00:30How do you know my mom?
00:30What's the location of your emergency?
00:32Hello, yeah.
00:33I have someone who got shot on St. Rock,
00:35and he got a post, but he's not responding.
00:39What's the call street?
00:40Are you seeing an address?
00:42St. Rock and Trugger.
00:43Okay, and we have units in St. Rock
00:45to the location now.
00:47He don't have no calls, so low.
00:49I think he's gone.
00:51He's gone.
00:52He's gone.
00:53Come on, baby.
00:55Okay, the police is here.
01:18All right, we got EMS.
01:19The EMS is here.
01:20Step back.
01:20Come in, step back.
01:24Yeah, I don't think he's a reason.
01:28Yo, we coming.
01:30It looks like he's not a friend.
01:31I don't know.
01:32We're coming.
01:32Shut up!
01:32We're in that car, fuck!
01:35I don't know.
01:36I don't know.
01:37I don't know.
01:38I don't know.
01:52We have a male declared deceased.
01:54It's in the 3100 block of St. Rock.
01:57Apparently, 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 the
02:22scene.
02:23Sergeant Constantine, Arthur Hill, and Maurice Stewart.
02:28Scenes 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, quite
02:38a distance from any of the buildings on either the northbound or southbound side of the 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 talked to were called Golan.
02:59They already said who he was.
03:02We have Brandon Hayward.
03:03Hayward?
03:04The 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 talk
03:21to 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.
03:42And she 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.
04:09And 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.
04:52Do 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 okay.
04:58We call him Twin.
04:59He go by Twin?
05:00Mm-hmm.
05:02That's the bar where everybody was at.
05:04Okay.
05:05That's where everyone was right before they came here?
05:08Mm-hmm.
05:09Okay.
05:10The witnesses told me that they were at another bar with the victim right 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.
05:28It looked like some decent cameras on the outside of that.
05:32I just write warrants and rip everything.
05:34We'll come back tomorrow.
05:37No dice, man.
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,
05:58what casings.
05:59If you get casings, ultimately later, you can find a murder weapon
06:04and you can positively match the murder weapon to the scene.
06:08So I called the K-9 officers, asking them to come down, got the ballistics dog out.
06:14They started sweeping the area.
06:28So he alerted over here?
06:30You gave me some interest in this area.
06:33You find a couple, you know lunch is 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.
07:18No phone out here?
07:19No phone.
07:21Anything else of note in his pockets?
07:27So is that a receipt?
07:28Yeah.
07:29Get a picture of that.
07:30Yeah, 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.
07:47It could stem from a fight he had at the seafood restaurant.
07:50You never know.
07:52So we're going to go there tomorrow and get that video footage, see if he's with anybody.
07:58Right 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 going to start to hit the ground running.
08:14So we'll see.
08:16Thanks for coming out.
08:42Thanks for coming out.
08:47Hello.
08:48Hello.
08:48I'm looking for Ms. Charlotte Hayward.
08:50This is Detective Harmwood, New Orleans Police Department.
08:52Yes.
08:54I would like to sit down with you face to face at some point, just so you can see me
08:58and we can talk about whatever you need to talk about, if there's any news I can give you.
09:02Okay.
09:03It's important to reach out to the family members of the victim and let them know that you're on the
09:10case 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.
09:19They've been involved in making music since they were very young.
09:24Brandon has children.
09:25He has a lot of family members and I can't begin to imagine the depths of their despair.
09:31He's going to be missed.
09:34This is my cell phone just for families and witnesses.
09:37At your convenience, when you feel up to it, you call me back on this number and I will come
09:42over and talk to you.
09:43Okay?
09:44Okay.
09:45All right.
09:46Thank you, ma'am.
09:55Where that's from?
09:56This was in my decision's pocket.
09:59It's from a seafood restaurant from 3 o'clock that afternoon.
10:04Bought some boiled potatoes.
10:06You want to go there?
10:07Yeah.
10:08Okay.
10:10I'll ride with you over there.
10:11All right.
10:13I don't want you to have to do anything by yourself.
10:16That's why I love you.
10:22Tell me the gist of what happened.
10:25Apparently there was a party.
10:27So there's a bunch of people parked in a neutral ground.
10:30There was some commotion, shots fired.
10:33The DJ makes the announcement, everybody go home, the party's over.
10:36So then everybody scatters.
10:39He's on the ground.
10:40He's got no phone.
10:42Oh, wow.
10:45I see cameras.
10:48I see it at work.
10:57Hello.
10:58I'm Detective Marshall.
11:00This is Detective Herman.
11:02New Orleans Police, Palmaside.
11:03We was wondering if your cameras were working.
11:06We were trying to see if a vehicle and a person came to this location on yesterday.
11:10About 3 o'clock yesterday.
11:12Okay.
11:13I spoke to somebody who said that, yes, they have video footage on the times I needed.
11:19That's a nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice.
11:22That's been right up.
11:24Yeah.
11:26My victim, Brandon Hayward, does arrive.
11:29He's in a dark-colored Toyota Camry.
11:32That match a description of the car that he arrived to the party in.
11:36He goes inside.
11:38He orders his boiled potatoes.
11:40They give it to him.
11:43Gets back in the car and he leaves.
11:45Which appears to be the car and that the witness brought him to this party in moments before he was
11:50killed.
11:52Thank you very much for your help, sir.
11:57My victim, he's driving a dark-colored Toyota Camry.
12:02It's probably the witness's vehicle that he arrived to the party in.
12:06So I need to speak to this witness and find that car.
12:10Yeah.
12:12Finding the vehicle is important because you never know what kind of evidence can be in that car.
12:18His cell phone, sometimes vehicles, navigation systems will show where he was earlier that day.
12:24We're going to find out what happened.
12:26We're going to get justice for Brandon as quick as we can.
13:04Once you're ready to go, I'm 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 over here.
13:16There's a bullet hole in it.
13:18And it's the same car that I have the victim in on video at a seafood place earlier in the
13:26day before he was killed.
13:29We ran the plate, and the car was 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.
13:47And I asked her, why did he 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.
14:15Maybe if I find a murder weapon at some point in the future, match it up.
14:43Hey, I would like to sit down with you face to face at some point.
14:46You think you want to come down to the building and talk to me so I can get your statement
14:50for the night?
14:52I'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'd be able to come over now?
15:05All right.
15:10The witness is coming in, but she's very hesitant.
15:13We're hoping she actually shows up and lets us know what she saw and any other information that might be
15:18valuable to the investigation.
15:34So, Friday, you were at that bar?
15:39Yes.
15:40You were driving when you went there?
15:41I was driving.
15:43It was sitting in the passenger seat.
15:44Okay.
15:45So, 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, everybody get to y
16:03'all call 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.
16:21And so, I went back to the car to try to unlock his phone and call his mother, but I
16:25couldn'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, he probably got into an altercation with somebody.
16:41How did you leave?
16:43I left when he was still there.
16:44Like, when the police pulled up, they kept saying, well, 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, ten 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, which is good because then I know she wants
17:04to 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 to determine if she's being honest in this interview or not.
17:16Where's your car now?
17:19He spoke, uh, down with me because that's where I met everybody at after I left his mama's house.
17:26And my husband came around there with me.
17:28Like, they follow me back now.
17:30And my family and stuff came over there with me and sit down and talk.
17:35Okay.
17:35That's fine.
17:36Don't go pick it up today.
17:37No.
17:37But then I do have a bullet holding 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 so 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, please 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 about her statements were true.
18:08Unfortunately, the witness was inside the club when the shooting happened.
18:11And she was not able to add any additional information.
18:14So, I'm hoping that the car will have some evidence that 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 the 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'll 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.
19:41You're winning.
19:42We're going to win a chicken dinner.
19:44No problem.
19:46Crime Lab was able to recover the bullet that went through the door.
19:50That'll go to ballistics and we'll see if it matches the other projectiles we found in the decedent.
19:57Now, we need to find the decedent's cell phone.
20:05I'm right there.
20:07Look at you.
20:34We found five cell phones in the car.
20:37We'll work on trying to get digital forensics to get into them.
20:41I'm hoping one of them is Brandon.
20:44Because right now, the evidence is thin.
21:06A second witness on scene gave her name and phone number subtly to one of the officers who got it
21:13to me.
21:14That is the name of someone who says they may have some information but didn't want to talk to us
21:19out here.
21:21She claims to have been standing there, knows what happened, why the shooting happened, possibly saw the perpetrator.
21:29So we're on our way to the 5th District Police Station where we're going to see what she knows.
21:35So fingers crossed that this all works out.
21:38We need some good luck here.
21:57So from what I understand, I just want to make it clear that you're a witness to what happened, right?
22:03Yes.
22:05I want to start from where I was having a party.
22:09So she invited Eric to the party.
22:11I went and picked Eric up.
22:13Eric.
22:14Eric is the dude who shot Twin.
22:17Okay.
22:19I went in there to the party.
22:21I didn't really say nothing to nobody and I won't break out.
22:25Eric in the car.
22:26So I didn't know Twin pulled up behind my car.
22:29Three friends.
22:30So he hurried up and jumped out the car and 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 my last day to see him.
22:41Eric was trying to figure out who I was talking to.
22:43So he got out the car and he spoke to Twin.
22:45Okay.
22:46When Twin saw him get out the car, Twin had like an attitude on his face and his whole demeanor
22:50changed.
22:52So Eric said, what's up?
22:54And Twin, after he finished talking to me, he spoke to him.
22:57He was like, what'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 man, Twin was still talking.
23:08Eric got out the car.
23:10And then they passed some words.
23:12Some words.
23:14Like, uh, why are you still talking to her?
23:17It's time to get back.
23:18All your words.
23:19Yeah.
23:19Eric said that I took too long to end the conversation with me and Twin.
23:25They started to, like, you know, raise up to each other.
23:28So I'm trying to jump in the middle of the thing.
23:31But Twin pushed me.
23:32And that's when Eric got mad.
23:34Because Twin pushed me because I'm trying to break them up.
23:36So they started tussling first.
23:38Then Eric went back to the car and got whatever was in his bag or whatever.
23:43And there was he dead.
23:44So he started shooting?
23:46Yes.
23:47When he shot him, he ran.
23:48And he still was shooting at him.
23:51Did you see the kind of gun it was?
23:53I know I didn't see the gun.
23:54I didn't see it.
23:56Okay.
23:57After he shot him, he was like, oh, get in the car.
23:59I said, I'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 what Eric was wearing?
24:12Eric had on some jean pants.
24:15And he had a white shirt.
24:17And the homeless is dead in the tent.
24:21How did he get in contact?
24:22He called me private.
24:23Like, see if you go to my phone?
24:25He called me private.
24:27That's him calling you?
24:28Mm-hmm.
24:29Oh.
24:30This particular witness knew everything.
24:33She was able to identify the alleged perpetrator as Eric Garrison.
24:39Everything she described was correct based on what we had on the scene, the way she spoke
24:46about him, and her mannerisms, and her demeanor overall.
24:50There's no reason to disbelieve anything she says.
24:53Give me a couple minutes.
24:54I need to find a picture of him.
24:56Mm-hmm.
24:56And I want to make sure we're talking about the same.
24:58Oh, that's fine.
24:59Does that make sense?
25:01People believe in the system, won't you?
25:03Okay.
25:05No problem.
25:10Hey, I need a confirmation photo.
25:14Eric Garrison, about 32 years old.
25:32Did you see the hairstyle?
25:34How old is that photo?
25:36One of the detectives in the 5th District was able to run the name for me, find someone
25:40reasonably the right age with that name, able to get a driver's license photo.
25:45He got a criminal history?
25:47Yeah.
25:48In this particular instance, there's no reason to do a six-pack lineup.
25:52She said she knew this person for a while.
25:55So we showed her a single driver's license photo.
25:58Um, I'm going to hang you the folder.
26:01You look at it, and you tell me if this is the person you know who shot Twin.
26:05Mm-hmm.
26:06All right?
26:06Give me a little bit.
26:14Yeah, this shot.
26:15That's him?
26:15That's the person who shot Twin?
26:17Okay.
26:33My witness, she identified the shooter.
26:36She said, his 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 a couple times from a number that says, you know, private caller.
26:47So he's blocking his own phone number.
26:51I gave his name to the FBI task force so they can maybe put eyes on him.
26:56And if they're able to put eyes on him, as soon as I have a judge's signature on the
27:00warrant, they'll be able to just scoop him up.
27:16Hey, this is Detective Herman.
27:18Hi, Detective.
27:20Hey, Mr. .
27:21Hey, this is, uh, being here at the house and all that stuff.
27:26Is he communicating with you via text message?
27:32He keeps telling you to meet?
27:33I keep telling him to turn himself in.
27:36And he's thinking I'm telling himself in.
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.
27:47Okay.
27:48And I'll be in contact with you again.
27:50Okay.
27:52All right.
27:52Bye.
27:55It's important to get this perpetrator off the street as soon as we can, because that's
28:00a real threat to her safety, especially 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 or
28:12of the perpetrator fleeing to help strengthen the case.
28:18Yes, ma'am.
28:19This is Detective Herman Norris, Police Department.
28:22Yes.
28:22You know, there was an incident in the block of St. Rock on, uh, early...
28:30Yeah.
28:31I authored a search warrant this morning for video surveillance.
28:34Do you have video surveillance equipment at the building?
28:37Yes.
28:38Okay.
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 or that
28:54I'm
28:54coming to meet you.
28:55Okay.
28:56Thank you so much.
28:57All right.
28:58Bye.
29:03I'm going to try to see if I can log into this website and see the camera footage.
29:08That'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.
29:25All 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, so I know exactly
29:38where to look.
29:40There's glare.
29:41Son of a bitch.
29:44It's going to happen right here where I can't see.
29:50Literally, 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.
29:57It ought to 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, I can't see nothing but a blur running.
31:34Okay.
31:35I need your advice.
31:36What's happening?
31:39There's a bar.
31:40Some girl's having her birthday party out there.
31:42And my victim, he's in the car.
31:45The victim sees the witness.
31:47He gave her a hug.
31:49He gave her a hug.
32:17Seeing all the angles as clearly as possible.
32:20So I speak to him, making sure that I have enough probable calls now to write an arrest warrant for
32:25Eric Garrison.
32:26So just a good witness statement?
32:29Yeah.
32:30She explained exactly how it went down.
32:34Okay.
32:34So she's got details of the scene, right?
32:36Details of the scene.
32:36She 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.
32:47Do you have video?
32:49I got surveillance footage.
32:50There's a guy in all white running past the camera, which is the direction she said he ran.
32:55Okay.
32:56And it's the timings, right?
32:57But the strength of the case is going to be defending her statement.
33:01Yeah.
33:02And so any little thing might help.
33:04Yeah.
33:05I think you're good for a arrest warrant, dude.
33:08If he's out and about, that's more time to convince her to change her story.
33:14I think you know what you got to do.
33:16Yeah.
33:17It's good to talk it out, though.
33:19I have probable cause, so I'm able to write an arrest warrant for Eric Garrison for murder.
33:53I got a call this morning.
33:56Apparently, last night, Eric Garrison started calling the witness a bunch of times.
34:03So the officers went out.
34:05How many times did he call you, though?
34:07He's been calling me all day.
34:08And what exactly did he say?
34:10He said, tell your mom and them, I'm about to come kill all y'all.
34:13Tell your brothers to be outside with his guns ready, cause I'm coming to kill all y'all.
34:17He actually calls her again while the officer's standing there.
34:22He's trying to make it seem like it was my fault.
34:25I didn't make you put no trigger.
34:26You need to call him yourself.
34:28Here you go.
34:28You want to answer?
34:30Put it on speaker.
34:33Hello.
34:34I know what time of day it is.
34:37I know what time of day it is.
34:39All this was fake.
34:41All I was waiting on.
34:44What you waiting on?
34:45Oh, nothing.
34:47Oh, nothing, my love.
34:58So this morning, I put together a bolo to get his face on the news, which we hadn't done earlier.
35:05Sometimes it's easier for us to find him if he doesn't know he's wanted.
35:09He might be doing his regular stuff.
35:12The vital offender warrant squad task force with the U.S. Marshals, they're all actively out there.
35:18I'm now trying to find this guy before he actually makes good on any of those threats.
35:26Hello?
35:28Yep.
35:32All right, good.
35:32Where was he?
35:33Where did you find him?
35:35In Dallas?
35:37Did he have anything on him?
35:38A gun?
35:39A phone?
35:39Anything?
35:40Mm-hmm.
35:42Do me a favor.
35:43Send me a picture of what he looks like now in custody.
35:47Okay.
35:48Thank you very much.
35:49All right.
35:50Bye.
35:53The U.S. Marshals did their job.
35:56They coordinated, actually, with Dallas, Texas.
36:00They were able to get GPS locations for his phone at a Greyhound station.
36:06They took him into custody in Dallas, Texas just now.
36:09And that's him in the back of a police car.
36:14No gun, though.
36:16When he's finally extradited here, I'll try to talk to him.
36:21So I'm going to call the mom and let her know that he's in handcuffs.
36:26Hello?
36:27Hey, Ms. Charlotte.
36:29Yeah?
36:30Just giving you a call back so I can give you a proper update.
36:33So the gentleman was arrested this morning in Dallas, Texas, at a Greyhound station.
36:40Okay.
36:41And that's sort of where we stand.
36:43Do you have anything that you could think of that you wanted to ask me?
36:46No, not right now.
36:48All right.
36:48I can't think of it right now.
36:49Okay.
36:49Okay.
36:49Well, anything you need, this is my number.
36:51You reach out to me.
36:52If any family members, if anyone wants to ask me any questions about the case, you just give them my
36:56number.
36:57Okay.
36:58All right.
37:00No problem.
37:00Bye.
37:03This is the witness.
37:05We'll call her next.
37:07Hello?
37:08Hey, this is Detective Herman.
37:11Hi, Dad.
37:12So he's in custody.
37:14He was arrested out of state.
37:16I know, because he's calling me from jail.
37:19He's calling you from jail?
37:20Yeah.
37:22At the beginning of the phone call, it'll say, you know, this is a call from an inmate and everything's
37:26recorded.
37:26There should be an option, if you listen to the whole thing, to prevent that inmate from calling you,
37:32if that's something you want to do.
37:34Okay.
37:35He'll be sent back to New Orleans in the next week or two, and then we'll start the process of
37:39the criminal case against him here.
37:41Okay.
37:42Bye.
37:42Bye.
37:45Clearing the case and getting an arrest warrant is a relief.
37:48If you get to give somebody the start of their closure, like, this is the person that's wanted for killing
37:54your loved one.
37:55But that's the beginning of the work, because now we have to take it to court.
38:00So, I still have a lot of work ahead of me.
38:31The End
38:37hey what's happening the firearms report came back the bullets they recovered from inside
38:43my decedent on autopsy and 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 nine millimeter
38:57they won't be able to tell you exactly what type of gun it was fired from but the type of
39:03projectiles
39:03recovered from the body of the decedent are consistent with a revolver and then the suspect
39:10called the witness from jail 21 phone calls he makes the day he's arrested all to her that's
39:17your witnessing this is my witness from jail he's talking to her about how much he loves her and
39:22that if you love me you wouldn't want to see me in jail it's kind of frantic yeah listen to
39:27this
39:28nobody can't force you to do nothing so don't do it if you love me you should have wanted
39:36forever bro and that's usable right yeah it's showing that he's trying to manipulate her
39:42at one point he says i love you so much you love me too yeah well then we should get
39:47married because
39:47if you marry me then you they can't make you say anything bad about me how romantic
39:51if they got married that's not like a workaround for no people watch too much tv legal knowledge
39:57comes from law and order he's in custody so we'll see how it goes in court
40:12my name is charlotte marie hayward i am brandon's mother
40:18all of my kids had their own special gifts but brandon drew logos he did tattoo drawings he had his
40:30first art show he was about five that's my twin that's my better half my heart we split seeds so
40:40being a twin is like having a better half that pushes you it helps you not make the bad decisions
40:46in life our angel what's up right over there that is nice it would be him to be our guardian
40:56angel
40:56because he just can't take anyone else having to do that one of the most important things for me as
41:06a parent
41:07was to allow them to feel safe and loved and to be themselves they became musicians right off the bat
41:15i want to say maybe fourth grade third grade they were already in jazz fest yeah you know it's a
41:22big
41:22honor to be a musician in jazz fest like he plays the piano by ear he plays the guitar you
41:28play every
41:28instrument that i can name like a harmonica everything so it's just it's crazy man
41:45the things that brandon would do were always about togetherness love forgiveness family things like
41:55that so wherever he went he definitely made a mark he made a difference
42:06brandon hayward was killed for no reason he had children now his family has to take care of his
42:16kids his parents don't get to see him get married one day and he misses everything and that's tragic
42:26there was no reason for a shooting to happen for whatever perceived slight eric garrison thought
42:32he incurred it didn't need to end in violence but case is resolved and 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
42:45to give me a statement so i never spoke directly with the suspect and he never found the weapon
42:51i know
43:04so
43:06You
