| 00:00:10 | >> In forensics, a crime scene
is very critical.
|
| 00:00:12 | Once we leave, it'll be changed.
|
| 00:00:14 | With the technology that we have
today, we can use the leica
system to freeze the scene in
time.
|
| 00:00:20 | It basically preserves the crime
scene in 3-d forever.
|
| 00:00:24 | So I'm gonna set the parameters
so that it scans one side of the
fence to the other side so I can
get the full picture of the
crime scene.
|
| 00:00:43 | We already scanned the area for
cartridge cases and any other
evidence, so we collected the
vase that, apparently, the
victim threw at the suspect.
|
| 00:01:03 | The blood spatter that's on the
porch can tell us a lot about
his positioning before he fell
and when he fell.
|
| 00:01:22 | The victim had his cellphone in
his hand.
|
| 00:01:24 | It was broken.
|
| 00:01:25 | >> Narrator: If detectives are
able to restore the broken
cellphone, they may be able to
recover information about the
victim's last calls.
|
| 00:01:33 | >> I have all the information.
|
| 00:01:35 | >> On there?
|
| 00:01:35 | >> On this part.
|
| 00:01:37 | >> Okay.
|
| 00:01:37 | >> At this point, we have a
-- black male,
MID-20s, NAMED
Samuel mackenzie coleman, lives
in the area, from what we know.
|
| 00:01:46 | >> Narrator: Sam coleman worked
as an appliance mechanic and
lived nearby.
|
| 00:01:50 | He was a father to two small
children.
|
| 00:01:54 | >> When you start to get a sense
of who your victim is, that's
when it really hits home.
|
| 00:01:58 | And that makes me even more
determined to find out who his
killer is.
|
| 00:02:08 | >> Well, right now, we're gonna
interview mr. mattox.
|
| 00:02:11 | He was inside the house where
the victim was found, and he had
several pre-existing warrants on
file.
|
| 00:02:16 | How many warrants do you have?
|
| 00:02:18 | >> Four.
|
| 00:02:19 | >> All right.
|
| 00:02:20 | And if he starts acting
squirrelly or acting nervous,
his story doesn't add up, we're
gonna read him his miranda
rights and treat him as a
suspect.
|
| 00:02:34 | All right.
|
| 00:02:34 | mattox, once again, I'm
detective lewis mills.
|
| 00:02:37 | Unfortunately, we're

occurred in front of your house,

|
| 00:06:24 | >> Yes.
|
| 00:06:26 | He's got a cellphone in his

| 00:06:27 | >> Maybe he called the suspect.
|
| 00:06:29 | >> Willie mattox.

| 00:06:30 | We can talk to him really good.
|
| 00:06:44 | >> All right.
|
| 00:06:45 | mattox, once again, I'm
detective lewis mills.
|
| 00:06:48 | ..
|
| 00:07:43 | All right, let me go outside and
make a phone call, okay?
|
| 00:07:46 | You can just hang out here for
me for a minute, all right?
|
| 00:07:49 | [ Cellphone rings ]
>> what's up, mills?
|
| 00:07:51 | >> I'm down here talking to this
guy, and he is telling us that
the victim -- he's a drug user,
crack cocaine user.
|
| 00:07:57 | >> Uh-huh.
|
| 00:07:58 | >> And he was trying to score
last night sometime after 10:00.
|
| 00:08:01 | mattox has admitted that
he'll run and get drugs for the
victim.
|
| 00:08:05 | He did it last night for him, as
a matter of fact.
|
| 00:08:09 | But our guy was down here saying
he was inside, asleep, when it
happened, and his story seems
kind of secure right now, and
he's not breaking a sweat.
|
| 00:08:19 | I'm not getting any type of
indicators that the witness is
knowing something that he's not
telling us or he's holding back.
|
| 00:08:26 | I mean, time might prove me
wrong, but at least right now at
00 in the
morning, I don't think that he's
involved any more than he says
he is.
|
| 00:08:36 | >> Narrator: Willie mattox will
be held in the city jail on
charges from outstanding
warrants unrelated to
sam coleman's murder.
|
| 00:08:56 | >> The blood spatter that's on
the porch can actually tell us a
lot about his positioning before
he fell and when he fell.
|
| 00:09:03 | These drops right here --
they're called falling-dripping.
|
| 00:09:07 | And if blood were to drip out of
your mouth, it'd be just gravity
pulling it to the ground, and
it's a pretty perfect circle, so
that's how you know that it
wasn't a high-impact splatter.
|
| 00:09:20 | Over here, this right here --
this is the tail, so the drop
came down like this, showing a
downward angle, so you know that
he was probably standing over
here, and this is probably more
falling-dripping blood.
|
| 00:09:38 | On the wall here, this is
probably where he fell.
|
| 00:09:41 | He might have hit his head.
|
| 00:09:47 | This -- maybe his hands were
bloody and, as he was falling,
he grabbed for the windowsill.
|
| 00:09:57 | And then this big stain that
leaks under the chair and
everything is probably just
where he laid and bled out.
|
| 00:10:20 | >> We're on our way over to
sam coleman's family's house.
|
| 00:10:24 | We notified them earlier about
the death of their son.
|
| 00:10:27 | So, we're meeting a local
reporter who's gonna sit down
with the mother and the sisters,
and we're expecting to get some
leads and some tips from this
media coverage.
|
| 00:10:53 | >> Tell me, how did you hear
about what happened?
|
| 00:10:56 | >> The detectives came and
knocked on my door, and that's
when he said, "you have a son by
"
"
"there was a shooting last
"
I didn't want to believe him.
|
| 00:11:12 | I didn't want to believe him.
|
| 00:11:14 | I went in his room to see if he
was in his bed, and that's when
it hit me -- that my baby was
gone.
|
| 00:11:22 | He was my only son -- the only
son I'm gonna ever have.
|
| 00:11:27 | >> My brother was a nice person.
|
| 00:11:29 | He never did anything to hurt
anybody.
|
| 00:11:32 | >> Okay.
|
| 00:11:33 | >> He never hurt anyone.
|
| 00:11:38 | >> At this point in time, i
would like for the person that
took my little brother,
samuel mackenzie coleman's,
life -- please turn yourself in.
|
| 00:11:53 | >> Whoever took him away from
me, I hope that y'all catch him
and he get what he deserve.
|
| 00:12:09 | >> Thank you so much.
|
| 00:12:10 | Anything you need, you call me,
okay?
|
| 00:12:11 | All right. y'all take care.
|
| 00:12:12 | I'll give you a call next week.
|
| 00:12:14 | >> All right.
|
| 00:12:14 | >> Take care. all right.
|
| 00:12:25 | The emotion by the family is
what sparks you to work harder,
because you see their suffering.
|
| 00:12:30 | You see their pain.
|
| 00:12:31 | And they're looking to you to
try to get the persons
responsible.
|
| 00:12:35 | So, it's a lot of weight on a
detective's shoulder, because
they're waiting for the day when
you come and knock on the door
and you say, "ma'am, I found out
who killed your son, and they've
"
>> I've just finished up
mr. coleman's autopsy.
|
| 00:13:03 | Basically, this x-ray right here
will tell you the whole deal.
|
| 00:13:10 | He's shot seven times.
|
| 00:13:12 | The first one impacted the
skull, caused a skull fracture.
|
| 00:13:22 | Second one was the entrance over
the left eyebrow -- went into
the brain.
|
| 00:13:27 | I recovered a bullet there.
|
| 00:13:30 | Number three is a superficial
gunshot wound to the right side
of the face.
|
| 00:13:34 | There's an exit wound -- no
bullet.
|
| 00:13:39 | Number four, gunshot wound to
the left side of the neck.
|
| 00:13:43 | Got the bullet out of the right
side of the neck.
|
| 00:13:47 | Then we've got a bullet that
went in the left shoulder, and
we got a bullet out of thoracic
vertebra 1.
|
| 00:13:56 | Then we have a gunshot wound to
the right shoulder, and there's
an exit wound from that, so
there's no bullet recovery
there.
|
| 00:14:05 | And the last one, the entrance
is in the mouth, so he must have
..
|
| 00:14:11 | For him to have a bullet that
winds up in the back of the
neck.
|
| 00:14:16 | >> What type of ammunition are
we looking at that you
recovered?
|
| 00:14:19 | >> All of mine are small-caliber
bullets.
|
| 00:14:21 | >> Okay.
|
| 00:14:22 | >> The first ones are
intermediate range, so there's
stipple around all of those.
|
| 00:14:27 | You see these marks around here?
|
| 00:14:29 | That's gunpowder stippling.
|
| 00:14:31 | >> So, based on the stippling
and the variation, we could
surmise that there were three
shots at close range?
|
| 00:14:37 | >> At least.
|
| 00:14:38 | >> What distance are you
thinking on the bullet strikes
with the stippling?
|
| 00:14:42 | >> In general, it's usually
under 4 feet.
|
| 00:14:45 | >> Thank you, dr. kay.
|
| 00:14:48 | >> When you see stippling on a
body, it shows that there's some
close contact between the
suspect and the victim.
|
| 00:14:54 | Usually, people do not allow
individuals that they don't know
close to them, and whoever shot
sam knew him, so there's no
doubt that that's gonna limit
our suspect pool.
|
| 00:15:09 | >> Narrator: Detectives receive
a call from the city jail.
|
| 00:15:12 | Willie mattox seems to be
telling his fellow inmates more
than he told police.
|
| 00:15:19 | >> We might have got a break.
|
| 00:15:21 | Evidently, mattox is talking and
saying that he had something to
do with the murder of
samuel coleman.
|
| 00:15:27 | >> For real?
|
| 00:15:28 | >> Yeah.
|
| 00:15:29 | >> We've been working to clear
his name, and his alibi seems to
check out, and then he's going
to put himself right back in the mix again?
|
| 00:15:37 | Let's do an affidavit and just
do another search warrant for
that property over there.
|
| 00:15:41 | >> Yeah.
|
| 00:15:44 | >> Maybe mattox wants to be a
hotshot down at the city jail,
get his street cred up, so you
know what?
|
| 00:15:49 | He's a player down here.
|
| 00:15:50 | But right now, to cover all of
our bases, we're gonna go back
and we're gonna do a search
warrant on that house.
|
| 00:15:58 | 0248 Hours this morning, we had
a murder.
|
| 00:16:01 | Samuel mackenzie coleman found
dead on the front porch of that
residence.
|
| 00:16:05 | Small-caliber weapon, so we're
looking possibly for some type
of revolver.
|
| 00:16:09 | >> We're gonna execute a search
warrant.
|
| 00:16:11 | The target's in jail, by the
way, on outstanding warrants not
related to this.
|
| 00:16:15 | We expect his wife to be there,
her mother, mother's boyfriend,
and I'd like at least two people
to each room.
|
| 00:16:22 | Don't forget raid vest and
identifiers.
|
| 00:16:24 | [ Indistinct talking ]
>> I'll meet you over there.
|
| 00:16:30 | >> This guy mattox -- he's
certainly telling people that
he's the one responsible for it.
|
| 00:16:35 | Now we've got to find
something -- the murder weapon
or any evidence that disputes
his earlier claims that he was
inside the house in bed all
night.
|
| 00:16:47 | >> Even though mattox is in
jail, there could be other
associates or other conspirators
inside who could be armed, and
it's a very dangerous situation,
so you never really know when
you go through that door what's
gonna happen.
|
| 00:17:01 | >> Let's go.
|
| 00:17:03 | [ Knock on door ]
>> richmond police!
|
| 00:21:34 | coleman was shot seven
times.
|
| 00:21:36 | >> Willie mattox is saying that
he had something to do with the
murder of samuel coleman.
|
| 00:21:41 | >> Let's get a search warrant
for that property over there.
|
| 00:21:43 | We're looking for some type of
revolver.
|
| 00:21:45 | >> I'd like at least two people
to each room.

| 00:21:59 | >> Step back. step back.
|
| 00:22:01 | Get off the phone, ma'am.
|
| 00:22:03 | [ Child talking indistinctly ]
>> we're gonna search everything
just based on information that
we've received.
|
| 00:22:10 | >> We got detectives in e
house right now looking for the
murder weapon, for a
small-caliber handgun, or any
other evidence that we might be
able to find that would show
that willie mattox had a hand in
the killing of sam coleman.
|
| 00:22:40 | [ Indistinct talking ]
>> oh!
|
| 00:23:04 | >> Hey, sarge, there's some
blood down here.
|
| 00:23:06 | I don't know if it's recent or
from the victim.
|
| 00:23:09 | This right here looks like it's
been dripped.
|
| 00:23:13 | >> But some of this looks like
it's been tracked.
|
| 00:23:16 | If the shooter actually stepped
in sam coleman's blood and ran
past here, he could have kept on
running around to the back of
the house, or he could have ran
inside the house.
|
| 00:23:28 | It looks like our crime scene
just got bigger.
|
| 00:23:39 | >> What I wanted to do is look
at the front porch of the
residence to find out if
willie mattox could have made it
back in the front door or run
around back, run back through
the house, and crawl back in bed
by the time that we got to the
crime scene and picked him up.
|
| 00:23:56 | >> We've got the front porch
here, and the blood starts right
at the bottom of the steps.
|
| 00:24:04 | >> All right, so, if we go to
the front-door area, there's no
blood on the inside of the
house?
|
| 00:24:08 | >> None.
|
| 00:24:10 | >> If mattox was the one that
shot him and went in the house,
chances are he wouldn't have
been able to go in the front
door without tracking blood.
|
| 00:24:16 | >> Without tracking blood?
|
| 00:24:17 | No, I don't think so.
|
| 00:24:18 | There was a large amount of
blood on that front porch.
|
| 00:24:20 | I think he would had to have
stepped in something.
|
| 00:24:23 | >> What's the side door look
like?
|
| 00:24:24 | Could he have run off the porch
into the side door without
tracking blood?
|
| 00:24:28 | >> Can you actually, now,
jessica, go from the porch and
let us view the sidewalk right
into the backyard for any blood?
|
| 00:24:35 | >> Sure.
|
| 00:24:36 | >> There's no blood anywhere as
we travel down the sidewalk
around the side of the house.
|
| 00:24:40 | >> No, I don't see any blood on
the side of the house in the
original scans.
|
| 00:24:44 | It's possible it was tracked
later in the day by the fire
department when they were
washing the porch.
|
| 00:24:48 | >> So, we didn't locate any
blood that would lead us to
believe that if willie mattox
was on the front porch, that he
left the front porch and ran
around the side of the house and
went through the back.
|
| 00:25:01 | And the house was secure all the
way around.
|
| 00:25:03 | That side door was locked.
|
| 00:25:05 | The rear door was locked.
|
| 00:25:06 | So, everything that we have
right now, what we know from the
scene, what we know from these
3-d scans, there's nothing that
we can look at right here that
says mattox is our shooter.
|
| 00:25:25 | Right now, we're back to square
one.
|
| 00:25:27 | We don't have any leads, no new
suspects.
|
| 00:25:33 | I think it frustrates any
detective that's involved in a
major case that their leads turn
up to be dead ends, but you
never know until you follow
those leads all the way until
you can't follow them anymore.
|
| 00:25:51 | >> Narrator: The victim's 911
call has just come in from the
communications center.
|
| 00:25:55 | Detectives are aware that sam
placed a call to 911, but the
recording will reveal exactly
what he said.
|
| 00:26:02 | >> Richmond 911.
|
| 00:26:12 | [ Tapping ]
>> he's knocking on the front
door.
|
| 00:26:18 | The food mart.
|
| 00:26:26 | >> [ Screaming ]
no!
|
| 00:26:32 | >> Wow.
|
| 00:26:33 | That's him on the phone getting
shot.
|
| 00:26:35 | >> Getting killed.
|
| 00:26:36 | >> Getting killed and falling,
and when that phone hits the
ground, it just breaks into
pieces.
|
| 00:26:39 | >> Breaks open and cuts off.
|
| 00:26:40 | Do you want to listen to it
again?
|
| 00:26:42 | >> Yeah.
|
| 00:26:46 | So, he's already been shot.
|
| 00:26:49 | He's saying the suspect's right
there with him, near him.
|
| 00:26:54 | >> E-man?
|
| 00:26:54 | >> Telling us who did it.
|
| 00:26:56 | >> He says the nickname right
there.
|
| 00:26:59 | that's got to be that guy
walking right up on him and
shooting him on the front porch.
|
| 00:27:07 | >> [ Screaming ]
no!
|
| 00:27:10 | >> Hello?
|
| 00:27:14 | >> Wow.
|
| 00:27:14 | >> Well, I guess we got to start
checking nicknames for e-man.
|
| 00:27:17 | >> Yeah. "e," e-man.
|
| 00:27:18 | There's no doubt he knows who it
is.
|
| 00:27:20 | "
why would you tell somebody
"stop playing" if you didn't
know who they were?
|
| 00:27:33 | >> Narrator: Detectives hope
that if they can repair
sam coleman's cellphone, they
might be able to find an e-man
listed in the contacts.
|
| 00:27:40 | >> The most important thing is
to get that phone book.
|
| 00:27:44 | We do need that.
|
| 00:29:15 | We americans are always at our best
when we hear and heed the cries of others.
|
| 00:29:18 | Wh ms
americans have always stepped up
and answered the call to help.
|
| 00:29:24 | But there's never been anything on the scale
of human tragedy in our own hemisphere
like what we're now witnessing in haiti.
|
| 00:29:30 | Today president clinton and I are joining
together

| 00:29:38 | Thank you. thank you.

>> Everything that we know from
these 3-d scans, there's nothing
that we can look at right here
that says mattox is our shooter.
|
| 00:32:18 | Hey, did you get the 911 tape?
|
| 00:32:20 | >> Narrator: The tech unit has
successfully repaired
sam coleman's phone, so they can
access the victim's contacts.
|
| 00:32:27 | But there is no e-man listed.
|
| 00:32:29 | The cellphone is a dead end.
|
| 00:32:48 | >> After listening to the 911
tape, the victim states clearly
when he made the call that he
was near the r&s food mart.
|
| 00:32:55 | So we extended our crime scene
from the front porch to over in
the parking lot just to see if
we can locate any evidence that
might be over here.
|
| 00:33:04 | You're standing here, you got
the light on, he's on the phone
talking, and he just sees the
suspect advancing along the
fence line.
|
| 00:33:11 | He's on the phone.
|
| 00:33:12 | He's like, "i see you, man.
|
| 00:33:14 | "
at some time, he probably picks
up that vase that was up here
and just trying to ward him off,
throwing it.
|
| 00:33:21 | And it hits the metal gate and
just breaks.
|
| 00:33:23 | But there's one thing the
suspect didn't know -- is that
before he killed him, he talked
on the phone.
|
| 00:33:29 | >> Yep.
|
| 00:33:33 | >> So, everything from here over
here is our track, and maybe on
the other side of the store.
|
| 00:33:37 | Wherever the encounter took
place, we don't know, but it's
near the r&s.
|
| 00:33:41 | >> Okay.
|
| 00:33:42 | >> Let's go on the other side of
the store.
|
| 00:33:53 | >> Right now, we're gonna scan
the r&s food store.
|
| 00:33:56 | We're gonna expand the crime
scene a lot, actually, to add
the whole block, the whole city
block.
|
| 00:34:15 | >> We don't have any blood.
|
| 00:34:16 | We don't have any bullets.
|
| 00:34:17 | We don't have any shell casings.
|
| 00:34:19 | So, I mean, if sam was shot
right on the other side of the
r&s express, bled internally,
and made it over to mattox's
house without leaving any blood
trail -- that's what we're
looking at.
|
| 00:34:42 | >> I'm heading to the vigil for
sam coleman.
|
| 00:34:45 | The family is trying to convince
people from the community to
come forward and provide leads
that will assist us in solving
this homicide investigation.
|
| 00:34:54 | We provide a presence at these
events 'cause it shows the
family that we care about their
loved one and that we're still
actively investigating this
homicide.
|
| 00:35:02 | >> Father god, we pray right now
..
|
| 00:35:06 | >> Narrator: By working with the
community, the richmond police
department has experienced a 32%
reduction in homicides.
|
| 00:35:13 | >> There's a lot of us in this
community right now who are
afraid to come outside at night.
|
| 00:35:18 | We have to take back our
streets.
|
| 00:35:20 | I believe the only way we're
gonna do that is if we're
working together.
|
| 00:35:24 | >> Somebody out here knows who
did it.
|
| 00:35:27 | Retaliation's not the answer.
|
| 00:35:29 | That's not gonna bring big sam
back.
|
| 00:35:32 | I don't want any more homicides.
|
| 00:35:57 | >> Narrator: After several weeks
of no leads, detectives finally
get a break in the case -- an
eyewitness who was recently
incarcerated on unrelated
charges.
|
| 00:36:06 | But he was not in jail when sam
was killed, so it's possible he
could have witnessed the
homicide.
|
| 00:36:12 | >> We were looking for an
eyewitness the whole time, so if
he can actually tell us what
happened, who he saw, and why it
went down, this will be a very
good break in the case.
|
| 00:36:24 | I want to hear the whole story.
|
| 00:37:01 | >> Right now, the witness'
information corroborates what
everybody else is telling us so
far.
|
| 00:37:05 | His story at this point seems
pretty credible.
|
| 00:37:22 | >> He has no idea that we've
been looking for an e-man, and
it could be very coincidental
that it's actually -- we are
looking for a t-man.
|
| 00:37:34 | The forensics work and all the
circumstances that we've
gathered so far gives us a
thry of how this went down.
|
| 00:37:40 | We believe it's a strong theory,
but until we identify our
suspect and put the rest of the
pieces of the puzzle together,
we're not gonna know for sure
what really happened or if this
is our actual suspect.
|
| 00:37:52 | >> Narrator: T-man may be the
same suspect that sam coleman
named on his 911 cal so
detectives have to find out
who he is.
|
| 00:38:13 | >> We just got a great break in
this case.
|
| 00:38:15 | We've been trying to identify
t-man, and a detective that
works on our gang task force
talked to a confidential
informant and gave us
information that t-man is
travis jackson.
|
| 00:38:27 | So I creed a photo array and
showed it to our eyewitness.
|
| 00:38:42 | He identified travis jackson as
t-man, so I'm gonna get a
warrant charging first-degree
murder in the death of
sam coleman.
|
| 00:38:51 | And I'm going to have our
fugitive unit go out tonight to
look for travis jackson.
|
| 00:39:04 | >> We're out looking for
travis jackson.
|
| 00:39:06 | He's got a murder warrant for
sam coleman.
|
| 00:39:08 | We've hit a couple different
addresses -- nothing yet.
|
| 00:39:11 | But we're going to his
girlfriend's apartment.
|
| 00:39:13 | There's a good likelihood that
he may be staying there.
|
| 00:39:16 | We always take everybody with
the same amount of caution,
consider everybody armed.
|
| 00:39:21 | Hopefully, being that it's dark
outside, we'll be able to sneak
up on him a little bit if he's
in there and catch him unaware.
|
| 00:39:28 | >> Doesn't look like any of the
lights are on, so that's good
for us.
|
| 00:39:31 | Let me get another look at that
picture before we get out.
|
| 00:39:34 | All right, soon as I get to the
back, I'll hit you and let you
know, all right?
|
| 00:39:42 | All right, "b," I'm in the back.
|
| 00:39:44 | We're good to go.
|
| 00:39:53 | >> I'm knocking.
|
| 00:39:55 | [ Knock on door ]
police! come to the door!
|
| 00:39:57 | >> I can see through the door.
|
| 00:39:59 | He just came downstairs and ran
back upstairs.
|
| 00:40:02 | 10-4?
|
| 00:40:02 | >> Copy that.
|
| 00:40:07 | Police! come to the door!
|
| 00:40:08 | >> "B," there's a female getting
ready to open the door.
|
| 00:40:10 | I can see her through the glass
door back here.
|
| 00:42:33 | Anuary 12, a massive earthquake
ravaged haiti's capital.
|
| 00:42:36 | But there's still so much to do.
|
| 00:42:38 | Please, join theclinton bush haiti fund
and other organizations
as we answer the call to help haiti
build back better.
|
| 00:42:45 | Thank you. thank you.
|
| 00:43:53 | >> We're gonna expand the crime
scene to add the whole city
block.
|
| 00:44:01 | >> A confidential informant gave
us information that t-man is
travis jackson.
|
| 00:44:07 | >> Police! come to the door!
|
| 00:44:08 | >> "B," there's a female getting
ready to open the door.
|
| 00:44:13 | >> Put your hands up on the
wall.
|
| 00:44:15 | Get 'em up. get 'em up.
|
| 00:44:16 | Get 'em up.
|
| 00:44:16 | Travis, I got a warrant for your
arrest.
|
| 00:44:21 | All right, let's go.
|
| 00:44:24 | >> You mind if I come in and
talk to you for a second?
|
| 00:44:29 | Be advised, she's giving us
consent to search the apartment.
|
| 00:44:31 | >> It is not your day.
|
| 00:44:46 | >> They just brought t-man down
here, and I'm getting ready to
go inside, and I'm gonna
interview him about what he
knows about the murder.
|
| 00:44:53 | Our witness has already
identified the suspect, so we're
gonna see what he has to say
about it.
|
| 00:45:00 | >> What happened when you got
over there?
|
| 00:45:02 | >> Girlfriend comes to the front
door.
|
| 00:45:04 | He comes out hands up.
|
| 00:45:05 | Put him in handcuffs, and we
started asking if we can search
the place.
|
| 00:45:08 | >> So, he's here?
|
| 00:45:09 | He's in the back?
|
| 00:45:10 | >> Yeah, he's in the back now.
|
| 00:45:11 | 5 ounces
38, and
about $16,000 in cash.
|
| 00:45:18 | >> So, the gun is a .38?
|
| 00:45:19 | All right.
|
| 00:45:20 | I was looking for more like a
32 or a
.22.
|
| 00:45:24 | That's probably what sam was
killed with.
|
| 00:45:27 | >> But I think with the amount
of drugs -- hey, melissa.
|
| 00:45:30 | >> What do we have going on?
|
| 00:45:31 | >> The gun and the drugs -- i
mean, if taken federally, i
think he's looking at probably
..
|
| 00:45:37 | >> Easy.
|
| 00:45:38 | ..Minimum.
|
| 00:45:38 | Billy's gonna run back, try and
interview him, and if he's gonna
confess, I think now's the time.
|
| 00:45:44 | >> If we can get him to confess
to the murder, we're straight.
|
| 00:45:47 | Plus the drug charges, we get a
double whammy for today.
|
| 00:45:49 | >> The drugs are a bonus at this
point.
|
| 00:45:50 | >> I'll take a look at this,
then.
|
| 00:45:52 | If we can take it, we'll
definitely take it federal and
start working on him.
|
| 00:45:55 | >> Narrator: The gun and drug
evidence found during
travis jackson's arrest could
allow federal agents to bring
charges against him.
|
| 00:46:01 | If convicted, travis could serve
up to 20 years on federal gun
and drug charges alone.
|
| 00:46:56 | >> Yes.
|
| 00:47:23 | Travis jackson denies any
involvement in the murder of
sam coleman.
|
| 00:47:27 | He actually gave me an alibi
that he was at the hospital that
night, so it looks like I have a
little more work to do.
|
| 00:47:34 | I can go to the hospital, and i
might be able to find someone
there that can help disprove his
alibi.
|
| 00:47:43 | >> Narrator: Without a
confession, the murder case will
rely more heavily on the
forensics.
|
| 00:47:47 | Detectives have three weeks to
decide what kind of charges to
bring against travis jackson.
|
| 00:48:02 | After visiting the hospital,
detective thompson found no
evidence that confirmed or
denied travis jackson's alibi.
|
| 00:48:11 | ..
|
| 00:48:15 | So they review the evidence one
last time.
|
| 00:48:17 | >> First of all, let's start out
with our eyewitness.
|
| 00:48:19 | He's saying he was across the
street near a set of bushes, so
we're all gonna take a look at
it.
|
| 00:48:24 | >> Okay.
|
| 00:48:24 | >> So, up on the screen, those
are the bushes across
brookland park.
|
| 00:48:27 | >> Now, thbushes that are
sitting there on the corner --
that's where the witness is
going to be.
|
| 00:48:31 | >> Okay.
|
| 00:48:32 | >> Now, as we spin around to see
what he can see, that's the
front porch.
|
| 00:48:37 | >> He's got a clear,
unobstructed view.
|
| 00:48:39 | >> Yeah.
|
| 00:48:45 | >> What I think occurred is
t-man sees sam in front of the
r&s food store, and then it's
on.
|
| 00:48:52 | At some point, t-man starts
shooting at sam.
|
| 00:48:58 | And those are the shots that are
heard by the eyewitness who's
walking nearby.
|
| 00:49:05 | But the only place sam knows to
get shelter is the house of
willie mattox, so that's where
he went, directly in the line of
view of the eyewitness.
|
| 00:49:14 | Sam is running for his life.
|
| 00:49:15 | He reaches the edge of the
porch.
|
| 00:49:18 | He's already bleeding.
|
| 00:49:19 | We know this because there's
blood droplets in front of
willie mattox's house.
|
| 00:49:26 | He runs on willie mattox's front
porch.
|
| 00:49:29 | He's banging on the door.
|
| 00:49:31 | We hear it on the 911 tape.
|
| 00:49:32 | >> Man, I've been shot, man.
|
| 00:49:34 | I've just been shot.
|
| 00:49:35 | >> And then things start
speeding up.
|
| 00:49:37 | He sees the guy coming up behind
him.
|
| 00:49:40 | Sam's cornered.
|
| 00:49:40 | He can't go anywhere.
|
| 00:49:41 | He can't get in the house.
|
| 00:49:43 | He can't get back down the steps
to run.
|
| 00:49:45 | He's caught on the front porch.
|
| 00:49:47 | So, he picks up the vase, he
throws it at the suspect, and he
"
and then they're face to face,
and that's when he shoots him
and kills him.
|
| 00:49:58 | >> [ Screaming ]
>> can definitely see the muzzle
flashes at 3:00 in the morning.
|
| 00:50:04 | >> Exactly right.
|
| 00:50:08 | Our witness, on his own account,
said, "it was t-man.
|
| 00:50:11 | I know him, and I've dealt with
him before.
|
| 00:50:13 | He's the one that shot
"
>> but who is this guy?
|
| 00:50:17 | I mean, how do we actually know
what he's saying, he actually
saw?
|
| 00:50:21 | >> This witness knows more than
willie knows.
|
| 00:50:23 | I think billy's got the right
frame on this one.
|
| 00:50:25 | >> Well, obviously, before we
can move any further on getting
travis charged, what do we have
evidence-wise to tie him to that
murder?
|
| 00:50:33 | >> We got eyewitness testimony
putting travis at the scene.
|
| 00:50:37 | We also have travis being
identified by the eyewitness as
t-man.
|
| 00:50:42 | We got the 911 call that sam
made, and we also have stippling
on the victim's body which shows
that there was an intimate-type
relationship between these two
guys that sam would let someone
get as close to him as the
suspect did.
|
| 00:50:59 | They must have known one
another.
|
| 00:51:01 | So, we have all those factors
that lead to travis jackson.
|
| 00:51:04 | >> But what we have is basically
a one-witness case, and we need
more.
|
| 00:51:09 | We don't have enough to convict
travis of this murder based on
what we have.
|
| 00:51:14 | The federal drug charges is our
best shot right now for keeping
him locked up.
|
| 00:51:19 | It's probably in our best
interest to non-process the
murder charge, proceed on the
federal drug charges.
|
| 00:51:24 | He's off the street.
|
| 00:51:26 | He's gonna stay locked up for a
long time.
|
| 00:51:28 | And before we proceed any
further on the murder charge, be
certain 100% that he's our guy.
|
| 00:51:42 | >> We've decided to not go
forward with the murder charges
against travis right now.
|
| 00:51:47 | The case is gonna be
non-prossed, and that means the
charges of murder against
travis jackson are going to be
withdrawn, but at any time in
the future, when we get more
evidence, we can get an
indictment through the grand
jury and bring the charges back
against him.
|
| 00:52:02 | The key is that with the federal
case pending against him, he
could be looking at almost 20
years in prison, which would
give us plenty of time to really
work on sam's case and
definitely point the finger
directly at travis jackson.

|
| 00:54:55 | Don't worry about what I know.
|
| 00:55:01 | I was just over to tony's house.
|
| 00:55:03 | Oh, yeah.
|
| 00:55:05 | How was he ?
|
| 00:55:07 | ..
|
| 00:55:09 | Tired.
|
| 00:55:11 | Maybe he's got hypoglycemia.
|
| 00:55:14 | Maybe he's depressed.
|
| 00:55:15 | What's he got to be depressed about ?
|
| 00:55:17 | He talked to me about it.
|
| 00:55:19 | Depression ?
|
| 00:55:21 | ..
|
| 00:55:22 | What the hell do you know about depression
?
|
| 00:55:24 | Nothing I'm just saying, that's all.
|
| 00:55:26 | But he's sleeping all the time.
|
| 00:55:27 | He's not taking care of himself.

|
| 00:55:44 | A day at the mall in mules and I'd be crippled
for life.
|
| 00:55:52 | I told lilliana to put some giambott' in
the microwave for you when you get up.
|
| 00:55:58 | Tony how are you fixed for sweat-socks ?
|
| 00:56:00 | We're gonna be right by the sports authority.
|
| 00:56:07 | Tony ?
|
| 00:56:10 | Tony I know you're in there.
|
| 00:56:11 | I know you hear me.
|
| 00:56:13 | Will you let me sleep ?
|
| 00:56:14 | Does your lady therapist know about this
?
|
| 00:56:16 | Maybe you need more medication.
|
| 00:56:18 | She already got me on lithium and prozac.
|
| 00:56:21 | What else you want ?
|
| 00:56:22 | Aromatherapy.
|
| 00:56:23 | Something.
|
| 00:56:25 | This is not normal.
|
| 00:56:26 | For a healthy adult male to take to bed like
this.
|
| 00:56:29 | I got a lot on my mind.
|
| 00:56:30 | Oh, really ? move over then.
|
| 00:56:33 | Those indictments are hanging over my head
too, ya know.
|
| 00:56:36 | ..
|
| 00:56:39 | My best friend, pussy, has disappeared.
|
| 00:56:42 | He's probably freaking dead, okay ?
