting.
21:55And I cannot imagine what she's going through.
21:58I can't imagine having my kid killed.
22:01So it's hard for us to relate to that.
22:04But we have to keep it in mind.
22:05And sometimes I get so wrapped up in trying to solve it that we forget about that.
22:10Right now, Javion's our number one target.
22:25I would say right now, Javion's our number one person I'm interested in.
22:28We just got to build a case.
22:38The next morning, Kennedy looks to see if Javion filed a police report after he was stabbed
22:44by Isaac.
22:46I'm looking for a stabbing.
22:48I don't see any stabbings or even assaults that match up to mine.
22:52We can look at their body cam and see kind of if it's...
22:5523, yeah, look at that.
22:59Kennedy locates the responding officers' body cam footage.
23:03Javion, what was your last name?
23:05Washington.
23:06Oh, Washington.
23:07He didn't know his name.
23:08He said...
23:09Come here.
23:11What's up?
23:12Javion, you want to press charges?
23:16He did tell the officers he didn't want to press charges.
23:18That's probably why they didn't do a report.
23:19Probably, yeah.
23:21Isaac got his tooth knocked out by Javion, and Javion and I got stabbed by Isaac.
23:26I mean, the escalation definitely increased over a short period of time.
23:34But right now, we don't have anything to show that Javion was involved in the murder.
23:39If he is involved, I need to get some proof video, phone records, things like that that'll put him at
23:46the scene.
23:57In the first 48, Tulsa Homicide responded to the murder of Isaac Walker gunned down outside his friend's apartment.
24:05Interviewed witnesses who said they saw two masked men with rifles approaching the apartment, and saw the same two men
24:13drop their hats as they fled the scene.
24:15Discovered Isaac was feuding with a former friend named Javion Washington, but haven't found any evidence tying Javion to the
24:23murder.
24:28Nine days later...
24:29We're going to start kind of ruffling some feathers.
24:32We're going to go try to find baby mama of Javion Washington, and then we're going to go to the
24:39current girlfriend.
24:41Need to talk to them.
24:42Here we go.
24:44While Detective Max Ryden and Sergeant Jeremy Stiles look for the mother of Javion's child, Kennedy and Detective John Brown
24:52head out to an address for Javion's girlfriend.
24:56Right here.
25:09Hey, how's it going, man?
25:11A family member of the girlfriend answers the door.
25:14Hey, where's your boyfriend at?
25:18Jack?
25:19Yeah.
25:23How long ago was that?
25:27So you know Isaac?
25:30This guy's the person of interest in this.
25:33Was he back here that day that that happened?
25:41There was him and somebody else.
25:43He says Javion showed up at his house the day of the murder with another man he'd never seen.
25:49The other guy go by anything or?
25:51I don't know. I ain't never seen him.
25:53He says he never got the other man's name.
25:56They have caps on or anything?
25:58Yeah.
25:59Kennedy shows him photos of the hats from the crime scene.
26:04Yeah.
26:05Who's wearing that?
26:07Who's wearing that?
26:10Has she been staying here since he left?
26:13He says the girlfriend may be staying with another family member.
26:17Hey, appreciate you, man. Thanks for being straight up with me.
26:26Javion was here the day that Isaac died.
26:30He said they showed up his place around three-ish.
26:33So I think we need to pull video from like noon to like four or five in here.
26:36The team will work on getting video from the apartment complex.
26:40So that's good stuff right there. We need to follow up on that.
26:45Detectives head to the other address where the girlfriend may be staying.
26:49See it right there.
27:01Tulsa Police.
27:04Hey, how are you?
27:05Hello, good.
27:06I'm Detective Kennedy.
27:08Detective Brown with Tulsa Police.
27:10Can we talk to you for a minute?
27:11Yeah, sure.
27:12Is he here?
27:14You know where she's at?
27:16She went to Arkansas.
27:17She went to Arkansas.
27:19With who?
27:20Her boyfriend.
27:22She says Javion, his girlfriend, and another man she didn't know, stayed at her house the night of the murder.
27:28Then left for Arkansas the next day.
27:31Do you know how the car is driving?
27:33It was a white car with a pig tag on it.
27:44Well, that was pretty informational.
27:50Detective Ryden calls in with an update.
27:53The mother of Javion's child wasn't home.
27:57All right.
27:58We'll see you downtown.
28:00We got good information about the time left of them being here and when they left.
28:06He thinks white car with four doors, not real big, and it had a paper tag on it.
28:21One week later.
28:23So, do we have a phone number?
28:25Really?
28:25Yeah.
28:26The team finally tracked down the mother of Javion's child and got his phone number.
28:31So, I'm gonna do a warrant.
28:33We're going to get phone records from Javion.
28:36Hopefully, that phone will track to the area of the crime scene at the time of the shooting.
28:4825 days after Isaac's murder.
28:52Let's see.
28:54Javion's phone records are in.
28:59Oh, my God.
29:01What do you got in there?
29:02My murder went out at 1741.
29:04Mm-hmm.
29:05And there is where his phone's at.
29:07I got him within a few meters from where it happened.
29:23I've got his phone at the time of the murder right there.
29:28We need to get a warrant for him.
29:30We need to get a DNA swab.
29:37My name is Detective Mark Kennedy with the Tulsa Police Homicide Unit.
29:40Yes, sir.
29:42Kennedy reaches out to homicide detectives in Little Rock, Arkansas.
29:45I'm gonna need to get a DNA swab from him because they left a hat when they took off running
29:50and that came off their heads.
29:52Yeah, sure.
29:52Little Rock PD will start searching for Javion.
29:55Okay, thank you. Appreciate it.
29:58All right, you take care.
30:00And so I've got a DNA warrant being served in Arkansas at some point when they find him.
30:05So when they do that, I'm gonna go down to Arkansas, talk to him, see if I can lock him
30:09into a store.
30:16One week later...
30:17So I got with Little Rock, Arkansas, Detective Stephen Henry to get Javion's DNA.
30:26Detectives in Little Rock track down Javion at a relative's house and serve the warrant for his DNA.
30:32Now that we have his DNA, we want to get a rush on that with our lab to compare it
30:37to that.
30:37Get to be straight on.
30:38So we're going to collect the DNA from Detective Henry and we're gonna see if we can make contact with
30:44Javion Washington and see if he wants to talk to us.
30:51Four hours away in Little Rock, Arkansas.
30:54Hey, Stephen, Mark Kennedy.
30:56Nice to meet you.
30:56John Brown.
30:57Nice to meet you.
30:59Is that the DNA right there?
31:00Yes.
31:01Buckle swabs?
31:02Buckle swabs.
31:03Nice.
31:04We said that night he was up here with us.
31:05Shaking like a breeze.
31:10So we have an idea where he could be?
31:12Yes.
31:13Possibly.
31:14Okay.
31:15Henry believes Javion may be staying with the relative who brought him in for the DNA swab.
31:20So we're gonna go try to find him and talk to him.
31:23Sound of any claims, sugar, please?
31:26We are following these detectives just trying to make contact with Javion Washington.
31:31They were driving a little white four-door with a paper tag in it.
31:35I definitely want to see if it's here.
31:44I'm gonna hit a jackpot right here.
31:46Interesting.
31:47So this might be the car.
31:51Who's it registered to?
31:53Order information shows it's registered to quality cash cards.
31:56Well, we can call them.
31:57We're gonna make it.
31:59It takes a picture of his car.
32:03You can go out there and check.
32:14No one answers.
32:19So we'll go out to the office.
32:20Maybe they can tell us a little bit.
32:23Detectives turn to the apartment manager.
32:25How are you?
32:27This is the guy I'm looking for.
32:30Yes.
32:31She says she's seen Javion within the last week.
32:34Okay.
32:36Then...
32:37Hey.
32:39Javion's relative reaches out.
32:40She got an alert from her doorbell cam and recognized Detective Henry who had collected Javion's DNA.
32:46Okay.
32:47So is he home?
32:49No, he's not home.
32:50Or is he out right now?
32:51I think he's with my dad in Hot Springs.
32:55I'll introduce myself.
32:57My name is Detective Mark Kennedy with Tulsa Police, okay?
33:00Yes, sir.
33:01So let me ask you this.
33:03How long have you guys had the white Camry?
33:05Maybe right at a month.
33:06Okay.
33:07Who drives that?
33:08I drive it sometimes.
33:10Javion drives it.
33:11Okay.
33:12Well, I need to talk to Javion about a case I'm working back in Tulsa.
33:18We gave his DNA or whatever.
33:20Right.
33:21We don't know what's going on.
33:23I need to talk to him.
33:25I wanted to get Javion on the side of the story and see if he was even in Tulsa the
33:30day that this case I'm working occurred.
33:33We don't even know what day anything about anything.
33:37Well, I mean, his name's been brought up.
33:40Well, I really am not going to get into that a whole lot until we talk.
33:43I just want to have a discussion, okay?
33:48I'm going to see what I can do.
33:52All right.
33:53Well, we know the car's there.
33:55We'll see if she calls back.
33:58I really appreciate all you guys' help.
34:03Two days later, still with no word from Javion,
34:07his girlfriend shows up after hearing detectives were looking for her.
34:14All right.
34:15My name's Detective Kennedy with Tulsa Police, my homicide detective.
34:19This is Detective Reggie Warren.
34:21I kind of got a feeling you probably know what we're here about.
34:24Yes.
34:25What do you think we're here about?
34:26About a death that occurred, I think, last month.
34:29I think his name is Isaac.
34:31I've seen him a couple times.
34:33Did you know he got murdered?
34:36Not until my auntie called me and told me.
34:40Where were you at whenever she called you?
34:42I was in Arkansas.
34:44Or in Arkansas.
34:45I was with my friend.
34:46Who's your friend?
34:47Jay.
34:49Okay, so you know Isaac.
34:52I didn't really know him. I've seen him a couple times.
34:53Everybody knows you all know each other.
34:56You.
34:56Hold on.
34:57Just let me finish before you start interrupting me.
34:59Because I want to tell you what I found out.
35:02Okay?
35:02Without even talking to you.
35:04You and Isaac and Jay and everybody was cool.
35:08At some point, Isaac and Jay become uncool, okay?
35:12And they got into a fight.
35:14Isaac stabbed Jay.
35:16I know he went to the hospital.
35:18And he went back to Little Rock after that, didn't he?
35:20The same day, yes.
35:24When did Jay come to Tulsa?
35:27They came to Tulsa on the 14th.
35:29She says the day Isaac was murdered,
35:32Javion came back to Tulsa with a friend.
35:34Who's his friend?
35:36I don't know his friend.
35:37And we were at my auntie house the whole day.
35:43Here's the thing.
35:44You seem like an intelligent girl.
35:46And I don't want you to screw your life up.
35:49Because this is a murder investigation.
35:51And I know that Javion is the one that killed Isaac.
35:55Okay, let me tell you.
35:57You'd have to know something about that.
35:58And I'm going to tell you why.
35:59Because you just locked yourself into a story
36:02about these young men being with you the whole time
36:04at your auntie's house.
36:06I got Javion's phone number.
36:08And guess what?
36:10I can put his phone at Sunset Plaza.
36:25I don't know nothing about that.
36:27You've got to know about that
36:28because you said they were with you the whole time.
36:30I don't know anything about that.
36:33Okay.
36:34Guess what else I got.
36:36I really don't care.
36:37No, you probably need to.
36:38I want to show you something.
36:41See if you recognize this.
36:46No, I do not.
36:46You don't recognize that?
36:48No, I do not.
36:48You recognize that?
36:49No, I do not.
36:50The two hats that they were wearing that day?
36:51You don't recognize those?
36:52I don't recognize those hats.
36:53Sure you don't.
36:55I don't.
36:57I don't.
36:58All right.
36:59Well, I can see we're not going to get anywhere with you.
37:02So here's what I'm going to tell you.
37:04I've got enough probable cause at this point that Javion killed Isaac.
37:09And you know that.
37:10And I know that.
37:11And you don't want to talk about that.
37:12Well, I don't know what you're talking about.
37:13Oh, yeah, you do.
37:15Ma'am, you know, I've been doing this for a long time.
37:17And I don't have to know somebody very well to know when they're lying to me.
37:21Well, I'm telling you I'm not lying.
37:22Okay.
37:22I'm done.
37:24And you're welcome to get out of here.
37:27You're welcome.
37:31I was losing my patience.
37:32I was going to get ugly there if I didn't get out of there with her.
37:35And she wasn't going to come off of it.
37:38It doesn't matter if people are going to talk to us or not.
37:41We're going to try to find things that we don't need witnesses for.
37:45You know, such as videos, such as DNA.
37:48Sometimes we have to do it the hard way.
37:54The next day.
37:59Well, here it is.
38:00The team gets video from the apartment complex,
38:03where Javion's girlfriend was staying on the day of the murder.
38:07Well, there it is.
38:09So the car's backing up right there.
38:11You can see it.
38:13You can even see the paper tag.
38:16If I could just catch one of them knuckleheads with that freaking hat on.
38:21But you can't tell who's in there.
38:26And then it leaves in about 518.
38:31It's about a seven or eight minute drive to the crime scene.
38:36Kennedy turns to surveillance video the team recovered from a business next to the crime scene.
38:44Yeah, about 537.
38:47Seven minutes before the 911 call, the same white Camry pulls into the complex.
38:52Same front end, same type of vehicle, same headlights.
38:58So yeah, we've got a vehicle that matches the description of Javion Washington entering the crime scene at near the
39:07time of the murder.
39:09Looking at the totality of this whole investigation, we have motive, we have means, and we have opportunity.
39:18Javion and Isaac were obviously feuding.
39:21And I got Javion's cell phone hitting off a tower in direct direction of where the crime occurred and then
39:32the vehicle in that complex at the same time.
39:35We have plenty enough for a first degree murder charge on Javion Washington.
39:41My belief is he's in Little Rock, Arkansas.
39:44I've contacted Detective Henry with the homicide unit there.
39:49They're on it.
39:50We'll put his face on the news.
39:53We'll see if we can get him to either give himself up or be apprehended.
40:02New at 9, detectives believe a Tulsa murder suspect may be in Arkansas.
40:06Now, police in Little Rock, Arkansas posted this digital wanted poster of Washington today.
40:18Three months after Isaac was murdered, we had Little Rock PD trying to find Javion Washington.
40:25They put out media release that he was wanted for a murder in Tulsa.
40:29I guess it was enough pressure on him that he decided to come turn himself into the Tulsa County Jail.
40:35Tried to go talk to him, but he requested an attorney.
40:39So he's been booked in on one count of first degree murder.
40:49Kennedy calls Isaac's mother.
40:51Hello?
40:52Hey, it's Detective Kennedy.
40:54I just want to let you know that Javion is in custody.
40:59You're very welcome.
41:00He's in the Tulsa County Jail right now.
41:03Thank you, thank you.
41:04So now we just start the court process.
41:07It's going to be a lengthy time, so just get prepared.
41:10It doesn't happen overnight.
41:11OK.
41:12All right?
41:13All right.
41:14Take care.
41:17I think she's just happy he's in custody.
41:20Obviously, there's a second person.
41:21We would love to know who that is.
41:23So I'll keep trying to work on that and figure out who that could be.
41:26...
41:30...
41:40...
41:41...
41:56Guys that used to be friends, one's dead at the hands of the other.
42:02It's sad, it's unnecessary.
42:04It could have easily been avoided by just walking away or just being men and sitting there talking about it.
42:13The younger generation, they don't seem to have those coping skills.
42:18If it's such a situation that you think that violence could occur, call the police.
42:23Have us come out there.
42:25You know, we have officers that are highly trained to resolve high-stress situations.
42:32There's nothing worth taking another life.
