00:00:01,967 --> 00:00:04,066
[eerie tones playing]

2
00:00:22,367 --> 00:00:23,600
[phone ringing]

3
00:00:39,867 --> 00:00:40,967
[phone ringing]

4
00:00:52,900 --> 00:00:54,100
[phone ringing]

5
00:01:25,367 --> 00:01:26,367
[beeping]

6
00:01:26,533 --> 00:01:28,467
[siren wailing]

7
00:01:41,767 --> 00:01:44,000
[Adam]
On March 1st at about 5:25 PM.

8
00:01:44,166 --> 00:01:46,900
we received multiple 911 calls
from the Mill Pond Park area.

9
00:01:47,867 --> 00:01:50,367
Reports were saying that people
were fleeing from the vehicle,

10
00:01:50,367 --> 00:01:51,567
possibly a shooting.

11
00:01:51,567 --> 00:01:52,800
We had no idea
the number of victims

12
00:01:52,967 --> 00:01:54,133
that might have been
at the scene.

13
00:01:54,133 --> 00:01:56,066
We also had no idea where
the shooter was at that time.

14
00:01:57,767 --> 00:01:59,100
[beeping]

15
00:01:59,266 --> 00:02:00,567
[gun being loaded]

16
00:02:00,567 --> 00:02:02,700
When I arrived on scene,
I activated my body camera.

17
00:02:10,767 --> 00:02:12,867
My initial thoughts were that
to find the car to start with,

18
00:02:13,033 --> 00:02:14,300
and then work our way
to people from there.

19
00:02:26,567 --> 00:02:28,100
[Adam] First thing I saw
was a white sedan

20
00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:29,900
that was crashed in the front
of the residence.

21
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,467
And within that vehicle,
I witnessed a subject that was

22
00:02:36,633 --> 00:02:38,000
slumped over and possibly
shot in the head.

23
00:02:44,867 --> 00:02:48,166
He was breathing,
but it wasn't direct breathing,

24
00:02:48,166 --> 00:02:49,266
so the breath wasn't great.

25
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:58,500
We try to ask people
"Who shot you? Who hurt you?"

26
00:02:58,667 --> 00:03:00,467
'Cause initially, if they are
going to pass away,

27
00:03:00,633 --> 00:03:02,200
they give us what's called
a dying declaration.

28
00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:07,200
That would be
the only chance they had

29
00:03:07,367 --> 00:03:08,367
to tell us what happened.

30
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,300
[Adam] At that point in time,
we couldn't get

31
00:03:19,467 --> 00:03:20,400
any information from the victim.

32
00:03:20,567 --> 00:03:21,700
He couldn't tell us
what happened,

33
00:03:21,867 --> 00:03:22,934
who had done it to him.

34
00:03:22,934 --> 00:03:24,367
We had no idea what happened
at that point in time

35
00:03:24,533 --> 00:03:25,800
to help us solve
the mystery of what occurred

36
00:03:25,967 --> 00:03:26,967
before we arrived.

37
00:03:28,166 --> 00:03:29,667
[indistinct voice on radio]

38
00:03:40,166 --> 00:03:42,200
[Adam] They got the victim
into the hospital

39
00:03:42,367 --> 00:03:44,400
in critical condition
with gunshot wounds to the head.

40
00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:48,900
We put tape around the area
and we secured everything

41
00:03:49,066 --> 00:03:50,133
for all the evidence.

42
00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:54,100
I've been a police officer
for almost 17 years.

43
00:03:54,266 --> 00:03:57,166
My job is not to get emotional
about what I see in front of me

44
00:03:57,333 --> 00:03:59,633
at that point in time.
That's for later.

45
00:04:02,166 --> 00:04:04,266
[Adam] our job is to be there
now, calm, cool, and collected,

46
00:04:04,433 --> 00:04:06,834
save as many people as we can,
and figure out what happened.

47
00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:11,066
Once we have the crime scene
completely secured,

48
00:04:11,233 --> 00:04:12,767
we return our attention
back to the white sedan.

49
00:04:14,867 --> 00:04:16,700
Collected evidence
from the inside of the vehicle,

50
00:04:16,867 --> 00:04:19,500
[camera shooting]

51
00:04:19,667 --> 00:04:21,667
including shell casings,
as well as DNA evidence.

52
00:04:21,667 --> 00:04:23,200
[Officer] Looks like a 380.

53
00:04:23,367 --> 00:04:25,667
I got one unspent and one spent.

54
00:04:25,667 --> 00:04:27,967
[camera shooting]

55
00:04:28,133 --> 00:04:29,700
There were spent rounds

56
00:04:30,767 --> 00:04:33,100
found inside the vehicle.

57
00:04:33,266 --> 00:04:35,800
so there was a possibility
that the shooting

58
00:04:35,967 --> 00:04:38,266
actually occurred
inside the vehicle.

59
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:43,000
But no weapon was recovered
at that time.

60
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,700
It did seem that the people
within the car

61
00:04:44,867 --> 00:04:46,200
were specifically targeted.

62
00:04:48,667 --> 00:04:51,100
But why were they targeted?

63
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:52,767
What is the motivating factor
in this?

64
00:04:52,767 --> 00:04:54,133
What was the gain?

65
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,266
[Adam]
Next, we turn our attention
to one of the 911 callers,

66
00:04:58,433 --> 00:05:00,467
the homeowner of the residence
where the vehicle had wrecked.

67
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:06,600
Based on that one call,
we knew that we had

68
00:05:06,767 --> 00:05:08,266
another victim
or possibly an accused

69
00:05:08,433 --> 00:05:09,400
somewhere in the trailer park.

70
00:05:17,266 --> 00:05:20,667
That 911 caller tried
to provide the best description

71
00:05:20,667 --> 00:05:22,567
she could at that time.

72
00:05:22,567 --> 00:05:26,600
The witness said that she did
observe that subject running

73
00:05:26,767 --> 00:05:28,467
from the vehicle
in a brown jacket.

74
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:48,700
That 911 caller wasn't able
to determine whether or not

75
00:05:48,867 --> 00:05:51,500
that person was the victim
or the shooter.

76
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,767
We needed to locate him
as soon as possible.

77
00:05:58,166 --> 00:05:59,800
Here everything.

78
00:05:59,967 --> 00:06:02,467
She got in the car
and she took off that turn.

79
00:06:02,467 --> 00:06:04,300
After we speak to the 911
callers, we do begin

80
00:06:04,467 --> 00:06:07,300
to canvass the area where
an incident occurred.

81
00:06:07,467 --> 00:06:09,166
And that's when a witness
had stepped forward and told us

82
00:06:09,166 --> 00:06:12,066
that a gentleman had ran
towards a mobile home,

83
00:06:12,233 --> 00:06:13,266
possibly covered
in blood.

84
00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:26,367
[Officer on radio]
One-nine, just get
down here, please.

85
00:06:26,533 --> 00:06:27,700
[Officer on radio]
Ten-four.

86
00:06:27,867 --> 00:06:29,967
[Adam] We responded
to that mobile home,

87
00:06:30,133 --> 00:06:32,200
tried to find either more
victims or the possible shooter.

88
00:06:36,867 --> 00:06:38,967
[voice on radio]

89
00:06:49,166 --> 00:06:53,767
we have to always approach
any situation with safety,

90
00:06:53,767 --> 00:06:55,867
because at that time,
we're not gonna know

91
00:06:55,867 --> 00:06:57,800
if that's a bad guy
or a good guy.

92
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:06,467
[Adam]
We got into the mobile home,

93
00:07:06,633 --> 00:07:10,000
and there was an unknown male
on the floor holding a towel

94
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,166
to the back of his head.

95
00:07:12,667 --> 00:07:14,000
He was not armed.

96
00:07:14,166 --> 00:07:16,300
So I began holding
pressure to his head.

97
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,467
The subject was able to tell me
his name, Davon Hudson.

98
00:07:26,633 --> 00:07:28,600
Davon had told us that he was
driving the vehicle.

99
00:07:28,767 --> 00:07:29,767
[camera shooting]

100
00:07:42,467 --> 00:07:43,600
He gave us the name
of the victim

101
00:07:43,767 --> 00:07:44,967
they took to the hospital,

102
00:07:45,133 --> 00:07:46,266
Delayno Hudson, Jr.

103
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,066
[soft piano music playing]

104
00:07:52,233 --> 00:07:53,767
[Tacara]
He was a beautiful soul.

105
00:07:54,767 --> 00:07:56,266
Growing up, he was

106
00:07:57,500 --> 00:08:00,300
so happy, full of joy,
full of energy.

107
00:08:02,066 --> 00:08:04,066
Always wanting to move
and go somewhere,

108
00:08:04,233 --> 00:08:06,667
wanted to go see somebody
or some family.

109
00:08:08,266 --> 00:08:11,967
My uncle and my aunt made sure
they did everything they could

110
00:08:12,133 --> 00:08:13,500
to give him the best childhood.

111
00:08:18,767 --> 00:08:21,200
I got word that he was shot
in the head.

112
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,500
I received a phone call
from my sister.

113
00:08:25,667 --> 00:08:29,166
She's just yelling
and screaming, and I can't

114
00:08:29,166 --> 00:08:30,767
really understand
what she's saying.

115
00:08:30,767 --> 00:08:32,367
And she's like,

116
00:08:32,533 --> 00:08:33,567
they shot him.

117
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:36,000
Delayno, they shot him.

118
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:40,100
I said, "Well, can -- is he OK?
Is he gonna live?"

119
00:08:41,300 --> 00:08:43,400
And she's like, "I don't know."
And she's just

120
00:08:43,567 --> 00:08:45,000
bawling and crying.

121
00:08:46,567 --> 00:08:48,066
So...

122
00:08:48,233 --> 00:08:49,700
I -- I prayed.

123
00:08:50,767 --> 00:08:52,867
And I prayed, and I prayed,
and I prayed.

124
00:08:53,033 --> 00:08:54,300
And I asked God just to

125
00:08:54,467 --> 00:08:55,767
[inhales deeply]

126
00:08:55,767 --> 00:08:57,266
please spare his life.

127
00:09:12,467 --> 00:09:14,266
[Adam] When Davon had told me
that there were four people

128
00:09:14,433 --> 00:09:15,900
inside the vehicle,

129
00:09:16,066 --> 00:09:17,200
at that point in time,
I realized this wasn't

130
00:09:17,367 --> 00:09:18,667
just a random shooting.

131
00:09:18,834 --> 00:09:20,266
This was a targeted situation.

132
00:09:21,567 --> 00:09:22,967
When I put Davon
into the ambulance,

133
00:09:24,867 --> 00:09:26,200
my first question
that ran through my mind

134
00:09:26,367 --> 00:09:28,667
when I thought everything
was close range and was personal

135
00:09:28,834 --> 00:09:31,166
was who was inside the vehicle
with them?

136
00:09:31,166 --> 00:09:34,066
and who did they either
make angry or have with them

137
00:09:34,233 --> 00:09:35,767
in the vehicle by the time
this incident occurred.

138
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:39,800
We had to move fast
if we're gonna get ahead of it.

139
00:09:40,767 --> 00:09:42,900
We began to spread out
and fan out throughout the area.

140
00:09:43,066 --> 00:09:44,900
We were attempting
to find more evidence,

141
00:09:45,066 --> 00:09:46,700
or possibly more victims,

142
00:09:47,767 --> 00:09:49,600
and we still had no idea
who the shooter was

143
00:09:49,767 --> 00:09:51,500
or where he could
possibly be at.

144
00:09:53,967 --> 00:09:55,467
A few blocks away
from the mobile home park,

145
00:09:55,467 --> 00:09:58,367
we located a gentleman that was
wearing a brown Carhartt jacket

146
00:09:58,533 --> 00:10:00,300
that was slumped over,
appeared to be staggering

147
00:10:00,467 --> 00:10:01,533
while he was walking.

148
00:10:02,900 --> 00:10:04,767
So we had to think about
if this guy was the person

149
00:10:04,934 --> 00:10:06,100
that pulled the trigger
or was he also

150
00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:07,333
running away for his life?

151
00:10:08,266 --> 00:10:10,266
[Martha] It's always a mystery
to figure out what the motive

152
00:10:10,266 --> 00:10:11,567
of a crime is.

153
00:10:11,567 --> 00:10:16,767
So not having any idea
what could have transpired

154
00:10:16,934 --> 00:10:18,000
between these people...

155
00:10:19,266 --> 00:10:21,667
This was a challenge
we needed to accomplish.

156
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:30,567
2
[suspenseful tones playing]

157
00:10:30,734 --> 00:10:32,266
[Adam] At this point, we had
two victims at the hospital,

158
00:10:33,367 --> 00:10:36,166
Davon and Delayno Hudson, Jr.,

159
00:10:37,367 --> 00:10:39,600
both in critical condition
with gunshot wounds to the head.

160
00:10:42,667 --> 00:10:43,767
Then we had a third man,

161
00:10:44,867 --> 00:10:46,133
somebody on the road.

162
00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:51,000
Possible victim or possible
suspect, we weren't sure yet.

163
00:10:56,367 --> 00:10:58,800
The gentleman identified
himself as Jim.

164
00:11:00,767 --> 00:11:02,467
He was very bloody,

165
00:11:02,467 --> 00:11:05,700
but at this point in time,
we were on high alert

166
00:11:05,867 --> 00:11:08,200
'cause there's a potential
of an active shooter

167
00:11:08,367 --> 00:11:09,600
around the surrounding areas.

168
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,500
In moments like this,
we have three different people

169
00:11:21,667 --> 00:11:24,100
in three different places
that all need police.

170
00:11:26,567 --> 00:11:30,300
Our training is to never make
the scene too small

171
00:11:30,467 --> 00:11:31,667
to see the bigger picture.

172
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:41,934
[Adam] Jim was not armed.

173
00:11:43,100 --> 00:11:45,000
Jim had told us that to him,
everything was a blur.

174
00:11:46,266 --> 00:11:47,467
He had no idea
what had happened.

175
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,633
[distorted voice on radio]

176
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,266
Situations like this makes it
very difficult for detectives

177
00:11:57,433 --> 00:12:00,767
to figure out what took place
when they're working

178
00:12:00,934 --> 00:12:03,266
with only a fraction
of the information

179
00:12:03,266 --> 00:12:06,867
of what had taken place,
and why are four people's lives

180
00:12:06,867 --> 00:12:08,000
forever changed?

181
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,100
What was big enough
to make this happen?

182
00:12:13,467 --> 00:12:15,600
And still no answer
to that question.

183
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,367
[Adam]
And after transporting Jim
to the hospital,

184
00:12:20,533 --> 00:12:21,600
we called in the K-9 unit.

185
00:12:23,767 --> 00:12:25,567
We were still looking
for the fourth person

186
00:12:26,667 --> 00:12:29,633
and possibly the shooter
from the car at this time.

187
00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:34,867
A canine's nose is much
different than a human's nose

188
00:12:35,033 --> 00:12:36,500
and much more sensitive.

189
00:12:37,767 --> 00:12:41,266
They are able to smell things
and alert their handlers

190
00:12:41,266 --> 00:12:44,767
of what particular trail
they're taking

191
00:12:44,934 --> 00:12:49,667
based on how
they've been trained.

192
00:12:49,667 --> 00:12:54,066
The K-9 team was able to
find a location starting point

193
00:12:54,233 --> 00:12:56,767
and track from that starting
point to see if they could

194
00:12:56,934 --> 00:12:58,266
pick up a trail.

195
00:12:59,667 --> 00:13:00,734
He came down the road.

196
00:13:00,734 --> 00:13:04,266
At one point, they track
to a trailer that was

197
00:13:04,433 --> 00:13:06,166
either occupied or unoccupied.

198
00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:10,400
When they did that, I was
stuck on a perimeter point

199
00:13:10,567 --> 00:13:12,367
around the trailer

200
00:13:12,367 --> 00:13:14,467
to make sure that no one fled
from that trailer

201
00:13:14,633 --> 00:13:16,300
while officers went in
to search it.

202
00:13:21,567 --> 00:13:24,300
[Daniel]
During those situations,
we have to be very vigilant

203
00:13:24,467 --> 00:13:25,767
and aware of our surroundings.

204
00:13:27,066 --> 00:13:30,400
The K-9 team tracked
to this location and trailer,

205
00:13:30,567 --> 00:13:32,800
but that accused
could be anywhere

206
00:13:32,967 --> 00:13:34,000
in the surrounding areas.

207
00:13:35,367 --> 00:13:37,166
We always had to keep
our head on a swivel

208
00:13:37,166 --> 00:13:38,767
and just stay very focused.

209
00:13:41,266 --> 00:13:42,567
That just added to the mystery.

210
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,100
We take every step to preserve
the life of our officers,

211
00:13:52,266 --> 00:13:56,000
and those dogs are trained
to go into situations

212
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,667
in order to grab onto that
particular suspect or victims

213
00:14:00,667 --> 00:14:04,000
and give the officers
an opportunity to go in there

214
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,367
after the dog has engaged
with that person.

215
00:14:12,867 --> 00:14:14,567
[Adam] It was empty

216
00:14:14,734 --> 00:14:16,166
and it became
extremely frustrating for us

217
00:14:16,166 --> 00:14:18,266
to deal with, 'cause now we're
starting to lose the daylight,

218
00:14:18,433 --> 00:14:19,867
which makes everything
much more difficult.

219
00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:23,667
While we were searching,
someone came forward

220
00:14:23,667 --> 00:14:26,266
and said that the shooter
possibly ran down the street.

221
00:14:29,767 --> 00:14:31,867
[dramatic music playing]

222
00:14:53,567 --> 00:14:55,767
[tension in music increases]

223
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,100
[Adam] We had the K-9 unit
circle back

224
00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:10,100
to start up on a second track
in a different direction.

225
00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:25,467
At some point, the K-9 locked
into a scent

226
00:15:25,633 --> 00:15:28,667
that led us straight to a man
walking down the street.

227
00:15:28,667 --> 00:15:30,800
It was hard to decide if
this person wasn't the shooter

228
00:15:30,967 --> 00:15:31,967
or if they were a victim.

229
00:15:39,900 --> 00:15:41,867
[Adam] We had to make a decision
if this was the fourth person,

230
00:15:41,867 --> 00:15:43,500
the person we were looking for.

231
00:15:43,667 --> 00:15:45,266
Was it a victim?
Was it a shooter?

232
00:15:45,266 --> 00:15:46,867
We had to deal with all
that information at once.

233
00:16:18,166 --> 00:16:20,600
It's in situations like this
where you have multiple victims

234
00:16:20,767 --> 00:16:22,667
and a possible shooter
we're still trying to locate,

235
00:16:22,834 --> 00:16:24,400
it puts immense pressure
on the police department

236
00:16:24,567 --> 00:16:25,767
to take that person
into custody.

237
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:42,367
[Adam] The man was not upset.
He was not irate.

238
00:16:42,367 --> 00:16:44,400
He had no blood on him at all.

239
00:16:44,567 --> 00:16:46,367
Once we started to talk
to the subject,

240
00:16:46,367 --> 00:16:47,767
he did tell us he was
out for a walk,

241
00:16:47,767 --> 00:16:49,066
just came from
his mother's house.

242
00:17:11,767 --> 00:17:16,000
He was just a likable guy
who was really a victim

243
00:17:16,166 --> 00:17:18,000
of circumstance.

244
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,066
[Adam] When we release someone
from custody that we think

245
00:17:28,233 --> 00:17:30,667
may be an accused,
we rule them out as a suspect.

246
00:17:30,667 --> 00:17:32,867
We do apologize, and we also
give them a business card

247
00:17:33,033 --> 00:17:34,166
with our information on it,

248
00:17:34,333 --> 00:17:35,900
as well as our
supervisor's information.

249
00:17:38,367 --> 00:17:39,367
But we couldn't
slow down at all.

250
00:17:39,367 --> 00:17:40,667
We had to move forward
with the investigation

251
00:17:40,834 --> 00:17:42,667
and try to locate
the suspect and the victim.

252
00:17:42,834 --> 00:17:45,867
[siren wailing in the distance]

253
00:17:45,867 --> 00:17:48,467
As it became darker outside,
it became more difficult for us

254
00:17:48,633 --> 00:17:50,000
to locate anything.

255
00:18:16,467 --> 00:18:18,567
[indistinct female voice
on radio]

256
00:18:20,166 --> 00:18:22,367
[Adam] We searched almost
the entire mobile home park,

257
00:18:22,367 --> 00:18:24,367
as well as every outbuilding
that we could find,

258
00:18:24,367 --> 00:18:25,567
just to clear the scene.

259
00:18:33,066 --> 00:18:34,567
The amount of frustration
we're feeling at that time,

260
00:18:34,567 --> 00:18:36,300
now that we kept getting
different leads,

261
00:18:36,467 --> 00:18:39,100
and it kept ending up being
not what we were looking for.

262
00:18:41,567 --> 00:18:43,367
[Adam] Then we received a call
that changed everything.

263
00:18:44,467 --> 00:18:47,800
The doctors advised us
that one of our victims was

264
00:18:47,967 --> 00:18:50,667
on life support and was not
gonna make it.

265
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:54,567
Now, this became
a homicide investigation.

266
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,266
And this mystery had taken
a much darker turn.

267
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,533
2
-[somber music playing]
-[siren wailing]

268
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,500
[Adam] By now, we had a few
pieces of the puzzle

269
00:19:12,667 --> 00:19:13,800
getting put together.

270
00:19:14,767 --> 00:19:18,200
We knew that we had
three people in the hospital,

271
00:19:18,367 --> 00:19:19,500
two in critical condition.

272
00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:23,667
So our ultimate goal now is
to find that fourth person

273
00:19:23,667 --> 00:19:24,967
and to capture the shooter.

274
00:19:26,266 --> 00:19:27,767
[Martha] Then came the name
of the victim

275
00:19:27,767 --> 00:19:29,467
who did not survive,

276
00:19:29,467 --> 00:19:30,900
Delayno Hudson, Jr.

277
00:19:34,900 --> 00:19:36,166
[Tacara]
I learned that Delayno passed

278
00:19:36,166 --> 00:19:37,266
through a phone call.

279
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,300
[soft, sad piano music playing]

280
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,800
My mom reached out
and let me know

281
00:19:43,967 --> 00:19:45,166
that he didn't make it.

282
00:19:50,266 --> 00:19:53,867
I know at the end of the day,
God gives and He takes,

283
00:19:54,033 --> 00:19:55,166
and it's just like,

284
00:19:56,066 --> 00:19:57,166
why take that one?

285
00:20:01,667 --> 00:20:04,100
Delayno was a brother to me.

286
00:20:06,567 --> 00:20:09,800
I grew up with him
just like I did my sisters.

287
00:20:12,266 --> 00:20:15,867
We were in the same household
nine times out of ten.

288
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:21,300
He always liked to laugh,
and joke and play.

289
00:20:23,767 --> 00:20:26,000
Losing him to this day

290
00:20:26,900 --> 00:20:29,066
still rocks me to the core.

291
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,467
[soft, suspenseful tones
playing]

292
00:20:36,467 --> 00:20:38,266
[Adam] A little while later,
we learned from the hospital

293
00:20:38,266 --> 00:20:40,066
that Jim was going to survive

294
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,867
and that Davon,
who was the driver

295
00:20:43,867 --> 00:20:46,000
and had been shot in the head,
was now awake

296
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,000
and was going to survive

297
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,266
and he was able to talk to us.

298
00:20:53,567 --> 00:20:55,567
[Martha] We immediately spoke
with Davon

299
00:20:55,734 --> 00:20:59,000
about who else
he was with that day.

300
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:22,166
When I started talking
to Davon, it became clear

301
00:21:22,166 --> 00:21:24,800
that he was hesitant to provide
information that had occurred.

302
00:21:26,066 --> 00:21:28,000
Whether through fear
or through personal knowledge

303
00:21:28,166 --> 00:21:30,800
of the fourth victim
or the shooter, I wasn't sure.

304
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,800
But at this point in time,
he wasn't being forthcoming

305
00:21:34,967 --> 00:21:36,266
with information as I had hoped.

306
00:21:40,767 --> 00:21:42,900
I think that the trauma
of being shot,

307
00:21:43,066 --> 00:21:44,400
but also shot in the head,

308
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,667
and then watching a person
that you call your brother

309
00:21:49,834 --> 00:21:51,100
be shot next to you,

310
00:21:52,367 --> 00:21:54,567
knowing that that person
is dead,

311
00:21:56,967 --> 00:21:59,667
That bears a lot on a person

312
00:21:59,834 --> 00:22:03,367
in order to sort out
what to say next.

313
00:22:04,567 --> 00:22:06,467
[Adam] So, after some
initial hesitation,

314
00:22:06,633 --> 00:22:08,400
Davon did provide us
with the name

315
00:22:08,567 --> 00:22:09,767
of the fourth person
in the vehicle,

316
00:22:09,934 --> 00:22:11,000
and that was Kyvon Wells.

317
00:22:15,867 --> 00:22:17,867
Davon had told me
that early that day,

318
00:22:18,033 --> 00:22:20,300
they were going
to the Lansing Mall,

319
00:22:20,467 --> 00:22:21,867
where they were gonna sell
some cell phones.

320
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:25,066
The idea was once
those cell phones were sold,

321
00:22:25,233 --> 00:22:26,467
they were going
to split the cash.

322
00:22:28,467 --> 00:22:31,667
[Martha] So after the group sold
the cell phones

323
00:22:31,834 --> 00:22:35,800
and left the mall, they went
toward Mill Pond Village

324
00:22:35,967 --> 00:22:38,266
to drop Kyvon back off

325
00:22:38,433 --> 00:22:39,767
at where he had been staying.

326
00:22:41,900 --> 00:22:44,367
According to Davon,
as he was driving,

327
00:22:44,367 --> 00:22:46,133
Kyvon said he would just
get out.

328
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,967
That's when Davon heard
the gunshot

329
00:22:51,133 --> 00:22:53,000
and knew that he had been
shot in the head.

330
00:22:56,066 --> 00:22:57,767
He hit the gas,

331
00:22:57,767 --> 00:23:00,367
which is when he did strike
the parked car,

332
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,367
which pushed the car into
the adjacent trailer home.

333
00:23:05,467 --> 00:23:08,266
He jumped out of the car
immediately after hearing

334
00:23:08,433 --> 00:23:10,500
the first gunshot,
and then he heard

335
00:23:10,667 --> 00:23:13,600
multiple more gunshots
as he was running away.

336
00:23:13,767 --> 00:23:17,066
It looked like a robbery
related crime gone wrong.

337
00:23:17,233 --> 00:23:20,934
[Adam] At that time, Davon had
no idea where Kyvon was at.

338
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,200
After speaking to Davon,
we turned our attention

339
00:23:25,367 --> 00:23:27,100
to the other
surviving victim, Jim.

340
00:23:29,266 --> 00:23:31,266
We wanted to see if his version
of events would line up

341
00:23:31,266 --> 00:23:33,867
to Davon's to make sure
their statements were cohesive.

342
00:23:52,166 --> 00:23:54,200
[Adam] When we spoke to Jim,
he essentially was able

343
00:23:54,367 --> 00:23:57,567
to corroborate Davon's statement
about what had occurred.

344
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:02,800
We didn't have a clear motive
about what had taken place,

345
00:24:02,967 --> 00:24:06,367
so figuring out what happened
and why was very difficult.

346
00:24:06,533 --> 00:24:10,934
There was still an unknown
accused in the situation.

347
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,767
[Adam] Family and friends had
spread word that Delayno,

348
00:24:15,934 --> 00:24:17,033
had passed away...

349
00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:21,834
and that Davon and Jim are
both going to survive.

350
00:24:24,300 --> 00:24:26,667
We had several family members
that went up to the hospital,

351
00:24:27,867 --> 00:24:30,066
and emotions were
running very high.

352
00:24:30,233 --> 00:24:32,867
It was an active investigation,
which understandably

353
00:24:33,033 --> 00:24:34,767
became frustrating for some
of the family members.

354
00:24:40,166 --> 00:24:42,800
There's no right way to handle
the stress of that moment,

355
00:24:42,967 --> 00:24:45,467
and, of course, people are
emotional, people who are

356
00:24:45,633 --> 00:24:48,567
very angry, and very upset,
and very hurt

357
00:24:48,734 --> 00:24:49,767
and grief stricken.

358
00:25:03,700 --> 00:25:05,700
You gotta remember that

359
00:25:05,867 --> 00:25:07,967
everybody is going
through something.

360
00:25:08,133 --> 00:25:10,467
We're all grieving
in some way.

361
00:25:10,633 --> 00:25:13,300
Delayno was a huge loss
to everyone.

362
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:16,000
So it's not just you.

363
00:25:17,066 --> 00:25:19,066
Don't think you have to go
and hide in a corner

364
00:25:19,233 --> 00:25:21,100
and say, "I have to do this
by myself."

365
00:25:22,166 --> 00:25:24,667
We're here.
We love all of our family.

366
00:25:34,667 --> 00:25:36,300
Unfortunately, this is
a pretty common occurrence

367
00:25:36,467 --> 00:25:38,567
when family members
do show up to the hospital.

368
00:25:39,467 --> 00:25:41,500
They can become very emotional.

369
00:25:41,667 --> 00:25:42,800
We still have a job to do,

370
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,066
and when someone does pass away
as a homicide victim,

371
00:25:46,233 --> 00:25:47,700
we become their advocates
for them.

372
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,467
It is certainly a possibility
any time a homicide takes place

373
00:25:52,633 --> 00:25:56,000
that perhaps the accused person
in the event is not finished.

374
00:25:57,100 --> 00:25:59,467
We put precautions in place
for that.

375
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,867
When Kyvon Wells was
identified as the other person

376
00:26:08,867 --> 00:26:10,567
that was in the car,

377
00:26:10,734 --> 00:26:12,100
we were concerned.

378
00:26:12,266 --> 00:26:14,467
He was injured pretty severely.

379
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:19,900
So we started to gather
information about who he was,

380
00:26:20,867 --> 00:26:23,500
who his family was,
where they lived,

381
00:26:23,667 --> 00:26:25,600
who are his associates,
where may he be.

382
00:26:27,166 --> 00:26:29,100
That was a high priority for us.

383
00:26:31,567 --> 00:26:33,767
We knew that the group
in the car were

384
00:26:33,767 --> 00:26:35,467
in the process
of selling phones.

385
00:26:37,266 --> 00:26:39,667
We believe that the sale
of those cell phones

386
00:26:39,667 --> 00:26:42,600
may have been a result
of this particular

387
00:26:42,767 --> 00:26:44,667
robbery and shooting.

388
00:26:44,667 --> 00:26:46,166
That was a big lead for us,

389
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,367
and that's what we focused on.

390
00:26:53,467 --> 00:26:56,867
Next, I made contact
with the mall security,

391
00:26:56,867 --> 00:27:00,467
'cause they had a pretty decent
security surveillance system.

392
00:27:02,867 --> 00:27:06,100
And I was able to obtain
video footage,

393
00:27:08,567 --> 00:27:10,667
but we could not imagine
what we saw

394
00:27:12,266 --> 00:27:13,467
when we looked at the footage.

395
00:27:21,266 --> 00:27:25,266
2
We knew that there were
two cell phones involved

396
00:27:25,433 --> 00:27:29,166
in the transaction,
so that was our main focus,

397
00:27:29,333 --> 00:27:32,667
is try to find out who actually
provided those cell phones.

398
00:27:34,166 --> 00:27:36,467
Typically, we run
the surveillance footage

399
00:27:36,467 --> 00:27:39,800
back out into the parking lot
to determine

400
00:27:39,967 --> 00:27:42,400
what kind of vehicle
that subject came from

401
00:27:44,867 --> 00:27:48,400
and when they actually walked
into the main area,

402
00:27:50,867 --> 00:27:52,800
and then when they walk
back out.

403
00:27:57,166 --> 00:27:59,066
[Martha]
Looking at video footage
from the mall,

404
00:28:00,100 --> 00:28:03,200
it was nearly impossible to see
the person they met

405
00:28:03,367 --> 00:28:05,000
to actually purchase
the cell phones

406
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,367
from beyond
clothing descriptions.

407
00:28:09,367 --> 00:28:11,800
You could tell one person was
a darker complexioned person

408
00:28:11,967 --> 00:28:14,000
and one person appeared
to be white.

409
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,500
You could tell the color
of their clothing.

410
00:28:15,667 --> 00:28:17,367
You could not make
a face out enough

411
00:28:17,367 --> 00:28:19,467
to know if it was
your mom, even.

412
00:28:19,633 --> 00:28:22,400
It was very difficult to see
who that person was.

413
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:28,900
[Quincy] There's a possibility
that they could have been hiding

414
00:28:29,066 --> 00:28:30,200
from the cameras.

415
00:28:30,367 --> 00:28:33,066
We were not able to track
who actually bought

416
00:28:33,233 --> 00:28:34,333
those cell phones.

417
00:28:36,066 --> 00:28:38,500
So we shifted focus
to the one person that would

418
00:28:38,667 --> 00:28:40,867
still have the answers
to our investigation.

419
00:28:42,100 --> 00:28:43,266
And that's Kyvon Wells.

420
00:28:46,667 --> 00:28:49,800
Most people nowadays are
on social media.

421
00:28:49,967 --> 00:28:51,200
So we start there.

422
00:28:53,266 --> 00:28:57,166
In looking at social media
accounts and cell phone records

423
00:28:57,166 --> 00:28:59,266
after the fact,

424
00:28:59,266 --> 00:29:03,100
we learned that Kyvon had
a previous girlfriend

425
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:06,567
who was carrying a baby
with him,

426
00:29:06,567 --> 00:29:07,767
and we spoke with her.

427
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,900
She was cooperative,
but in the sense that she felt

428
00:29:43,066 --> 00:29:45,367
she needed to be cooperative,
but didn't necessarily

429
00:29:45,533 --> 00:29:47,066
want to be cooperative.

430
00:29:47,233 --> 00:29:50,266
She was very surprised
that the police had

431
00:29:50,266 --> 00:29:52,600
associated her with Kyvon
so quickly.

432
00:30:11,100 --> 00:30:13,667
There were definitely
questions as far as,

433
00:30:13,667 --> 00:30:16,500
did she have the motivation,
did she have the means

434
00:30:16,667 --> 00:30:18,500
to help him
get out of this area?

435
00:30:18,667 --> 00:30:22,166
Because if most of the resources
of Lansing Police Department

436
00:30:22,166 --> 00:30:25,000
are looking for you,
and you're still in the area,

437
00:30:25,166 --> 00:30:27,400
we have a really good idea
of where you are.

438
00:30:27,567 --> 00:30:29,567
And she did allow us to search
her apartment

439
00:30:29,567 --> 00:30:30,667
at that particular time.

440
00:30:30,667 --> 00:30:32,600
We did not find
any signs of him.

441
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,467
He was definitely on the run
after this incident occurred,

442
00:30:46,467 --> 00:30:50,367
and our main objective was
to secure and provide

443
00:30:50,533 --> 00:30:51,600
protection for him.

444
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,500
It was frustrating
because, as soon as we were

445
00:30:56,667 --> 00:30:59,300
able to find a lead
of where now to look,

446
00:31:01,266 --> 00:31:02,500
it disappeared.

447
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,400
[Quincy] We unfortunately run
into this situation where

448
00:31:07,567 --> 00:31:09,800
there's not a lot of movement
in the case,

449
00:31:09,967 --> 00:31:14,367
and sometimes it can stall,
but we're pretty vigilant.

450
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:19,000
In nearly a month after
Delayno Hudson, Jr.'s murder,

451
00:31:19,166 --> 00:31:20,567
we had a break in the case.

452
00:31:22,667 --> 00:31:24,767
[unsettling tones playing]

453
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,166
[Martha]
A man came into
the Lansing Police Department.

454
00:31:30,333 --> 00:31:33,500
He was definitely apprehensive
to talk with us,

455
00:31:33,667 --> 00:31:35,467
and he had information for us.

456
00:31:37,100 --> 00:31:40,266
We learned that he saw Delayno
the same day as the homicide.

457
00:32:13,266 --> 00:32:15,200
Once we started to talk
to the subject,

458
00:32:15,367 --> 00:32:17,367
there was a bombshell
that was dropped.

459
00:32:17,367 --> 00:32:18,800
[Martha] The particulars
of the cell phones

460
00:32:18,967 --> 00:32:21,467
that they sold at the mall
came to light.

461
00:32:21,467 --> 00:32:23,200
He had paid
for the cell phones,

462
00:32:23,367 --> 00:32:25,667
and he paid Kyvon at the mall.

463
00:32:42,767 --> 00:32:44,900
I believed much of what he was
saying to be true

464
00:32:45,066 --> 00:32:47,100
because, at that point,
he had mentioned

465
00:32:47,266 --> 00:32:49,667
other people by name
who I knew were close

466
00:32:49,834 --> 00:32:53,200
to Davon and Delayno,
and I didn't think

467
00:32:53,367 --> 00:32:55,867
that he would lie based
on knowing and being close

468
00:32:55,867 --> 00:32:57,266
with some of the same people.

469
00:33:07,166 --> 00:33:10,000
He did tell me
at the time of our interview

470
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,967
that he believed
Kyvon fired into the car,

471
00:33:13,133 --> 00:33:16,266
and it didn't shock him,
because Kyvon wanted the money.

472
00:33:32,467 --> 00:33:34,767
[Martha] At first, I felt
like he wasn't providing

473
00:33:34,767 --> 00:33:37,100
all of the details he may
have known at the time.

474
00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:38,667
And then, before we were
finished talking,

475
00:33:38,667 --> 00:33:40,400
I feel like he absolutely
gave us

476
00:33:40,567 --> 00:33:42,066
all of the information
that he knew.

477
00:33:43,867 --> 00:33:47,767
At this point, Kyvon Wells
went from victim to suspect,

478
00:33:47,767 --> 00:33:50,867
and there was an all out race
to locate him.

479
00:33:50,867 --> 00:33:53,967
Given his clear disregard
for others,

480
00:33:54,133 --> 00:33:57,367
he was willing to kill
a human over a cell phone

481
00:33:57,367 --> 00:34:00,100
and injure people that were
close to him.

482
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,467
[Quincy] We entered
the suspect's information

483
00:34:03,633 --> 00:34:08,467
into the national database,
and in return it was broadcasted

484
00:34:08,633 --> 00:34:10,767
throughout our city.

485
00:34:10,767 --> 00:34:13,367
Then we made an alert,
put out to the media

486
00:34:13,533 --> 00:34:16,000
that Kyvon was considered
armed and dangerous.

487
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,567
[reporter] Police tell me
the fourth person in the car

488
00:34:18,734 --> 00:34:19,734
is still missing.

489
00:34:19,900 --> 00:34:22,066
They're calling him
a person of interest.

490
00:34:22,233 --> 00:34:23,767
[reporter] Take a good look
at this man.

491
00:34:23,767 --> 00:34:25,767
Lansing police are trying
to track him down.

492
00:34:25,934 --> 00:34:28,166
20 year old Kyvon Wells
is wanted

493
00:34:28,166 --> 00:34:30,300
for the death
of Delayno Hudson.

494
00:34:30,467 --> 00:34:33,300
Two other people were
hurt by the gunfire.

495
00:34:33,467 --> 00:34:34,667
[Adam]
The public helps us quite a bit.

496
00:34:34,834 --> 00:34:35,867
Most folks here wanna help us.

497
00:34:35,867 --> 00:34:37,266
Most folks here are
great people,

498
00:34:37,433 --> 00:34:38,567
and we wanna get
these people off the street

499
00:34:38,567 --> 00:34:39,667
as soon as possible.

500
00:34:39,667 --> 00:34:41,400
So, a lot of times that could
aid our investigation.

501
00:34:43,767 --> 00:34:45,667
[Quincy] So every lead was
followed up on,

502
00:34:45,834 --> 00:34:47,867
but one lead changed everything.

503
00:34:48,033 --> 00:34:49,867
We had received
an anonymous call

504
00:34:49,867 --> 00:34:53,100
that Mr. Wells could have been
in Gulfport, Mississippi.

505
00:34:55,500 --> 00:34:57,867
And once it was determined
that he had likely

506
00:34:58,033 --> 00:34:59,700
fled the state of Michigan
to Gulfport,

507
00:34:59,867 --> 00:35:02,367
the shift kind of went
from the state police

508
00:35:02,533 --> 00:35:04,367
fugitive team looking for him.

509
00:35:04,367 --> 00:35:06,066
[Quincy] That's gonna be where
you're gonna have

510
00:35:06,233 --> 00:35:08,467
the U.S. Marshals service
involved because they're used

511
00:35:08,467 --> 00:35:10,266
to doing that
throughout the country.

512
00:35:11,767 --> 00:35:13,567
It's kind of when
the investigation

513
00:35:13,567 --> 00:35:15,867
into locating Kyvon
actually took off.

514
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,367
It certainly was unfathomable
to even speculate

515
00:35:20,533 --> 00:35:21,900
what happens next.

516
00:35:27,367 --> 00:35:29,467
2
[tense music playing]

517
00:35:30,867 --> 00:35:33,800
[Martha] Once the fugitive team
recognized that Kyvon

518
00:35:33,967 --> 00:35:36,367
had left the state of Michigan,
they reached out

519
00:35:36,367 --> 00:35:38,000
to the U.S. Marshals.

520
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,967
And then very soon after
they found him

521
00:35:40,133 --> 00:35:42,166
in Gulfport, Mississippi.

522
00:35:42,333 --> 00:35:44,166
Kyvon was arrested
without incident.

523
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,467
After several weeks on the run,
Kyvon Wells was

524
00:35:48,633 --> 00:35:50,300
in police custody.

525
00:35:50,467 --> 00:35:53,367
And all of the information was
released to the media.

526
00:35:53,533 --> 00:35:55,467
A man has been arrested
for the murder

527
00:35:55,633 --> 00:35:58,000
at Mill Pond Mobile Home Park
in South Lansing.

528
00:35:58,166 --> 00:36:01,567
Kyvon Wells was taken into
custody in Gulfport, Mississippi

529
00:36:01,734 --> 00:36:03,867
by U.S. Marshals
and local police.

530
00:36:04,033 --> 00:36:05,900
He's wanted in connection
with the shooting death

531
00:36:06,066 --> 00:36:08,867
of 24 year old Delayno Hudson
on March 1st.

532
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,867
I don't like to say it was
like a pat on the back

533
00:36:11,867 --> 00:36:14,300
because that feels callous,
but it was definitely

534
00:36:14,467 --> 00:36:16,900
like I had done my job
and got to the point

535
00:36:17,066 --> 00:36:19,867
that the person
who perpetrated this crime

536
00:36:19,867 --> 00:36:22,467
was at least in custody.

537
00:36:22,467 --> 00:36:24,800
Not that that's the end
of the road, but it's certainly

538
00:36:24,967 --> 00:36:29,867
the beginning of a family
getting a little bit of justice

539
00:36:29,867 --> 00:36:31,100
for their family members.

540
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,867
Once Kyvon Wells was
back in the Lansing area,

541
00:36:36,033 --> 00:36:37,800
he was interviewed.

542
00:36:39,066 --> 00:36:42,100
[Quincy] When you have suspects
that have been on the run

543
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:46,266
for a long time, and they're
a little cocky and brash,

544
00:36:46,266 --> 00:36:50,367
you have to approach them
in a way that's firm,

545
00:36:51,667 --> 00:36:54,767
but yet you need
to solicit information.

546
00:37:13,467 --> 00:37:18,000
And then we're gonna go easy
into whatever we're doing.

547
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,567
We want to put them
in the place

548
00:37:21,567 --> 00:37:24,166
that the crime occurred,
and then go from there.

549
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:34,667
Once we began a conversation,
it was obvious that Kyvon

550
00:37:34,667 --> 00:37:36,400
didn't want to talk to me.

551
00:37:36,567 --> 00:37:38,367
He was abrasive in every answer.

552
00:37:38,533 --> 00:37:41,300
He was short in the very
limited information

553
00:37:41,467 --> 00:37:42,467
he did share.

554
00:37:42,633 --> 00:37:44,600
He challenged everything
that was said to him

555
00:37:44,767 --> 00:37:46,200
in that interview.

556
00:37:46,367 --> 00:37:48,600
Things as simple as,
"Where do you live?

557
00:37:48,767 --> 00:37:50,100
What is your birth date?"

558
00:37:50,100 --> 00:37:51,700
were met with nothing but --

559
00:37:53,166 --> 00:37:54,266
attitude?

560
00:38:04,367 --> 00:38:06,200
When you have
combative suspects,

561
00:38:06,367 --> 00:38:09,467
you just have to go hard,
and then you just have to hope

562
00:38:09,633 --> 00:38:11,166
that you can break through.

563
00:38:12,266 --> 00:38:13,467
That's a big win.

564
00:38:38,967 --> 00:38:41,700
Kyvon never changed
his facial expressions.

565
00:38:41,867 --> 00:38:45,500
He never showed any emotion
outside of anger.

566
00:38:45,667 --> 00:38:49,467
He never appeared to be
remorseful in anything

567
00:38:49,633 --> 00:38:50,767
that's taken place.

568
00:38:59,700 --> 00:39:01,300
Throughout my time
as a detective,

569
00:39:01,467 --> 00:39:03,266
specifically being
a homicide detective,

570
00:39:03,266 --> 00:39:05,667
I often question humanity.

571
00:39:05,834 --> 00:39:07,967
And in moments like this,
there's no good reason.

572
00:39:08,133 --> 00:39:09,367
There's no why.

573
00:39:09,533 --> 00:39:12,367
There's nothing that makes
sense as to why

574
00:39:12,533 --> 00:39:14,567
this incident took place.

575
00:39:14,567 --> 00:39:16,667
It just doesn't make sense.

576
00:39:17,667 --> 00:39:18,667
It's just disgusting.

577
00:39:18,834 --> 00:39:20,300
[inhales deeply]

578
00:39:20,467 --> 00:39:23,967
I believe Kyvon Wells shot
all three of these people

579
00:39:24,133 --> 00:39:27,767
over greed and a few hundred
dollars' worth of cell phones.

580
00:39:33,266 --> 00:39:36,667
We were able to obtain his DNA
pursuant to the search warrant,

581
00:39:36,667 --> 00:39:39,867
and it was confirmed
that Kyvon Wells' DNA was

582
00:39:40,033 --> 00:39:41,000
within the car.

583
00:39:44,467 --> 00:39:46,000
But no gun was ever located.

584
00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:49,467
I imagine that the gun
quickly disappeared

585
00:39:49,633 --> 00:39:51,567
shortly after the homicide
took place.

586
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,500
On November 21st of 2021,
Kyvon Wells pled guilty

587
00:39:56,667 --> 00:39:57,900
to second degree murder,

588
00:39:58,066 --> 00:40:00,166
the killing
of Delayno Hudson, Jr.

589
00:40:00,333 --> 00:40:04,567
Kyvon Wells was sentenced
to 28 and a half years in prison

590
00:40:04,567 --> 00:40:08,100
as a minimum and 64 years
as the maximum sentence

591
00:40:08,266 --> 00:40:09,266
for this crime.

592
00:40:11,266 --> 00:40:13,400
-[soft, nostalgic
-piano music playing]

593
00:40:14,467 --> 00:40:16,467
[Martha] For me, this case was
a challenge

594
00:40:16,633 --> 00:40:19,767
because Delayno Hudson looks
so similar

595
00:40:19,934 --> 00:40:22,000
to one of my family members,

596
00:40:22,166 --> 00:40:24,266
a person I love.

597
00:40:24,433 --> 00:40:29,300
It was a challenge for me
to separate that at times.

598
00:40:29,467 --> 00:40:33,800
I easily could see my own
family in those situations,

599
00:40:33,967 --> 00:40:37,900
just based on the emotional
trauma they were dealing with.

600
00:40:41,266 --> 00:40:44,166
[Tacara] What do I miss most
about Delayno?

601
00:40:44,166 --> 00:40:45,300
Everything.

602
00:40:46,367 --> 00:40:49,600
I miss his smile.
I miss his laughter.

603
00:40:49,767 --> 00:40:51,567
I miss how he looks
like my grandmother.

604
00:40:51,734 --> 00:40:54,367
Like, if you seen them two
together, you would think

605
00:40:54,367 --> 00:40:56,967
they were literally twins.

606
00:40:57,133 --> 00:41:00,967
The -- same eyes,
same nose, everything.

607
00:41:01,133 --> 00:41:05,667
Like -- he --
I miss everything about him.

608
00:41:05,834 --> 00:41:10,867
He was an amazing person,
and being able to know him

609
00:41:11,033 --> 00:41:13,166
and being able
to see him grow from birth

610
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,300
was...

611
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,667
nothing short than special.

612
00:41:19,667 --> 00:41:22,700
Delayno Hudson, Jr.,
you are missed,

613
00:41:22,867 --> 00:41:23,900
[voice breaking] you are loved,

614
00:41:26,367 --> 00:41:29,800
and I wish you could be here
with us today.
