Previously on Shots Fired...
You speak to Javier's lawyer?

He's seeking to characterize
you as an unfit mother.

Unless you show the court

you're working to fix
these issues,

you're going to lose
your child.

Officer Beck to headquarters.

I need some units. Shots fired!

As you reflect on
the life of Jesse Carr,

will you become a better person?

Joey Campbell was murdered
three weeks ago.

So I pose this question to our
governor: what about Joey?

Y'all talk to Pastor Janae?
Why?

Few weeks ago, she found out
Joey was hustling.

Had him tuned up.
She had them put hands on him?

Cops ain't the only ones round
here people scared of.

I think Beck's a good cop
in a bad department.

You think Beck shot Jesse
over race.

We need to work both cases.

Jesse's case and Joey's.

No more going behind
each other's backs.

We have to trust each other.

You heard there was
some witnesses.

Have any come forward?
A lady named Kiana.

Told some people she was there
when they took my boy.

No one's got answers for you
because you keep asking

the wrong questions.

So what's the right question?

Talk to us,
we can protect you.

Hear anything about Joey?

No, not Joey,
but another boy, Cory.

No one's seen him.
How long's he been gone?

Ever since he talked to you.

Hey, come on, man!

Cory have any priors?
None.

What about his parents?
His dad was in jail

for a couple of days
for a parking ticket.

Who is it?

Department of Justice.

We just need a minute
of your time.

I ain't got a minute.

It's about
Cory Grant.

What?
Cory Grant!

This will work better
if you just open the door.

What do y'all want
with my son?

We think he might have
information concerning

Joey Campbell's murder.

No, he don't.

He doing okay?

I hear he's missing.

I haven't seen him
in a couple of days.
A couple of days?

Usually he goes to my sister's
house when we get into it,

she haven't seen him,
nobody seen him.

You haven't filed
a missing persons report?

Mr. Grant,

the first 48 hours are critical.

Okay.

All units report...

Get your ass back here!

Now, Deputy!

All available units
please respond.

Don't go running
into a situation

you know nothing about!

All units, shots fired.

All available units
please respond.

Ready?

Move.

* The whole world sitting... *

Got left!
Yeah.

* The whole world sitting
on a ticking bomb *

Here!

I got you.

* So keep your calm, carry on *

* The whole world sitting
on a ticking bomb *

Deceased.

* The sun will never
rise again *

Headquarters,
shot crime scene...

What you got?

African-American male.
17, 18 years old.

Are you gonna be all right?

I'm fine.

You're a long ways off
the Jesse Carr scene.

We were passing through,
heard the shots.

See it all the time in here.

Rival dealers getting into
a beef over a corner.

This kid's an athlete.

How many dealers
you know hydrate?

You'd be surprised.

Whatever he was,
he was somebody's son.

Who was most likely killed
by another black guy.

Now, where are all your cameras
and your protesters now?

* And it's about to explode. *

* If our stars don't shine
in the darkness *

* Where do we go from here?

* Where do we go?

* Do we hold on to the dream
regardless? *

* Where do we go from here?

You know, I've been to funerals
with open caskets before.

Saw Jesse Carr in his. But...

I've never seen a brother just
laid out like that.

How do you get used to it?

There's something about the eyes
when a person dies.

One moment they have life...

and then something changes.

Don't know how to describe it,
but you never get used to it.

How's Deputy Beck?

He's fine, Donnie.

I retire, they fill my slot
with one of them.

You're drunk, man.

Is that why
you look so pretty?

Hey.

I'm making a petition.

Beck has gotta go.

It was a clean shoot.

I'm not that drunk.

Here.

Sign.

Here, come on.

You, too.

Get the hell out of my face.

Tell this deputy who I am.

Brooks, this is Donnie.

He did 30 years.

Eight years as captain.

But now he's just
a sorry-ass drunk.

You know how scared
you used to be

working the neighborhood,
Calvert?

How you almost pissed your pants

first day on patrol? Huh?

You know what,
you're a disgrace.

You...

your deputy...

...and your black cop
boyfriend.

Okay, can we...

Can you,
can you put your...

Come on, baby, will
you help Mama out?

Mind your head.

You're in?

The shoes.

Christian, that is not the shirt
I laid out for you.

Get back in there and change.
But Mom!

Hurry up, please!
You're gonna be late.

Put your shoes on,
Daddy's ready.

Come on, hustle, hustle, hustle.

Kerry, can you drive the boys
to school today?

I want to clear my head.

Yeah. Honey...
Thanks.

One question, Deputy Beck,
please!

Have you given
any more thought

to sitting with
the psychologist?

Kerry, my union rep
bailed on me.

Psych gonna help me with that?

Do you have a comment
on the cell phone video?

Right here!

We just want to hear your side
of the story, Deputy.

Your daughter's
been asking for you.

Mr. Cano is granting permission
for a scheduled call.

I shouldn't even have to ask
for permission.

Ashe, this is a good thing.

What time's the call?

Tomorrow. After school.
2:00 p.m.

Everything all right?

All good.

I offered Deputy Beck spiritual
counseling, and he declined.

That's all I know about him.

Oh, and that he's
the only black face

in the sheriff's department.

Ever witness Deputy Beck
be aggressive with anyone?

The deputies in our community
are always aggressive.

That isn't their problem.

Their problem is that they don't
know how to be effective.

That why you started
your own street patrol?

"The Hands"?

To be more effective?

What's that short for,
the Hands of God?

If we could police ourselves,
we wouldn't need anybody

from the outside coming in here

with their quick
trigger fingers.

That include scaring
Joey Campbell straight?

Heard he sold weed.

Figured The Hands may have
had an issue with that.

What does this have to do
with Deputy Beck or Jesse Carr?

Aren't you also seeking
justice for Joey Campbell?

We heard a young man
by the name of Cory Grant

may have seen something.

First I heard about it.

Figured you knew everything
popping off in The Houses.

What did Cory tell you?

Nothing, he's been missing
for the last couple of days.

Any idea where we should
start looking for him?

No, but I'll ask around.

Hello, Ms. Carr,
my name's Penn Moder.

I know who you are--
you're running for governor.

First, I just want to offer
my condolences.

What happened to your son
was a hate crime.

He did not deserve to die
at the hands of a racist cop.

You didn't even know my son.

I know a promising
young life was cut short.

And I know that we need
to make sure

it never happens to anyone
else's son, ever again.

You can know all those things,

but it still doesn't
bring my son back.

No, but we can make his death
mean something more.

I'm proposing the
"Jesse Carr Call First" bill.

Whenever anyone under 21 is
pulled over in Oakdale County,

the deputy has to call
the child's parents first

before he can ask them
to exit the vehicle.

This protects the youth,
it protects the parents,

and the deputy.

You want to use my son's death
as a political platform.

No, I want to honor
his memory.

His memory's not for sale.

Governor Eamons called
the D.O.J. in for a reason.

They're not investigating
that cop to get to the truth.

They're investigating
that cop to create a new one.

And they're not going to stop
until they have gutted

every good memory
that you have of your son.

You need to leave.

I'll keep you in my prayers.

We are outside the house
of Alicia Carr,

mother of slain victim
Jesse Carr.

Penn Moder has
just visited...

the Carr household
at this time...

Toxicology report
for Jesse Carr.

No traces of marijuana
in his system.

Weed was found in
the glove compartment.

Maybe Jesse planned
to party later on.

Or maybe his mother
was right about him

and he didn't do drugs.

Before you give him
a halo...

Blood alcohol level of .08.

He was legally drunk.

Are you close
to making an arrest?

Well, the investigation
is still ongoing,

but we just need
to clarify a few things.

How long had Jesse been
struggling with alcohol?

He wasn't.

That is Jesse, correct?

He did spend a month
in a rehab facility?

Oh, God, that was...

No, his-his teacher

caught him and some
friends with alcohol

after a football game.

I just wanted to stop it
before it got out of hand.

By rehab over just one incident?

I'm a recovering alcoholic.

Been sober for six months now.

In Alicia's typical fashion,
she overreacted.

You don't get to say that.

You weren't there.

Not for 15 years.

You shouldn't be here now.

He called me.

What?
Six weeks ago.

He said he was having problems
adjusting to college life.

He wanted advice.

So what did you say?

I told him to be himself.

He said he wasn't sure
if he knew how.

He told me
everything was fine.

He didn't want you to worry.

Jesse died with alcohol
in his system.

He was driving drunk?

Possibly.

Was he pulled over
for drunk driving?

No, he wasn't.

Then what is this?

You're just trying to dig up
any dirt you can on my son?

Only two people know
what happened that day:

your son and Deputy Beck.

We're being thorough in
our investigation of both.

My son can't speak
for himself.

He was murdered.

But all you care about
is protecting your own.

Jesse's car.

It was his high school
graduation present.

They told me it's in impound.

When can I have it?

I'll look into it.

*

When word got out
to the white community

about how good
my father's cooking was,

white people started sneaking in
the back door for take-out.

Some say integration
in Gate Station didn't begin

with the
civil rights movement.

It began with white people
wanting our cobbler.

I bet he's got
a lot of stories.

Very few of them are true.

I appreciate you
coming down, Governor.

Showing your support in
The Gate will go a long way.

Contrary to what you imply,
I have always had an affinity

for the people
of this community.

I called you out because
I knew you'd listen.

When you ran
in your first term,

you said you would be governor
of all the people.

The wealthy
and the middle class.

And I meant it.

Not the lower class?

You are aware I have decreased
state taxes for the poor

and I am fighting to raise
the minimum wage.

I appreciate that,
but we need more.

What else do you appreciate?

I'm not Reverend DuPont.
Noted.

But we could have met
in a more private place.

What do you really want?

To serve.

What else?

I want you, Governor Eamons,
to serve as well.

* Didn't even really wanna go *

* But if you get me out,
you get a show *

* There's so many bodies
on the floor *

* So, baby, we should go
and add some more *

* Are you down, d-d-down,
d-d-down *

* D-d-down, down, down? *

Alicia Carr is here.

* Everywhere I look
are people's hands *

Ms. Carr.

Can I help you?

I'm in.

Okay.

* Are you down,
d-d-down, d-d-down? *

* D-d-down, down, down? *

FOX 46 obtained exclusive video
of the moments

right after shots were fired.

We do want to warn you, though,

these images you're about to see
are pretty graphic.

They show a young man's life
over after an apparent drug stop

went horribly wrong.

It happened when a Gate Station
sheriff's deputy pulled over

19-year-old Jesse Carr.

Officials say there
was some sort of altercation,

and then the shots were fired.

Carr, an NC State freshman and
Gate Station native was unarmed.

Ms. Carr?

What's all this?

Is there something
you needed?

Your son's car.

They need you to sign
these release forms.

You know what, I want to put
the chair over there.

Interesting new friends.

I believed you when you
first said you're here

to police the police.

I don't believe you
anymore.

Excuse me.

Take your time.

Yeah.

Quiet, please,
quiet on the set.

Rollin'.

Speed.

So, um... where do I look?

Oh, I'm sorry, yes,
right in the camera.

Just take your time,
whenever you're ready, okay?

My son, Jesse,
was my best friend.

He was murdered by someone
trained and paid by tax dollars

to protect him.

My life has been shattered.

I know it's not a dream,

but I wake up every day
wishing it was.

Penn Moder is
introducing a bill

that would require
police officers

to call the parents
of anyone under 21

pulled over from Oakdale.

When a police officer
breaks the law,

they should be held accountable.

Someone should be held
accountable.

I'll stand behind anyone
willing to speak up for us,

for mothers...

All mothers.

Penn Moder is that person.

Thanks for all you do,
Governor.

Good afternoon,
Governor Eamons.

Good afternoon, Pastor.

The mother's name
is Shameeka Campbell.

Younger son,
Shawn, is 13?

You've done your homework.

Shameeka Campbell,
Governor Eamons.

It's truly a pleasure
to meet you, Ms. Campbell.

You have my
sincere condolences.

Thank you, Governor.

This is my aide,
Sarah Ellis.

Please, y'all come on in.

Have a seat.

Thank you,
what a nice home.

Oh, it ain't much.

It's impressive.

Tells me a lot about you.

- This is Shawn.
- My youngest.

Thank you for coming
to visit us, Governor.

Thank you for having us.

Would you like
some sweet tea or lemonade?

Tea, please.
Okay.

The same, thank you.

Oh, I was, uh, I was at work

and Joey was dribbling
a ball in the house.

I come home

and find the tile
taped together like that.

I got so mad.

Even at 17, he looked like he
could cry when I yelled at him.

Always my baby.

Now I just... I want it
to stay like that, you know?

Well, you could give my daughter
some organizational pointers.

Moms is no joke.

She runs a tight ship.

Think the Hornets
will break through this year?

That was my brother's.

Actually, most of this was his.

I shared a room growing up
with my sister.

I was also the youngest.

She hogged all
the wall space, too.

So you like being governor?

Most of the time.

What's the best part
about your job?

Helping people.

Maybe you can
help the Hornets, then.

We really want to thank you both
for your hospitality

and I'll make sure the sheriff's
office is doing

everything they can
to get your son justice.

You have my word.

Do you have
any pull with GSS?

The school board?

Yes, ma'am.

Um, they're shutting down
Shawn's school,

West Gate Middle School, saying
he got to go to the nearest one,

which is 15 times worse.

Now he a straight-A student,
he got a chance.

The minute he go to the
other school, I just...

You know, I don't know
what kind of future he'll have.

I'm not sure what I can do
if the school is closing.

But I will look into it.

If you ever need
anything at all,

please don't hesitate
to call me.

It was nice
meeting you, Shawn.
Goodbye, Governor Eamons.

Great handshake.

Jesse and I broke up
about two months ago.

What happened?

Just didn't work out.

You broke up with him?
Why does that matter?

Everything matters.

I don't want you thinking
he was a bad guy,

'cause he wasn't.

When we first met, he was shy,
one of the few guys

into the Daniel Clowes
Ghost World graphic.

Then he pledged that frat
and things just changed.

Did he drink
when you were with him?

No, he wasn't
into drinking.

Wasn't into smoking.

That thing at the dorm was
out of character for him.

What thing?

He got into it with his R.A.

I wasn't there, but hearing
people talk...

It wasn't the guy
I fell in love with.

He got drunk, like, one time.

Makes him a saint
around here.

So why are folks
still talking about it?

Look, I got class.

I'll walk with you.

Am I under arrest
or something?

I'm just looking
for a conversation.

I'm not a snitch.

If I had a dime for every time
somebody said that

before snitching,
I'd be a billionaire-- now talk.

What the hell happened
the night he got drunk?

He came into the dorm
with a couple of frat buddies.

White boy wasted.

Acting stupid.

So I told Jesse
he had to bounce.

Got in my face
and wouldn't chill, so...

So?

So I had to beat his ass.

In front of his frat buddies?

In front of everybody.

Let's just say Jesse's your
typical kid today. Right?

Doesn't see color, or at least,
that's what he thinks.

Until his frat buddies

start giving him hell
for embarrassing them.

See, he figured
it was about manhood,

but they make it clear
it's about race.

So now, suddenly, that's in him
when he's pulled over by Beck.

Along with a couple of drinks.

Drinking doesn't
change you.

It amplifies who you really are.

And there's no evidence
that Jesse was racist.

It's not like he called the R.A.
the N-word.

Is that how you categorize
a racist?

Look, I know how these
frat boys think.

Yeah.

Okay, text me the address.

Friend of mine

just tracked Kiana's cell phone.

Looks like our other witness
isn't missing after all.

Tracked down how?

Don't worry about it.

I will if it's a Fourth
Amendment violation.

Am I missing something?

I just found our other witness
in the Joey Campbell murder.

She's pinging in Concord.

Wealthy suburb.

Long way from The Houses.

We need authorization for that.

You wanted to find Cory,
I'm finding him.

Getting info isn't always
gonna be fresh and clean.

This whole partner thing,
it's new to me.

Well, catch up
and get used to it.

Okay, I'll let you do
your thing.

I'll handle Jesse's frat
tomorrow.

Yeah, channel your inner
Yale frat boy.

You know, I'm a Sigma.

You're serious?

Yeah.

You know who else
is Sigma Zeta?

Two presidents, four treasurers,
one Supreme Court justice,

and about 50 D.O.J. prosecutors.

* I don't know when
I lost control *

* I don't know
when I fell in love. *

Kiana Ward?
Yeah, can I help you?

I'm an investigator with
the Department of Justice.

I got nothing for you.
How do you know?

I haven't asked you anything.

Still got nothing.

Want me to stay here all night?

I can sing, too.
Just not good.

Trust me,
your nice new neighbors

ain't gonna like that.

Damn, you came up
real good, sis.

What do you want?

Joey Campbell's murderer.
You were there that night.

Who says?
His mother.

And by the looks of things,

she's not the only one who
thinks you got something to say.

No disrespect to her,
but she got her facts twisted.

There was another witness,
a kid named Cory.

He's gone missing.
What do you mean missing?

Nobody's seen him
for the last two days.

Know anything about it?

No.

Gotta be careful, Kiana.

Same thing could happen to you
if you don't tell me

what the hell is going on.

If Kiana's being paid
to keep quiet

about Joey Campbell's murder,
maybe Cory is, too.

Cory's dad didn't exactly look
like he was rolling in it.

So is he missing

or does he not want to be found?

Either way, we'll find him.

Yeah.

So you hanging with your
frat brothers yet?

All I need to know from them
is if Jesse had the propensity

to reach for a cop's gun.

A black cop's gun.

Look, I gotta go.

Kai?

Ashe, it's me.

The call's been delayed.

Delayed?

What kind of baby daddy crap
is he pulling?

He says he forgot she had
something after school.

What time is the call now?

They gave a window-- sometime
in the next two to three hours.

He knows I'm in the middle
of a case.

Ashe.

Do you want to speak
to your daughter or not?

Yes.

Yes...

Okay, fine.

I'll get back to you.

Look, it really wasn't
this big thing.

You know, the kid,
he got his ass kicked.

We had a good laugh,
that was it.

So why'd he drive
to Gate Station?

We had this social going on
with our little sisters.

And you sent him
to get the weed.

Weed?
No.

The house voted
for barbecue, and Jesse,

he volunteered
to go get it.

He went all the way to
Gate Station for barbecue?

He said it was
his favorite spot.

We didn't know it'd be
the last time we saw him.

Thanks.

Yo, G!

Miss Campbell?

How are you?

Lieutenant Breeland.

Yes?
What is this about?

The governor has asked
that we leave no stone unturned

in your son's case.

So if there's anything else
you might want to share...

No, sir, there's nothing.

You don't have to be
scared of me.

I ain't scared of you.
Well, good.

I didn't mean to come off
so harsh when we first met.

Some people will smile
in your face,

but they don't give a damn
what goes on here.

It's a war.

I ain't no Boy Scout,
but I'm on the right side of it.

So if you hear
of any other witnesses,

or any info at all,
I want to be your first call.

How long before
you're initiated?

Couple weeks.

Hang in there,
it's worth it.

You're frat?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, those letters just don't
disappear when you graduate.

I'm Sigma.

You're about to be Sigma.

You know, we're almost like...
...brothers.

So what kinds of things
they have you doing?

You gonna use it against me?

I'm not a cop.

But you ask
a lot of questions.

I'm just a lawyer.

The other night,
I had to drive blindfolded.

This morning I had to eat
a vomit omelet.

Man, just wait till the
vodka push-up challenge.

Oh, my God, serious?

It's gonna suck.

They make Jesse do
crazy stuff, too?

Not at first.

Because he didn't really
seem into it.

It's, like, the more
they think we want this,

the harder they are
on us, you know?

After he got beat,
they started to target him.

Why?

Because Ted was pissed.

He said he embarrassed
the whole frat,

made us look like bitches.

That's why they
sent him to the hood.

Wait, so getting barbecue
in the hood was punishment

for getting his ass kicked?

Not just getting
his ass kicked, man.

For getting his ass kicked
by a black guy.

Yeah.

* All my bitches
keep it trill, trill *

* All these guys gonna be
chill, chill *

* I'ma show you how I live *

* I'm so bad... *

* All my bitches keep it trill,
trill *

* All these guys gonna be
chill, chill *

* I'm a show you how I live *

What the hell's up?!

Babe, what are you doing
down there?

The sink started leaking again.

Thought the plumber fixed it.

You call him?

He said he couldn't
get out this way.

Did you tell him it's
the same problem as before?

It didn't seem
to matter.

Bet you if you told him we were
the Mills across the street,

he would have came running,
but instead he hears

that it's the black cop
that shot the white kid,

so now all of a sudden
his ass can't show up

to fix the one thing
that he messed up...

What?

Damn it!
Oh, babe.

I'm fine.
It's not fine.

Look at that cut.

Kerry!

I said I'm fine.

We got to stop
doing this.

Doing what?

Everyone is looking
at us sideways.

We can't start doing that
to each other.

Looking at us sideways?

What happened?

I was over at Anna's
apartment today,

supposedly to help her pick out
colors for the dresses,

and she graciously offered
to let me bow out

of being a bridesmaid since
we're "under so much pressure."

Caleb's going to be pissed.
Don't say anything.

If she doesn't want me
in the wedding,

she's gonna have to be
straight up with it.

I don't understand. I-I don't.

We worked so hard.

Done everything right.

We're supposed to be
building on that,

not getting tore down
in front of the whole world.

I swear, that stupid video's
gonna cost me my entire life.

How do we get through this,
Kerry?

Baby...

It is you and me right now.

Let the world bring it.

We can get through
anything together.

I promise you.

Good afternoon,
Gates Station sheriff's office.

How can I help you?

Where do I turn this in?

Impound's two blocks
from here.

Don't worry yourself, Deputy,
I'll find it.

What was he wearing?

A gray hoodie and camo pants.

How long's he been missing?

Three days now.

We'll put out
a "be on the lookout."

See if we can't
find your son.

Yo, I got it.

*

Hey, Boogs!

Mama, guess what?

Excuse me!

I have not talked to you
in five days.

Hi, Mama, I miss you!

I miss you, too, Boogs.

More than you know.

Mama!
Guess what?

Okay, what?

Paula took me shopping
at the mall today to get shoes

and there was a big crowd
of people in front

of this one store.

So we go over there
and guess what?

We saw Serena!

That's so good, Boogs.

Muy buena.

Actually,
it's pronounced muy bueno.

Muy buena.

I think Paula would know.

Fine, then from now on
you speak English with me, okay?

And when we have a call
scheduled, you call me, okay?

You don't blow it off
to go shoe shopping!

Sorry, Mama.

Kai, are you crying?

I'm sorry...

Why are you crying, Kai?

Ashe, what the hell
did you say to her?

Javier,
put Kai back on the phone.
She's crying, Ashe.

I'm not putting her
back on the phone.
Put Kai back on the damn phone!

I knew we shouldn't
have done this.

Your call has been forwarded

to an automated voice messaging
system.

Impressive.

You think?

Yeah, you're right.

Well, that's why you
brought me here, isn't it?

To impress me?

It's just a place I come
to clear my head.

Something going on
with the investigation?

Actually, yeah.

I think I may have put
a young kid's life at risk.

What are you going to do?

Ashe says
we'll find him, so...

I have to trust her.

That doesn't come easy
to you.

Trusting people.

It's your turn.

Impress me.

I can't hit a lick.

Come on, doesn't have
to be with a bat.

Freshman year at Duke,
I found out this fraternity

had a notebook called
"The Slut Guide"

filled with the names
of sorority girls

and what they did sexually.

So I organized a SlutWalk
on campus,

and with 300 women,
we shut the frat down.

Governor Eamons heard about it
and offered me an internship.

Were you in it?

Where?

The notebook.

Really?

That's what you have
to say about it?

Look, I'm impressed.

So, do you trust her?

Hm?

Ashe.

Yeah.

We're partners.
