Why shoot the kid?

That's the million-dollar Question

It definitely felt like Something out of a nightmare.

You're making A big mistake.

Noah was not going To be compliant.

Narrator: the killer's motive Is a mystery.

None of this makes sense to us.

Narrator: but when detective Rod demery joins

The investigation...

Let's do this.

Narrator: ...He uncovers a sinister scheme

With an unlikely mastermind.

Seems as if a lightbulb Goes off.

She says she doesn't know You, so stop calling.

I know personalities. I know when somebody's faking.

It just oozes out of him.

He's just not who he says he is.

Jealousy, rejection, Feeling out of place.

It's the kind of thing that Can motivate somebody to kill.

Murder and me, we go way back.

When I was a child, Murder took my mother.

Years later, It came for my brother.

That's when I found My mission in life.

Every case I worked, I solved.

Every case I solved, I got a confession.

I'm detective rod demery.

I didn't choose murder.

Murder chose me.

No, sarge said To let you go in first.

Okay, let's go see What we got.

Looks like the kids Had a lot of fun.

The fact that these are solo Cups and ping-pong balls

And a lot of alcohol Suggests that it was

A teenage party.

Now, what do we Have here?

In the living room, there's A pile of cellphones,

Purses, wallets.

It looks like The suspects came in,

Started asking for their Things and their valuables.

[ camera shutter clicks ]

As I approached the bedroom, I noticed a large blood stain

In the doorway.

There's a blood smear On the wall.

And what does this Tell you?

Looks like the victim Fell against the door

After getting shot and Crumpled down to the floor.

Excellent, good.

What about this?

As I look around the room, I notice that on the dresser,

There's a missing spot.

There's dust around it.

On the floor Is a remote control.

That suggests that The television was taken

From that spot.

So they took The money and their tv.

But why shoot the kid?

That's the million-dollar Question

You and I got to answer.

On its face, it looked Like the suspects

Were just after Whatever they could find

That had any monetary value.

These guys -- did you get A description of them?

Um...One of them had on All black clothes on.

And the other one had Camouflage shorts.

Camo shorts, okay, now, These camo shorts,

Were they woodland shorts Or were they urban camo?

There are a couple different Types of camouflage uniforms

That the military wears.

Urban is kind of gray.

Wooden is more green.

Woodland.

Can you think of something About their demeanor

That was unusual Or seemed off?

Yeah.

One of the guys, He tried to comfort us.

He was talking to me Like he knew me.

Everything's gonna be all right. You gonna be all right.

He actually tried To hold my hand

And tell me that Everything was gonna be okay.

I didn't really Know what to think.

You didn't recognize His voice?

That statement Made me think that

The suspects were Either familiar with

Or knew who the victims were.

And you can't think of anyone Who would have done this?

Now, at this point, I'm not really understanding

Why noah was shot.

And I don't know if this Is actually a robbery

Or a plot to kill noah.

All right.

Listen, take her Down to the station

Detective demery. -terry shields.

Mr. Shields, I'm really Sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

My sister's having A real hard time with it.

We never thought anything Like this

Could happen to noah.

Of course not.

Noah was such A kind-hearted kid.

If someone needed Something and if he had it,

He'd give it to 'em.

Material things didn't Mean much to him.

All he needed was a pair Of cut-offs and a t-shirt

And a rod and reel, He was content.

I found out that noah Was pretty talented.

He was a gifted skateboarder.

He liked hunting, He liked fishing.

Tell me this.

Can you think of any enemies That noah may have had?

I can think of 100 friends, But enemies, no.

None at all.

Noah had so many friends, I think,

Because he was Such a caring guy.

If one of his friends Got in a bind,

Noah would be there.

Mr. Shields, again, I'm sorry for your loss.

Appreciate it.

Marcus.

So what do you got?

Detective marcus is Giving me some information

That no one's heard before.

Revenge?

When I hear "Revenge," I'm Thinking, "Revenge for what?"

Sounds like there's A lot more to this case

Than meets the eye.

♪♪

Two masked men have Entered an apartment

And shot noah randall In the back of the head.

There are no leads, no suspects.

Now I'm learning The witnesses are saying

That this is about a revenge.

What's going on?

Apparently the suspects Were saying

They were there For some sort of revenge

For a rape. -a rape?

Marcus explains That it was a revenge

For a 14-year-old girl

Who had been raped In the apartment complex.

The suspects indicated That the person

Who supposedly committed This rape was dillon,

Who was the guy who Went to go get beer

With noah randall.

The two masked men never Mentioned dillon's name

When talking about the rape,

So the witnesses asked, "Is it dillon?"

And the suspects just Nodded their heads.

Okay, this is getting More crazy by the minute.

How so?

These guys Are there for dillon,

But they don't even Know his name

Until the witnesses Give it to him?

The problem is, is that This is, first, a robbery,

Then a revenge Shooting for a rape.

It's just getting A little too convoluted

And doesn't make a whole Lot of sense to me.

Your case.

Yeah, I'm gonna canvass The apartment complex

And see if we can't find Out some information

About the possible Rape victim.

Okay. Hey, I'm gonna take A crack at this dillon kid.

You cool with that?

-be my guest. -awesome.

I'll let you know what I find. -okay.

Demery: have a seat.

Sitting in the interview Room with dillon,

My number-one goal is to See if there's any truth

To this rape allegation.

Dillon, look, I know this Is a really tough time,

So I'm gonna try and make My questions brief, okay?

When I interviewed dillon, He's really shaken,

He's really nervous.

[ sighs ]

Do you have any idea Who those guys were

That killed noah? -no, sir.

Okay, any idea why They were there?

No.

Okay.

All right, now, dillon, I'm gonna ask you something

And I need you to be Really honest with me.

There was a rape of A young girl that occurred

In this apartment building,

Do you know Anything about that?

-rape? -yeah.

Were you part of Anything like that?

Absolutely not.

That was the first time I'd ever even been

To that apartment.

When I bring up the rape, Dillon is completely perplexed.

He has no idea what I'm talking about.

I didn't even know anybody There other than kaitlyn.

Okay, okay, okay.

I believe you.

As I talked to dillon, I realize That what he's telling me

Is pretty genuine.

I believe everything He's saying about that.

I'm thinking that the Suspects had another reason

For being there, But the rape allegation

Is just something To throw you off track.

Take a deep breath.

And I want you to tell me About what you saw.

Dillon is about the only One who actually witnessed

The crime, everyone Else was in the kitchen.

They couldn't really See what happened.

[ sighs ]

When I saw the gun, I just Got down on the floor.

[ indistinct yelling ]

Okay, what about noah?

I don't know why,

But he wouldn't get down On the ground.

Let's go! Let's go!

The guy in the bandana,

He backed him up Down the hallway.

[ indistinct yelling ]

Just knew that noah was Waiting for an opportunity

To fight back.

Dillon said that He could see noah's eyes

Begin to widen, And his mind begin to race.

So when he got To the bedroom,

The dude turned his back For, like, a second,

And that's when noah Tried to go for the gun.

Dillon said that once The gunman realized

What was going on, they Had a slight struggle,

And dillon heard the gunshot...

[ gunshot ]

And two more After noah hit the ground.

[ gunshots ]

Dillon, did it seem like They were specifically

Trying to target noah?

No, I think they Just knew that noah

Wasn't gonna back down.

Okay.

Noah was not going To be compliant

In a situation like that.

He was just not Gonna play this game.

He was gonna try To save the day.

I would call him a hero Simply because he tried.

Noah doing what he did Just shows you

The type of person that he is.

He always cared about others More than he did himself.

And if I have any Other questions,

The lead on dexter Just didn't feel good.

In fact, none of 'em did.

Or one of the suspects has Some sort of connection.

The suspects wouldn't know What was inside the house

Or just randomly go into Somebody's apartment

Without knowing what They're walking into.

So detective marcus and I Reach out to our victims

And encourage them to Recount every little detail

They can remember.

It is so important to get Every bit of information

You can out of every witness.

Thanks.

Because even the smallest Thing that they don't think

Is important might be What solves the case.

Demery: marcus and I spent All afternoon on the phone

With our witnesses.

But none of them offer much In the way of new information.

But one call is about to Change the entire case.

Hey, mrs. Sissom, how are you?

That afternoon, I get A phone call from a woman

Who's the mother Of kaitlyn sissom.

How's kaitlyn doing?

Kaitlyn told her She had gotten a series

Of very odd phone calls The night of the murder.

I'll see you soon, bye.

At the time that I Was being questioned,

I never thought to mention It to any police officers

Because I didn't think It was even relevant

To what had happened that night.

I'm actually glad you Did remember something.

Sometimes young individuals In a traumatic event

Don't exactly know what's Important and what's not

For a murder investigation.

So, the other night, I got a phone call

From a number that I didn't recognize.

-okay. -and so I hung up.

Then my phone rang again and This guy left a voicemail.

The voicemail was just saying, "Hey, it's your boy rio.

It's going down tonight."

Or something of that sort.

I don't know anyone named Rio, so I just let it go,

But then he called back again.

Kaitlyn said that The phone calls continued.

[ cellphone ringing ]

Hello?

And she answered again.

Who is this?

I don't know you.

I'm sorry, please Stop calling me.

At some point during These phone calls,

Noah picks up the phone.

Listen, man, she doesn't want To talk to you, all right?

Sissom: noah told them That they were creeping me out,

And things escalated At that point.

There was lots of cussing Back and forth and yelling.

Saturday night, did you Make some phone calls

From this restaurant landline Calling kaitlyn sissom?

Uh, yeah, I did.

Why?

I asked lamario about The phone calls to kaitlyn,

And he didn't deny it.

He said he did it, called Her a couple of times.

Do you mind telling me why You were harassing her?

What? I wasn't harassing her.

I was calling to see

Where the address Of her party was.

She just acted like she Didn't know who I was.

So, you're saying you Didn't go to the party.

No.

I mean, I wanted to go, But I just ended up

Going over a friend's house And we drank some wine.

Lamario said that After kaitlyn acted as if

She didn't know him, he still Wanted to go to the party.

So he looked around for a ride, Couldn't find one.

Said he bought a bottle of wine And went to a friend's house.

And what was Your friend's name?

Sam conway. Yeah, he lives in highland.

Lamario's story does Sound believable,

But something about him Just doesn't fit right.

There's something I just Can't put my finger on.

Okay, Thank you for your time.

Yes, sir.

At this point, I don't Have a whole lot to go on

With lamario, so I let him go.

And find out What I can about him.

Did you guys find what You were looking for?

No, not exactly.

Let me ask you, do you know Anything about lamario

Using the restaurant Landline on saturday

To make a phone call?

As we're getting Ready to close...

The manager told me That during closing hours,

He overheard lamario Making a phone call

From the restaurant's landline.

Nobody makes phone calls From the diner phone anymore.

He found it peculiar That lamario

Didn't use his cellphone.

And he told me about A specific comment lamario made.

Yeah, he wanted backup.

"Backup." What does that mean?

I have no idea.

He really didn't know what Lamario meant by that comment.

But he thought he wanted To go cause some trouble.

Did he say Anything else?

No.

Okay, all right, Thank you.

Mind if I grab one?

Okay.

Thanks.

Now, lamario is giving me A story about

Being at a friend's house And drinking wine,

Find out where he was.

So basically I go through Those calls and the timeline

Of the crime and I determine Where lamario was prior to,

During, and after the incident

And what his communications Are during that time.

Okay, so, he's just Across the river from

The apartment complex in Bossier at about 1:30 a.M.

Okay.

And then, the phone Gets turned off

Until it's used again at About 2:15 in bossier.

Really?

Lamario law's phone Was completely inactive

For a 45-minute window,

Which was during the time That noah randall was killed.

So, maybe lamario went To this party after all.

There's no reason why The same time

This murder is being committed,

Lamario conveniently Is not using his phone.

And I don't believe In coincidences.

Now it's really important That I speak to lamario,

So I contacted him again.

And I told him I needed him To come to the station

So I can talk to him.

So where is he?

Hinderberger is in There with him now.

And going into the interview,

I want to get a feel For lamario.

I want him to answer Some questions

That I don't have an answer to.

Hold on a second. You see that?

What?

His shorts.

Woodland camouflage.

Kaitlyn sissom said That one of the suspects

Wore a jason mask and Woodland camouflage shorts.

What's happening, Lamario?

Lamario just made himself More suspicious

Without even knowing it.

♪♪

I'm finally Face to face with the man

I now believe Killed noah randall.

Lamario says he didn't go to Kaitlyn's house that night,

But I have reason To believe otherwise.

And lamario is wearing The same exact type shorts

The witnesses say were worn By one of the suspects.

Thank you for coming in Again to talk with us.

It's no problem.

Lamario is clearly A little more nervous

Talking to me again.

I exploit that.

Hey, by the way,

I'm really feeling Those camo shorts.

Uh, thanks.

The reason I said that is Because I wanted lamario

To know that I know The person who committed

The murder had shorts Exactly like that on.

Hey, so listen, We're gonna need to record

This conversation If that's okay with you.

Hey, officer, Do me a favor.

Start the recording Please.

Hindy, Want to call it out?

I asked him to tell me the Story about that night again.

Lamario maintained his story.

He went to his friend's,

Sam conway's house In the highland area of town.

But I know lamario is lying Because I know where he was.

His cellphone gave him away.

When I confronted lamario With the cellphone information,

He completely Changed the subject

And tried to throw The focus on sam conway.

Lamario said that He knew conway was involved

Because conway told him.

Right now, I don't believe Anything lamario is saying.

My biggest issue With this is that

Lamario is the person Who knew kaitlyn.

The fact that he's talking About somebody named

Sam conway makes no sense to me

Because sam has no idea any of This unless lamario told him.

And even if lamario Told him, lamario had

To be present to show him Where and how to do this.

I think lamario is Starting to feel cornered.

At this point, Lamario is broken down.

He knows he doesn't Have anywhere to go,

So he's going to start talking.

Lamario said He was at the party.

He said there was no plan To rob anybody.

But he said he was With sam conway

And some other person.

What lamario is trying to do,

Is he's trying to minimize his Involvement, is basically

Trying to make it seem As if though someone else

Planned and orchestrated This robbery and murder.

The reality is, is that He was the one.

He may have brought somebody Along with him to help him,

But no one had the information Lamario had.

At this point, I'm positive lamario was one

Of the two masked Suspects in that house.

I don't know, But it's possible lamario

Did go to the party For the electronics.

Hey, what's up, kaitlyn? It's your boy rio.

Kaitlyn: I'm sorry. Who is this?

It's also possible that He had gone for kaitlyn.

Quit playing, girl. You know who this is.

I don't know you.

I'm sorry. Please Stop calling me.

Maybe he felt slighted When he was rejected.

Yo. You are tripping. Why are you playing games?

Then he had An argument with noah.

She says she doesn't Know you, so stop calling.

And I think he felt disrespected

In some way and He wanted revenge.

Are you ready?

You know I'm ready.

I think lamario at that Point found a friend,

Convinced him that he should Go with him to the party

And be paid by some Of the electronics

That were in the house.

Look, man, We're in and out.

All right, man, I hear you, let's go.

Lamario was the one who Was wearing a hockey mask

And had The camouflage shorts on.

And his friend had the bandana And was wearing all black.

Yo, yo, yo! Listen up, listen up!

Everybody get on The ground right now!

Lamario laws was the one Who was removing

The electronic items From the house.

Get back. Get down on the ground.

Then dillon and noah Show back up.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

And that's when things go wrong.

[ indistinct yelling ]

They see noah as a threat.

Get down! Come on!

[ gunshots ]

[bleep] Come on, we've got To get out of here, man.

The reason that noah randall Was shot

Was that he tried to fight back.

Demery: None of that would have happened

Had lamario not brought Someone into that scenario.

I charged lamario with Second-degree murder.

Lamario goes to trial.

The prosecutor opened

With lamario's recorded Interrogation.

Lamario turns to his Attorney and said

He didn't want to go To trial anymore.

Lamario laws accepted A plea to manslaughter

And was sentenced To 30 years of hard labor.

Hey, what's happening?

Hey, thanks again for That help with the case.

No problem, my pleasure.

So what's happening With the second shooter?

Well, there's an issue.

What kind of issue?

There was a technical error Made by other investigators

That delayed the arrest Of the second suspect.

Huh. All right, well, You know you got to stay

On it, right?

Because cases will Not close themselves.

The state is still Building a case

Against the other shooter,

And I'm confident He is going to be arrested.

Although the shooter Is still out there

And needs to be Brought to justice,

Lamario laws is most responsible For randall's death.

Noah randall would have Never been murdered

Had lamario not been the Person who made it happen.

I think about noah often. I miss his laugh.

Just his personality.

He was so fun to be around and Just very uplifting.

Noah was the least Deserving person

To ever have anything like This happen to him.

Shields: Noah -- we miss him immensely,

And I just worry about the Human race lost a good person.

They took a good kid That had his entire life

Ahead of him And just snuffed it out.

I think it's one of those Situations where you

Really have to question And examine

Why so many people so young

Are so tragically Killed or locked away.

That's actually the real crisis.

Death is fine, But what you don't get

Is it's never coming back.

Something like this Requires a lot of reflection

And thought because Undoing it is not possible.
