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.
Here.
Howdy. How are you guys?
The victim's Ana Karen.
24-year-old Ana Karen Ramos Hernandez
was born in Cuernavaca, Mexico,
and moved to the United States when she was ten.
Since graduating high school,
Karen worked as a house painter
and was learning how to do home renovation.
She enjoyed spending her free time
with her four nieces, two cats, and two dogs.
Karen was stabbed over 40 times.
All right.
Mm-hmm?
Karen's sister says that until recently,
Karen had lived with her longtime boyfriend,
Sebastian Omaña Torres.
She says she called Sebastian's father
after discovering Karen's body.
Sebastian's father told her
his son moved in with him four days ago.
She says Sebastian's father
is on the way to the scene.
Downstairs from Karen's apartment...
Detective David Early
talks to Karen's neighbor.
Hey, it's Detective Early, Gwinnett PD.
Does this thing work?
Looks like it does.
Do you mind if I kind of look back
and see if we can't see what happened?
Motion clips.
12:16 a.m.
This dude walking real, real, real slow up that direction.
Like, sneaking up the steps.
Thank you, sir.
Sebastian's father arrives to talk to detectives.
Mm.
The white SUV
hit a Flock camera
in South Georgia near Valdosta at 6:00 p.m. this evening.
Karen's Explorer was spotted
leaving the state heading south.
Check flights from Miami to Colombia today.
See if there's any.
I believe that we're at PC already
for an arrest warrant for the suspect.
Headed back to headquarters
to work on that arrest warrant.
That's him.
26-year-old Kurt Sebastian Omaña Torres
has no prior convictions.
Sebastian's originally from Colombia.
That could be a potential location
where he would want to flee.
Miami to fly over to Colombia, it would be really easy.
A lot of international flights
come out of Miami to South America.
He left the state. He has a day ahead of us.
We're having the U.S. Marshals
to go ahead and try to track him down.
Marshals have a lot more resources to locate suspects.
Two days later.
Gwinnett Police. Hello.
Vehicle's empty. He's gonna be inside.
Hey, who came in in that white Explorer?
Is he in the bathroom?
You in the bathroom, step out.
It's Gwinnett Police.
Yeah.
Let me see your hands. Step out.
OK. No problem.
Both hands. Step out.
Both hands, both hands. Hey!
Step out.
Come here.
Can you confirm his name?
It's a domestic-related stabbing.
- Omaña Torres? - Yeah, it's him.
He goes to 35.
Karen's white Ford Explorer had hit on our
license plate-reading cameras there around 11:00.
We got information from the father.
Kurt had returned home, and then he left
and said that he was going to go to a gas station.
That video is definitely this guy.
Mm-hmm.
The video they said, it does.
'Cause he's got long hair.
You can see the little shave on the side.
Mm-hmm. That's him. Mm-hmm.
OK.
Show him going to her house.
For y'all to say we can clearly see your face
and your mask is off.
Be like, dude, we knew you were there.
And then I put pictures of her in there.
Mm-hmm.
I say we start playing the--
playing the relationship first.
Why they split, how that went,
kind of getting him in that mind state.
Mm-hmm.
Detectives show Sebastian
crime scene photos of Karen's body.
[bleep], man.
Oh, my goodness.
He doesn't take off the mask
until he's walking down the stairs from the apartment,
so I believe he had his mask on the entire time.
I think he's just full of it.
The kiss?
I think it's just all to try to make himself feel better.
And I think it was probably a lot of revenge
and anger in there, and for all we know,
I mean, she dumped him and he wasn't having it.
Unfortunately, we do see this a lot
when it comes to domestics
and the stabbing being the injuries.
There's always a lot of rage and emotion behind it.
In his mind,
think that she still loved him all the way till the end.
Six months after Karen's death...
OK. What's up? What's up?
The car backed up and hit the tree.
The Chevy Malibu? Yeah.
Got any victim information?
The driver, Camden Dorch Jackson.
25-year-old Camden Jackson
worked at a local Winn-Dixie
and part-time for his uncle's painting business.
Camden's first child was due in seven months.
Camden was shot eight times.
The passenger? Devonte Kennedy.
26-year-old Van Kennedy IV
was the youngest of three and loved to spend time
with his young nieces and nephews.
He recently graduated Fortis College
for heating and air conditioning.
The right cheek.
The left neck.
Left behind the ear.
In the left shoulder.
Van was shot nine times.
All we know is that the car was in--was here?
Here.
Mentioned someone in the street.
Along the road and sidewalk,
detectives find 25 9-millimeter casings.
When he pulled up and started shooting,
they tried to ram, go forward, and then couldn't get out,
so they backed up.
Collected two .40-caliber guns from within the vehicle.
You see the blood pool from his finger?
Mm-hmm.
The gun was laying right there.
Shell casings inside the car.
They find eight .40-caliber casings
in the front.
And two 9-millimeter casings
in the back.
A bloody palm print
on the driver's side rear exterior door.
Someone ran up to the car like this and braced,
and may have fired more because of the casings in there.
That's [bleep] crazy, dude.
Maybe our suspect was shot.
It could be his blood.
Walked up and fired more shots inside of the car.
I just want to know from the shooter why, you know?
Lieutenant Stan Ladnier
interviews the 911 caller
who was working at the nearby drugstore.
Mm-hmm.
She says the man was shooting into
the victim's Chevy Malibu.
She says the shooter then ran back
to his gray SUV and drove away.
He got back in the car. Where did the car go?
OK. All right. I appreciate it.
So the information about the gray SUV
was passed on to patrol.
Anyone else? Any witnesses?
The girl that's in the Joker shirt over there.
KeeKee. - OK.
OK, now tell me what happened.
Mm-hmm.
What his hair was like?
How tall?
What's his complexion?
Dark skin, light skin?
And he was only one guy got out?
Was he the passenger or the driver?
All right.
Why was he so pissed off about it
for you to get out your car
and then come over trying to finish it?
We'll talk to Mom.
How did y'all know to come here?
Camden's mother says
a friend of Camden called her with the news.
Yes, ma'am.
Did she say anything about
that she knew about what happened
or what could have caused it or anything like that?
You know if he was beefing with anybody or--
We're working on it,
and you'll be the first person,
once someone is arrested, we will call you first.
If you receive information about someone
saying this is who did it or anything like that,
of course, give me a phone call.
All right. Thank y'all.
Then...
There's a guy at the hospital.
A hospital near the crime scene
has admitted a Black male patient
who walked in with a gunshot wound.
He had a bald head
like everybody out here is describing.
So he actually is shot.
The man has a laceration wound
across the back of the head.
He was dropped off in a black Monte Carlo.
We gotta figure out where he dropped his truck off.
As the team wraps up the scene...
Officers find a gray SUV
matching the description of the suspect vehicle
a half mile away.
Found it abandoned at 315 Avenue F.
That's in Prichard or something?
It's gotta be.
Patrol should be over there and they're gonna stand by
until we can all make it over there.
All right, time to head over there then.
Good abandoned house. Great job.
Oh, wow.
KeeKee, check this out.
Caught a jackpot.
The guy this comes back to is at the hospital.
Blood on the vehicle on the driver's side.
You can tell by the laminate on the glass.
It's pointing inward, so it would've been
the force of the bullet going into the windshield.
It looks like he was shot
while he was inside of the car.
That gun's still in the car.
We're gonna have to get a search warrant.
This is gonna be our SUV that he pretty much stashed.
Parked the car here, got out, walked away,
and probably found someone to take him.
At least we have a possible suspect.
You know, hopefully, he can give us our why.
That's all we got. He's at the hospital.
Sergeant Nick Crepeau
interviews the suspect.
The street he names runs through the intersection
of the crime scene.
Two hours later...
the suspect is brought to headquarters.
I think this our guy.
I think we do have enough for-- for murder.
This guy drove his vehicle away from the scene,
parked it at another location.
Thing what I want to know is, what's the history,
you know, behind these two guys.
I'm looking at trying to find something for him,
James David Wilson.
James David Wilson IV is 38 years old.
He was already arrested for murder before?
Yeah?
Said he pled guilty for murder.
That's crazy.
Back in 2007.
2291 St. Stephens Road.
The previous incident occurred
less than a block away from the shooting this afternoon.
Double homicide with James Wilson back in 2007
happened here.
The double homicide with Camden and Van Kennedy
is here...
directly right across the street from here.
It's crazy.
Wilson served five years
and was released ten years ago.
Hopefully he talk as well.
All right, let's go talk to him.
What's up, man?
Let me get this chair right here real quick.
All right. Give me a second, man.
Call your pop.
Hey, Mr. Wilson.
Hey, we're out here talking to your son,
and he said he want to talk to us,
but he want you to be here with him.
He's here at headquarters for our investigation.
You want to come down here?
All right.
He's gonna be on his way.
Detective Rogers? - Yes, sir, yes, sir.
James's father arrives with an attorney.
All right. All right.
He can tell us to kick rocks all day long.
He can kick rocks at the Metro Jail.
Call the DA's office and see what they got to say.
Hey.
Rogers lays out the evidence to the DA.
OK. All right. Appreciate it.
The ADA approved the charges of two counts of murder
and two counts of shooting into an occupied vehicle.
So that's good. We can get him to a Metro Jail.
Hello? - Hey, Ms. Jackson.
Uh-huh.
Hey, this is Detective Rogers.
Yes, sir.
Hey, I'm just calling to tell you
that we made an arrest on your son's case.
Thank you so much.
The person that was responsible was James Wilson.
That's the only individual?
Yes, ma'am.
I really appreciate that so much.
You're welcome. OK.
All right. Bye-bye.
Bye.
Hello.
Hey, Mrs. Williams.
Yes.
OK. Van's mom? Yes.
OK, I was calling to tell you
that we made an arrest on your son's case.
Oh, you did? - Yes, ma'am.
That's great.
Why--why he say he do it?
We don't know exactly why he did it.
OK.
All right, all right. Thank you.
All right. Thank you.
All right.
The toughest part is to tell them that their--
that their loved one is deceased, you know?
The better part of-- of this is telling them
that, you know, we actually made an arrest.
You know, so they don't have to have those sleepless nights
wondering, you know, who killed their loved one.
Who killed their child?
Four years later...
We learned that Jam Rock is James Wilson.
He confirmed there was beef with Camden and James.
We went to trial.
The defense attorneys were attempting
to say that it was self-defense,
but because James Wilson was convicted of a double homicide
15 years prior, he had a duty to retreat.
He didn't do so.
He exited his vehicle and executed both our victims
that were inside of their vehicle.
That area in Toulminville is pretty much
a busy intersection for you to have a shootout
during that time, during daytime.
It shows that you don't care.
But James Wilson was found guilty of capital murder.
