Original subtitles

In 2015, there were horrific crimes

spreading across South Florida.

The violence was extraordinary.

Brutal murders, home invasion robberies, drive-by shootings,

random shootings.

I want who did this to my son to pay for it.

We didn't know who was causing all this violence,

but they were willing to kill anyone that wanted

to work against them.

My friend died for nothing. He died for nothing.

A lot of these victims were anti-law enforcement.

I had to show them I'm human, I'm just like them.

One of them said, "I didn't think my life mattered."

It was heartbreaking.

I get this phone call.

"This is Jessica Box with the FBI."

And I was like, "FBI?" What's going on?

This case is my life. I wake up and I work it.

I sleep. I dream about it.

I will not stop.

Sit me on the stand. Give me the Bible.

I'm bringin' my own. Wish them no luck in hell.

I'm FBI Special Agent Jessica Box.

When serious crime strikes, the special agents of the FBI

answer the call.

Fidelity, bravery, integrity.

This is "FEDS."

A lot of people look at Florida from television.

They see the lights, the palm trees, the beaches,

and they just think that this is paradise.

That's how they lure you in.

But once you get to the heart of Florida,

where the heartbeat is,

this is a concrete jungle.

You got a lot of lions, tigers, and bears.

So, tread light and be careful.

Everything that glitters isn't gold here.

As a detective, you see these violent crimes

spreading out throughout our county,

and you're starting to feel like there's some connection.

You definitely fear that, uh, this is getting out of control.

Coming up through law enforcement, I worked a lot

of undercover work, but I'd never seen anything like this.

We didn't know who they were, but they were

terrorizing the county.

Numerous different police departments were involved.

Each one had one small aspect of it

to just-- overwhelming state authorities.

So, based upon that, I put out inquiries to the FBI

as to who might be available to work on these cases.

I was assigned a young female by the name of Jessica Box.

I worked as an intelligence analyst for the FBI.

I wanted to do more.

I did not want to just sit on the sidelines

and be on the computer all day.

And I decided that I really had to be an agent.

That was really what my heart was telling me.

So this case was really what I call "my baby".

It was my first investigation as a brand-new agent.

Agent Box was faced with taking over all the evidence

that we had accumulated up to this point.

I essentially took a 5,000-piece puzzle

and dumped it in Jessica's lap.

I was very nervous.

I spent about a full week, without exaggeration,

organizing files.

We had over 49 different crimes across South Florida

in a very small period of time.

I went through detail after detail,

case by case,

trying to put the pieces to the puzzle together.

On November 4th, 2015, a shooting took place

in a garage in a neighborhood called "Habitat" in Lauderhill.

Inside the garage was Rodrick McCullough,

a small-time marijuana dealer,

Veronica Gilchrist,

and her friend Donald Johnston, also known as Eddie.

Eddie was the neighborhood's champ.

He was just that person where you could go to him

for anything.

He'll give you the clothes off his back.

I used to call Eddie my guardian angel.

As long as I'm near Eddie,

I don't have nothing to worry about.

That night, a little bit after 10, I'm eating my pizza.

Eddie is standing not too far from me.

Rod is close by me.

And he begins to stutter.

And I'm like, "Boy, get the-- get them words out your mouth."

He's, "Stu-stu..."

And I'm like-- but when I look at him,

you can see the garage doors just, like, lift up.

They came in with no masks.

They came in shooting with AK-47s.

I was standing in the middle of crossfire.

I fall, boom, then Rod falls, boom.

And the last person standing is Eddie.

I remember him, like, reaching in his pockets

and pulling out some money and throwing it, like,

"Get what you want, take what you want,

so you guys can leave."

And they shot him.

I just remember them standing on the back of my legs

and shooting me close range to the point...

your body becomes numb.

I prayed to God, and I-- and I remember just screaming out

my son's name and feeling like I let him down.

And one of them came and said in my ear,

"Bitch, stop praying. Stop [bleep] praying."

I remember thinking,

this is how you're about to die. This is how you're gonna go,

riddled with bullets.

One of them walked over,

stood on her back with both feet,

and pointed an AK-47 down, straight at her back,

and fired their weapon.

Her back filleted open.

Due to having sclerosis as a child,

she had a titanium rod in her back,

and the bullet actually bounced out,

and she survived.

That is the only reason she is walking and living right now.

When law enforcement arrived on scene that night,

Donald Johnston was still alive,

and he was rushed to the hospital.

He was the son of one of our employees

at the Broward Sheriff's Office, Mrs. Kathy Wilson.

At 11:15, I got a phone call from one of his friends.

He said, "Mom, Eddie's been shot."

We went to the hospital.

They took us to the Critical Care Unit.

He was laying there.

Um...

I can't remember how many bags of blood he went through,

and they said, "It's just not staying in.

It's not staying in."

I was talking to him,

and his eyes were somewhat closed,

but glazed a bit, you know.

And then he started biting his lip,

and the nurse saw it, and she said, "Stop, stop, stop.

"We have to put him back under. He's coming out.

He's coming out."

And to see him in that pain was hard.

And to see him like that was hard.

Um...

To know that he was alive, and he heard me,

and that he was actually biting his lip.

Don't know if he was trying to answer me.

That brings me comfort.

'Cause he heard me, hear my voice.

He heard a familiar voice.

I took a picture of him.

So I got the last picture of him being alive.

Seeing Kathy and imagining what it must feel like for a mom

to lose her child

is heartbreaking.

My brother,

it was one of those situations where he was in the wrong place

at the wrong time.

I wanted to know, um, why him?

With everything that he does in the community.

He's a good person

and the person that instilled

those morals and those values, those Christian values in me.

And he honestly, he kept it up all throughout his adulthood.

So I'm like, why would someone be gunning after him?

It just-- it just didn't make sense.

It made no sense why they were targeting this specific group.

There were not tons of money and tons of drugs

in this garage.

I told the police I didn't know who those guys were.

It was around about $1,200 in the garage.

They left that money on the ground.

So it's like, what was the point?

My friend died for nothing. He died for nothing.

Rodrick McCullough survived the shooting,

but when we went to speak with him,

he was very uncooperative.

Claimed he didn't know anything,

and he didn't know why.

So, while processing the crime scene,

we found multiple shell casings,

but this was a mystery.

We didn't know who the shooters were.

All we knew was that there were two gunmen,

and they didn't wear masks.

So, I started looking through the cases

where there were a lot of potential eyewitnesses.

On October 3, 2015, there was a peewee football game.

It was a park in Lauderhill Lakes,

just like a typical Saturday afternoon.

At the time, there was hundreds of kids.

Peewee football games were actively going on

with their parents and everybody watching.

I was told that there was over 300 people here.

On that date, several gunmen walked into the park

in broad daylight with no face coverings,

nothing to hide their identity,

walked up to a father who was with his children

and shot him point-blank.

They stole his money and they ran back across

into their car and took off.

They shot Zoe Gotti twice in the stomach,

but miraculously, he was able to survive.

I spoke to so many people on the street

who were reluctant to talk to me.

Out of 300 people, not one person came forward

to say what they saw.

No one wanted to talk to law enforcement.

That was the first time I realized

how hard my job was gonna be

if no one would step up and say,

"These people shot someone in broad daylight,

and my children were running around."

But I started to see there was a clear pattern.

Zoe Gotti and Rodrick McCullough were both people that had

a reputation to deal drugs in the Dania Beach

and Hollywood area.

What we realized is that these gunmen were specifically

targeting drug dealers and people that they perceived

to be law enforcement unfriendly, so that these people

wouldn't testify against them.

We noticed this pattern over and over again.

And, as time went on, I found a connection that would change

the course of the entire investigation.

On November 3rd, 2015, myself and my partner,

Walt Foster, we got notified by supervisors

of a home invasion, uh, robbery,

where one of the victims had been shot.

By the time we arrived on the scene, the victim had

already been transported to the hospital.

AJ Bosfield was one of those kids that grew up

in a bad environment.

He was one of those kids that you thought

you could change him if you gave him some options

and talk him out of being on the streets.

From what we were told from the witnesses on scene,

Mr. Bosfield was cooperating.

It didn't matter to them that he was cooperating.

He was still placed onto the ground

of the bedroom and shot.

He was pronounced deceased at the hospital.

He was not a threat to anyone, and he was executed

by-- by these robbers.

This murder took place 24 hours before the murder

of Donald Johnston.

We knew that we were dealing with criminals that were out

for more than just product.

They were looking to make a name for themselves,

and they were looking for street credit.

There were drive-by shootings happening on what seemed

like a daily basis.

It was clear this was not the works of just a few gunmen.

We were dealing with a gang working together.

They were spreading across South Florida.

We didn't know how far extended,

but we knew we had to do something fast.

At the AJ Bosfield homicide,

we found two ...380 cartridge casings.

I went through every piece of evidence across many cases

from each crime scene that had casings.

And I found a very likely match.

This was the residence of Cory Billings.

Cory Billings was a known drug dealer

in the Hollywood area.

On November 25, 2015, the car parked

right where we are. Two gunmen went inside.

The Cory Billings crime scene was so heinous.

I mean, Cory Billings was laid out on the floor,

shot several times in the head.

There were nine handgun casings, and eight were a .380 caliber.

As law enforcement went in to clear the residence,

they discovered that there was, in fact,

a robust security system in place.

We knew we needed to see exactly what footage was on it,

as quickly as possible.

When Hollywood told me they had video of the Cory Billings

home invasion robbery, I was very excited.

To say the least, I thought this could be

the breakthrough in the case.

I dropped everything, got everybody together,

and had a TV set up for them and everything.

But when they played the video, I realized that this was a video

that I wouldn't want anyone else to watch.

The violence and the nature of this crime

was absolutely ruthless.

You can see Cory Billings walk out a customer.

The first gunman comes in.

And shoots at Cory Billings and the dog.

You see the second man come in.

They're searching the house.

We're assuming he's asking Cory Billings,

"Where's the money, where's the drugs?"

And in the corner here, you can see

that the first gunman is searching through the kitchen.

As the first gunman walks out, he's trying to clear

what we think is a jam in his firearm.

And Cory Billings, we assume,

thinks it's safe to get up.

But the gunman tells him to get back down.

We think Cory Billings was laying on the ground,

clearly obeying the orders that he was given,

probably pleading for his life.

And he's just shot, as he's laying there.

Cold-blooded execution.

Cory Billings was severely brain damaged

and sadly passed away, 2024.

While the video was a great breakthrough in our case,

it's also torturous because the video

was grainy enough to where we couldn't 100%

positively ID somebody enough to place him into custody.

When you go through a video like that

for evidentiary purposes,

you slow it down and you go through it

frame by frame by frame.

Eventually, we picked up little nuances.

We saw that the second person

was possibly communicating with somebody outside

as he would occasionally turn his head.

We could see that there was a third person

standing in the doorway.

We couldn't see who it was at all, just a shadow.

Hollywood Police Department went and recovered fingerprints

from that doorway and sent it to the lab.

One of those fingerprints came back for a positive hit

on Eric Hunter.

Eric Hunter was very well known

on the streets of South Florida.

He'd been a thorn in the side of law enforcement

since he was an adolescent.

When I went through his social media,

it was clear that he had a group following.

From there, we started to build our network

of potential gang members.

Just spun that guap at Wendy's, man.

[bleep] real hungry, man.

I went and collected information

on literally over a hundred people.

But the same three people were always together.

Eric Hunter,

Derrick Slade,

and Marcello Gordon.

It was easy to see that they were

the three pieces of glue that held this gang together,

and that Eric Hunter was most likely the leader.

We hit the streets

and we talked to a lot of people.

They were telling us that, even as a young kid,

he wanted to control people.

He wanted to call the shots.

Eric Hunter had this reputation that he was untouchable.

The word on the street was that he must have had

black magic promoting and assisting him.

We were told that there was a woman who practiced voodoo

in a storefront.

And these gang members would go to her to ask for her blessing

and protection from law enforcement.

We had to find a way to stop Eric Hunter.

A partner of mine and myself,

we drove around to see if we could locate

any local gang members we could talk to

to kind of give us some insight into some of the crimes

that were occurring.

We observe what we believe to be a hand-to-hand

narcotics transaction take place with a vehicle,

so we decided to stop that vehicle.

There's a small turn lane right up here by this light,

and that's where we conducted the traffic stop.

On approach to the car, my partner took

the driver's side window,

and I took the right-rear passenger side.

At that point, we asked for compliance.

"Show me your hands,

put your hands on the dashboard."

We just wanna see their hands,

to make sure they're not gonna hurt us.

The front passenger and the driver

immediately complied.

The person in the back behind the driver,

uh, was not complying,

was just kinda pretending he couldn't be seen.

I continued to address him.

I said, "Show me your hands, show me your hands."

He still didn't comply.

I heard my partner ask

for driver's license, registration,

just like any other car stop.

And I heard the driver say,

"You know me, I'm Eric Hunter. I don't have my ID."

And at that point, I knew this car stop

was gonna get a little hairy.

To say...

I was nervous would be an understatement.

I felt that this male passenger in the backseat

had a gun in his lap

and I felt that he was getting ready to kill me.

I am so convinced that this subject has a gun,

and that we're about to get in a shooting,

that I point my gun at him

and I begin telling him that if he doesn't show me

his hands, I'm gonna kill him.

He still does not comply.

I can see the muscles in his hands moving.

I can see the muscles in his forearms twitching.

I feel like he's maneuvering the weapon to a position

where he can shoot me.

At the same time, I am also positioning myself

to where I can get a clean shot on him

that I start squeezing my trigger.

And I let him know one more time to look at my weapon,

to look at my finger, to see that I'm squeezing the trigger,

and to know that I'm about to shoot him.

I thought I was gonna get shot.

I took my body armor and I pushed it into the window

so his only shot was gonna be on my body armor.

At that time, our backup started arriving.

We had multiple police cars showing up.

He showed me his hands, but I could tell

he kinda a sleight of hand.

Whatever he was holding in his hands,

he moved and kept under the hat.

I said, "Get this guy out of the car

and handcuff him."

I was able to search the car.

First thing that I went to look for

was to confirm my feeling,

and I lifted the hat off the rear passenger seat,

and I saw a .380 black Beretta handgun.

They say when something's about to happen in police work,

the hair stands up on your neck and stuff, and I knew I was

very close to getting in a shooting that night,

possibly being shot.

Eric Hunter was arrested that night

for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Eventually, we identified the male in the back

of the vehicle as Derrick Slade.

Derrick Slade was convicted of a homicide when I believe

he was 14 or 15 years old.

His nickname was "Soldier," and he was known

to be extremely violent.

Being face-to-face with a cold blooded killer,

I was definitely lucky to get out of there, but I was also

elated because I thought this could be the gun

that could break this case wide open.

Once I got the firearm, I was able to send that,

along with the casings from each crime scene, to the FBI lab.

They were able to link it

to the Cory Billings attempted homicide,

the AJ Bosfield homicide,

as well as many different drive-by shootings,

that had happened all over South Florida.

So this was a huge breakthrough.

Once we had Eric Hunter and Derrick Slade locked up,

while you wanna have a sense of elation

that they're off the street and you feel like

you've accomplished your goal,

this is really the beginning of the case.

Eric Hunter is in jail, but he has connections

outside of jail.

The other gang members were still targeting victims

on his orders.

And if we didn't do something, he was gonna get time served

and just walk out of jail.

I sat down and explained to my boss,

"I'm not only gonna put these guys in jail

"for a few months, these guys are gonna go to jail

for the rest of their lives."

To take them down, we had to prove that they were

an organized crime group.

We have to show that they worked together,

that they shared the proceeds of their crimes

and worked in unison to commit these crimes.

And that's all part of a RICO case.

RICO was originally designed

to be used against the mafia.

For the first time ever,

the reputed heads of all five crime families

in our town were hauled into court on one indictment.

The RICO statute allows you to present in court

evidence of a bunch of different crimes.

It is literally an organized crime statute,

but it's hard to do. It's rarely done.

I was working with Paul Schwartz and Jeff Kaplan,

who are legends.

Usually, we're the ones asking the questions.

They're known for doing big RICO cases.

They are known for being aggressive and not stopping

until they get their guys in jail.

In order to build a RICO case, you need to explain this group.

In this particular case, we really couldn't do it

by just circumstantial evidence.

Extremely difficult scenario, no cooperators,

no undercover agents, no victims, nothing.

We were concerned that Special Agent Box

was somewhat inexperienced.

But as time progressed, Jessica Box found a way

to get things done.

I spent upwards of a year going through social media

and cellphones, thousands, if not more, images and messages

back and forth.

I needed information to show that they worked together,

that they were an organization.

When I found a new piece to the puzzle,

I would get so excited.

Jessica showed me social media posts

from these gang members, ended with the word "onsight".

And the derivation of that

is that they will kill you on sight.

And so, any piece of information

where they used the word "onsight,"

I was able to take that and show that they are part

of the Onsight Gang.

We had a list of over 100 main subjects

that we're concerned about were part

of this violent group.

So, we had significant information

to explain the existence of this gang,

but nothing significant enough

to place him in prison for any length of time.

As time went on, I was under pressure to finish the case.

But we ran into roadblock after roadblock.

It was very frustrating as a mother.

At that time, there was no closure for me,

because...

I didn't know where we were going

with this case.

The people that killed my son, I want them to be accountable.

There's a reason we have laws.

Laws are supposed to protect the innocent,

not protect the guilty.

At this time, we still hadn't built the RICO case,

and we didn't have enough evidence

to hold Hunter any longer.

He drove around the community very boldly.

He was willing to kill anyone that wanted

to work against him.

One night, we went to church.

We were coming home, and we were making a left

onto our street...

and a car came next to us.

And I looked at my husband, and I looked at the car.

He was going...

same speed.

It was, like, right next to us, and he just looked at me,

and I looked at him.

And then he went away.

And I remember writing down the tag number

and calling the detectives.

I got a phone call back later on that night telling me,

"Kathy...

this is one of the guys that's involved with this case."

It just-- it sent chills.

It sent chills.

Kathy Wilson had a legitimate reason to be concerned

'cause Eric Hunter is very dangerous.

Some people literally packed their entire family up

and moved out of Florida because they were mentioned

on a Facebook post by Eric Hunter.

They were shooting at people's homes.

I was scared for my family.

Eddie, he died November 4th, of 2015.

Every year, I go out to the garage where it happened.

I light a candle.

I play some of the songs

that we used to listen to every day,

and I'll sit out there for a few hours.

Pay my respects...

and to just give thanks and honor to Eddie

for being such a real person and a good friend.

Two years passed.

In regards to the Police Department,

I was like, "They'll never figure it out

"because anything that's going on in the ghetto...

they don't really care."

It's how we're raised,

it's what we're taught, and it's what we know.

So I kinda-- I gave up on them.

By this point, we were running out of options.

I was told that to keep the case alive,

we need someone on the inside.

We need somebody to explain to us

their organization.

You need somebody to talk.

Anyone that knew these gang members,

I'd always ask them,

"Who do you think would be the first to talk to me?"

Without a doubt, everyone named Marcello Gordon.

Marcello Gordon was a lifelong criminal,

mostly violent crimes.

Jessica Box had her laptop and showed him

all the evidence that we had.

You could tell that he was seriously thinking about it.

We spoke to his mother.

Uh, we explained just how much trouble he's in

and how he's looking at the rest of his life in jail.

And still, he refused. It was devastating.

Just a couple days later, we were listening

to Marcello Gordon and Derrick Slade's jail calls.

We would monitor calls that were taking place

between our suspects and people on the outside.

The Onsight Gang were trying to find information

on Special Agent Box.

It was clear that Eric Hunter and the Onsight Gang

had my name.

Is he looking for my address?

Is he looking to come get me and do a drive-by shooting?

I was really fearful of what might happen.

One day, I get this phone call.

"This is Jessica Box with the FBI."

And I was like, "FBI? How you get my number?

"Why you got my number, and what's going on?

What did I do?"

When we first started the investigation, I was told,

"Don't bother talking to Veronica Gilchrist."

They said, "She's anti-law enforcement.

She won't work with you. She won't help you."

In the Donald Johnston homicide, we still didn't know

who the shooters were.

So, I finally decided, "Let's go talk to her.

What's the worst that could happen?"

When I pull up, I'm literally looking for this big six-foot

Harley-Davidson riding lady with probably a buzz cut

or a mohawk.

And I got this little bitty lady, 120 pounds soaking wet.

And she looked like she makes the best gingerbread men.

I remember the day so clearly. She walked in, polite,

kind,

and then tearful.

She told her story.

I presented pictures of the main subjects of the case.

We came to Eric Hunter.

I was like, "He look familiar."

And I sat there and I thought about it long and hard.

I remember he actually came to the garage to buy weed

at least three separate times.

But it didn't dawn on me that, like, he's in here

casing the place.

Agent Box asked me, did I wanna testify?

Eric Hunter and the Onsight Gang had a long track record

of intimidating witnesses.

He did multiple drive-by shootings on people

that he thought would testify against him.

Veronica knew this was very dangerous.

If that's what I could do, to pay Eddie back, I was ready.

Sit me on the stand. Give me the Bible.

I'm bringin' my own.

I wanna put them away,

um...

for the rest of their life and the afterlife.

So, yeah...

She was just so brave.

And I was so inspired by her.

And I think it's a lesson all of us need to have is,

you always get back up, even when you're shot down.

So I went back and looked at the Donald Johnston homicide.

Inside the garage,

we found multiple AK-47 cartridge casings.

But outside, we found a single 9 millimeter casing.

While all of the shooting was happening in the garage,

one gunman was standing outside.

I realized that this was actually very similar

to the Cory Billings attempted homicide,

where Eric Hunter was standing in the doorway,

and 9 millimeter cartridge casings were found.

So I started looking back through any photos

of Eric Hunter taken around that time.

As I dug deeper, I found a picture

on Derrick Slade's social media.

Eric Hunter is holding two liquor bottles

and appears to be celebrating.

This photo was posted just mere hours

after the Cory Billings attempted homicide.

Then I go on to Derrick Slade's cellphone

and look through the photos from that same night,

and lo and behold, I find a very similar image

of Eric Hunter holding the two liquor bottles.

But one major thing is different.

There was the 9 millimeter gun

lying right next to him.

Of course, Derrick Slade was smart enough

not to post the image of the gun,

but the pictures are almost identical.

You can actually see from the timestamps

that they were taken just minutes apart.

It was heart-wrenching to know that they could attempt

to kill somebody...

...and later on, not only celebrate, but post it

to social media in a bragging way.

That picture was a key piece of information to show us

that that gun was in fact with them that night.

But we had to develop evidence

as to who actually fired those shots.

Because the clarity of the video was not very good,

we sent it to a movie production company,

who tried to enhance it.

It was much clearer.

If we can identify one of the individuals

depicted in there, it would certainly increase the pressure

on them to cooperate and give us the structure of the gang.

The first suspect that came in and shot at the dog...

got a clean shot of his face right under a light.

He had a very identifiable cross tattoo on his forehead.

And I knew right then, it was Marcello Gordon.

Unless Marcello Gordon cooperated,

I knew that we would never get a RICO case.

I knew that the rest of the guys would walk out of jail

and commit murder again.

We went over to the jail

and we showed him the videotape.

We explained to him that we thought

it was overwhelming evidence,

and that just that alone is gonna give him

a life sentence.

He teared up.

He was very emotional about watching it,

um, and still refused to talk to us.

I looked at him in the eye, I said, "This case is my life."

I sleep and think about it. I dream about it.

I-- I wake up and I work it all the way

till 10 or 11 o'clock at night.

This is all that I do.

This is how dedicated I am.

This is-- I will not stop until you're in jail

for the rest of your life.

Marcello Gordon lifted his T-shirt to show us

he had a large tattoo on his body

that said "Onsight".

This was the moment

Marcello Gordon decided to cooperate.

He opened up to us and began to reveal

the missing pieces of the puzzle.

He was able to show how Eric Hunter

would give them guns or tell them who to rob.

"Hunter was the leader.

"Derrick Slade and I were the enforcers.

We had other individuals who would help us out."

He described who those individuals were.

And they would share the loot.

He told us the Onsight Gang was responsible for the murder

of Donald Johnston,

AJ Bosfield,

the attempted murder of Cory Billings,

and Zoe Gotti.

It's almost like you have this kind of iceberg,

and all of a sudden it starts breaking to pieces,

and it just makes it easier to get the next person and say,

"Hey, Marcello Gordon's cooperating, you're in trouble."

It's ironic how a gang that built

their entire reputation on targeting victims

that they didn't think would work with law enforcement

ultimately flipped

and decided to not only talk to law enforcement,

but also get on the stand and testify

against one of their own.

Part of a vicious gang, responsible from everything

to home invasions to murders.

That's how the feds described these men who are now facing

federal charges tonight.

You look at them and...

they could be anybody's son,

anybody's brother.

It's not until...

they opened their mouth and they started speaking.

And they talk about everything they've done.

I don't hate.

But I do recognize hatred, and I do recognize evil.

Marcello Gordon told us

at the Donald Johnston homicide,

when they approached the garage, Hunter was outside,

and that they started opening up the garage.

Slade was just shooting.

And Slade was the one who shot,

um...

Donald Johnston.

I want who did this to my son to pay for it.

Veronica stood up in court each time and faced the people

that literally gunned her down.

And I cannot imagine how scary that must be.

Uh, their families were sitting in court behind them.

And I'm sure she was worried about retaliation.

But she stood there and let the court and the judge

know exactly what she went through.

I spoke my piece and wish them no luck in hell.

Gordon was sentenced to 34 years.

Derrick Slade was sentenced to two life terms, plus 30 years.

In Eric Hunter's case, he got 39 years.

If it wasn't for Special Agent Box,

I don't know that we'd be sitting here today.

When this case looked like it would stall,

and we had nothing,

she had that tenacity and that drive

to continue to work this case, year after year after year,

to bring so much closure to a lot of victims

and justice for their families.

Give me a hug.

It's been so long.

You've made my job worth it.

Any moment when I am questioning or I'm tired

or I don't want to keep going

or I don't want another case,

I think of you.

I have a different outlook at, you know, dealing

with law enforcement now.

I know it was sleepless nights.

I know times where you probably did just wanna give up,

but you never gave up on...

I feel like you didn't give up on me.

Now I can sleep peacefully at night.

And I just thank you for that.

You know, you my hero, girl.

- Yeah. - We did it, we did it.

Next time on "FEDS."

He called himself the next John Wick.

I just screamed to the top of my lungs.

He's a real-life murder-for-money hitman.

No words to explain that feeling.
