00:28The
00:42Okay, and we have units and routes at a location now.
00:47He don't have no calls, no more.
00:49I think he's gone.
00:51He's gone.
00:54Come on, baby.
00:55Okay, the police is here.
01:07I don't think we're freezing.
01:51You have a male declared deceased.
01:53It's in the 3100 block of St. Rock.
01:58Apparently, it's an area where there's a club nearby.
02:03It sounds like no one's left on scene that was there.
02:08Let's go see what we got.
02:17When I arrived on scene, homicide sections that are working overnight had already made the scene.
02:23Sergeant Constantine, Arthur Hill, and Maurice Stewart.
02:28The scene's completely calmed down from when it happened.
02:32The body's in the neutral ground.
02:34In the grassy area between the sides of the street.
02:37Quite a distance from any of the buildings on either the northbound or southbound side of the street.
02:46So we had, what, five wounds?
02:48Two in the back?
02:49Two in the back, it looks like.
02:51It looks like none of them were through-and-throughs.
02:54There's no exit.
02:55There's no blood on the ground.
02:57The girls that I talk to work are gone.
02:59They already said who he was.
03:02We have Brandon Hayward.
03:03Hayward?
03:05The person deceased was Brandon Hayward.
03:09Brandon is from New Orleans.
03:11He's in his early 30s.
03:16That is the name of someone who says they may have some information but didn't want to talk to us
03:22out here.
03:23I learned that there was a witness who was there at the time of the incident.
03:28She's 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?
04:53Yeah, 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.
04:59You 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 or anything?
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, asked them to come down,
06:12got the ballistics dog out.
06:14They started sweeping the area.
06:28So he alerted over here?
06:30He 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 there were small holes.
06:56There 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,
07:04which wouldn't eject any shell casings.
07:07Generally, revolvers fire projectiles that are lead,
07:10so they're softer.
07:12They're more likely to deform on impact,
07:15so they generally stay inside the body.
07:18No phone out here?
07:20No phone.
07:21Anything else of note in his pockets?
07:27Is that a receipt?
07:28Yeah.
07:29Get a picture of that.
07:31Yeah, that'll be important.
07:33In the victim's pocket,
07:36the coroner found a receipt
07:38from a seafood restaurant in the East
07:41from that same day.
07:44I'll take a look at it.
07:45So he may be with somebody.
07:48It could stem from a fight he had
07:49at the seafood restaurant.
07:50You never know.
07:52So we're going to go there.
07:54Tomorrow I get that video footage,
07:55see if he's with anybody.
07:58Right now, I don't have a lot to go on.
08:00I also need to contact
08:02the two witnesses that were out here.
08:04And I'm hoping that some of the businesses
08:06in that area caught the incident on camera.
08:10So I think, like, 9 o'clock tomorrow morning,
08:12I'm just going to start hit the ground running.
08:14So we'll see.
08:16Thanks for coming out.
08:26We'll see you next time.
08:47Hello.
08:48Hello, I'm looking for Ms. Charlotte Hayward.
08:50This is Detective Harmwood,
08:51New Orleans Police Department.
08:52Yes.
08:54I would like to sit down with you
08:55face to face at some point,
08:57just so you can see me
08:58and we can talk about
08:59whatever you need to talk about
09:00if there's any news I can give you.
09:02Okay.
09:04It's important to reach out
09:05to the family members of the victim
09:07and let them know that you're on the case
09:10and that you're there for them,
09:12but 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
09:22since they were very young.
09:24Brandon has children.
09:25He has a lot of family members,
09:27and I can't begin to imagine
09:29the depths of their despair.
09:31He's going to be missed.
09:34This is my cell phone
09:35just for families and witnesses.
09:37At your convenience,
09:39when you feel up to it,
09:40you call me back on this number
09:41and I will come over and talk to you.
09:43Okay?
09:45Okay.
09:45All right.
09:46Thank you, ma'am.
09:55Where'd that's from?
09:56This was in my decedent's pocket.
09:59It's from a seafood restaurant
10:01from 3 o'clock that afternoon.
10:04I bought some boiled potatoes.
10:06You want to go there?
10:07Yeah.
10:09Okay.
10:09I'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,
10:26so there's a bunch of people
10:28parked in the neutral ground.
10:30There was some commotion,
10:31shots fired.
10:33The DJ makes the announcement,
10:34everybody go home,
10:35the 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 speak camera.
10:48I see it at work.
10:57Hello.
10:58I'm Detective Marshall.
11:00This is Detective Herman,
11:02New Orleans Police, Homicide.
11:03We was wondering if your cameras were working.
11:06We were trying to see if a vehicle
11:07and a person came to this location on yesterday.
11:10About 3 o'clock yesterday.
11:12Okay.
11:13I spoke to somebody who said that,
11:16yes, they have video footage
11:17on the times I needed.
11:22That's been right up.
11:24Yeah.
11:26My victim, Brandon Hayward,
11:28does arrive.
11:29He's in a dark-colored Toyota Camry
11:31that matched a description of the car
11:33that he arrived to the party in.
11:36He goes inside.
11:38He orders his boiled potatoes.
11:41They give it to him.
11:43Gets back in the car and he leaves,
11:45which appears to be the car
11:47and that the witness brought him to this party
11:49in moments before he was killed.
11:52Thank you very much for your help, sir.
11:54All right.
11:57My victim, he's driving a dark-colored Toyota Camry.
12:02It's probably the witness's vehicle
12:04that he arrived to the party in.
12:05So I need to speak to this witness
12:08and find that car.
12:10Yeah.
12:12Finding the vehicle is important
12:14because you never know
12:16what kind of evidence can be in that car.
12:18His cell phone,
12:19sometimes vehicles,
12:20navigation systems
12:21will 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
12:27as quick as we can.
12:37We're going to find out what happened.
13:04Once you're ready to go,
13:05we're just going to follow you up.
13:06You go when you're ready, all right?
13:07All right.
13:10Through an intelligence source,
13:12I found out this car
13:14was parked behind this building over here.
13:16There's a bullet hole in it
13:19and it's the same car
13:21that I have the victim in on video
13:23at a seafood place
13:25earlier in the day before he was killed.
13:29We ran the plate
13:30and the car was registered
13:32to the witness
13:33that Detective Stewart spoke to
13:35at the crime scene
13:36who had said that she
13:37had arrived at the club
13:39with the victim.
13:40What she said was
13:41they arrived at the club.
13:43He told her for some reason
13:44to go ahead and walk in before me.
13:47And I asked her,
13:48why did he tell her that?
13:49She said she don't know.
13:51I am going to call her
13:52as soon as this car
13:53is put into the cage.
13:55I need her to come to headquarters
13:56and explain to me
13:57what happened that night
13:58from her perspective.
14:01And then I can ask her
14:02where her car is
14:03and see what she has to say
14:04about that.
14:05And then I can search it
14:06and hopefully get the projectile
14:09out of it.
14:10Hopefully it's not too badly tore up.
14:12Maybe if I find a murder weapon
14:13at some point in the future,
14:14match it up.
14:37Hello.
14:38This is Detective Herman
14:39with the police department.
14:40Is this ?
14:41Yes.
14:42Hey.
14:43I would like to sit down
14:44with you face to face
14:45at some point.
14:46You think you want to come down
14:47to the building and talk to me
14:49so I can get your statement
14:50from that for the night?
14:51Yeah.
14:52So the address.
14:54I'll send you a text
14:55with the address.
14:56When you get out front
14:57and you park,
14:58you give me a call back
14:59and I'll come down
15:00and let you in the building.
15:02How long do you think?
15:03You'll be able to come over now?
15:05Yeah.
15:06All right.
15:10The witness is coming in,
15:11but she's very hesitant.
15:13We're hoping she actually shows up.
15:14And lets us know what she saw
15:16and any other information
15:18that might be valuable
15:18to the investigation.
15:34So, Friday,
15:36you were at that bar.
15:38Yes.
15:40You were driving when you were there.
15:42I was driving.
15:43It was sitting in the passenger seat.
15:45Okay.
15:45And so when we pulled up,
15:46I stepped out the car.
15:47I'm like,
15:47you ready to come?
15:48He said,
15:48go ahead, I'm coming.
15:49I went across the street.
15:51I walked in.
15:53I seen the people I knew.
15:54We spoke.
15:55And I went to the bar
15:57and got a drink.
15:58And then the girl
15:59who the party was for,
16:01she got on the mic
16:01and announced,
16:03everybody get to y'all car safely.
16:05Nothing about,
16:06nothing was going on outside.
16:08As I walked to my car,
16:09the driver's door was open.
16:11And I'm like,
16:11he's not in the car.
16:12So,
16:13I see a crowd of people
16:14surrounding somebody.
16:16So,
16:16I go over there
16:17and I see him.
16:17I'm like,
16:18you know what happened?
16:19Nobody never said
16:20he got shot or nothing.
16:21And so,
16:21I went back to the car
16:23to try to unlock his phone
16:24and call his mother,
16:24but I couldn't get the phone.
16:25Where is that phone now?
16:27I don't know
16:27if it was in my car
16:28or I dropped it
16:29somewhere right there.
16:31So,
16:31you don't know anything
16:32about what happened?
16:32What have you heard
16:33rumor-wise
16:34as what happened?
16:35I only heard
16:36what his mama
16:37was telling me,
16:38like,
16:38can't be probably
16:39got into an altercation
16:40with somebody.
16:41How'd you leave?
16:43I left when he was
16:44still there.
16:44Like,
16:45when the police pulled up,
16:46they kept saying,
16:46he's out here by himself.
16:47And I'm like,
16:48he's out here with me.
16:49And I couldn't get in touch
16:50with nobody.
16:51So,
16:51I drove off
16:52and I went to the mama house
16:53and I knocked on her door.
16:54It took me,
16:55like,
16:5510 minutes
16:55to even get them up.
16:57The witness,
16:58she's very forthcoming.
17:00She tells me things
17:01that I already knew
17:01to be true,
17:02which is good
17:03because then
17:03I know she wants to help.
17:05The next step
17:05is to ask her
17:06about the vehicle.
17:07She doesn't know
17:08we've already found it.
17:10So,
17:10her answers
17:11will be very telling
17:12to determine
17:13if she's being honest
17:14in this interview or not.
17:16Where's your car now?
17:19It spoke,
17:20uh,
17:20and down with me
17:22because that's where
17:23I had met everybody
17:24at after I left
17:25his mama's house.
17:26My husband came around
17:28there with me.
17:28Like,
17:28they follow me back now.
17:30And my family and stuff
17:32had came over there
17:32with me
17:33and sit down
17:34and talk.
17:35I said,
17:36I don't want to pick it up today.
17:37But then I do have
17:38a bullet hole in my car.
17:39Don't go pick it up today.
17:40I have it.
17:41So,
17:42all I need for me
17:42really is the keys
17:43so that I don't have
17:44to break into it.
17:45I'm going to search it
17:46and see if his phone
17:47is in there.
17:47I'm going to see
17:48if I can find
17:49the bullet itself
17:50in your car.
17:51Okay.
17:53If you hear anything,
17:56please just pass along
17:58any information to me.
18:01The witness was truthful
18:02about the car.
18:03So,
18:03it leads me to believe
18:04that everything else
18:05about her statements
18:06were true.
18:08Unfortunately,
18:09the witness was
18:09inside the club
18:10when the shooting happened
18:11and she was not able
18:13to add any additional
18:14information.
18:15So,
18:15I'm hoping that the car
18:16will have some evidence
18:17that can point us
18:18in the right direction
18:18to find out
18:19who killed
18:20Brandon Hayward.
18:37The witness was
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, and 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, Kevin.
19:31I don't see.
19:36There it is.
19:37All the way down behind that speaker, it looks like.
19:41Winning.
19:43Winning, winning, chicken dinner.
19:46Crime 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.
20:05Phone right here.
20:07Look at you.
20:12Another phone?
20:19Bingo, bango.
20:21His phone's everywhere.
20:25Holy s***.
20:27That one's destroyed.
20:28That's definitely not his working phone.
20:31I'll take all of them.
20:34We found five cell phones in the car.
20:37We'll work on trying to get digital forensics 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.
21:34So fingers crossed that this all works out.
21:38We need some good luck here.
21:57So from what I understand, and I just want to make it clear, you're a witness of 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.
22:18Okay.
22:19I went in there to the party.
22:22I 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.
22:30Three friends, so 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, but I didn't know that was going to be my last day
22:39to 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.
22:51So Eric said, what's up?
22:55And Twin, after he finished talking to me, he spoke to him.
22:57He was like, what's up?
22:58He gave him a hug.
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 when Twin was still talking, Eric got out the car.
23:10And then they passed some words.
23:13Some words.
23:13Like, uh, why are you still talking to her?
23:17It's time to get it.
23:18All the other words.
23:19Yeah.
23:20Eric 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 and 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 and Eric went back to the car and got whatever was in his bag or
23:42whatever.
23:43And then what he did.
23:45So 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.
23:55Yeah.
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?
24:13Eric had on some jean pants.
24:15He had a white shirt.
24:17And the homeless is the end of 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.
24:28That's him calling you?
24:29Mm-hmm.
24:29All right.
24:31This particular witness knew everything.
24:34She was able to identify the alleged perpetrator as Eric Garrison.
24:39Everything she described was correct based on what we had on the scene.
24:44The way she spoke about 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.
24:56And I want to make sure we're talking about the scene.
24:59Does that make sense?
25:01He don't think he's in the system once again.
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 reasonably
25:41the 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.
26:00I'm going to hand you the folder.
26:01You look at it and you tell me if this is the person you know who shot Twin.
26:06All right.
26:06So you look at that.
26:14Yeah, this shot.
26:15That's him.
26:15That's the person who shot Twin.
26:17Yeah.
26:17Okay.
26:33My witness, she identified the shooter.
26:35She 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.
26:48So 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 warrant,
27:00they'll be able to just scoop him up.
27:16Hey, this is Detective Herman.
27:18Hi, it's Detective.
27:20Hey, Mr.
27:21Hey, he keeps telling you to meet him at the house and all that stuff.
27:26Is he communicating with you via text message?
27:29No, he's communicating.
27:30He's calling me.
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.
27:48Okay.
27:48And I'll be in contact with you again.
27:50Okay.
27:52All right, bye.
27:55It's important to get this perpetrator off the street as soon as we can,
27:59because that's a real threat to her safety,
28:02especially if he thinks the witness ID'd him as the shooter.
28:06Right now, I need to see if I can find any video of actually the incident occurring
28:11or of the perpetrator fleeing to help strengthen the case.
28:18Yes, ma'am.
28:19This is Detective Herman Nolens, police department.
28:22Yes.
28:22You know, there was an incident in the block of St. Rock on early...
28:27Yeah.
28:31I authored a search warrant this morning for video surveillance.
28:34Do you have video surveillance equipment at the building?
28:37Yes.
28:38Okay.
28:38What's the website that you use?
28:42If you want to just tell me the name and password,
28:44and I'll see if I can get it done.
28:46Yes.
28:49Okay.
28:50I'll see if I can get that done,
28:51and I'll either tell you that I got it already
28:53or that I'm coming to meet you.
28:55Okay.
28:56Thank you so much.
28:57All right, bye.
29:03I'm going to try to see if I can log into this website
29:06and see the camera footage.
29:09That's cool.
29:09They gave you remote access.
29:11Yeah.
29:12I just want video of the incident.
29:15It'd be great if we had the whole thing captured on camera.
29:19I got my fingers crossed.
29:25All right.
29:28I know roughly about what time the call came in,
29:31so I know exactly at what time to look.
29:33And I was at the scene,
29:34so I know exactly where the body was found,
29:37so I know exactly where to look.
29:40There's glare.
29:41Son of a bitch.
29:44It's going to happen right here where I can't see.
29:47Ha!
29:51Literally, it's on camera,
29:53but there's a glare from the light outside,
29:55so I'm not going to be able to see it happen.
29:57That would have been too easy, bro.
30:00Oh, come on.
30:05It doesn't appear I'm going to get anything extra.
30:08That's disappointing.
30:11Missy?
30:12Check this out.
30:15But this is after it happened
30:17and 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.
30:25Right after it happens,
30:27they'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, Mike?
30:43Yeah.
30:47There you go.
30:52No, ****.
30:55That's my shit that was running away.
30:59There's some video from another angle
31:02that shows right after the shooting.
31:05It's a person running,
31:07wearing what the witness said.
31:08The shooter was wearing the white shirt.
31:11But it's not clear enough to identify this person.
31:16Yeah, I can't see nothing but a blur running.
31:20First.
31:34Okay.
31:35I need your advice.
31:37What's happening?
31:38There'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.
31:48He gave her a hug.
31:49They talk.
31:50It seems like the shooter,
31:52there might be some jealousy there.
31:54And he got out the car and got mad about it.
31:56Okay.
31:56They exchange words.
31:57Shooter goes back to his car, grabs a gun,
32:00comes back out, and just shoots him.
32:02All right.
32:03So there's some escalation there.
32:04Yeah.
32:05Detective Fife is one of the best detectives
32:08that I've had the experience of working with.
32:10I regularly go to him to make sure
32:13that I'm not getting tunnel vision
32:15in my pursuit of a suspect,
32:16to make sure I'm seeing all the angles
32:19as clearly as possible.
32:20So I speak to him,
32:22making sure that I have enough probable calls now
32:24to write an arrest warrant for Eric Garrison.
32:26So just a good witness statement?
32:30Yeah.
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,
32:43apparently 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,
32:53which is the direction she said he ran.
32:56Okay.
32:56And it's the timings, right?
32:57But the strength of the case is going to be
33:00defending her statement.
33:01Yeah.
33:01And so any little thing might help.
33:05I think you're good for a arrest warrant, dude.
33:08If he's out and about,
33:09that'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,
33:21so I'm able to write an arrest warrant
33:24for Eric Garrison for murder.
33:53I got a call this morning.
33:56Apparently, last night,
33:58Eric Garrison started calling the witness
34:00a bunch of times.
34:03So the officers went out.
34:05How many times have you called you, though?
34:07I've been calling you all day.
34:08And what exactly did he say?
34:10He said, tell your mom and them,
34:12I'm about to come kill all y'all.
34:14Tell your brothers to be outside with his guns ready
34:16cause I'm coming to kill all y'all.
34:18He actually calls her again
34:20while the officer's standing there.
34:22He's trying to make it seem like it was my fault.
34:25Oh, I didn't make you put no trigger.
34:26You need to calm yourself.
34:28There you go.
34:28You want to answer?
34:31Put on speaker.
34:33Hello.
34:34I know what time of day it is.
34:37I know what time of day it is.
34:39All it was take.
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
35:01to get his face on the news,
35:03which we hadn't done earlier.
35:05Sometimes it's easier for us to find him
35:07if he doesn't know he's wanted.
35:09He might be doing his regular stuff.
35:12The Violet Fender Warrant Squad
35:14task force with the U.S. Marshals,
35:16they're all actively out there now
35:19trying to find this guy
35:20before he actually makes good
35:22on 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?
35:42Do me a favor.
35:43Send me a picture
35:44of what he looks like now
35:46in custody.
35:47Okay.
35:48Thank you very much.
35:49All right.
35:50Bye.
35:54The U.S. Marshals did their job.
35:56They coordinated, actually,
35:59with Dallas, Texas.
36:01They were able to get
36:02GPS locations for his phone
36:03at a Greyhound station.
36:06They took him into custody
36:07in Dallas, Texas just now.
36:10And that's him
36:12in the back of a police car.
36:14No gun, though.
36:16When he's finally extradited here,
36:18I'll try to talk to him.
36:21So I'm going to call the mom
36:22and let her know
36:23that he's in handcuffs.
36:26Hello?
36:27Hey, Ms. Charlotte.
36:29Yes?
36:30I'm just giving you a call back
36:31so I can give you
36:32a proper update.
36:33So the gentleman
36:34was arrested this morning
36:36in Dallas, Texas
36:38at a Greyhound station.
36:40Okay.
36:41And that's sort of
36:42where we stand.
36:43Do you have anything
36:44that you could think of
36:45that you wanted to ask me?
36:46No, not right now.
36:48All right.
36:48I can't think right now.
36:49Okay.
36:49Well, anything you need,
36:51this is my number.
36:51You reach out to me
36:52if any family members,
36:53if anyone wants to ask me
36:54any questions about the case,
36:56you just give them my number.
36:57Okay.
36:58All right.
36:59No problem.
37:00Bye.
37:03This is the witness.
37:05We'll call her next.
37:07Hello?
37:08Hey, this is Detective Herman.
37:11How you doing?
37:12So he's in custody.
37:14He was arrested out of state.
37:16I know because
37:16he's calling me from jail.
37:19He's calling you from jail?
37:20Yeah.
37:22At the beginning
37:23of the phone call,
37:23it'll say, you know,
37:24this is a call from an inmate
37:25and everything's recorded.
37:26There should be an option
37:28if you listen to the whole thing.
37:29to prevent that inmate
37:31from calling you
37:32if that's something
37:33you want to do.
37:34Okay.
37:35He'll be sent back
37:36to New Orleans
37:36in the next week or two
37:37and then we'll start
37:38the process of
37:39the criminal case
37:40against him here.
37:41Okay.
37:42Bye.
37:42Bye.
37:45Clearing the case
37:46and getting an arrest warrant
37:47is a relief.
37:48You get to give somebody
37:49the start of their closure.
37:51Like, this is the person
37:52that's wanted
37:53for killing your loved one.
37:55But that's the beginning
37:56of the work
37:57because now we have to
37:58take it to court.
38:00So, I still have
38:01a lot of work ahead of me.
38:09So, I still have a lot of work ahead of me.
38:37Hey.
38:38What's happening?
38:40The firearms report
38:41came back.
38:42The bullets,
38:42they recovered from inside
38:43my decedent on autopsy
38:45and the bullet
38:46we pulled out
38:47of that car
38:47were fired
38:48from the same gun.
38:50It's a .38 caliber
38:52class ammunition
38:52which includes
38:53.38 special
38:54.357 Magnum
38:56and 9mm.
38:57They won't be able
38:58to tell you
38:59exactly what type
39:00of gun
39:00it was fired from
39:01but the type
39:02of projectiles
39:03recovered from the body
39:04of the decedent
39:05are consistent
39:06with a revolver.
39:07And then
39:09the suspect
39:10called the witness
39:12from jail.
39:1321 phone calls
39:13he makes
39:14the day he's arrested
39:15all to her.
39:16That's your witness again?
39:17This is my witness
39:18from jail.
39:19He's talking to her
39:20about how much
39:21he loves her
39:21and that
39:22if you love me
39:23you wouldn't want
39:23to see me in jail.
39:24It's kind of frantic.
39:25Yeah.
39:26Listen to this.
39:28Nobody can't force
39:29you to do nothing
39:31so don't do it.
39:33If you love me
39:34you should have
39:34wanted me
39:35in this forever.
39:38And that's usable, right?
39:39Yeah.
39:40It's showing that
39:40he's trying to manipulate her.
39:42At one point
39:43he says
39:44I love you so much
39:45you love me too?
39:45Yeah.
39:46Well then we should
39:46get married
39:47because if you marry me
39:48then they can't make you
39:49say anything bad about me.
39:50How romantic.
39:52If they got married
39:53that's not like
39:53a workaround for...
39:54No.
39:54People watch too much TV.
39:56Legal knowledge
39:57comes from law and order.
39:58He's in custody
39:59so we'll see
40:01how it goes in court.
40:12My name is
40:13Charlotte Marie Hayward.
40:14I am Brandon's mother.
40:18All of my kids
40:19had their own
40:21special gifts

40:25logos

40:27tattoo drawings
40:29he had his first art show
40:31he was about five.
40:33That's my twin.
40:35That's my
40:35better half
40:37my heart
40:37we split seeds
40:39so
40:40being a twin
40:41is like
40:42having a better half
40:43that pushes you
40:43it helps you
40:44not make the bad decisions
40:46in life.
40:48our angel
40:49what's up
40:50right
40:50over there
40:52that is nice
40:54it would be him
40:55to be our guardian angel
40:56because he just
40:57can't take anyone else
40:58having to do that
41:04one of the most important
41:05things for me
41:06as a parent
41:07was to allow them
41:08to feel safe
41:09and loved
41:10and to be themselves
41:12they became musicians
41:14right off the bat
41:15I want to say
41:16maybe fourth grade
41:17third grade
41:18they were already
41:19in jazz fest
41:21yeah
41:21you know
41:22it's a big honor
41:23to be a musician
41:24in jazz fest
41:24like he plays
41:26the piano by ear
41:27he plays the guitar
41:28he plays every instrument
41:29that I can name
41:30like a harmonica
41:32everything
41:32so it's just
41:33it's crazy man
41:45the things that
41:46Brandon would do
41:48were always about
41:51togetherness
41:52love
41:53forgiveness
41:54family
41:55things like that
41:56so
41:57wherever he went
41:58he definitely
41:59made a mark
42:00he made a difference
42:06Brandon Hayward
42:07was killed
42:08for no reason
42:10he had children
42:11now his
42:13family has to
42:15take care of his kids
42:16his parents
42:17don't get to see him
42:18get married one day
42:19and he misses everything
42:21and that's
42:22tragic
42:26there was no reason
42:27for a shooting
42:27to happen
42:29for whatever
42:30perceived slight
42:31Eric Garrison
42:31thought he
42:32incurred
42:33it didn't need
42:33to end in violence
42:36but
42:36case is resolved
