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.
00:20Just before midnight in the Norcross neighborhood.
00:26When a county 911, what location of your emergency?
00:30I'm at the Horizon Hotel off of Dawson,
00:32and there's a gunshot.
00:35Somebody's shooting me.
00:36Somebody's screaming outside that he just got shot.
00:39Planet County 911.
00:41George's fired.
00:43He's on the floor. He's dying.
00:46He's getting there.
00:47He's getting there.
00:48Is he still breathing?
00:50He's dying.
00:50Go police, please.
00:52Go, go, go, go!
00:57I'm Tiger.
00:58I'm over there.
00:59I'm Tiger.
01:00Can't focus on that one in here.
01:02The police are here.
01:03Yeah, I'm Tiger's 10.
01:04Everybody move back!
01:05I'm in!
01:06I can't do the job!
01:07I've got a male with a gunshot wound to the upper chest.
01:12They need to update the med unit.
01:13He's going on responsive.
01:17He's got multiples, like two to the chest, barely breathing.
01:23EMS rushes the victim to the hospital
01:28But he doesn't survive
01:38For homicide detectives
01:40Their chance of solving a murder
01:41Is cut in half
01:42If they don't get a lead
01:44Within the first 48 hours
02:01What's up?
02:03Bryson's on the way
02:04She's the lead
02:05Okay
02:06I'll show you
02:10Basically everything happened right here
02:14That's where he was laying
02:15Right there
02:19We have the guy identified
02:23The victim, 29-year-old Andre Jones
02:26Worked as a logistics specialist for a freight company
02:30He had been staying at the hotel where he was killed
02:33But was in the process of moving out to live with his mother
02:37Andre had eight siblings
02:38And was the proud father of three young boys
02:46Through and through
02:48Andre was shot twice
02:50In the chest
02:52There's a couple of cell casings right here
02:55The casings are both nine millimeter
03:01Camera's filming down this way
03:04We can upload the video
03:06Yeah
03:07I got a good witness to talk to
03:09As far as the other witnesses
03:11Good luck
03:12Because there was about 30 of them out here
03:14And nobody saw anything
03:16So I think he's the most important one right now
03:19I'll go do that now
03:23What's up?
03:24I'm detect over early
03:25Can we go talk over there?
03:26I just want to hear what happened
03:28From your standpoint
03:36He knows the victim, Andre, as Tez
03:40So I came down
03:42He wanted me to go to the store
03:44I said, yeah, I've been on the store
03:47When he started walking
03:48Towards this direction
03:50After I'm walking
03:51I look up
03:52I see two guys
03:54And they talk up
04:05They both had masks on?
04:06That's all he knew
04:08Because when he seemed to jump down
04:10He dashed over to me
04:12They basically just like
04:13Did like this when he walked past
04:16Was he mad at them or anything?
04:17Or did he just say, hey
04:18You know, like
04:19He was like, what's up, yo?
04:21So me and him walking behind them
04:24Take something
04:24Went that way
04:26And by the time we got
04:27He turned
04:28They coming back
04:30So when they cast us
04:32I took on one
04:33Because I think he did
04:34Behind me
04:35So then I took around
04:36He coming back this way
04:37And he came
04:39So I said, hey, tell me, what's up?
04:40He's like
04:41He's turned around
04:42Kind of speedy up
04:43Towards me
04:44Then he said
04:45Just go to the office
04:46And get me the soda
04:46I said, I got you
04:48Got the dog from him
04:49See him, I'll turn around
04:50Bop, bop
04:52He was shot
04:54I didn't see which way
04:56They took off
04:56And everything
04:58The second guy was still there
05:01The darker hoodie?
05:03Yeah
05:03He was the shooter
05:05I see him going that way
05:06But I was still focusing too
05:08Showing him
05:09He's still
05:09Still going down
05:10Coming back
05:11Yeah
05:13Did he call them
05:14By any kind of nickname
05:14Or anything?
05:19All right, man
05:20Appreciate you hanging around
05:28Hey
05:29Hey
05:30Lead detective Julie Price
05:31Arrives on scene
05:34Someone came up to York
05:35About somebody to look into
05:38I was like
05:39Would you at least talk
05:40To one of my people now
05:41And she's like, no
05:42I don't want my name involved
05:44While Sergeant Dallas York
05:46Was canvassing the hotel
05:47A guest said the man
05:49Staying in room 243
05:50May be involved
05:53Got to check it out
05:54But according to the manager
05:56The man in that room
05:57Checked out this morning
06:01I think we're going to have to regroup
06:02And put all the video
06:04And everything together
06:05Yeah
06:05I don't know what else
06:06We're going to be able to do up here
06:08There's the plastic
06:10The manager gave York
06:11The names of all the hotel guests
06:13For that day
06:14Thank you
06:17This hotel shares their cameras
06:20With Gwinnett Police Department
06:21So I'm going to go back to headquarters
06:23And just review a bunch of video
06:25Yeah
06:41So the car comes and stops
06:44On 85
06:45So here's the hotel
06:47Stops right here
06:49The team pulls up the security video
06:51From around the time of the murder
06:54They get off the exit ramp
06:55On 85
06:56Right there behind Horizon
06:58It sits up here
06:59With its hazard lights on
07:02Six minutes before the shooting
07:03The suspect's car
07:05Stops on the side of the highway
07:09They both come down
07:11The embankment
07:15There's no cameras back there
07:16The one on the back side's down
07:22So there in the back
07:26Orange hoodie
07:28And then the dark hoodie
07:29With bandana print sleeves
07:32That's the victim in the white hoodie
07:37So they pass the victim
07:39Like they're thinking about it
07:47And then they turn around
07:48And go back
07:58The guy in the bandana print hoodie
08:00Pulls his gun
08:01Fires two shots
08:03They take off
08:07It looks like he was targeted
08:11They come running back up
08:15You see him go back across the back of the car
08:17With his orange hoodie
08:21So we got some good clothing to look for
08:23If we can figure out where to go
08:25Yeah
08:27So they have a camera
08:29That points basically at the roadway
08:32And that's him pulling through
08:35So that's the car right there
08:37That's the car
08:38It's gonna be a fucking car
08:40Definitely dark
08:42It's definitely a sedan
08:45And there's nothing
08:46There's no cameras up there
08:47That we can see which way that car goes
08:50That's right
08:51Now
08:54Some girl gave a room number
08:56And said you need to look at this guy
08:58Jahari
09:00The man in room 243
09:02Whom the tipster said may be involved
09:04Is 28-year-old Jahari Foster
09:08There's no vehicles that look good
09:09That are associated
09:12And he also just checked out that morning
09:14But Jahari doesn't drive a dark-colored sedan
09:17And he checked out of the hotel 12 hours before the shooting
09:23Yeah
09:25Right now I don't have any suspects
09:29I'm hoping that somebody will call
09:32And just give me some little kind of detail
09:34In order for me to run with
09:35To figure out who these guys are
09:47Later that morning
09:48Detective, how are you, sir?
09:51A guest from the hotel comes forward
09:53With information about Andre's murder
09:56He kind of just told me that
09:58You have some information
09:59They killed my friend last night
10:02I'm sorry to hear that
10:05What was your friend's name?
10:07Dr. Jones
10:08He went by another name though, right?
10:10Because I went there about
10:12That you simply got three million
10:15And a test came out from the second floor
10:18And he's like, man
10:19I fell asleep
10:20He's a little damn gun
10:29She says Andre came into possession of a stolen gun
10:32And was planning to return it to the owner
10:34But he stole that gun while Ted was asleep
10:40And he stole it before Ted was back to do
10:44That's why the shooting happened
11:04Okay, so he had the gun initially
11:06Is what he told you?
11:08He got it
11:08However, Ted, if I fell asleep
11:11If he had stolen it
11:12Now I gotta steal it back
11:20Why does he think that he has
11:23I guess they really made it through
11:25So he'd get the gun back
11:26I don't know
11:27But basically
11:29They're trying to make it seem
11:31Like it was Ted's responsible for this
11:32And it's not
11:34She says the owner of the gun
11:36Mistakenly thought Andre had stolen it
11:39They're saying that the dude
11:41Whose gun it is
11:42Might be staying in that room
11:46243
11:46Which is cleared out
11:48She doesn't know the gun owner's name
11:50But gives the room number that was registered
11:52To Jahari Foster
11:55Did you see the shooting itself?
11:57No
11:57Okay
11:58You were in the shots of your father's room
12:00And I came out
12:02Okay
12:02Any questions?
12:04Thanks for you
12:11So the rumor mill is that
12:12All of this is over a stolen gun
12:14Ready to go
12:14She said that Andre wasn't the one that stole it
12:17But somehow the gun's owner
12:18Believed that Andre was the one that stole it
12:21She also provided the same room number
12:23As the other tipster
12:25That Jahari Foster was staying in
12:28But we need more than just rumors
12:29To put him at the scene
12:38Later that afternoon
12:39How are you?
12:41So yesterday when we came in
12:43We started looking back
12:45Through some of the video
12:47From the other camera views
12:48After combing through more of the hotel's surveillance video
12:52The crime prevention unit has a lead
12:55Ricketts pulled footage from earlier in the day
12:57And actually located the guy in the orange hoodie
13:00So once we found him
13:02We explored a lot more of the video
13:04And we actually identified them
13:07Parking at the rooms to go
13:09Walking over to the horizon
13:11Earlier in the day
13:12Kind of scoping things out
13:14Five hours before the homicide
13:16Three men appear to be casing the hotel
13:20The subject with the orange hoodie
13:22Actually obtains it from a female
13:23On the second floor
13:25As he's walking in
13:26You see the female with the orange hoodie
13:28Just walking down the hall
13:30He literally just walks up the stairs
13:32She's already walking down the hallway with it
13:34It's just a pass off
13:36And she walks one direction
13:37He walks the other
13:45Do you all recognize that female at all?
13:48No
13:48I was trying to get a better picture of her face
13:54When this went earlier
13:55We actually get a decent shot of his face
13:59He walks this way
14:02And then they kind of stop
14:04Then they were talking to each other
14:06It looks like Jahari
14:07Price believes the suspect with the orange hoodie
14:10Is the man who rented room 243
14:12Jahari Foster
14:15The two other subjects that he was with
14:17Come around the back side of the building
14:21They've already got their hoodies up
14:23The second guy actually pulls his drawstring tight
14:26To conceal his face
14:34They go up
14:35They're up there a very short time
14:36They kind of walk around
14:37And then they come back down
14:42So this is the subject in the gray hoodie
14:45He's going to be the actual shooter
14:47Because he's wearing the same
14:48Handkerchief looking hoodie
14:49During the homicide
14:57He meets up with the other two
15:02Once they are leaving
15:05They walk right back to the car
15:07That they came from
15:09And then a few seconds later
15:11You'll see the black passenger car
15:13And the rooms to go parking lot
15:15Come around the left side of the building
15:19We ended up identifying
15:21The vehicle as a Ford 500 passenger car
15:27This is the Ford 500 leaving rooms to go
15:34Once we had this video
15:35We pulled the fly kits and Moon was able to identify the tag
15:40The car is registered to 35-year-old Tyrus Lane from DeKalb County
15:45He's got a very long end plane for staying very much
15:50Tyrus has several prior convictions
15:52Including armed robbery and aggravated assault
15:56The way it looked in one of the views from the night of the inside
16:00It almost looks like there's brake lights on
16:02Before they get up to the car
16:03It almost looks like there was somebody still in the car
16:07Officers believe Tyrus could be the getaway driver
16:12The car seems like it doesn't come up here very often
16:15It seems like it tends to stay down
16:16In style like Dunwoody and Doraville area
16:19Chamblee
16:23Right there at the Motel 6
16:24Yep
16:27There it goes
16:29After the homicide
16:30The suspect vehicle was captured by traffic cameras
16:33At a motel in Chamblee
16:34About 20 miles west of Gwinnett
16:36That's all we did?
16:38That was pretty good
16:39I appreciate you guys meeting with us
16:41I really appreciate the right work
16:43Thank you
16:44Thank you
16:51Look, right here
16:53That's got to be the same one
16:55The team takes a closer look at the hotel surveillance video
16:58From around the time of the murder
17:01She's wearing the same
17:03That's the same
17:04It's the same female
17:05Yeah
17:06When they first come
17:07She hands the suspect
17:09Which looks like Jahari
17:10The orange sweatshirt
17:16And then during the homicide
17:19She's standing there on her phone
17:23It's like she's looking and waiting
17:26I wonder if she called
17:28And said, hey, he's here out front
17:31She's the lookout
17:31Yep
17:34She's involved
17:35She already knew what was going to happen
17:37I don't see how she's not a participant
17:40If she wasn't a part of it
17:41She should be able to tell me who was
17:43We've got to figure out who she is
17:5419 hours in
17:55Thank you
17:57Price returns to the hotel
17:59To ask the staff if they recognize the female
18:02In the surveillance video
18:04They do know her
18:06She's been here, they said, for like the last three or four days
18:08But they don't really know her name or anything
18:11But he did take my card
18:12And he says, if I find her
18:13And I can get a name
18:14I'll text you
18:17So at this point
18:18I believe that the person in the orange hoodie
18:20Is Jahari Foster
18:22However, I need somebody to ID him
18:24And tell us who the other two suspects are
18:28I've got the reasonable suspicion part
18:30It's just not going to hold up that far in court
18:32So I need just a little bit more
18:46The next day
18:47We're about to go ahead, Chambly
18:49For video footage
18:50See if we get a clearer picture of their faces
18:53The team heads to the motel
18:55Where the suspect vehicle was captured on traffic cameras
18:58After the homicide
19:01Daddy
19:07They asked the motel manager
19:08To pull up video from that night
19:15We got them
19:17They are there
19:21Look at them showing up
19:23Immediately after the homicide
19:25Boom
19:40They show up
19:41There's three of them
19:43Two of them come out
19:49My man still has the orange hoodie
19:52Fifteen minutes after the murder
19:53Two of the three suspects
19:55Are seen getting out of the suspect vehicle
19:57At the motel in Chambly
19:59In the driver's seat
20:01That's probably more than likely
20:03The register
20:06That's good stuff
20:09You see them hanging out in the corner
20:11And talking for a couple minutes
20:13Smoking a cigarette
20:15But you don't see what room they go in
20:18The suspects disappear
20:19Into one of two rooms off camera
20:22So this is the room roster
20:24For everyone who's rented the room
20:26Here at the Studio 6
20:28On the night of the murder
20:30Both rooms out of camera view
20:32Were rented by women
20:33Christ can look at this
20:35We're in business
20:42According to Swazza
20:43They go into room like 214 or 215
20:45Both registered to females
20:47So I gotta see who they're connected with
20:50Price researched the women in the two rooms
20:52But has been unable to find a link to the suspects
20:56I have to think that's Jahari there
20:59The driver I think is gonna be registered on there
21:02Still trying to figure out who this guy is
21:04But those are the same exact shorts
21:06And same pumas as a shooter
21:09I think he's got the actual hoodie
21:11Balled up in his arm right now
21:14So I've done two out of three
21:15But I still don't know who my shooter is
21:35Three days later
21:37It's still so unreal to me that my son is gone
21:40Price speaks with Andre's mother
21:43You hear about it, you see it
21:45You just don't expect it to be you
21:49No
21:50The story I'm getting of it is
21:52He got blamed for stealing a gun
21:54But the rumor is that it was somebody else
21:57And he got blamed for it
21:58And then of course this happened
22:00Right
22:01Yeah
22:02If my son had done something
22:04He would tell me
22:05He's never lied to me
22:07Yeah
22:08Never kept anything from me
22:09Even when he died in trouble
22:11As a young youth
22:14I'm so torn
22:15I can't even explain it
22:17This is the child who
22:19Calls me just to tell me he loves me
22:22You know
22:23He's never gonna have that
22:26Again
22:28The kids are torn up
22:30My oldest boy can't even come out the house
22:32It has really devastated my whole entire family
22:36Yeah
22:37Hopefully I'll have some news for you here
22:39By the end of the week
22:40But I'll contact you as soon as I can, okay?
22:44Alright, thank you so much
22:45Thank you, bye
22:46Okay
22:46Alright, bye-bye
22:51Then
22:52The Department of Labor came back with
22:54Where Jahari works
22:57This is the shirt logo
22:59According to the Department of Labor
23:01Jahari works for a moving company in Norcross
23:05This is the back of the hoodie
23:08Can't really quite make it out
23:10But it's there
23:11And then here is his face shot
23:17Wearing said hoodie
23:19So he's wearing his work hoodie
23:22So I'm gonna run over to Norcross
23:24And talk to a manager
23:26Confirm A, that's your logo
23:27And B, who's that?
23:30Because we've only been able to guess that that's Jahari
23:32So I just need somebody to tell me
23:34So I just need somebody to tell me
23:34Yep, that's him
23:39Later that afternoon
23:41Thank you
23:43Price and Sergeant Michael Poppy
23:45Pay a visit to Jahari's manager
23:47He said, yeah, that's their logo
23:49He said, yeah, that's their hoodie
23:51Then flipped it over and showed him the guy
23:53And he goes, I mean, he looks familiar
23:56I was like, well, if you had to guess who
23:58And he points to, on the wall
24:00They have all their employees
24:00He points to Jahari Foster's photo
24:03And says, hey
24:04I got enough to pull warrants
24:06Now, he will be here Wednesday, 8 a.m
24:10Jahari's next scheduled shift
24:12Is in two days
24:13I mean, there's no reason not to hook him up with
24:16He gave you his phone number, right?
24:19His Facebook username
24:22The manager said he contacts Jahari through Facebook
24:26So that was golden
24:28I just would like to have a name of the third guy
24:30I'm a shooter
24:37The next day
24:41Early gets a lead on the third suspect
24:45So I just went to Jahari's Facebook
24:47I went to his profile picture
24:49And just looked at the two people that liked it
24:52And one is this guy
24:55He's got the chin
24:56He's got the short hair
24:58Yeah, he's got the long beard
25:00That the shooter had
25:03I think that's him
25:04Yeah
25:05That's definitely
25:06That looks like him
25:08Demetrius Bush
25:23It looks to me like the same guy that we have for the shooting
25:27That big long goatee
25:29His short hair
25:30Same build
25:35Now I got a close
25:3633-year-old Demetrius Bush
25:41Was born in Maryland
25:42And grew up in Atlanta
25:43He has prior convictions for possession of cocaine
25:47And possession of a firearm
25:48While committing a felony
25:51He's wanted for probation violation
25:52He has an active warrant
25:54For violating his probation
25:57All right
25:58So then I check
26:05Price checks the guest registry from the motel
26:07Where the suspects were dropped off after the murder
26:11I know which room he goes in
26:15214
26:16One of the two females
26:18Who rented a room on the night of the murder
26:19Has the same last name as Demetrius
26:22We gotta get eyes on the hotel
26:24To see if he's still staying there
26:26If I can just get him going in and out it
26:28I'm golden to go search that room
26:30Because that is where they go after
26:38The next morning
26:40So a short while ago
26:42Our gang unit was able to go out
26:44To the Studio 6 motel in Chambly
26:48Looking for one of our suspects
26:51They were able to lay eyes on him
26:53And watched him go back into room 214
26:56They came back out a short while later
26:58And they were able to jump out and grab him
27:00And place him under arrest
27:01For a probation violation warrant that he has
27:04The suspected shooter
27:06Demetrius Bush
27:07Is on his way to headquarters for questioning
27:09We're gonna search his room
27:11We're looking for some clothing
27:12That he was wearing
27:13And possibly the murder weapon
27:15Hopefully we get enough now
27:17To charge him with murder also
27:26The team searches the room
27:27Where Demetrius was staying
27:34We recovered the clothing
27:35That Mr. Bush had
27:38When the homicide occurred
27:40The whole getup was in there
27:43Shoe
27:44Shorts
27:46Paisley hoodie
27:48The whole night
27:49But there was no sign
27:51Of the murder weapon
27:53At this point
27:54We have enough to
27:55Take out arrest warrants
27:56Take him to jail
27:57We're about to go
27:58Talk to him now
27:59We're at headquarters
28:00And see what he has to say
28:08Hey ma'am
28:09Good
28:10I'm Detective Price
28:12Detective Swazzle
28:14Oh, Price Swazzle
28:15Yes
28:17And you're Mr. Bush?
28:19Yes
28:19Okay
28:20So have you ever been to the Horizon?
28:24No, I don't go through the Horizon
28:26Well, on Wednesday
28:27There was a homicide
28:29That occurred there
28:30And there was clothing
28:32Specific with the shooter
28:34At the homicide
28:35Okay
28:36That clothing was found
28:37In your room
28:38All right
28:38So
28:39No kid
28:40No
28:41So you're getting charged
28:42With malice murder
28:43Felony murder
28:46Possession of a firearm
28:47And possession by a convicted felon
28:49Okay
28:49Yeah
28:54So here's the thing
28:55There's enough probable cause
28:56To talk to a judge
28:58To get these warrants
28:59We're not playing with
29:01I need a lawyer
29:03All right, brother
29:04Gotcha
29:04Good luck
29:13He wasn't having it
29:14And asked for a lawyer
29:16But it's a good feeling
29:17When you got the shooter arrested
29:25While I was up here
29:26Waiting for Mr. Bush
29:27To get up here
29:28We got intel that
29:29There's a dad
29:31Looking for his daughter
29:32He went to the Horizon Inn
29:34Well, the manager
29:34Has the photo
29:36Of the female
29:36That we're looking for
29:37And Casey sees her
29:37Shows dad
29:39And was like
29:39Hey
29:39I know pretty much
29:41Everybody here
29:41And everybody around
29:42But I don't know
29:43Who this is
29:44Maybe this is her
29:45And he goes
29:45Yeah, that's my daughter
29:46The female seen
29:48Handing Jahari Foster
29:49The orange hoodie
29:50In the surveillance video
29:52Has been identified
29:53As a teenage runaway
29:54But her location
29:55Is unknown
29:56So now
29:57We have
29:58Vice unit
29:59Special victims unit
30:00Narcotics
30:02They're all looking for her
30:03And I do have
30:06Active warrants
30:07Out on Jahari Foster
30:09We were told that
30:10Jahari works
30:11Tomorrow at 8 a.m
30:13Hopefully we'll get him
30:15Tomorrow morning
30:21The next morning
30:23Fugitives just texted me
30:24Saying that
30:26Jahari is
30:271090
30:27He's arrested
30:29The plan is for them
30:30To bring him up here
30:31So we can attempt
30:32To interview him
30:34If anybody's gonna talk
30:35I think it's gonna be
30:37Jahari
30:50As soon as he walked in
30:51On his way into homicide
30:54Jahari Foster
30:56Asked for a lawyer
30:58He's like
30:58What are even my charges
31:00I told him
31:01Malice murder
31:02Felony murder
31:02And he's like
31:03What?
31:04And I was like
31:05Listen I want to talk
31:06To you about him
31:06But you already want
31:07A lawyer
31:08And I can't talk
31:08To you right now
31:15I'm just trying
31:15I don't understand it
31:17Because honestly
31:17I don't need
31:18I'm a firearm
31:19Yeah
31:20My firearm got stolen
31:21From me two weeks ago
31:22At that hotel
31:23So I didn't know
31:24What's going on
31:26And like I said
31:27I do want to talk
31:28To you okay
31:29So if you want
31:29To talk to me
31:31But you want
31:31A lawyer present
31:32That's fine
31:32Because I understand
31:33That y'all got a job
31:34To do but I don't need
31:34Any present to protect me
31:36Okay
31:36Some serious charges
31:37Now I don't even
31:39Trust me I know
31:39Oh yeah I'm gonna do it
31:42I'll give you my card
31:43And you can take
31:44This with you okay
31:44Thank you
31:45Thank you
31:45I have nothing to hire
31:46Yeah
31:48We will get you
31:49Transported to the gym
31:54He says he doesn't
31:55Even own a gun
31:55Because his gun
31:56Got stolen two weeks ago
31:58Feels good
31:59That I have
31:59These two in custody
32:01And I'm like
32:02This close
32:03Away from getting
32:04The third person
32:04I just need
32:05That one little nugget
32:06To put Tyrus
32:07At the location
32:09As soon as I do that
32:10I'm good
32:11We gotta find
32:12The female too
32:14Yeah yeah
32:23Eleven days later
32:26So the female minor
32:28That we were looking for
32:29Got picked up
32:30The teenage runaway
32:32Seen on video
32:33Handing Jahari
32:33The orange hoodie
32:34Was tracked down
32:35And interviewed
32:36By the special
32:37Victims unit
32:38They did a forensic
32:39Interview with her
32:40She ends up talking
32:42About the shooting
32:43In detail
32:44At first she says
32:45That Jahari believed
32:48That it was
32:49His ex-girlfriend
32:49That stole his gun
32:51He heard later then
32:53That it was a male
32:54And then she was
32:55Supposed to run around
32:56And try to figure out
32:58Who the male was
32:58But he supposedly
33:00Figured it out first
33:01She knew Jahari
33:03Was looking to fight
33:03But after the shooting
33:05She then realized
33:06It wasn't to fight
33:07It was to actually
33:08Shoot him
33:09Because she flat out
33:11Asks said
33:12What's planned
33:12And he eventually
33:13Confesses that it was planned
33:16And then she talks
33:17About how afterwards
33:18At the hotel
33:20She's with Jahari
33:21And Bush
33:22And Bush starts
33:24Talking about
33:25His body count
33:25And how he just
33:27Killed somebody
33:28But the minor
33:29Couldn't call
33:30Police at all
33:31About anything
33:32Because she was
33:33On the run herself
33:33Being a runaway
33:36The young female
33:37Will not be charged
33:38And has been released
33:41Unfortunately
33:42She didn't mention
33:42Anything about
33:43A driver
33:44In her interview
33:45So at this point
33:46We're still trying
33:47To figure out
33:48How to tie Tyrus
33:49To the murder
33:50And we're still
33:51Trying to locate
33:52His car
34:02A month later
34:04So we're headed
34:05Down to Clayton County
34:08Tyrus has a meeting
34:09Right now
34:09With his probation officer
34:11So we're headed
34:12Down there
34:13To hopefully
34:13Intercept him
34:15The team
34:15Plans to confront
34:16Tyrus
34:17After he meets
34:18With his probation officer
34:19I have plenty
34:21To take his car
34:21I just can't say
34:22That he's the one
34:23That was driving it
34:25But if we go down here
34:26And he says
34:27I'm the only person
34:28To ever drive my car
34:29Nobody drives my car
34:30That kind of stuff
34:31That would be golden
34:32I would be comfortable
34:33Pulling warrants
34:34On him too
34:42This is him right here
34:43Standing outside his car
34:48Hey I'm Detective Price
34:49Just go ahead
34:51And have a seat right there
34:52Tyrus agrees
34:53To speak with Price
34:54And Corporal Rodrigo Araya
34:56Inside Sergeant
34:57Hegwood's car
35:00But I just got a couple
35:01Of options for you
35:04That's your car
35:05Yes that's my car
35:08Does anybody else
35:09Drive your car
35:11No
35:12Not recently
35:15When was the last time
35:16Somebody drove your car
35:17June
35:18July
35:20One of the guys
35:21We stayed over there
35:22At the studio
35:22He said
35:24He had to run air
35:27Who was that?
35:29Um
35:31A guy named
35:32Meech
35:33Meech?
35:49You don't Meech's real name?
35:53I don't
35:58How long did you give him your car for?
36:01Um
36:01Hour and a half
36:02At the most I gave
36:04I got some photos for you
36:06Do you recognize those two?
36:09Price shows him a photo
36:10Of Jahari Foster
36:11And Demetrius Bush
36:12Being dropped off
36:13At the motel
36:14After the murder
36:16That's Meech
36:17He identifies Demetrius
36:19As Meech
36:21Do you know who
36:22Was behind him?
36:24Have you ever seen him before?
36:26I don't know his name
36:28I've seen him over there
36:29A couple times before
36:30Can you see
36:31This vehicle?
36:34They look like your car
36:36Yeah
36:36But you don't know
36:37Who would have been driving your car
36:39Meech
36:40No Meech gets out of the passenger seat
36:42Oh
36:43No
36:43I don't know we
36:44Wrong with him man
36:45No I don't
36:47So over at the horizon
36:48And there was a homicide
36:49Right?
36:49Okay
36:50Um and your car was seen
36:52Um and your car was seen
36:53At the homicide
36:54Like used in the homicide
36:57So that's why I'm here talking
36:59To you
37:02Do you have any reason to be out there
37:03At the horizon
37:04Do you have any reason to be out there at the horizon
37:06Do you have any text messages or anything with Meech?
37:14No I got my
37:15I don't know how to do you
37:16Would you mind if we took a look at your phone?
37:19Just to kind of confirm that
37:20Yeah
37:21Tyrus hands over his phone
37:24So what we're going to be doing
37:26Is taking your car
37:29Up to Gwinnett County
37:30Police headquarters
37:31And then once we're done with the car
37:32I'll call you
37:34All right
37:34That's cool
37:35All right
37:35I appreciate you talking with us
37:45You're good to go
37:46All right
37:47Thank you
37:52I'm still convinced it's him
37:53Yeah story still doesn't make sense
37:55It doesn't make sense
37:57It just sucks
37:58It's like you know it's him
37:59But you just don't have enough
38:01The last thing you have is going to be his phone
38:04I know
38:18One week later
38:20I did a search for it on the car
38:21There was nothing remarkable in the car
38:27This here is Tyrus Lane's phone
38:32It seems like on the 17th through the 18th
38:36He deleted all his stuff
38:40But if you go into Google
38:43The day of the homicide
38:4510.30 he's searching for Studio 6
38:48Which is where I believe Demetrius and Jahari were picked up from
38:53About an hour before the 911 call
38:56Tyrus searched for directions to the motel in Shambly
38:59Where Demetrius was staying with his relative
39:03Then at 11.40 he puts the Studio 6 back into his maps
39:08Seven minutes before the shooting
39:10While his car was parked in the exit ramp near the crime scene
39:13Tyrus searched for directions back to the same motel
39:17Then just like an hour or so after the homicide
39:20He's searching Google Help
39:22To delete his browser history
39:24In both his search browser and maps
39:28Yeah so it's hard to say that he wasn't involved
39:33I have asked for indictment on this
39:35By the DA's office
39:37Price will wait for the district attorney to decide
39:40If there's enough evidence to charge Tyrus Lane
39:42With the murder of Andre Jones
39:45I feel good about it now
39:47I think it's a pretty solid case
39:49Against those three
39:53Obviously Andre didn't deserve to die
39:56I think he was just
39:57An unfortunate target of bad rumors
40:16I think it's a pretty solid case
40:18I think it's a pretty solid case
40:18I think it's a pretty solid case
40:18I think it's a pretty solid case
40:19I think it's a pretty solid case
40:19I think it's a pretty solid case
40:19I think it's a pretty solid case
40:20I think it's a pretty solid case
40:20I think it's a pretty solid case
40:20I think it's a pretty solid case
40:23I think it's a pretty solid case
40:34one month after andre was killed thank you you're welcome beautiful his family and friends
40:42gather to celebrate his life on his mother's birthday
40:49you know that when he was little he looked just like you
40:57i thank everybody for being here and i appreciate y'all celebrating my birthday with me andre
41:05i know everybody here is still hurting i know we're all grieving and maybe this will finally
41:11give us that closure we need to continue our grieving process for me it's a little different
41:17i'm probably gonna grieve for quite some time it's a child it's my child that's a hard pill
41:24to swallow to know that his life was cut short and especially by gun violence so i'm hoping that
41:32many of you or all of you will help me take up that mantle in helping with reform for gun
41:38violence
41:39so that we can help with some change especially in our communities
41:46i'm trying not to have hate and vengeance i'm trying but i can't believe someone stole his
41:51life like that there are days when i just can't breathe and i literally break down
41:58someone told me that our children are not ours god gave them to us forever long and he's called
42:04him back home so if i look at it like that then i look at it like my son was
42:09here for a purpose
42:11i think his death and the way he died was what he wanted me to do pick up that mantle
42:17and make
42:18change help with reform so maybe that's my purpose now and he gave it to me
42:25it's senseless gun violence is senseless come on let's let's do better it's time because this is ridiculous
42:39great
42:46you
