narrator: Atlanta's notorious club scene
is rocked by a brutal slaying.
[gunshot]
- One gunshot wound through her left eye.
[gunshot]
One gunshot wound to her torso.
[gunshot]
- I go, "Murdered?
You gotta be kidding me."
narrator: And detectives discover
this isn't the first murder
tied to a DJ at this iconic club.
- A masked man shot him right in his driveway.
[gunshot]
narrator: Investigators must determine
if the victims were caught in the crossfire
of an ongoing feud...
- People would pay any amount of money
to get the song played.
But they can flip at any point in time.
- Cell phone location data put him in the neighborhood
at the time leading up to the murder.
narrator: Or if the killer's motive was personal.
- They had gone on vacations together.
He was in their wedding.
- He was a psychopath.
Cold, calculating. Just a killer.

narrator: Atlanta's iconic club scene
has dominated its nightlife for decades
and is responsible for setting music trends
all over the world.
- Well, the hip-hop scene in Atlanta
was very big in 2014,
especially in the club scene.
- The strip club culture in the ATL is...
it's like a rite of passage.
You'll see the most elite people,
the biggest stars that you can imagine.
You can run into them
at any given night at the strip club.
narrator: At the epicenter of these infamous nightclubs
are the DJs.
- Being a DJ meant a lot
because you gonna make some good money
and you gonna meet every celebrity.
- If the strip club DJ could make you dance to a song,
then it was absolute gold.
And you would have every unknown and known celebrity
trying to get at them
just so they could get their record played.
They were the radio.
Truly, the power was in their hands.
* *
narrator: But in the early morning hours
of November 23, 2014...
[line ringing]
narrator: A 911 call comes in
that brings the turntables to a screeching halt.
- When the 911 call was made a little bit after 6:00
by Andre Pugh, he was in the driveway
and was saying that his wife had been killed
inside the home.
- Andre Pugh worked as a DJ
at a strip club in metro Atlanta called Onyx.
He reported that he came home. He went inside.
He found his wife unresponsive.
And then he went outside
and waited for police to arrive.
The responding officers
conducted what's called a protective sweep
of the house,
checking for potential intruders,
making sure that the house is safe to enter.
Most disturbingly, they went into a guest bedroom
on the main floor of the house
where they located the victim in bed.
[camera shutter snaps]
narrator: The victim is 30-year-old
Tiffany Jackson Pugh.
Tiffany has been brutally shot through the head
and is pronounced dead.
- But on top of Tiffany
were Andre and Tiffany's three-year-old son.
[camera shutter snaps]
- He was hitting on his mommy
and--and trying to wake her up.
And it was just heartbreaking
knowing that this little boy and little girl,
who was upstairs, would not be able to have
their mother in their life anymore.
[indistinct police radio chatter]
- When I arrived on the scene,
Mr. Pugh was advised
that his wife was indeed deceased.
He was able to get the two-year-old
and other children out of the home.
He was crying, and he did appear distraught.
- I woke up to several missed calls from Andre.
And when I called him back, first thing he said
when he answered the phone, he said,
"Tamika, go to the house. go to the house,"
and asked me to go and pick up the kids.
narrator: Police try to comfort
the devastated husband
as detectives notify the rest of Tiffany's family.
* *
- Early Sunday morning,
my phone rang, and it was Andre's brother.
He said, "I got some bad news
that you might want to sit down."
He said, "Well, Tiffany was murdered last night."
I go, "Murdered? You gotta be kidding me."
Well, Tiffany was born in Rochester, New York.
The firstborn with my wife, Patricia Jackson.
Tiffany was a great young lady.
After growing up, she applied at Clark Atlanta University,
was accepted.
She was adamant about coming to Atlanta.
There was just more to offer here
far as she was concerned.
- Tiffany graduated college,
got her dream job at Delta.
- Delta's probably one of the largest corporations
in the city.
It's a staple in the Atlanta community.
- If you secure a top job with them,
then you're really makin' a great living for yourself.
- Her dream was mainly to be successful.
She had just gotten promoted.
So she was on a pretty good career path.
- Tiffany was very well-liked within Delta Airlines
and was really pegged as one of those young women--
the one to watch.
narrator: Tiffany's personal life
is taking off as well
when she falls for Andre Pugh,
who has been making a name for himself
in the Atlanta club scene as DJ Awesome.
- She introduced us to Andre.
He was a DJ at one of the clubs.
He seemed like a good young man.
They got married back in 2009.
- He was a cool, positive person,
very energetic, always cracking jokes.
Always having fun.
- Tiffany and Andre were growing a family.
First baby was a girl.
The second one would be a boy.
Tiffany loved being a mother.
She loved being a wife.
Just to--to see them grow was very exciting.
narrator: They soon settle into family life
in the quaint Atlanta suburb of East Point.
- There's a big Delta community in East Point.
They bought the Lake Haven Way house.
It was a nice, large house.
- A very nice neighborhood.
Brand-new houses.
Her neighborhood was very family-oriented
and very safe.
narrator: Which makes Tiffany's brutal murder
all the more shocking to her community.
- The environment at work at Delta Airlines,
I gotta tell you, was very sad.
It was a lot of tears.
You couldn't believe it.
- Tiffany had one gunshot wound through her left eye,
one gunshot wound to her torso,
and then there was a third gunshot
that had gone into the wall.
- I notice nothing in shambles at the home.
And she appeared to be asleep
at the time of her being killed.
narrator: As the medical examiner
arrives on scene,
they determine Tiffany's time of death
was just minutes before police arrived.
They then discover a vital detail
about her murder.
- One of the big pieces of evidence
is what's called stippling around the bullet wound.
It'll burn the skin.
The gunshot to Ms. Jackson Pugh's face
was very close range.
So that did tell us a lot.
If it's an accidental shooting,
there's never any stippling.
When it's within two feet,
it's--it's on purpose.
We brought in metal detectors,
but no shell casings were found.
- There was one bullet found right by her neck.
And we sent that to the Georgia Bureau
of Investigations for them to test.
- I can't even imagine the type of person
that would do this.
But I initially think psychopath.
No conscience.
Cold, calculating.
Just a killer.
[gunshots]
narrator: After examining the body in the bedroom,
investigators turn their attention
to the rest of the house.
- Downstairs, in a back room,
we located a window that had been open
and the screen had been cut
and the blinds were disheveled.
It initially appeared to be the point of entry
into the home by the suspect.
* *
- Immediately, police were assuming
that maybe this was a burglary,
but as they began to process the scene
and look at the house,
they realized that nothing had been taken.
- Nothing seemed to be destroyed in the home.
Nothing seemed to be out of place.
TVs weren't ripped from the walls.
My thought was home invasion,
but of course, I couldn't get by head around
why nothing was taken.
- All the person did that broke into the house
was go straight to Tiffany's room,
shoot her, and then leave.
narrator: Forensic technicians
dust the house for prints and swab for DNA
but come up empty.
But as detectives make their way
through the crime scene,
something catches their attention
that could give them the answers they need.
- As I was walking through the home,
I did notice a surveillance system
with several cameras throughout the home,
inside and out.
- They had a number of different angles.
The front, the back...
the side of the home,
as well as inside of the home.
- I did check and see if they were recording,
and it did appear that they were.
My thought was
maybe in that surveillance video
we're able to see the perpetrator
or perpetrators in front of the cameras.
We really needed to look at those videos.
* *
There was a DJ that had been murdered
a few months prior.
- It was obvious it wasn't a robbery.
It was an ambush.
- They were both shot in the head.
They both had a connection with Club Onyx
and, quite frankly, Andre Pugh.
* *
music] * *
narrator: After Tiffany Jackson Pugh
is viciously executed in her sleep,
investigators thoroughly scour her East Point home...
* *
And discover security cameras are everywhere.
Detectives immediately view the footage
in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the killer.
- There were several cameras that captured different angles.
So hopefully it clearly captured someone.
narrator: Police scrubbed through the surveillance video
for any activity that may have been captured
during the murder.
- There was a camera outside of Tiffany's room.
- But in reviewing the footage,
the perpetrator never went in front of any of the cameras.
Otherwise, there's not a whole lot of evidence
that we found on the camera.
narrator: It's a major letdown for investigators.
So detectives leave the house
and canvass the neighborhood for witnesses.
[tense music]
* *
- The police went and canvassed the area.
Two houses down, there was a neighbor
who had a surveillance system.
- So at 4:45,
we see a black car circling the block.
Then at 5:45, we see on surveillance video
the same black car circling the block.
And then we see a third time
it stays in front of their home
for a period of time.
And that time frame all matched up
that the alarm goes off.
And that's when the murder occurred.
- The surveillance footage was actually pretty critical.
It captured the vehicle parking
just past the driveway.
Then it didn't capture
any individual get out of the car,
but it did clearly capture someone moving,
because there are motion lights in the back.
So you can see a motion light come on.
- We could not get any identifying information
about that car
because the surveillance video didn't pick up a tag.
And the person driving the car was smart enough
to drive past the house
so we could not zoom in on the tag.
But the black car's very distinctive
because the driver's side light is out.
narrator: Detectives turn to the person
closest to Tiffany, her husband, Andre,
for more information.
- Once the police on the scene sort of got the--
the picture of what had happened,
they asked Andre if he would come
to the East Point Police Department
and give a statement,
and he agreed to do that.
- When I got there, he was already at the station.
And Officer Cooper told me,
"Guy's been cryin' the whole time."
narrator: After he composes himself,
Andre walks investigators through what happened
the night his wife was murdered.
- He was a willing, cooperating, grieving husband.
narrator: Andre tells detectives
he never expected the love of his life
would be taken from him so suddenly.
- Mm-hmm.
narrator: Andre claims he was working at Club Onyx
the night Tiffany was killed,
so detectives head to the club to confirm his story.
- When I went up to interview the Club Onyx management,
they confirmed that Andre Pugh was working on that night.
narrator: As investigators turn to leave,
Andre's manager confides
that this is not the first murder
Club Onyx has been involved in.
- The Club Onyx management did mention to me
that there was a DJ
that had been murdered a few months prior.
[gunshots]
That was DJ Nando,
who was a very prominent Atlanta DJ.
narrator: It's a coincidence too big for police to ignore.
[phone rings]
- I started looking at parallels
between the two cases.
I reached out to detectives in Clayton County
where the incident occurred,
and I got a copy of the case file.
In looking at the connections--
both shot in the head,
they both have connections to Club Onyx
and, quite frankly, Andre Pugh.
There was a possibility
that DJs and their families may have been targeted,
and we felt that we really needed
to look further into that.
* *
While investigating the shooting death
of 30-year-old Tiffany Jackson Pugh,
police learned that her husband's coworker
DJ Nando, a fellow DJ at Club Onyx,
had been similarly murdered...
[gunshot] Just a few months earlier.
As investigators delve
into the assassination of DJ Nando,
Tiffany's family lay her to rest.
[birds chirping]
- Tiffany's funeral was that Saturday.
And Andre had some input,
but he let me make a lot of the decisions
that he could not bring himself to.
narrator: As friends and family
support Tiffany's grieving husband,
the community of East Point
reels from the shocking death of the wife
of this beloved and prominent Atlanta power couple.
- In the industry, people were absolutely shocked
that Tiffany was murdered.
To hear that someone was able to take her life
while she was sleeping was just...
Horrible.
- Tiffany's funeral, it was a beautiful service.
Coworkers from Delta Airlines showed up with amazing support.
* *
- There was a lot of emotions in the church.
I think there were a lot of mixed emotions.
'Cause at the time, you know, there was no arrest made
or any suspects named.
- My whole family's been changed.
We have a great loss,
one that we'll never get-- we'll never get over.
* *
- This case was one of those cases
that I didn't go home
to my wife and my kids for several nights,
several days...
to make sure that we solved this
and that we brought closure to this family.
narrator: As the community mourns
this beloved young mother,
investigators dive into the case
to see if Tiffany's killing
was related to the murder of one of Andre's fellow DJs.
- A gunman shot and killed DJ Nando
earlier this year,
and so far no one has found DJ Nando's killer.
- He got out of his car,
and a masked man came up and shot him...
[gunshot]
Right in his driveway.
- People didn't realize Nando's status.
He was a legend to the DJ world.
[dramatic music]
* *
- DJ Nando truly became a staple DJ in this city.
He broke a whole lot of records.
At Club Onyx, he developed his own night
and brought in plenty of money and plenty of people.
- When Nando was murdered,
it made a lot of DJs nervous.
People didn't know why he was murdered.
[gunshot]
- Maybe somebody just tried to rob him on a whim.
But he still had his jewelry on him.
There was money that was still there.
So it was obvious it wasn't a robbery.
It was an ambush.
[camera shutter snapping]
It was a hit.
[gunshot]
- After getting the information
from Club Onyx,
we did find out that DJ Nando
was a prominent DJ at Club Onyx
and people pay him so that they can either go big
or get record deals.
So a lot of money is exchanging hands.
- People would pay any amount of money
to get the song played.
But if you don't fulfill their want
for spending their money,
they can flip at any point in time.
You gotta look over your shoulder 24/7.
- Could it have been a-- an up-and-coming rapper
that Nando didn't like his music
and said, "I'm not playing it"?
Could it have been that?
narrator: As investigators search for parallels
between the two cases,
they grow increasingly frustrated
as the connections fail to materialize.
- But going through the case file,
I didn't see anything that stood out
to determine that DJs were being targeted.
At this point,
there's just not enough evidence
to connect the DJ Nando case to this case.
narrator: Andre's workplace, Club Onyx,
appears to be a dead end.
So detectives switch gears
and focus on Tiffany's workplace,
Delta Airlines.
Can Tiffany's coworkers help provide answers
as to who would have wanted to kill her?
* *
- When we first interviewed Tiffany's coworkers,
it was obvious that she was a wonderful human being.
She didn't have any enemies whatsoever.
- She was so busy being a good mom
and trying to further her career.
Tiffany just did not have any enemies.
narrator: Although it appeared
Tiffany was living a charmed life,
investigators are shocked when they uncover
a startling reality.
- According to her friends,
she did have marital problems.
- Her friends said
Tiffany wanted to start divorce proceedings.
She was, at the point where she got murdered,
was ready to divorce him and leave him
and move on with her life.
narrator: To investigators, this surprising revelation
that Tiffany and Andre's marriage was collapsing
did not add up with the fairy-tale picture
Andre had described to detectives.
Why would Andre lie to police?
What else was he hiding?
- That will get yourself added to the suspect list.
And that's what we did with Andre Pugh.
[dramatic music]
* *
[tense music]
narrator: East Point detectives
are investigating the death of Tiffany Jackson Pugh,
who was executed while sleeping in her home.
After interviewing Tiffany's coworkers at Delta Airlines,
investigators have learned
her marriage to Atlanta DJ Andre Pugh
may not have been rock-solid.
- During the course of our investigation,
we did interview the employees
that worked with Ms. Jackson Pugh.
And one of them, he did mention to us
that the marriage that Tiffany had with Andre
wasn't as good a marriage
as it may have seemed from the outside.
- There were times that she wouldn't agree
with some of his behavior
and how he spoke to her
or how he may have reacted
to something as simple as leaving something out.
- Tiffany was very quiet,
but she did begin to talk about that
as our relationship grew.
Nothing specific,
but just that she had some-- some tough decisions to make
for her and her children.
- There were some things going on between her and Andre
and she was ready to go.
She was done with him.
narrator: As they gather more information
on Pugh's rocky relationship,
detectives decide to go to the source
and bring Andre back in for questioning
about his marriage.
- They asked Andre about the depth and the scope
of their pending divorce.
He claimed to investigators
that they were a young couple, they had problems,
and he was trying to work it out.
narrator: Despite his denial,
the lies and inconsistencies in Andre's story
are piling up,
and investigators are growing
more and more suspicious of him.
- I went ahead and secured a search warrant
on his cell phone number
and then went out to Mr. Pugh's home
and was able to retrieve that cell phone from him.
narrator: As they review Andre's cell phone,
detectives are stunned to uncover the truth
about the Pughs' seemingly perfect relationship.
- Andre had been telling us over and over again
that the marriage was like any other marriage.
But then when you start looking
into the text messages,
nothing could be farther from the truth.
It became very obvious
that what Mr. Pugh told us about the marriage
was inconsistent with the conversations
that he was having with Tiffany.
- The main text thread that was most illuminating
was with his wife, Tiffany.
He was kind of begging her not to leave him.
Parallel to this conversation with his wife,
he's having conversations
with at least seven, eight different women--
sexting, exchanging lewd photographs,
having rendezvous for sexual encounters,
soliciting prostitutes while Tiffany's out of town.
- I kept sayin', "I don't wanna believe that,"
but infidelity was huge in the marriage.
He was so disrespectful,
he would bring women to the house.
Unfortunately, it was just who he was.
Not a very good person.
- He had to have ladies around him all the time.
- Her friends and colleagues,
there were mixed views
'cause only her close friends
knew some of the details about the marriage.
* *
narrator: Suspicions against Andre are mounting
as investigators decide to dive into
the couple's financial records
to search for a possible motive.
- There's so much money available in the strip clubs.
But as far as I'm concerned,
Andre never had a poppin' night at a club
that he built on his own.
He was definitely trying to climb his way to the top.
- When Tiffany was gonna move out,
Andre was trying to figure out how he could switch
the mortgage into his name.
But the bank wouldn't do it
because he didn't have credit.
He was not going to be able to keep the--
the house that they had on Lake Haven Way.
And he was very proud of the house.
To him it was a status symbol.
So the motive became clear that is was financial.
narrator: With Andre's motive now crystal clear,
detectives move him to the top of the suspect list.
But they know he couldn't have pulled the trigger.
- In reviewing that cell phone location,
it confirmed the alibi
that Andre Pugh was working on that night
and that he didn't commit the murder.
But then who would have killed her?
[gunshot]
I was able to determine
that minutes before the murder,
Andre was speaking to someone.
- He was in their wedding.
And he was a pallbearer of Tiffany's.
- He had a parking light out on his car
which matched some surveillance video
that we had gotten from a neighbor of Tiffany's.
[gunshot]
* *
uspenseful music] narrator: East Point detectives
are convinced Andre Pugh was involved
in the death of his wife, Tiffany.
Investigators have now started to analyze
Andre's call records to see who he spoke to
in the moments leading up to the murder.
- In reviewing the cell phone records,
I was able to determine
that minutes before the murder,
Andre was speaking to someone in his contacts list
named Adrian Harley.
In doing a investigative search of Adrian,
we determined he was Andre's best friend.
That was the start of us looking into Adrian Harley.
* *
- Once Andre got the DJ job,
he is the one that brought Adrian on
and kind of got Adrian a job at the club.
He kind of rode on Andre's coattails.
- Adrian Harley was DJ Awesome's money man.
He maintains the money for DJ Awesome.
- Adrian and Andre were very good friends.
They had gone on vacations together.
Adrian was in their wedding.
And he was a pallbearer of Tiffany's.
* *
- Once I got information about Adrian,
I made a phone call to him,
said, "I'm investigating this case.
"Just wanted to talk to you
about your whereabouts that night."
And he was very cordial and said, "Okay."
narrator: Detectives head to Harley's house
to question him about the night of the murder.
- And I walked up to Mr. Harley,
introduced myself.
Seemed cordial at the time.
I asked him about his whereabouts.
He gave me several locations
of where he was in Atlanta,
at different clubs after Club Onyx.
And he said he had his cell phone with him
the whole night.
At one point I asked
Adrian Harley for his cell phone,
as I had a search warrant,
and the conversation went downhill from there.
- He became combative, noncooperative,
began to yell, which only further
aroused their suspicions.
- It was bad, the conversation that we had,
but that didn't give me quite enough
to secure an arrest warrant,
so he was released from the scene.
* *
Our next steps
after interviewing Adrian Harley
was that I looked at his alibi.
narrator: Suspicious that Harley is lying
about his whereabouts when Tiffany was killed,
the team traces his cell phone location.
- Adrian Harley's cell phone location data
put him on the block in the neighborhood
at the time leading up to the murder.
- His cell phone records didn't match up
to where he said he was,
which means he was lyin'.
* *
narrator: Investigators feel confident
that they have what they need to secure a search warrant
for Harley's vehicle.
- We got search warrants,
and I looked at Mr. Harley's car.
And he had a parking light out on his car
which matched some surveillance video
that we had gotten from a neighbor of Tiffany's.
narrator: With this new evidence in hand,
detectives now believe they can piece together
the events that led to Tiffany's killing.
- The key evidence for me was Andre's cell phone,
which really told the whole story.
The only way that he could keep that lifestyle
is that if he had Tiffany killed
and the property would pass to him.
He couldn't be the one to actually pull the trigger,
so he solicited his friend to come do it.
Andre wasn't the one
who directly committed the crime,
but he was in communication with Adrian Harley.
And the cell phone tower put Adrian Harley
in the area at the time of the murder.
And his vehicle appeared to be the same vehicle
on the video surveillance from the night of.
[dramatic music]
* *
Once they sort of started putting those pieces together,
it became clear that Andre Pugh
was the suspect for orchestrating the murder,
and Adrian Harley was the suspect
for actually perpetrating the murder.
narrator: Police now have what they need
to charge the two men.
On December 5, 2014,
Andre Pugh and Adrian Harley are arrested at Club Onyx.
- We did know that they were both working
at Club Onyx that night.
I met with Atlanta Police Department's
Fugitive Squad.
And we waited on the club to close.
And we were able to arrest Andre Pugh and Adrian Harley.
[phone buzzing]
- The police called to tell me about the arrest.
I was happy that they had--
first of all, they'd made an arrest.
I was sad that these two guys were involved
with the whole thing.
You know, I should have been angry.
But I couldn't-- I was trying to figure out
why would-- he would go that route
and destroy your life and my daughter's life.
Why would you do that?
And the children's life.
- I just could not believe that the man--
the father of her children, her husband,
would do this.
I didn't realize how serious it was
until she was dead.
narrator: Now Andre is back
at the East Point Police Department,
this time as an alleged killer.
- The police interrogated Andre.
It was a long process.
narrator: Andre insists
he played no role in murdering his wife.
But he says Harley made a damning confession
just a few hours before they were brought in.
- He said that the night he was arrested,
Adrian Harley had come to the DJ booth
and confessed to him
that he was the one that murdered Tiffany.
- Andre told police
that Tiffany owed Adrian some money,
that that's why Adrian had murdered her.
- Mm-hmm.
narrator: Andre then lays out a timeline
for the night of the murder.
narrator: But Andre's story isn't adding up.
- There was no evidence
that Tiffany owed Adrian money.
There's no evidence that Tiffany would need
any money from Adrian.
The interpretation of that was that was Andre's response
to thinking that he had been caught
and really just trying to throw his friend Adrian
under the bus.
- Andre Pugh struck me as psychopath/narcissist,
where you think you're the smartest person
in the room,
that you can keep talking
and they're gonna believe everything you say.
narrator: With Andre denying
any involvement in his wife's murder,
detectives press Harley
to tell them what really happened.
- Some of Andre's story didn't add up.
So now law enforcement
wanted to interview Adrian Harley.
* *
*
narrator: In December of 2014,
Andre Pugh and Adrian Harley were arrested
for the murder of Andre's wife,
Tiffany Jackson Pugh.
Andre has just told police that Adrian
is solely responsible for the murder.
Now detectives are interviewing Harley
to hear his side of the story.
- And so went to go interview him,
but Adrian did not make a statement to police
when he was arrested.
- Okay.
- He invoked his right to counsel.
And so that was his statement.
* *
narrator: Both men are charged with murder
and plead not guilty.
But in a shocking turn of events,
the judge grants bail for both accused murderers.
- When I found out they would be
on the streets free, it was upsetting,
because I felt like the system had failed Tiffany.
- How could you release someone
that's accused of being a murderer?
I never thought these guys
could be out as long as it was.
- Anytime you have a case like this,
where you have a true innocent victim,
you've got small children
who have been devastated by this,
there's a lot of pressure to get it right.
narrator: Finally, in September 2018,
Andre Pugh goes on trial first
for the murder of his wife, Tiffany.
* *
- Sitting there, processing all the information
that all of the forensic experts
and all those folks were going through--
where the shots, you know, entered her body
and where they exited,
and what actually killed her--
that was pretty, uh-- pretty traumatic,
but I was able to get through it.
- The case went to the jury,
and after about a few hours,
they returned a guilty verdict on all charges...
[gavel bangs]
And Mr. Pugh was sentenced to life
without the opportunity of parole.
- I cried.
I was relieved.
We knew that Andre was put away,
which he deserved to be.
But I knew there was still work
that needed to be done to get Adrian convicted.
narrator: Buy Tiffany's loved ones
would have to wait four more years
until Adrian Harley is finally brought to trial.
- Her family had already been through it once,
and it had been so long.
The mood was,
"Thank you for getting us to this place.
Let's try to get to the other side of closure."
My primary focus was putting Adrian Harley
on the scene of the crime.
And not only do we have his phone puts him there,
but the surveillance video puts his black car there

narrator: On October 18, 2022,
Harley is found guilty on all counts.
He is sentenced to life in prison
without the possibility of parole.
- Well, nobody really wins in this--in this case.
You know, everyone loses.
The kids lose their father, you know?
They lose a mother.
Mr. Jackson lost his daughter.
No one wins, right?
narrator: After waiting for justice
for nearly eight years,
Tiffany's family can finally put the focus
back on celebrating her life.
- Delta Airlines honored Tiffany Jackson Pugh's legacy
through a scholarship for Clark Atlanta University.
We wanted her children to know their mother,
although she was a victim.
But she did great things.
- Tiffany was a great daughter
that I miss, you know, obviously, every day.
And the world should know
that she loved her community.
She loved Atlanta.
She loved her children, her family.
We'll never get over it
no matter what somebody tells you you might.
You'll look back and smile,
but you'll also cry.
