I'm guessing 30 of those

It's a murder case.

Victim's name is Sean Wade.

I'm just trying to find out
who killed my son.

[dramatic music]

♪

My son was shot and killed

at the corner of 85th
and Wabash on July 5th.

He was 17.

And nothing's been done
about it.

- That's a rough neighborhood.
Do you live over there?

- No.

We live in Calumet Heights.

And I know what
you're thinking.

My son wasn't in any gang.
He was a good kid.

- Okay.

Is that what
the police think too?

- The police?

The police
don't think anything.

They never did a damn thing
about it.

- Okay, I doubt that.
Come on.

- No, no, no.
Don't tell me.

Black kid lying dead
in the street.

Step over him.
Move on.

All the same to them.

- I understand that's
how you feel.

But right now,
I'm having a hard time

connecting your son
being killed

to you running dope
for Dante Rashard

who's the biggest heroin dealer
on the South Side.

- Man, that's what
I'm trying to tell you.

I'm just playing along
with these gangbangers

so I can find out
who murdered Sean.

- How do you even know

that someone in that gang
killed your son?

- Because I did
what the police didn't.

I investigated.

I looked
into the murder myself.

And everyone I talked to
in that neighborhood

said the Prophets
were responsible.

- You need more than that.
That's not a lot to go on.

- Two people saw a silver car
racing down Wabash

right after Sean got shot.

So that's what I'm looking for.

A silver car.

Now if I get in deep enough
with these Prophets,

I'ma find out
who drives that car,

and when I do,

I'ma know that's the son
of a bitch who killed Sean.

- How did you even start
working with these guys?

- I heard about this
young brother named K-Mac.

Found out he rolls
with the Prophets,

moves a lot of dope.

So I found out how to meet him.

Told him I knew how to drive
gas tanks, build traps...

a week later,
he calls, asks for my help.

- So you're really
doing all this

just to find your son's killer?

- He was my son,

my flesh and blood.

And some punk shot him

and left him to die
in the street like an animal.

So yeah.

I'ma do whatever I have to do
to find the killer.

[somber music]

My son still talks to me

every night.

Shows up at my bedside.

Just stands there,

all soaking wet
like the day he died.

Says, "Don't let me
die in vain, Pop.

Don't let me die in vain."

Kid's been in the gang database

Most likely gang dispute

You got one witness statement

- Yeah.
Totally get it.

- Well, I'm not sure

- So he's pulled Intelligence
into this now.

How'd he manage that?

- We crossed paths
on a drug case.

He told us that
he's dropping gas tanks

for the Gangster Prophets

as a way to find the guy
that killed his kid.

- We're just trying
to vet his story,

see if he's credible.

He says he come to you
with some evidence.

- I wouldn't exactly
call it evidence.

He called me 30 times
about some car.

That's what he does.

He walks the streets all night
looking for a silver car.

- Yeah, man.
He seems really determined.

I can't say that I blame him.

you committed a crime,
a felony.

Before he started focusing
on heroin,

he was an enforcer down
in Englewood.

He's a person of interest
in three unsolved shootings.

- Yeah, well, last I checked,

solving old murders
is Homicide's job.

I pushed him hard.
I wanted him to be successful.

So what about Sean?

Do we know anything

His phone puts him in Englewood

before he was killed.

- And it wasn't the first time
he camped out there.

Dumped his cell records,

and the three months
before his death,

he was at that corner

Wanted to go to DePaul.

Every two weeks.

Sean told me he was saving up

to surprise his daddy
with an air conditioner.

Said he worked
in the hot garage all day,

wanted him to have a cool house
to come home to after work.

- Is there anything else
you remember

from that night
that could help us?

is Sean running after Erika

so she didn't get rained on.

- Who's Erika?
- Erika Moore.

She works here sometimes.

- Do you have her contact info?

- I can get it for you.

- So Sean went outside to make
sure Erika didn't get wet?

- Yeah.

It was coming down
real heavy that night.

I told the kids
I'd lock up.

Sean hurried to catch Erika

so he could cover her
with an umbrella.

I think he had a crush on her.

But she was dating somebody
else from the neighborhood.

Always had lots of cash,
lots of jewelry.

- Yeah.

It's an umbrella.
So?

- Yeah, it's 20 feet
from Sean's dead body.

He gave it to a girl
named Erika Moore

the night that he was killed

which means she was with him
when it happened.

Which means that
she's a witness to it,

- Hey, hey.
Slow down.

Just tell me what the hell
you're talking about.

- Sean worked at a market
a block from the scene.

Woman there says
that Sean was worried

about Erika getting wet.

And so he ran outside
to bring her an umbrella.

- Mm-hmm, the woman's name
is right here in the file, Gil.

It's Florence Clay.

Patrol passed it on.
You sat on it.

- Oh, come on, Jay.

- So K-Mac's dating Erika,
not Dante.

- And he's jealous of Sean.

- So Dante goes to Milwaukee
for the weekend.

K-Mac borrows his Lexus,
rolls up on Sean,

and shoots him.

- Yeah, well, now all
we gotta do is prove it.

- Think about it like this.

We know a casing was
two feet away from the body

which means at least one of
the shots was fired up close.

It's a long shot, but maybe
blood got on K-Mac's shoes.

He gets in the car.

I don't care how many times
you wash it.

You're gonna find traces.

- Ah, it's worth a shot.

Seize and impound the vehicle.

- Hey, Jay.

Your new best friend
is downstairs,

wants to talk to you.

- Latrell?

- Yeah, I can tell him
you're on vacation.

- No, it's okay.

- Look--I know you're trying
to help and all, but, uh...

- But what?

- We're not paid
to be psychologists.

- Latrell?
What are you doing?

I told you you can't come
over here, all right?

We'd let you know.
- I went by his house.

- What?
Who?

- Dante.

He was just hanging out
with his boys,

laughing with his friends,
not a care in the world.

- It's not Dante.

- He doesn't deserve
to be laughing.

You guys need to arrest him.
- It's not Dante.

He didn't kill Sean.

- You saw the silver car.
You saw the Lexus.

- He didn't kill him.

He's got an alibi for the night
and the time of the murder.

- Then who did it?
Tell me.

- No, I can't do that.

- But you know who did it.

- Yeah.
We do.

- Can you at least tell me
why they killed him?

- Sit down.

Look.

We think that Sean
was killed because of a girl,

someone he was working with.

- Working with?

What the hell
are you talking about?

Sean didn't have no job.

I told him to focus
on his studies.

- He was working part-time
at a market in Englewood.

He was getting paid in cash.

That's why you found 2 grand
in his desk.

The store manager
said he was saving up

to buy you
an air conditioning unit.

I know how difficult this is.

But we're close to solving it.

So you just gotta be patient.

Let us do our job.

- If you know who did it,

why the hell can't you just
arrest this son of a bitch now?

- Because we need
more evidence.

But we are going to get there.

Promise you.

Okay?

[melancholy music]

- Hey.

Thanks.

Throughout this whole process,
you've been the only cop

that treated me with any kind
of respect and dignity.

- I just talked to Forensics.

They found traces of blood
on the driver's side carpet.

They're checking it now.

- Okay, good.
Anything else?

- Yeah, about 20 texts
between K-Mac and Erika.

Exactly what you'd expect.

Lots of love, lots of anger,
lots of threats

mostly directed
toward Sean Wade.

- Sounds like motive to me.

Find his address.
Let's arrest his ass.

[indistinct radio chatter]

- You get anything?

- I gave patrol
a description of the car,

told 'em to put out a flash.

- You get a partial?
- No, it was too far away.

He was average height,
medium build.

I mean, that's all
I could make out.

- What are we thinking?
Dante?

- Well, here we are.

Our suspect is now a DOA.

- All right, three gunshots,
close range.

He's got powder burns
on the back of his shirt.

Probably didn't see it coming.

You're thinking revolver.

- There's no
shell casings around

so it's that or he policed
his own brass.

- Okay.

For now, we're gonna assume
Dante is behind it.

He got nervous K-Mac might
flip, and he took him out.

We just gotta tie him to it.

So check traffic cams,
surveillance video,

anything you can find.

And start tracking
Dante's inner circle too.

Good chance one of them
could've done the hit as well.

[indistinct radio chatter]

- Mm-hmm.

Jay, come here.
Check this out.

So this is the hot dog spot
on 77th.

Street side cam is messed up,

but here's what we pulled
from the parking lot.

It's definitely the main target
talking to the victim.

- Can you see
the dark blue car anywhere?

- No, but that look like
a friendly conversation to you?

- Yeah.
I see someone.

- That's you
and your boy, K-Mac,

20 minutes
before he got gunned down

point blank range.

- Like you said, he was my boy.
Why would I kill him?

- Well, I don't know.

Maybe 'cause you heard
we were onto him

for the murder of Sean Wade.

- Sean who?
Why would I care about that?

- We figured once
K-Mac got pinched

for the murder of Sean Wade,
he'll roll on you

for the heroin.

- You had to know
we were getting close

when we swabbed that Lexus.

- I hooked up with K-Mac
for some food.

Ain't no law against that.
- Mm-hmm.

So where'd you go
between the time you two ate

and the time K-Mac got killed?

- I was at my girl,
Lena's house.

- Hm.

- We got a son together.

We was reading books.
- Mm.

- Playing games.

- That's very convenient.

- I didn't kill K-Mac.

- [scoffs]

Check his clothes for GSR.

Dante, you should probably
make yourself comfortable.

You're gonna be here a while.

Talk to me.
- Okay.

So Jay saw the car head down
Princeton then turn on 76th.

Now there's nothing
right there.

But we were able to get
something off a POD

on Shields near the park.

- Jay?
- Yeah.

That's definitely the car.

- I tried pulling up the plate,
but it's all grain.

- Ran the model
through our system.

It's a 2001 to 2004 Camaro.

There's at least 200
in the city, maybe more.

- We got any other angles?

We know what direction
he's headed?

- Okay, so I was able
to pull one off a stadium,

but look--it's almost
directly overhead.

And while it's a clear shot,
it's even less of a chance

of seeing the driver
or the plates.

And after this,
we lose him completely.

- All right.

So we do it
the old-fashioned way.

Track down every single one
of those models

one by one until you get a hit.

We gotta connect Dante
to that car.

- Find the car?

What's going on?

- Latrell killed K-Mac.

- What makes you say that?

- Saw something
in the surveillance video.

The dark blue car had
an estimate on it,

like the way mechanics
put it in the dash,

and that got me thinking.

- Well, you got
any actual proof?

- It's sitting
in his parking lot.

Sarge, the Camaro.
I saw it.

- Hm.

How did Latrell know
we were onto K-Mac?

That wasn't
public information, Jay.

- I'm not sure.

- You're not sure.

- I told Latrell that Sean
was killed over a girl,

someone that he
was working with

at a grocery store
in Englewood.

So Latrell
must have gone down there

and found out about Erika,

and then connected her
back to K-Mac.

- Okay.

Tell me this.

Why are you really here?

- Latrell shouldn't even be
in this position.

If Homicide did their job--
if they found the killer--

- It's not
a perfect system, Jay.

- I know it's not.

But Latrell is a good guy.
- Mm-hmm.

- He loved his kid.

More than anything.

He just couldn't let it go.

He couldn't find closure.

So he just went and he did
what he thought he had to do.

Which is something
that I might do.

Something that I'm thinking
you might do too.
