1
00:00:12,713 --> 00:00:14,313
When we first
watched the footage,
2
00:00:14,315 --> 00:00:16,949
we could see
a figure running away.
3
00:00:18,485 --> 00:00:21,053
Several seconds later,
you can actually see, uh,
4
00:00:21,055 --> 00:00:23,122
another car appeared to follow
5
00:00:23,124 --> 00:00:25,290
where the suspect had ran.
6
00:00:27,227 --> 00:00:29,028
So we start to wonder,
7
00:00:29,030 --> 00:00:31,997
are these people
working in consort?
8
00:00:31,999 --> 00:00:33,665
Is this a plan?
9
00:00:33,667 --> 00:00:35,968
Was this something
that was premeditated,
10
00:00:35,970 --> 00:00:38,337
a conspiracy to commit murder?
11
00:01:09,035 --> 00:01:11,136
It's the day
before Thanksgiving,
12
00:01:11,138 --> 00:01:13,906
and Armando Dominguez
and his 18-year old brother,
13
00:01:13,908 --> 00:01:17,509
Cristian, are working on
their passion project together.
14
00:01:34,194 --> 00:01:37,696
Cristian's Honda
was Armando and his project.
15
00:01:38,364 --> 00:01:39,398
All right.
16
00:01:39,465 --> 00:01:41,133
Because every time
he got something new
17
00:01:41,135 --> 00:01:42,835
for that car,
it was always an excitement.
18
00:01:42,837 --> 00:01:45,604
It came in, let's fix it today.
19
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:51,009
Cristian lives in California,
20
00:01:51,011 --> 00:01:54,213
having emigrated
from Mexico 18 months ago.
21
00:01:54,215 --> 00:01:57,015
Woo! Cristian!
22
00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:05,457
He knew that the United States
23
00:02:05,459 --> 00:02:06,992
gave him the opportunity
24
00:02:06,994 --> 00:02:08,961
to do anything he wanted.
25
00:02:08,963 --> 00:02:11,163
He wanted to take advantage
of it.
26
00:02:13,133 --> 00:02:15,067
After finishing high school,
27
00:02:15,069 --> 00:02:18,871
Cristian secures a job
at a nearby warehouse.
28
00:02:18,873 --> 00:02:21,440
He wanted to work, you know,
29
00:02:21,442 --> 00:02:23,542
for him to feel like he was able
30
00:02:23,544 --> 00:02:26,111
to do something in life here.
31
00:02:26,113 --> 00:02:27,546
He had that mentality
32
00:02:27,548 --> 00:02:30,048
that if you wanna do
something in life,
33
00:02:30,050 --> 00:02:31,483
you got to work for it.
34
00:02:31,485 --> 00:02:33,619
It's not gonna be
hand-given to you.
35
00:04:26,366 --> 00:04:29,334
It got to, like, uh, 8:00
and Armando started worrying.
36
00:04:47,287 --> 00:04:49,187
The concerned couple drive over
37
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:51,890
to Cristian's workplace
to look for him.
38
00:04:51,892 --> 00:04:53,725
Let me go check inside, okay?
39
00:04:54,527 --> 00:04:56,128
The parking lot was empty.
40
00:04:56,130 --> 00:04:57,829
It was pitch black and there was
41
00:04:57,831 --> 00:04:59,398
a security guard outside.
42
00:05:00,867 --> 00:05:03,101
And we're like, "Is there
anybody else in there?"
43
00:05:03,103 --> 00:05:05,871
And then he was like,
"No, everybody left."
44
00:05:05,873 --> 00:05:08,140
Give us a call
if you hear anything at all.
45
00:05:55,956 --> 00:05:59,524
Yes. Yes.
46
00:06:06,165 --> 00:06:07,065
What do we got?
47
00:06:07,067 --> 00:06:08,400
Officer Buddy Porch
48
00:06:08,402 --> 00:06:10,535
is among the first to arrive.
49
00:06:10,537 --> 00:06:12,637
As I got to the intersection,
50
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:14,139
I looked towards the 7-Eleven
51
00:06:14,141 --> 00:06:15,507
and there was a group of people
52
00:06:15,509 --> 00:06:16,708
screaming and yelling.
53
00:06:21,013 --> 00:06:22,147
It was a chaotic scene.
54
00:06:22,149 --> 00:06:24,282
This guy,
the guy in the truck...
55
00:06:24,284 --> 00:06:26,485
I saw a single cab Chevy truck
56
00:06:26,487 --> 00:06:28,353
white in color,
57
00:06:28,355 --> 00:06:30,188
had front end damage.
58
00:06:30,190 --> 00:06:32,891
You could see that the truck
59
00:06:32,893 --> 00:06:35,327
had hit the brick building
in such force
60
00:06:35,329 --> 00:06:37,462
that there was major damage.
61
00:06:37,464 --> 00:06:40,232
This wasn't like
a little small hit.
62
00:06:40,234 --> 00:06:41,400
Okay. I'm gonna need
some paramedics here.
63
00:06:41,402 --> 00:06:43,034
I got a situation down here.
64
00:06:43,036 --> 00:06:46,037
In front of the truck
lies a young man
65
00:06:46,039 --> 00:06:47,973
with severe injuries.
66
00:06:47,975 --> 00:06:49,574
I'm telling,
you know, "Hey, breathe,
67
00:06:49,576 --> 00:06:50,876
I got ambulance on the way."
68
00:06:50,878 --> 00:06:52,277
The ambulance
is on the way, okay?
69
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,080
I was truly concerned
about his injuries
70
00:06:55,082 --> 00:06:57,249
and what was going on with him.
71
00:07:04,190 --> 00:07:06,024
Once the paramedics got there,
72
00:07:06,026 --> 00:07:08,026
they removed his clothing
73
00:07:09,495 --> 00:07:13,265
and which time they found out
wallet with a ID.
74
00:07:13,267 --> 00:07:14,900
We were able to identify
the victim
75
00:07:14,902 --> 00:07:16,468
as Cristian Dominguez.
76
00:07:17,336 --> 00:07:18,670
I looked at the date of birth
77
00:07:18,672 --> 00:07:20,439
and I quickly realized
he had just...
78
00:07:20,441 --> 00:07:21,973
He'd just turned 18.
79
00:07:21,975 --> 00:07:23,308
He was just a kid.
80
00:07:23,310 --> 00:07:26,344
And this horrific accident
that happened to him
81
00:07:26,346 --> 00:07:28,180
in our city
and we didn't know why.
82
00:07:33,153 --> 00:07:36,488
Cristian
is rushed to the hospital.
83
00:07:38,324 --> 00:07:40,792
On this night,
I was an on-call detective
84
00:07:40,794 --> 00:07:43,295
and I got a call
of a hit-and-run.
85
00:07:44,864 --> 00:07:46,598
Detective Coillot is joined
86
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,201
by Sergeant David Janusz.
87
00:07:51,037 --> 00:07:53,338
When I arrived
on scene, I began to look, uh,
88
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:55,340
over the truck
that had been crashed
89
00:07:55,342 --> 00:07:58,009
into the side of the 7-Eleven.
90
00:07:58,011 --> 00:08:00,412
When I observed that
there wasn't any ignition keys
91
00:08:00,414 --> 00:08:03,048
in the ignition
92
00:08:03,050 --> 00:08:05,984
and then it led me to believe
that the driver had fled
93
00:08:05,986 --> 00:08:09,254
from the vehicle, uh,
taking his keys with him,
94
00:08:09,256 --> 00:08:11,256
uh, either out of habit
or out of panic.
95
00:08:13,559 --> 00:08:15,894
So I, uh, ran the license plate
96
00:08:15,896 --> 00:08:18,096
on the Chevy Silverado,
97
00:08:18,098 --> 00:08:20,899
the vehicle was registered
to a Hispanic male
98
00:08:20,901 --> 00:08:23,435
by the name of John Nieto.
99
00:08:25,938 --> 00:08:27,339
The registered owner is usually
100
00:08:27,341 --> 00:08:28,473
the first place we'll start,
101
00:08:28,475 --> 00:08:29,808
but we never assumed
102
00:08:29,810 --> 00:08:32,010
that the registered owner
is the driver.
103
00:08:32,012 --> 00:08:34,913
The vehicle could have been
stolen or carjacked
104
00:08:34,915 --> 00:08:36,882
or it could have been sold
105
00:08:36,884 --> 00:08:39,317
and they didn't do
a transfer of title.
106
00:08:39,319 --> 00:08:41,286
So we were trying to figure out
107
00:08:41,288 --> 00:08:43,889
who the driver
of the vehicle was
108
00:08:43,891 --> 00:08:45,724
and why this actually happened.
109
00:08:47,894 --> 00:08:49,227
Immediately started to look
110
00:08:49,229 --> 00:08:51,029
for as many surveillance cameras
111
00:08:51,031 --> 00:08:52,898
as we could in the area.
112
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:54,132
Janusz.
113
00:08:54,134 --> 00:08:55,800
I know the 7-Eleven.
114
00:08:55,802 --> 00:08:57,102
I know they have surveillance.
115
00:08:57,104 --> 00:09:00,305
I've been to that 7-Eleven
hundreds of times.
116
00:09:03,409 --> 00:09:05,690
Mind if I look
at your surveillance footage?
117
00:09:08,014 --> 00:09:09,047
All right, then.
118
00:09:09,049 --> 00:09:11,082
Cue it up to about 7:15.
119
00:09:16,422 --> 00:09:18,590
So I started to review
the outside footage.
120
00:09:19,992 --> 00:09:22,193
I began with the camera
that faced
121
00:09:22,195 --> 00:09:23,662
where the truck had crashed
122
00:09:23,664 --> 00:09:25,730
hoping to get more information
123
00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:28,266
exactly what had happened
over there.
124
00:09:28,268 --> 00:09:30,201
We were really hoping
that we would be able
125
00:09:30,203 --> 00:09:32,370
to see something that would
piece this together
126
00:09:32,372 --> 00:09:34,439
and move us forward in
with the investigation.
127
00:09:48,688 --> 00:09:49,988
Whoa.
128
00:09:58,264 --> 00:10:01,299
I observed Cristian running
towards the store
129
00:10:01,301 --> 00:10:03,935
and the white truck
chasing down Cristian
130
00:10:03,937 --> 00:10:05,971
at a high rate of speed.
131
00:10:05,973 --> 00:10:07,606
It's heading straight for him.
132
00:10:12,011 --> 00:10:15,013
That truck hit that curb
133
00:10:15,015 --> 00:10:20,051
and continued just going
towards our victim.
134
00:10:22,388 --> 00:10:24,456
Go back, play that again.
135
00:10:26,225 --> 00:10:28,259
The truck wasn't trying to brake
136
00:10:28,261 --> 00:10:31,262
and I think that's significant
for the investigation
137
00:10:31,264 --> 00:10:33,465
because it shows that
this wasn't an accident.
138
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:37,369
So someone did this on purpose.
139
00:10:38,304 --> 00:10:39,404
We tried a different angle,
140
00:10:39,406 --> 00:10:42,173
so we can see more
of what was occurring.
141
00:10:43,876 --> 00:10:46,711
The camera angle
at the back of the 7-Eleven
142
00:10:46,713 --> 00:10:49,247
captures the moment of impact.
143
00:10:54,153 --> 00:10:57,389
The truck
had crashed to something
144
00:10:57,391 --> 00:10:59,257
and bounced off to the side,
145
00:10:59,259 --> 00:11:02,694
ricocheting off of the side
of the 7-Eleven building.
146
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:07,666
It is unimaginable
that someone was capable
147
00:11:07,668 --> 00:11:09,668
of doing something so violent
148
00:11:09,670 --> 00:11:12,404
and horrible
to another human being.
149
00:11:15,541 --> 00:11:17,876
For a young man
running for his life,
150
00:11:17,878 --> 00:11:20,311
knowing that this car,
151
00:11:20,313 --> 00:11:22,881
this missile of 4,000 pounds,
152
00:11:22,883 --> 00:11:25,183
5,000 pounds is coming at him
153
00:11:25,185 --> 00:11:28,053
at 50 to 70 miles an hour,
154
00:11:28,055 --> 00:11:29,487
it's heartbreaking.
155
00:11:29,489 --> 00:11:31,809
All right. Let's
take a look at the interior.
156
00:11:35,828 --> 00:11:37,362
So I began to review the footage
157
00:11:37,364 --> 00:11:39,898
from inside of the store.
158
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:41,833
I wanted to see if anything
happened inside
159
00:11:41,835 --> 00:11:42,934
that might have carried
160
00:11:42,936 --> 00:11:45,136
to the outside parking lot area
161
00:11:45,138 --> 00:11:47,372
such as a fight
or some sort of argument.
162
00:11:54,447 --> 00:11:55,714
Do you have another angle
163
00:11:55,716 --> 00:11:56,716
inside the store?
164
00:12:01,921 --> 00:12:04,022
It appeared to be
business is normal.
165
00:12:06,058 --> 00:12:08,226
None of the cameras
inside of the store
166
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:09,894
show Cristian.
167
00:12:09,896 --> 00:12:11,129
We're gonna need all the footage
168
00:12:11,131 --> 00:12:13,198
from the surveillance cameras
from tonight.
169
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,134
I realized that we're gonna
need more video
170
00:12:16,136 --> 00:12:18,369
to find out where this incident
171
00:12:18,371 --> 00:12:20,071
started from,
172
00:12:20,073 --> 00:12:21,473
so I requested other detectives
173
00:12:21,475 --> 00:12:23,208
to start checking
surrounding businesses
174
00:12:23,210 --> 00:12:25,844
and residences.
175
00:12:25,846 --> 00:12:27,779
Outside the 7-Eleven,
176
00:12:27,781 --> 00:12:30,415
Sergeant Janusz
looks for eyewitnesses.
177
00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:33,952
Camera recording started.
178
00:12:33,954 --> 00:12:35,987
One witness
was actually in the street
179
00:12:35,989 --> 00:12:40,225
in her vehicle and observed
this entire incident happened.
180
00:12:41,193 --> 00:12:43,762
Uh-huh.
181
00:12:45,932 --> 00:12:47,866
Okay.
182
00:12:51,772 --> 00:12:54,906
And she saw Cristian
start to cross the street
183
00:12:54,908 --> 00:12:57,876
through the crosswalk.
She heard screeching tires.
184
00:13:17,763 --> 00:13:20,765
The witness observed the truck
complete a U-turn,
185
00:13:20,767 --> 00:13:22,967
backed out towards Foothill
in the area where Cristian
186
00:13:22,969 --> 00:13:26,237
was hiding behind
two electrical boxes.
187
00:13:46,125 --> 00:13:48,326
The investigators
looked for information
188
00:13:48,328 --> 00:13:51,129
on the registered owner
of the white truck.
189
00:13:51,131 --> 00:13:52,330
Once we started to look
190
00:13:52,332 --> 00:13:53,998
into John Nieto's background
191
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,967
to see if he had any
gang affiliations
192
00:13:55,969 --> 00:13:57,702
or any criminal history.
193
00:13:57,704 --> 00:14:00,104
We didn't find that he had
any prior convictions
194
00:14:00,106 --> 00:14:01,539
of any other crimes.
195
00:14:01,541 --> 00:14:02,874
Anything yet?
196
00:14:02,876 --> 00:14:04,275
No.
197
00:14:05,678 --> 00:14:08,246
Detectives
visit Cristian's family
198
00:14:08,248 --> 00:14:09,981
to inform them
about the incident.
199
00:14:09,983 --> 00:14:11,482
Thanks so much
for having me in, guys.
200
00:14:11,484 --> 00:14:12,951
- No problem.
- No problem.
201
00:14:12,953 --> 00:14:14,319
And they're, like,
"Oh, are you guys related
202
00:14:14,321 --> 00:14:16,354
to Cristian Dominguez?"
203
00:14:22,027 --> 00:14:24,147
There's been
an accident with Cristian.
204
00:14:33,005 --> 00:14:34,272
And I'm gonna need you
to come down
205
00:14:34,274 --> 00:14:36,307
the station with me
and answer few questions.
206
00:14:36,309 --> 00:14:38,509
So it was important for us
to talk to his family
207
00:14:38,511 --> 00:14:41,012
to determine if he'd been
in any fights
208
00:14:41,014 --> 00:14:43,147
or ex-girlfriend drama,
209
00:14:43,149 --> 00:14:45,717
like, who would possibly
do this to him and why.
210
00:14:45,719 --> 00:14:47,852
So we got in the police car.
211
00:14:47,854 --> 00:14:50,521
And he took us down
to the Fontana Station.
212
00:14:52,691 --> 00:14:54,325
Camera recording started.
213
00:14:54,327 --> 00:14:57,395
Detective Coillot
turns on his body camera
214
00:14:57,397 --> 00:14:59,998
and records the conversation.
215
00:15:20,820 --> 00:15:22,020
They didn't know if Cristian
216
00:15:22,022 --> 00:15:23,187
might've got in a fight
with someone
217
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:26,057
or someone had a problem
with him.
218
00:15:33,899 --> 00:15:37,068
They told us that he was
in critical condition
219
00:15:37,070 --> 00:15:39,938
and that they were still
trying to fight for his life.
220
00:15:50,849 --> 00:15:52,383
Cristian's family
221
00:15:52,385 --> 00:15:54,218
didn't know if he was
in a relationship
222
00:15:54,220 --> 00:15:56,254
with anybody but they did know
that he bought
223
00:15:56,256 --> 00:15:58,056
a birthday present for someone,
224
00:15:58,058 --> 00:16:01,359
for a girl
who had just turned 21.
225
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:19,310
Cristian had said
that he was gonna get
226
00:16:19,312 --> 00:16:20,678
a ride home from someone.
227
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:21,913
They didn't know her name.
228
00:16:21,915 --> 00:16:23,348
So we were trying to find out
229
00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:25,817
who actually
dropped Cristian off
230
00:16:25,819 --> 00:16:27,852
at the 7-Eleven.
231
00:16:27,854 --> 00:16:30,455
I remember
we sat there, they left.
232
00:16:30,457 --> 00:16:31,956
I was like,
"Can we see Cristian?
233
00:16:31,958 --> 00:16:33,157
Can we go with Cristian?"
234
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:36,327
It felt like
they were taking forever
235
00:16:36,329 --> 00:16:38,396
for a response
that we just wanted to hear,
236
00:16:38,398 --> 00:16:40,565
like, is he okay?
237
00:16:44,036 --> 00:16:46,104
And then they came in.
238
00:16:47,973 --> 00:16:50,208
Uh, detectives,
they had that face
239
00:16:50,210 --> 00:16:52,510
that they...
that they show on TV
240
00:16:53,512 --> 00:16:54,545
and, um,
241
00:16:56,982 --> 00:17:00,084
they were, like, um,
242
00:17:03,022 --> 00:17:04,989
that Cristian hadn't made it.
243
00:17:05,557 --> 00:17:07,492
That he hadn't made it.
244
00:17:36,255 --> 00:17:37,989
The 7-Eleven footage
is ready to go.
245
00:17:37,991 --> 00:17:39,891
Perfect.
246
00:17:39,893 --> 00:17:41,225
We needed to find out
247
00:17:41,227 --> 00:17:43,194
who drove Cristian
to the 7-Eleven
248
00:17:43,196 --> 00:17:44,362
because that was the last person
249
00:17:44,364 --> 00:17:46,130
to see him alive.
250
00:17:46,132 --> 00:17:49,100
Uh, we started
to backtrack on the footage
251
00:17:49,102 --> 00:17:51,202
and started to check
other camera angles.
252
00:18:11,857 --> 00:18:13,357
As I was reviewing the footage
253
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,259
of the front portion
of 7-Eleven,
254
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:19,330
I observed a gray car
parked in the parking lot.
255
00:18:26,305 --> 00:18:27,371
Keep playing it.
256
00:18:34,513 --> 00:18:36,214
Wait, is that Cristian?
257
00:18:37,416 --> 00:18:38,416
Rewind.
258
00:18:47,693 --> 00:18:48,960
Yeah, that's him.
259
00:18:56,668 --> 00:18:59,070
He didn't appear
to be in any distress,
260
00:18:59,072 --> 00:19:03,508
didn't seem like any issues
were going on.
261
00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:05,009
The vehicle that dropped him off
262
00:19:05,011 --> 00:19:06,511
started to leave.
263
00:19:14,853 --> 00:19:16,320
Because the time of night,
264
00:19:16,322 --> 00:19:18,222
we weren't able to see
who was driving
265
00:19:18,224 --> 00:19:19,924
on that vehicle immediately.
266
00:19:19,926 --> 00:19:21,559
Zoom in on that.
267
00:19:23,795 --> 00:19:25,997
And, uh,
the cameras were too far away
268
00:19:25,999 --> 00:19:29,133
to get the license plate
of that vehicle.
269
00:19:29,135 --> 00:19:31,636
So we dug deeper into the video
270
00:19:31,638 --> 00:19:33,304
and analyzed it frame by frame,
271
00:19:33,306 --> 00:19:36,240
trying to figure out
where the truck came from.
272
00:19:36,242 --> 00:19:41,412
The suspect vehicle
was a Chevy single cab 1500.
273
00:19:41,414 --> 00:19:44,048
In our area
of Southern California,
274
00:19:44,050 --> 00:19:45,583
there's a lot of them.
275
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:49,120
What is that?
276
00:20:00,099 --> 00:20:02,433
So after Cristian
had walked out of view,
277
00:20:03,302 --> 00:20:06,170
you can see the white Chevy
come into view.
278
00:20:14,446 --> 00:20:16,847
Rewind. Let's track
the white truck.
279
00:20:21,753 --> 00:20:25,223
That truck actually
has no headlights on
280
00:20:25,225 --> 00:20:28,326
which is strange
because this is 7:30 at night,
281
00:20:28,328 --> 00:20:30,361
it is completely dark
282
00:20:30,363 --> 00:20:32,029
and then it goes out
of the frame
283
00:20:32,031 --> 00:20:34,398
going east in the same direction
284
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,200
that Cristian is going.
285
00:20:36,202 --> 00:20:38,002
Based
on the witness' statements,
286
00:20:38,004 --> 00:20:40,371
we knew the suspect
actually tried to hit him
287
00:20:40,373 --> 00:20:42,573
the first time
as he crossed the crosswalk.
288
00:20:47,479 --> 00:20:48,479
There it is.
289
00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:56,354
Several seconds later,
290
00:20:56,356 --> 00:20:57,922
it comes back into view,
291
00:20:57,924 --> 00:20:59,624
closer up and does a U-turn.
292
00:21:00,993 --> 00:21:02,326
Turns on its lights
293
00:21:02,328 --> 00:21:05,096
and goes again
at a high rate of speed.
294
00:21:06,932 --> 00:21:08,532
It goes out of the frame
295
00:21:08,534 --> 00:21:11,402
and we know that Cristian
is going in the same direction
296
00:21:11,404 --> 00:21:13,437
but we can't see
either the truck or Cristian
297
00:21:13,439 --> 00:21:15,039
at this point in time.
298
00:21:16,241 --> 00:21:18,409
One of the witnesses said
the suspect takes
299
00:21:18,411 --> 00:21:21,712
another pass at him,
misses him again.
300
00:21:21,714 --> 00:21:25,716
Then Cristian decides to run
back towards the 7-Eleven.
301
00:21:25,718 --> 00:21:26,984
So at that point,
302
00:21:26,986 --> 00:21:28,953
he drove his truck
as fast as he could
303
00:21:28,955 --> 00:21:31,222
and ends up striking Cristian
as he's running away.
304
00:21:32,924 --> 00:21:34,358
It wasn't a hit-and-run.
305
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:36,093
Whoever drove
that truck intentionally
306
00:21:36,095 --> 00:21:37,528
ran over Cristian.
307
00:21:39,331 --> 00:21:41,599
It's now clear that the truck
308
00:21:41,601 --> 00:21:44,435
was lying in wait for Cristian.
309
00:21:44,437 --> 00:21:46,871
So detectives backtracked
through the footage
310
00:21:46,873 --> 00:21:49,040
to determine when it arrived.
311
00:21:52,311 --> 00:21:55,112
They focused their attention
on the main street.
312
00:22:12,064 --> 00:22:13,064
There it is.
313
00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:20,371
You can see
the gray car pull up.
314
00:22:24,076 --> 00:22:26,444
And then several seconds later,
315
00:22:26,446 --> 00:22:28,713
you can see the white Chevy
come into view.
316
00:22:35,387 --> 00:22:39,290
Made a U-turn,
parked with its lights off,
317
00:22:39,292 --> 00:22:42,293
facing the 7-Eleven
as if it was...
318
00:22:42,295 --> 00:22:45,663
watching Cristian
or knew Cristian was there.
319
00:22:53,105 --> 00:22:54,672
He watches him.
320
00:22:58,210 --> 00:23:01,145
We then observed the white
Chevy Silverado pull out.
321
00:23:07,753 --> 00:23:09,353
So we wanted to piece together
322
00:23:09,355 --> 00:23:12,022
exactly what was causing
the driver of this truck
323
00:23:12,024 --> 00:23:14,258
to intentionally
try to run over Cristian.
324
00:23:21,166 --> 00:23:23,033
The truck's registered owner,
325
00:23:23,035 --> 00:23:26,937
John Nieto is linked
to several addresses.
326
00:23:26,939 --> 00:23:29,240
The investigators
want to make sure
327
00:23:29,242 --> 00:23:30,875
they have the right one.
328
00:23:30,877 --> 00:23:32,476
We didn't wanna tip him off
329
00:23:32,478 --> 00:23:34,278
to the fact that we were
currently investigating him
330
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,313
or his residence.
331
00:23:36,315 --> 00:23:38,182
We wanted to make sure
that we had
332
00:23:38,184 --> 00:23:40,217
all of our information
gathered correctly
333
00:23:40,219 --> 00:23:42,052
before we made contact.
334
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:11,482
And I can hear him
screaming, "No."
335
00:24:12,918 --> 00:24:15,286
That, "No, no, it wasn't true.
No, no, no, no."
336
00:24:15,288 --> 00:24:16,954
That's all I heard.
337
00:24:18,457 --> 00:24:20,224
It was heartbreaking to hear.
338
00:24:23,795 --> 00:24:25,196
Armando felt guilt.
339
00:24:25,931 --> 00:24:29,133
He felt like
it was his fault in a way
340
00:24:29,135 --> 00:24:32,636
'cause his job was to protect
his brother and he didn't.
341
00:24:40,479 --> 00:24:44,148
Detectives notified me, uh,
that they had located a house
342
00:24:44,150 --> 00:24:45,950
directly west to the 7-Eleven
343
00:24:45,952 --> 00:24:48,085
that had a video
surveillance footage.
344
00:24:48,087 --> 00:24:50,127
All right. Let's see if this
gives us something new.
345
00:25:03,335 --> 00:25:06,270
I could see Cristian running.
346
00:25:06,272 --> 00:25:09,073
I could see
the truck chasing him.
347
00:25:09,075 --> 00:25:11,442
Play it again
and punch it in on Cristian.
348
00:25:16,748 --> 00:25:18,115
He's just in complete panic
349
00:25:18,117 --> 00:25:19,617
trying to get away
from this vehicle.
350
00:25:21,353 --> 00:25:22,520
Keep playing.
351
00:25:25,824 --> 00:25:28,158
I could see that the subject
that exited the vehicle
352
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,896
appeared to be a male
and we watched him run,
353
00:25:31,898 --> 00:25:34,064
uh, north from the vehicle
out of sight.
354
00:25:34,066 --> 00:25:35,900
Rewind. Let's see that again.
355
00:25:51,850 --> 00:25:52,850
Hold on.
356
00:25:54,219 --> 00:25:56,120
It also showed the driver
357
00:25:56,122 --> 00:25:57,655
going back into the truck.
358
00:26:04,296 --> 00:26:07,131
And then running up
Alder one last time.
359
00:26:08,366 --> 00:26:11,035
I didn't believe
that the driver of this truck
360
00:26:11,037 --> 00:26:12,369
had any concern about
361
00:26:12,371 --> 00:26:14,939
what injuries
he caused Cristian.
362
00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:20,678
And noting that the keys
in ignition were missing,
363
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,513
it led me to believe
that the individual
364
00:26:22,515 --> 00:26:24,515
grabbed the keys
out of the ignition.
365
00:26:24,517 --> 00:26:25,583
Can you keep playing?
366
00:26:35,126 --> 00:26:36,460
Hang on, what's that car doing?
367
00:26:39,164 --> 00:26:40,764
Few seconds later, I observed
368
00:26:40,766 --> 00:26:43,367
a vehicle driving slowly
369
00:26:43,369 --> 00:26:45,302
through
the 7-Eleven parking lot,
370
00:26:45,304 --> 00:26:47,271
it ultimately
pulled out onto Alder
371
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:49,573
and drove in the same
direction as the suspect.
372
00:26:50,709 --> 00:26:52,910
We weren't
what this other car was.
373
00:26:52,912 --> 00:26:54,278
We didn't know
if it was a witness
374
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:59,016
or a good Samaritan
chasing the suspect down.
375
00:26:59,018 --> 00:27:00,218
We just knew it was important.
376
00:27:16,067 --> 00:27:17,301
So when we were watching
377
00:27:17,303 --> 00:27:19,169
the 7-Eleven video again,
378
00:27:19,171 --> 00:27:22,673
you can barely see
the movement of the driver
379
00:27:22,675 --> 00:27:24,308
appeared to come back
to the truck.
380
00:27:34,986 --> 00:27:37,154
But then you see
a female come into frame.
381
00:27:59,878 --> 00:28:01,011
She starts to run
in the direction
382
00:28:01,013 --> 00:28:03,147
of where the suspect had ran.
383
00:28:04,215 --> 00:28:06,116
She starts to come back
384
00:28:06,551 --> 00:28:08,118
and looks at Cristian.
385
00:28:24,436 --> 00:28:27,171
She just casually
walked out of the frame.
386
00:28:28,073 --> 00:28:31,075
Kinda confusing
as to why, uh, they either
387
00:28:31,077 --> 00:28:33,110
wouldn't try to help Cristian
388
00:28:33,112 --> 00:28:35,145
or wouldn't stay on scene
389
00:28:35,147 --> 00:28:36,947
and call 911 for help.
390
00:28:38,316 --> 00:28:41,118
Switch back to that, um,
that residential camera.
391
00:28:54,666 --> 00:28:56,266
Rewind. See that again.
392
00:29:01,239 --> 00:29:03,474
You see the female motion
393
00:29:03,476 --> 00:29:06,310
in the direction
of where the suspect was.
394
00:29:06,312 --> 00:29:08,412
I've never seen
anything like this before,
395
00:29:08,414 --> 00:29:11,982
but my instinct would be
to run to the victim.
396
00:29:12,851 --> 00:29:15,853
My impression
was they knew each other.
397
00:29:15,855 --> 00:29:17,521
And then you can see her
398
00:29:17,523 --> 00:29:19,823
walking back
towards the direction
399
00:29:19,825 --> 00:29:22,126
of the front of the 7-Eleven.
400
00:29:23,461 --> 00:29:24,828
Moments later,
401
00:29:24,830 --> 00:29:27,865
the gray car pulls out
of the 7-Eleven
402
00:29:27,867 --> 00:29:31,468
and drives north in the same
direction as the suspect.
403
00:29:34,939 --> 00:29:36,140
Okay. Change angles.
404
00:29:36,142 --> 00:29:38,275
Let's see
if we can piece this together.
405
00:29:41,212 --> 00:29:42,312
We're able to determine
406
00:29:42,314 --> 00:29:44,648
that the female
got into a gray car.
407
00:29:46,084 --> 00:29:48,986
And then she drove
northbound on Alder.
408
00:29:48,988 --> 00:29:51,555
Is that the gray car
that dropped off Cristian?
409
00:29:55,894 --> 00:29:58,195
You can definitely tell
it's the same car.
410
00:30:00,031 --> 00:30:01,765
So we start to wonder,
411
00:30:01,767 --> 00:30:05,235
are these two people
working in consort
412
00:30:05,237 --> 00:30:08,605
to make sure that Cristian
gets killed that day?
413
00:30:14,712 --> 00:30:18,715
I went down to the warehouse
to try to find out
414
00:30:19,818 --> 00:30:23,153
who possibly
could've taken Cristian home
415
00:30:24,956 --> 00:30:26,690
because the family had said
that he gets rides
416
00:30:26,692 --> 00:30:28,358
from other coworkers.
417
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,459
The family said
that he had bought
418
00:30:29,461 --> 00:30:31,128
a birthday present for someone.
419
00:30:31,130 --> 00:30:33,897
The manager had said
that one of the employees
420
00:30:33,899 --> 00:30:36,800
that he hung out with
had just had a birthday.
421
00:30:36,802 --> 00:30:39,102
We started looking
into who that was.
422
00:30:39,971 --> 00:30:42,005
Meantime at the station,
423
00:30:42,007 --> 00:30:45,542
investigators dig for more
information on John Nieto.
424
00:30:46,511 --> 00:30:48,111
We started to pull up
425
00:30:48,113 --> 00:30:50,614
his driver's license photo
just to get a picture.
426
00:30:52,350 --> 00:30:54,418
Uh, we started to dive
into social media,
427
00:30:54,420 --> 00:30:57,387
we found some accounts
that related to John Nieto,
428
00:30:57,389 --> 00:31:00,424
uh, that further
matched the photo
429
00:31:00,426 --> 00:31:02,492
from his driver's license.
430
00:31:02,494 --> 00:31:05,662
We identified a female
that he appeared
431
00:31:05,664 --> 00:31:07,297
to be in a relationship with
by the name
432
00:31:07,299 --> 00:31:10,067
of, uh, Elisabeth Mancilla.
433
00:31:11,102 --> 00:31:13,237
As I started
to look into her further, uh,
434
00:31:13,239 --> 00:31:15,339
Detective Coillot called me.
435
00:31:15,341 --> 00:31:16,840
Janusz.
436
00:31:16,842 --> 00:31:18,242
And informed me
that Cristian hangs out
437
00:31:18,244 --> 00:31:20,077
with three females at work
438
00:31:20,079 --> 00:31:22,679
and one of them had just had
a 21st birthday.
439
00:31:22,681 --> 00:31:24,948
Her name's Elisabeth Mancilla.
440
00:31:26,284 --> 00:31:27,484
Thanks.
441
00:31:29,187 --> 00:31:30,954
I started
to look into other vehicles
442
00:31:30,956 --> 00:31:32,656
that were registered
to John Nieto.
443
00:31:33,858 --> 00:31:36,860
I found a Infiniti G35
444
00:31:36,862 --> 00:31:39,129
that was also registered
to John Nieto.
445
00:31:41,065 --> 00:31:45,135
I checked to see the color
of John Nieto's G35,
446
00:31:45,137 --> 00:31:47,070
which matched the same vehicle
447
00:31:47,072 --> 00:31:48,872
that I observed
dropped Cristian off
448
00:31:48,874 --> 00:31:50,107
at the 7-Eleven.
449
00:31:51,943 --> 00:31:56,146
So we kinda connected the dots
between Elisabeth
450
00:31:56,148 --> 00:31:59,082
being the girlfriend
of John Nieto.
451
00:31:59,084 --> 00:32:02,019
Elisabeth being
the coworker of Cristian.
452
00:32:02,021 --> 00:32:06,089
Elisabeth being the one
who drives the gray Infiniti.
453
00:32:07,458 --> 00:32:10,527
We were able to compare
her driver's license photo
454
00:32:10,529 --> 00:32:12,996
to the video of the female
455
00:32:12,998 --> 00:32:15,399
who walked towards Cristian.
456
00:32:15,401 --> 00:32:17,467
We were able to confirm
it was her.
457
00:32:23,675 --> 00:32:25,876
Once we found out
the plate of the Infiniti,
458
00:32:25,878 --> 00:32:29,046
we found out
that that license plate
459
00:32:29,048 --> 00:32:31,982
had been scanned
overnight numerous times
460
00:32:31,984 --> 00:32:35,252
at a apartment complex
in the city of Rialto.
461
00:32:35,254 --> 00:32:38,522
So we put a surveillance team
at that apartment complex.
462
00:32:39,891 --> 00:32:43,694
They see Elisabeth Mancilla's
car parked out in front.
463
00:32:43,696 --> 00:32:46,930
That's the same
four-door gray sedan
464
00:32:46,932 --> 00:32:49,399
who dropped off
the victim Cristian
465
00:32:49,401 --> 00:32:51,001
right before he was killed.
466
00:32:54,039 --> 00:32:56,173
But as the hours tick by,
467
00:32:56,175 --> 00:33:00,410
there's no sign of John Nieto
or Elisabeth Mancilla.
468
00:33:03,681 --> 00:33:04,881
So we were really hoping
469
00:33:04,883 --> 00:33:07,351
that the suspect
hadn't fled on foot.
470
00:33:11,155 --> 00:33:13,490
And then finally
they observed a female
471
00:33:13,492 --> 00:33:15,926
and a male exit an apartment.
472
00:33:15,928 --> 00:33:18,929
Uh, the female appeared
to be Elisabeth Mancilla
473
00:33:18,931 --> 00:33:21,131
and the male matched
the driver's license photo
474
00:33:21,133 --> 00:33:22,399
for John Nieto.
475
00:33:25,536 --> 00:33:27,404
John Nieto
got in the gray Infiniti
476
00:33:27,406 --> 00:33:28,638
and left the location.
477
00:33:35,246 --> 00:33:36,947
The Fontana Police Department,
478
00:33:36,949 --> 00:33:39,116
uh, conducted
a traffic stop on John Nieto
479
00:33:39,118 --> 00:33:40,717
and took him into custody.
480
00:33:45,790 --> 00:33:49,059
Other detectives and officers
were able to detain Elisabeth.
481
00:33:50,495 --> 00:33:51,828
But at this point
in the investigation,
482
00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:53,630
Elisabeth was still
just a witness.
483
00:33:57,969 --> 00:33:59,669
Once John Nieto was detained,
484
00:33:59,671 --> 00:34:01,238
I conducted an interview
with him.
485
00:34:05,443 --> 00:34:08,412
He had a very
calm demeanor about himself.
486
00:34:09,180 --> 00:34:10,714
He even kinda had a smirk.
487
00:34:25,263 --> 00:34:28,265
He said after, uh,
a warning that he gave her
488
00:34:28,267 --> 00:34:30,367
to stop texting with other men,
489
00:34:30,369 --> 00:34:32,035
Elisabeth had texted another man
490
00:34:32,037 --> 00:34:33,537
which ended up being Cristian.
491
00:34:53,925 --> 00:34:56,093
So John had even called Cristian
492
00:34:56,095 --> 00:34:58,695
at one point
and basically threatened,
493
00:34:58,697 --> 00:35:01,231
um, Cristian, um,
494
00:35:01,233 --> 00:35:02,966
to stop any type of relationship
495
00:35:02,968 --> 00:35:04,234
he had with Elisabeth.
496
00:35:21,986 --> 00:35:23,353
He lays out
497
00:35:23,355 --> 00:35:26,022
that this was willful
498
00:35:26,024 --> 00:35:27,090
premeditated,
499
00:35:27,092 --> 00:35:28,525
deliberated,
500
00:35:28,527 --> 00:35:31,161
and that that had been
building over time.
501
00:35:41,172 --> 00:35:42,205
Uh-huh.
502
00:35:47,145 --> 00:35:49,045
He let his anger get to him.
503
00:35:49,047 --> 00:35:51,615
And at this point,
his rage was so high.
504
00:36:38,095 --> 00:36:40,197
He knows that he just
murdered somebody
505
00:36:40,199 --> 00:36:42,432
and, uh, really didn't care.
506
00:36:48,706 --> 00:36:50,407
Detectives turn their attention
507
00:36:50,409 --> 00:36:52,509
to Elisabeth Mancilla.
508
00:36:52,511 --> 00:36:54,177
There was part
of us that thought
509
00:36:54,179 --> 00:36:57,280
that Elisabeth set him up.
510
00:36:57,282 --> 00:36:59,449
Where she actually
took Cristian to the 7-Eleven
511
00:36:59,451 --> 00:37:01,384
at a certain time
and coordinated
512
00:37:01,386 --> 00:37:04,621
with John Nieto
to have Cristian murdered.
513
00:37:12,864 --> 00:37:15,232
I conducted the interview
with Elisabeth Mancilla.
514
00:37:15,234 --> 00:37:18,268
She showed, like,
zero to little emotion.
515
00:37:18,270 --> 00:37:20,303
Real calm.
516
00:37:43,361 --> 00:37:45,862
Turns out she wasn't
even cheating on him.
517
00:37:45,864 --> 00:37:46,997
They weren't even together.
518
00:38:17,795 --> 00:38:20,130
She decided to look at Cristian
519
00:38:20,132 --> 00:38:23,266
lying there helpless,
get in her car,
520
00:38:23,268 --> 00:38:25,201
go find John
521
00:38:25,203 --> 00:38:27,337
and then help him
escape the scene.
522
00:38:27,339 --> 00:38:30,173
Detectives find
no evidence that Elisabeth
523
00:38:30,175 --> 00:38:33,176
was involved in the planning
of Cristian's murder.
524
00:38:33,178 --> 00:38:34,944
Elisabeth has acted
525
00:38:34,946 --> 00:38:37,080
as an accessory after the fact.
526
00:38:37,082 --> 00:38:40,083
And what that means
for her legally is that
527
00:38:40,085 --> 00:38:42,118
she at the very least has been
528
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,487
harboring a known criminal.
529
00:38:45,956 --> 00:38:49,926
She went out
of her way to help hide John
530
00:38:49,928 --> 00:38:52,228
and get him out of the area.
531
00:38:52,230 --> 00:38:54,331
In harboring him
in her apartment
532
00:38:54,333 --> 00:38:55,965
while police were obviously
533
00:38:55,967 --> 00:38:57,467
trying to investigate the crime
534
00:38:57,469 --> 00:39:00,236
and track down the person
responsible for it,
535
00:39:00,238 --> 00:39:02,205
made her a criminal.
536
00:39:04,709 --> 00:39:06,876
Investigators
can now piece together
537
00:39:06,878 --> 00:39:09,846
the events leading
to Cristian's murder.
538
00:39:09,848 --> 00:39:12,415
Cristian and Elisabeth
worked together
539
00:39:12,417 --> 00:39:16,453
and Elisabeth had told John
540
00:39:16,455 --> 00:39:19,222
that she was gonna be
working overtime.
541
00:39:19,224 --> 00:39:22,992
And this is kinda
what triggered John
542
00:39:22,994 --> 00:39:24,694
to do something about...
543
00:39:25,796 --> 00:39:28,264
the relationship
that he thought was going on.
544
00:39:28,266 --> 00:39:30,834
So he started to develop
this plan in his mind.
545
00:39:30,836 --> 00:39:34,904
He drove his truck
to another convenience store,
546
00:39:34,906 --> 00:39:37,707
um, located across the street
from the 7-Eleven,
547
00:39:37,709 --> 00:39:40,176
so he could a clear view
of who's coming and going
548
00:39:40,178 --> 00:39:41,711
from the parking lot.
549
00:39:41,713 --> 00:39:44,414
He was lying in wait,
waiting for that moment,
550
00:39:44,416 --> 00:39:46,216
waiting for that opportunity.
551
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:50,553
So when Elisabeth
drove up in her Infiniti
552
00:39:50,555 --> 00:39:52,021
and she pulled
into the parking lot
553
00:39:52,023 --> 00:39:53,456
at the 7-Eleven,
554
00:39:53,458 --> 00:39:56,259
he waited for Cristian
to get out of the car,
555
00:39:56,261 --> 00:39:58,161
and he watched him
get out of the car,
556
00:39:58,163 --> 00:40:00,029
and walked to the corner.
557
00:40:00,031 --> 00:40:02,198
When John saw Cristian
558
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,067
get out of his car
559
00:40:04,069 --> 00:40:06,336
that he provided for Elisabeth
560
00:40:06,338 --> 00:40:08,471
to go to work,
561
00:40:08,473 --> 00:40:11,975
this is what was like
the last straw for him.
562
00:40:14,879 --> 00:40:16,379
At that point,
he needed to kill him.
563
00:40:17,915 --> 00:40:20,316
He tried hitting Cristian
one time and missed.
564
00:40:21,118 --> 00:40:24,354
And that is when John
is able to do the U-turn
565
00:40:24,356 --> 00:40:27,924
in the 7-Eleven parking lot,
come back around,
566
00:40:27,926 --> 00:40:30,126
and run Cristian down
567
00:40:30,128 --> 00:40:32,395
and smash his body
against the wall.
568
00:40:36,367 --> 00:40:38,067
And that's how he died.
569
00:40:41,172 --> 00:40:44,307
Elisabeth Mancilla
is offered a plea deal
570
00:40:44,309 --> 00:40:47,677
and is convicted
of accessory to a felony.
571
00:40:47,679 --> 00:40:49,979
For testifying
against John Nieto,
572
00:40:49,981 --> 00:40:51,881
she is given a lesser sentence
573
00:40:51,883 --> 00:40:54,384
of 150 days in county jail
574
00:40:54,386 --> 00:40:56,386
with weekend work release.
575
00:40:58,088 --> 00:41:01,124
John Nieto is convicted
of first degree murder
576
00:41:01,126 --> 00:41:04,527
and sentenced to 25 years
to life in prison.
577
00:41:18,509 --> 00:41:20,977
The video helped us out
a tremendous amount
578
00:41:20,979 --> 00:41:23,313
by showing us a premeditation,
579
00:41:23,315 --> 00:41:24,647
by showing a stalking,
580
00:41:25,783 --> 00:41:28,384
and unfortunately
ultimately it showed,
581
00:41:28,386 --> 00:41:30,286
uh, John striking Cristian
with his truck
582
00:41:30,288 --> 00:41:31,454
and killing him.
583
00:41:50,274 --> 00:41:52,842
I've thought about, like,
if I had him here with me
584
00:41:52,844 --> 00:41:56,012
one-one day
to be able to tell him,
585
00:41:56,881 --> 00:41:59,382
um, how I feel about him
not being here,
586
00:41:59,384 --> 00:42:01,217
I would tell him that I miss him
587
00:42:01,219 --> 00:42:04,320
and he's always in my heart,
in my prayers and...
588
00:42:05,923 --> 00:42:07,690
like, to keep taking care of us.
589
00:42:09,226 --> 00:42:11,961
And especially
his brother Armando.
590
00:42:13,063 --> 00:42:15,198
Because Armando's heart
aches about it.
591
00:42:17,434 --> 00:42:19,202
I'm pregnant now, I'm...
592
00:42:20,204 --> 00:42:23,039
I feel like a perfect name
593
00:42:23,041 --> 00:42:24,707
for my child would be Cristian.
594
00:42:24,731 --> 00:42:26,731
