I heard some arguing outside. NEIGHBOR I looked out my window. NEIGHBOR It was the victim and two other guys, tussling on the driveway right at the end. NEIGHBOR I heard gunshots. NEIGHBOR Takes your heart rate and everything to a different level. NEIGHBOR The guy who was standing over him� NEIGHBOR �he unloaded like 5 or 6 rounds point blank over the victim. WHITE What does the victim do next? NEIGHBOR My wife thinks she saw him get up. NEIGHBOR And I think he was able to return fire. WHITE What did the guys look like? NEIGHBOR African American, tall. One was probably about 6�1�. NEIGHBOR It wasn�t the first time I heard people coming in and out. WHITE Did I understand, is there a lot of traffic over here? Like short term traffic? NEIGHBOR There had been over the last year or so, but I thought� NEIGHBOR � maybe since he had a baby, I thought he kinda cleaned some things up. WHITE Thanks a million. I really do appreciate your time. WHITE Two guys were fighting with him here. And then the suspect was over the top of him shooting, one of the suspects was shooting into him multiple times. He says I thought after he had that baby, I thought maybe he�d calm down or something. LEATHERMAN We got the victim�s mom and girlfriend being taken downtown. WHITE I�m going to go talk to them right now. I�d like to get the story as quick as possible. WHITE I�m thinking we talk to the girlfriend first. What do you think? LEATHERMAN Yeah. WHITE I don�t know that mom�s going to know the ins and outs of what�s going on. WHITE Let�s talk to the girlfriend. LEATHERMAN Okay. WHITE Let�s do this. WHITE Alright. My name is Jason White. This is Ronnie Leatherman. JANEECE Hi. WHITE I'm sorry that you're having to deal with any of this. JANEECE Yeah, I just don�t get it. WHITE Huh? JANEECE I just don�t get... understand. WHITE Yeah, I, there�s really never any real good explanation for any of these. But I think that you�re going to be able to really shed some light for me, and help me out okay? WHITE Tell me what happened tonight. JANEECE Well it's just like any other night. We have a nightly routine with her. She has dinner like around 745 and then we lay her down. When it's time to lay her down we lay down together. JANEECE He was on the phone. JANEECE As soon as she fell asleep he hopped up, and he left the room. He went straight to the garage, and he had opened the garage door. I went to the bathroom to grab a cigarette and I was gonna go out there, cause that's what I do. JANEECE And um, and then I just heard, I heard this, these loud noises. I know what gun shots sound like. JANEECE I wanna say maybe nine gunshots. Like it's over and over and over, and then finally it registered. And I was like Kim's in trouble. JANEECE You know I dart for the door. And I opened the door, and he just started yelling get down, get down. JANEECE Basically, so, I hear the shots. And all I see Kim do is... just darts to the threshold of the garage door, and just over and over and over and over and over. JANEECE And then that�s when I noticed blood and he was, and then he immediately turned around and looks at me, and he goes �Call the ambulance. Call the ambulance.� JANEECE Blood was coming out his mouth. And he's coming down the stairs. I went up and grabbed towels cause his mom met us up the stairs. I'm like �Kim's been shot, Kim's been shot.� JANEECE I went and grabbed towels, and I applied pressure. I put his head on my lap, and I just like kept hitting him as hard as I could every time he kept like closing his eyes. I told him like �You're strong. You can, you can do this.� You know, �You�re dumb, you've done this before.� JANEECE He just got shot three times in the stomach last year. LEATHERMAN When she's going to sleep, was he messing on his phone, while you guys were laying down there or something? JANEECE Um, yes. JANEECE He like, �He's my friend Charles.� And I'm like, �I've never heard that name before. Who's Charles?� JANEECE And I said, �So what's going on? What�s the deal?� JANEECE And he said, well Charles was supposed to bring him some roxies to sell. WHITE Tell me what the heck roxies are again. Remind me? JANEECE Uh, roxie�s like oxycontin, I guess? Roxies is one of the main things that he really sold. WHITE Did he happen to say if Charles was coming with anybody else? JANEECE No, he did not. JANEECE After he was shot, when Kim has his head in my lap, I kept asking him, cause I remembered the, the name Charles and I said �What is Charles's last name?� And he kept trying to say something, but I couldn't understand what it was... JANEECE I said �Charles who? Charles who?�, and all I heard was Charles Boraz... but now I know it�s Boaz. WHITE How did you know? JANEECE I messaged, um, a childhood friend of Kim's. They went to school together when they were kids. They all went to Central together. JANEECE I�m trying to put it together in my head just because I am familiar with... you know, I had lived a very bad lifestyle before we got pregnant with her. And I changed my lifestyle around. And Kim did too for the most part. And I just think he just, you know. JANEECE Money gets tight. JANEECE Right after we had her Kim and I kind of like went from being really close friends to actually, we actually, you know, fell in love, like... WHITE Sure. Sure. JANEECE He had, before she turned a year old, gave me a promise ring, like we were on our way to, ya know, getting our own place and... WHITE Yeah. JANEECE ...doing our own thing. WHITE Well, right now, I�m gonna to commend you for being extremely strong, for me. And that�s helpful, okay? JANEECE Yeah. WHITE I�m going to start talking to his mother. JANEECE Ok. WHITE Thank you. WHITE She�s legit. His girlfriend is trying to help. She said that Charles, this Charles, that, she doesn�t know him. But he was supposed to show up over there. Right after this had happened, the victim starts telling her the name. She then communicates with one of his friends. WHITE He ends up giving her the name of Boaz, and that�s consistent with the pill bottle out in the driveway. WHITE I mean that guys going to be involved. That�s a no brainer. So, we�re on the right path with him. But, I would like to get a little bit more. WHITE She�s being very strong. It�s going to hit her like a ton of bricks before long. But, she�s got to be strong for that kid right now. WHITE Ok. WHITE We�re very sorry. WHITE What happened tonight? LESLIE So, I was downstairs and, um, watching Longmire. LESLIE And, uh, I just heard some rat-a-tat-tat things. Next thing I knew, they were coming in the front door and he was saying he'd been shot. WHITE Did you ever hear him say who shot him? LESLIE Uh-uh. No, not at all. WHITE Okay. LESLIE He was just in a lotta pain. WHITE Do you know anything about what he's been doing, or does he have a lotta people come over for various reasons? LESLIE No. WHITE No? Okay. Okay. LESLIE No. That is my house. LESLIE But, there�s um... you know, there's a lot I don't know. LESLIE I don't know what my son's been involved in, but I um-- he promised me that he's not involved in anything, but I don't know if you're a parent or not, but...I mean he was shot not all that long ago. WHITE Yeah. LESLIE So, I mean, it�s not like, I think he�s Mr. Innocent or anything but... WHITE Yeah. LESLIE Kim was doing fine working, every day. I mean, he couldn't wait to get to work in the morning, WHITE Yeah. WHITE You have a pretty good relationship with her though? LESLIE I mean, she stresses me out completely. WHITE Does she? LESLIE Extremely, but I love her. You know. LESLIE You know, they're there because she got pregnant with Khloe. That's what kinda started this saga. LESLIE She was homeless when I, I picked her up... WHITE Yeah. LESLIE ...and brought her to my house. WHITE She's got a long road ahead of her. But, you know, I'm sure you're gonna be able to help her. LESLIE Yeah. WHITE She's gonna be living at your house, temporarily, I'm sure, right? LESLIE Yeah, she'll be living there, �cause my focus is of course is Khloe. LESLIE When can I see him? WHITE Well, you won't be able to see him at the Medical Examiner's Office. You can see him at the funeral home. I don't know� WHITE I know. I, I know. I, I can't even, I can't even imagine what you're feeling right now. WHITE My, my goal is for justice to be served. If anything comes up, don't hesitate. WHITE Alright, I�m sorry. LESLIE Ok. WHITE That's a cute grand-baby. LESLIE Yes, she is. She's a joy. WHITE Thank you for your patience. LESLIE Okay. Thank you. WHITE They�re both good to go. Thank you. WHITE Kim�s mom, she absolutely in a state of shock right now. Her whole world�s getting turned upside down. LESLIE Here�s your bunny. WHITE Seeing people going through this, if we weren�t affected by it a little bit, then we probably shouldn�t be doing this job. SCHILLING We�ve got the data from the phone. SCHILLING Here�s where maybe the problem was. It was going to be a pill deal. WHITE Yeah, he was bringing him roxies to sell. SCHILLING And Kim had concern about whether they were real or not. Kim says �Alright G, look bro, like I said I got a baby now so I�m not playing no games. I�m just a numbers guy. As long as our number stay straight, we�re gonna to eat, G.� SCHILLING And whoever is coming to meet him says, �What do you mean? I�m confused. They real, no press.� SCHILLING �Let me know when you�re pulling up, I�m going to raise the garage door... � WHITE Ok, what time is that? SCHILLING 1051 WHITE Yeah, that�s the guy. SCHILLING 1052 �pulling up.� 1053.... �Bet�. And that�s his last going message. WHITE Yeah, that�s the guy. SCHILLING The number our victim was messaging back and forth with that was going to be delivering pills checks to a Charles Boaz. LEATHERMAN Here�s a recent picture of Charles from when he was arrested last year. WHITE Here�s the deal. We know that Charles Boaz was there. That�s a no brainer. His pill bottle�s in the freaking street. But, we�ve got to build this case up. I want to be able to make an arrest to this cat, you know. WHITE And there�s another guy that was with them too. We have to watch that body cam. I want to see what that video shows. WHITE If that video shows the victim saying that name, I think from that, we�re good. LEATHERMAN We�ve got the officers body camera video finally uploaded, so we�re going to look and see if our victim gives any more details about what happened. OFFICER Hey, it�s Tulsa Police Department. LESLIE Come here quick. Please, please. OFFICER We�re coming, we�re coming. OFFICER Where�s he shot at? JANEECE Right here. OFFICER He�s got one in the chest and exit to the back. JANEECE Babe, babe. OFFICER Stay with us buddy. Keep thinking. Keep thinking. JANEECE And we know who the person is. OFFICER What is his name? What�s his name? KIM Charles Boaz. WHITE It�s a really, really powerful piece of evidence. WHITE I think that would fall under the category of dying declaration. OFFICER What�s... hey what was the name again? KIM Charles Boaz. OFFICER Charles Boaz? LEATHERMAN With a dying declaration, the person who�s dying, you have to talk to them and tell them �Hey, there�s a good chance you�re going to die. Do you understand what I�m saying?� �Yeah. I understand I�m about to die. Here�s who did it.� And if you jump through those hoops, then that stuff can be used in court. LEATHERMAN Hopefully we�ll be able to use this as a dying declaration. LEATHERMAN But, I don�t think it�s going to be an issue as far as getting Charles Boaz arrested. There�s a pill bottle right where the shooting happened in our suspect�s name. The last person he�s talking with is this Charles Boaz, so I think we�re plenty good to get him. WHITE Tomorrow morning we�ll put everything together, and we�ll submit it to the DA. And we�ll get an arrest warrant. LEATHERMAN There�s still the question of the second person when the shooting happens. I mean, just because Charles was there doesn�t necessarily mean he�s the shooter. It could be this other guy that we don�t know about. WHITE We just got the warrant signed for Charles Boaz. I notified our Fugitive Warrants Unit to start the hunt. WHITE There�s an address that I got in Jenks that I�ll send you... LEATHERMAN He�s setting up on a truck that is linked to Boaz. WHITE The most important thing to me right now is to get Mr. Boaz in custody. And then we�ll go from there. JANEECE I�m coming. You want to go down the slide, don�t you? Okay. Which one? JANEECE Kim was just a, he was an amazing person. He was...he was more... he was going to be more to mean and mean more to me than I had ever thought when I met him. JANEECE I�d been living on the street since I was 16. And I was into hardcore drugs, and that�s kinda like the scene he was in. I was in a really dark place when I met him. JANEECE Three months before I had her, I moved in. He was a phenomenal father. He didn�t push back in anything regarding her. He was very understanding almost to a point to where it was annoying. But, I loved him for it. JANEECE I just know that he got really desperate. He was trying to figure out, you know, what can I do to make ends meet plus some. You know, and feel secure. And not feel like, �Oh I�m going to be at my mom�s house for the rest of my life.� You know, like that�s really hard on somebody. JANEECE I think he wanted to be a lot like his father. His dad was there for him. And when his dad passed away, it devastated him. CHAZ We come from a rough part of this city. We weren�t on the greatest paths in high school, neither one of us, especially after he lost his dad. JAMEEL Over the years he would talk about his dad, as of like, how he wants to be, you know, a better person for himself and his daughter, you know. CHAZ He had been in some trouble, had some things on his record. As we all know as people, in the system that we�re in, once you have a blemish, it�s becomes very, very hard to overcome that. JAMEEL He was working this job. And he was always talking about how he wanted to, you know, provide for his family, you know, have him his own spot. Just as a father would do. JAMEEL You try to do your best to take care of your family. And you know, we all make mistakes. He wasn�t a perfect person, but he was still a good person, a good person. WHITE This morning, the Fugitive Warrants guys, they basically.... RADIO I�m pulling in the parking lot now. WHITE ... been setting up surveillance on the potential house where Charles Boaz may have been staying. They set up surveillance at that location and apparently, they followed him on another location. They think they�ve got him spotted He�s sitting in a car. And, that�s where we�re at. They�re maintaining surveillance at this moment. RADIO It�s him. RADIO I�ll circle around and park close to him. RADIO We�re probably good. We�ll just let it play out. RADIO Yeah. RADIO He�s getting ready to get out. RADIO Let�s do this. RADIO I can see his hands. RADIO Copy that. RADIO Jason, we�re 15. WHITE He�s in custody. WHITE Perfect. Whether he�s the shooter or not, he�s involved. So, you know, we�ll see. WHITE This kid doesn�t seem like somebody that�s just a arch criminal type. WHITE And, I really want to know who the second guy is. And he�s got to tell me that, or otherwise, I don�t know how the heck I�m going to find that out anytime soon. WHITE I�d like to have an opportunity to speak to him. WHITE Hey man, Charles. Sit up for me. BOAZ I want a lawyer. WHITE Ok. WHITE We�re going to get your fingerprints, and we�re going to get your DNA. WHITE He�s not going to be speaking to me. WARRANTS Did he get in a fight? WHITE Witness who lives next door saw some sort of a physical altercation. WARRANTS Because if you look, he�s got his hands taped up. Band-aids... WHITE Perfect. Thank you. I need to photograph that. Man I love it. WHITE He�s going to have to be transported to Osage County. WARRANTS What�d you do? Spelling something out for me? WARRANTS Alright, we�ll go to the restroom real quick. WARRANTS What�s that say? I can�t read it. WHITE He wrote innocent on the table. Ok. Well, the evidence isn�t supporting that right now. WHITE We�re going to head back over in the area where this homicide happened. Re-canvass a couple of houses where they may have some video. WHITE Hey, I�m Detective White. We were going to take a look at your cameras, okay? NEIGHBOR Yes. WHITE How are you? I need to get that guy�s car on video. WHITE You got a ring doorbell camera. NEIGHBOR Yeah, yeah, we just put that in yesterday. WHITE Oh, ok. WHITE Oh, we didn�t get lucky. Alright. WHITE Right now, I�m still looking for the second guy in this. Once, I do find out who he is, maybe he�ll come around and tell me what happened. WHITE We�re going to Pawhuska where we�re going to visit with Charles Boaz. His attorney reached out and indicated to us that he was willing to tell us the story. WHITE I think that he�s starting to see that the case against him is incredibly strong. And he doesn�t really have much of a choice but to try to have a little bit of self-preservation. WHITE My name's Jason White. Your attorney indicated to me that you wished to make a statement. Basically, just tell me what happened. BOAZ The dude, Kim, he sent somebody to me� BOAZ � that hustled me. WHITE How did you get played? BOAZ I gave him some pills, and he gave me an envelope with some napkins in it. WHITE And you left and then realized that he screwed you over. BOAZ Yeah. WHITE How much money are we talking about that his buddy ended up taking you for? BOAZ It was like six or seven hundred dollars. BOAZ So, I hit Kim up to tell me who the dude was� BOAZ � cause I was gonna beat him up for scamming me. BOAZ He didn't wanna give up his dude cause he didn�t want to be in the middle of it. WHITE There's a lot of messages on his phone between the both of you about pills. So, you guys were discussing some sort of a transaction. Is that fair to say? BOAZ It wasn�t a transaction. It was basically �If you� BOAZ � call the dude over here and let me get my one-on-one with him� BOAZ I�ll let you have these pills.� BOAZ I'm like �Man, you set me up.� BOAZ We've been knowing each other for a long time. Like, we rode tight.� BOAZ Like, �That's fucked up, I�d never do you like that.� BOAZ And then I punched him. BOAZ We started fighting. BOAZ I ended up slamming him on the ground. BOAZ And then, he had my arms locked in to where I couldn't move my arm. BOAZ Then, when that happened� BOAZ � my cousin had got out the car. BOAZ My cousin pulled me off of him. BOAZ When he pulled me off him, Kim got up and started reaching. BOAZ Like he had something. BOAZ Then I just heard shots go off. BOAZ I took off running. BOAZ I heard shots shooting back at us. BOAZ Me and my kinfolk got in the car and drove off. WHITE Who was your cousin, the kinfolk that came over there with you? WHITE I know it's not easy for you. BOAZ His name is Lawrence. WHITE Last name? BOAZ Mitchell. WHITE After this had happened, your cousin, was he worried? BOAZ I know he was worried because he know I�m not that type of dude. WHITE Okay. BOAZ So, it was like some type of situation like, �Damn, I hope I didn�t fuck my big cousin up.� WHITE Did you know that the guy died? BOAZ I didn�t know that until two days later. BOAZ I didn�t think nothing happened �cause he was popping back. Know what I mean? WHITE Ok. Alright, well, very good. LEATHERMAN Thank you. WHITE I think he�s minimizing some of his involvement. But, he identified his cousin as Lawrence Mitchell. WHITE I�m going to pull up Lawrence Mitchell. WHITE He�s currently in custody. WHITE We are definitely going to make an attempt to try to talk to him. WHITE It took a little bit of time to get the warrant issued for him, you know, due to COVID and all this other stuff. Once that happened, we went down to the jail to go pick him up. WHITE I hope that Lawrence tells us what�s up. WHITE You know I know your cousin. I�ve spoke to him. I just want you to tell me what happened. MITCHELL Well, you know. MITCHELL I would�ve never even left out the room, out of my house�you know what I�m saying� MITCHELL � If he wouldn�t have called me, I�d have been at home. MITCHELL You know what I�m saying, but family do for family. MITCHELL Even though he told or whatever. MITCHELL It is what it is. I still love him. WHITE Who is this calling you? MITCHELL It�s my big cousin. MITCHELL His name is Charles Boaz. MITCHELL I had got a call like, �Can you ride with me? Can you bring the pistol?� MITCHELL I�m like, �For what?� MITCHELL He�s like, �I just need your help.� MITCHELL So I got in the car with him. MITCHELL You know, went over there. MITCHELL I�m in the car. There�s an altercation. WHITE Do you know the background of what that was all about? MITCHELL I just know it was over some pills. MITCHELL I guess he had owed him some money? WHITE Charles owed him money or vice versa? MITCHELL Vice versa. MITCHELL He took off on my cousin telling my cousin he wasn�t paying him shit. MITCHELL I�m sitting in the car, look back. MITCHELL I�m like, �OK, they�re just fighting.� MITCHELL �They�re gonna be done.� MITCHELL The fight went on for like seven minutes. WHITE Really? MITCHELL Get out the car. MITCHELL �Damn, bro, y�all need to break this s*** up.� MITCHELL That�s when the neighbors get to coming outside and stuff. MITCHELL That�s when I�m like, �Bro, we got to get up outta here, bro.� MITCHELL I�ve got a pistol on me. MITCHELL I�m not trying to get caught with this. I�m already fighting a case. MITCHELL They get to trippin. MITCHELL He let him go. He up on me. MITCHELL Soon as he up, I drew down on him. MITCHELL I�m like, �Bro this what you want, bro?� MITCHELL He like �I mean, like shit. You threatening me saying you got a pistol.� MITCHELL I�m like, �Bro, all right.� MITCHELL He shot. I weaved it. I shot him. WHITE How many times did you shoot? MITCHELL I don�t know. I know, like, at least four times. MITCHELL I already had mines out, MITCHELL Before he drew. MITCHELL And when he drew, he shot. That�s when I emptied. WHITE Did you ever talk to Charles after that? MITCHELL Yeah, he came to me the next day. MITCHELL He was like, �I can�t really deal with it�. MITCHELL He was like �Man, I feel bad,� MITCHELL �It shouldn�t have went that way.� MITCHELL He had came to it that they were really actually friends. MITCHELL I take full responsibility. MITCHELL My cousin got a whole family. MITCHELL I didn�t have to talk to you, but I�m just trying to get the heat off my cousin. WHITE I got a lot of respect for you for stepping up and doing the right thing. I wish you would�ve done in back in May, but I get it. MITCHELL To be honest with you, between me and you, you know I fell in love. MITCHELL I don�t want her to know what�s going on because I didn�t want to put her in that situation. WHITE Of course. MITCHELL I was trying to bond out. MITCHELL And get married. Because I don�t know what that�s like. MITCHELL I really kinda... now I gotta to tell her what�s really going on, for real. WHITE Appreciate it. MITCHELL I appreciate you being kind, sir. WHITE No, seriously man, I appreciate you. Thank you. MITCHELL If you talk to Charles, you tell him how much I love him. WHITE Count on it. I�ll do that. Alright? WHITE It�s kind of nice to hear the story. Blood�s thicker than water and I think that he�s wanting to do the right thing in the event that it may help his cousin out a little bit. So. And he admittedly... he admitted that it was kind of bad idea to do what he did. And it kinda.. by pulling that gun out, it kinda escalated it to another level. WHITE The victim, him, and the other defendant, Charles Boaz, you know, all three of them kinda let this get to a point where it shouldn�t have. WHITE This case, it�s a sad story. This is one that certainly could�ve been avoided. And, the real victim here is ultimately, it�s going to be that little girl that grows up without a father. MOM Here�s with his dad. So sweet. These were just precious, precious times. I love this picture. Once Khloe came along it was all about their unit. I think it would have been a beautiful life. I really do. SHERRI Kim was always life of the party, great smile. Had great stories to tell. KATHRYN Kim was gentle and kind. He would�ve done anything. He had that kind of a heart. MAURICE What I miss most about him is... he would... he would pop up at the house like his dad used to. Kim would come over, and he�d follow me all over the house. KIM You want to see something cool? Check this out. Look at this. Hold on, hold on, hold on. That�s some shrimp like Daddy used to make. Oh, yeah. MOM You know it�s so different losing someone in this way. To lose a younger person and for such a stupid reason, it�s just, uh, devastating. He would�ve really enjoyed life. MOM Is that daddy and baby Khloe? That�s daddy and Khloe when she was a teeny, weeny baby. JANEECE Forever she�s always going to want to know the other half of her. And never get to know that. And never get to know how much he loved her. JANEECE I just don�t want the way he went out to be the story that�s left of who he was or who he is, because that�s not the case. He was so much more than that. NARRATEUR For homicide detectives their chance of solving a murder is cut in half if they don�t Get a lead within the first 48 hours.
