[ominous music]
[slow horn music]
[partygoer laughing]
[slow horn music continues]
[tense music]
- [Operator] Okay
[tense music]
- [Woman] One, two, don't move him, three...
[tense music]
- [Man] [groaning]
[tense music]
[vehicle bleep]
- [Man] It looks like he's not breathing.
[indistinct radio chatter]
[tense pensive music]
- We have a male declared deceased.
It's in the 3100 block of St. Roch.
Apparently it's an area, where there's a club nearby.
It sounds like, no one's left on scene that was there.
Let's go see what we got.
[door thuds]
[tense pensive music]
When I arrived on scene,
homicide sections that are working overnight
had already made the scene.
Sergeant Constantine, Arthur Hill, and Maurice Stewart.
Scene's completely calmed down from when it happened.
[tense music]
The body's in the neutral ground
in the grassy area between the sides of the street,
quite a distance from any of the buildings
on either the northbound or southbound side of the street.
So we had what, five wounds?
- [Detective] Two in the back.
- [Det. Herman] It looks like none of 'em
were through-and-throughs.
There's no exit, there's no blood on the ground.
- [Officer] The girls that I talked to are gone.
They already said who he was.
- [Det. Herman] Hayward.
The person deceased was Brandon Hayward.
[pensive music]
Brandon is from New Orleans.
He's in his early thirties.
[pensive music]
- That is the name of someone
who says they may have some information
but didn't want to talk to us out here.
[pensive music]
- [Det. Herman] I learned that, there was a witness
who was there at the time of the incident.
[pensive music]
She's no longer on scene,
so I'm not gonna be able to talk to her now.
But the fact that this person gave information
to an officer to pass to me,
so that I can contact her later is a good sign.
- [Det.] I spoke with someone else who knew the victim.
She said she drove out here with the victim.
What she said was they arrived at the club.
She backed in, like, just past the tape.
They backed in on the neutral ground.
He told her for some reason
to "go ahead and walk in before me."
And I asked her "why did he tell her that?"
She said "she don't know."
So, she left him sitting in the passenger seat of the car.
She goes around to the club, goes inside, gets a drink,
he's still outside.
And then all of a sudden she came out
and she saw them fanning him.
It looks like he got out of the car
and was back here for some reason.
I asked her if he was beefing with someone.
She said "no," of course. [pensive music]
So, I mean that's pretty much all we have.
I do have a phone number,
and the address and everything for the girl.
- [Det. Herman] Maurice told me that
he had spoke to somebody else
that supposedly arrived with the victim
in a dark blue Toyota Camry,
but she was inside the bar when the shooting happened.
So there's two witnesses that I'll have to speak to later.
[pensive music]
All right ladies, do you know this guy?
- [Det. Herman] What's his name?
- [Witness] I don't know his real name, right?
- [Det. Herman] Well that's okay.
- [Det. Herman] He go by Twin?
- [Witness] Mmm-hmm.
- [Det. Herman] Okay.
that's where everyone was,
right before they came here?
- [Witness] Mmm-hmm.
- [Det. Herman] Okay. [pensive music]
- [Det. Herman] The witnesses told me that they were
at another bar
with the victim, right before they came over here
and they gave me that address.
It's very important
that we do some follow up with that address.
Thank you. - [Witness] Alright.
[pensive music]
- [Det. Herman] I'm hoping to get some video from the club.
It looked like some decent cameras on the outside of that.
I'll just write warrants rip it, and rip everything.
We'll come back tomorrow.
- [Det. Herman] There were no shell casings near the body.
Clearly he fell, not where he was shot.
He probably ran a little bit. [pensive music]
Finding casings are important
because we can track what gun fired what casings.
If you get casings,
ultimately later you can find a murder weapon
and you can positively match the murder weapon to the scene.
So I called the K-9 officers, asked them to come down,
got the ballistics dog out.
They started sweeping the area.
[pensive music]
[detector beeping] [pensive music]
- [Det. Herman] You find a couple,
you know lunch is on me, right?
[detector beeping] [pensive music]
C'mon man.
[pensive music]
Ultimately we found no casings.
-[Det. Herman] You think it's a revolver?
- [Det.] It'll be be a revolver, yeah.
- Because they're not through and through.
I was thinking rifle, 'cause they were small holes.
- There was one that was through and through,
like the shoulder.
I think that was through, 'cause they were close though.
- [Det. Herman] The shooter probably was using a revolver,
which wouldn't eject any shell casings.
Generally, revolvers fire projectiles that are lead.
So they're softer, they're more likely to deform on impact.
So, they generally stay inside the body.
- No phone out here?
- [Officer] Anything else of note in his pockets?
- [Officer] Yeah.
- Get a picture of that. - Yeah, that'll be important.
- [Det. Herman] In the victim's pocket,
the coroner found a receipt
from a seafood restaurant in the east, from that same day.
- [Det. Herman] I'll take a look at it.
- So, he may be with somebody,
it could stem from a fight he had at the seafood restaurant.
You never know. [tense music]
So, we're gonna go there tomorrow
and get that video footage, see if he's with anybody.
Right now, I don't have a lot to go on.
I also need to contact the two witnesses that were out here
and I'm hoping that some of the businesses in that area,
caught the incident on camera.
- So I think like nine o'clock tomorrow morning,
I'm just gonna start hit the ground running.
So, we'll see.
[tense music]
Thanks for coming out.
[tense music]
[dramatic music]
[traffic whooshing] [pensive music]
[phone rings] - Hello?
- Hello, I'm looking for Miss Charlotte Hayward.
This is Detective Herman with New Orleans Police Department.
- [Charlotte] Yes?
- I would like to sit down with you
face-to-face at some point,
just so you can see me
and we can talk about whatever you need to talk about,
if there's any news I can give you.
- [Charlotte] Okay.
- It's important to reach out
to the family members of the victim,
and let them know that you're on the case,
and that you're there for them,
but also give them enough space to grieve.
She told me that he has a twin brother.
They've been involved in making music
since they were very young.
Brandon has children, he has a lot of family members,
and I can't begin to imagine the depths of their despair.
He's gonna be missed. [gentle music]
This is my cell phone just for families and witnesses.
At your convenience, when you feel up to it,
you call me back on this number,
and I will come over and just talk to you, okay?
- Okay. - Alright, thank you ma'am.
[phone dings]
[ominous music]
- [Det. Herman] This was in my decedent's pocket.
It's from a seafood restaurant
from three o'clock that afternoon.
Bought some boiled potatoes.
[ominous music]
- Yeah.
- [Det. Marshall] Okay, I'll ride with you over there.
- [Det. Herman] Alright.
- [Det. Marshall] I don't want you
to have to do anything by yourself.
- [Det. Herman] That's why I love you.
[tense music]
- [Det. Marshall] Tell me the gist of what happened.
- [Det. Herman] Apparently there was a party,
so there's a bunch of people parked in neutral ground.
There was some commotion, shots fired.
The DJ makes the announcement,
everybody go home the party's over.
So then everybody scatters.
He's on the ground, he's got no phone.
- [Det. Marshall] Oh wow.
[tense music]
Hello, I'm Detective Marshall.
This is Detective Herman, New Orleans police homicide.
We was wondering if your cameras were working.
We were trying to see if a vehicle and a person
came to this location on yesterday.
- [Det. Herman] About three o'clock yesterday.
- [Shop Owner] Okay.
- I spoke to somebody who said that, yes,
they have video footage on the times I needed.
- Yeah. [pensive music]
My victim, Brandon Hayward does arrive.
He's in a dark-colored Toyota Camry
that matched a description of the car
that he arrived to the party in.
[pensive music]
He goes inside, he orders his boiled potatoes,
they give it to him, gets back in the car and he leaves,
which appears to be the car
and that the witness brought him to this party in,
moments before he was killed.
Thank you very much for your help, sir.
My victim, he's driving a dark-colored Toyota Camry,
It's probably a witness's vehicle
that he arrived to the party in.
So, I need to speak to this witness and find that car.
- [Det. Marshall] Yeah. [tense music]
- - [Det. Herman] Finding the vehicle is important,
because you never know what kind of evidence
can be in that car.
His cell phone, sometimes vehicle's navigation systems
will show where he was earlier that day.
We're going to find out what happened.
We're gonna get justice for Brandon,
as quick as we can. [tense music]
[traffic whooshing]
[gentle music]
[pensive music]
[vehicle beeping] [pensive music]
- [Det. Herman Once you ready to go,
we're just gonna follow you up.
You go when you're ready, all right?
- [Tow Operator] Alright.
[lever whirring]
- [Det. Herman] Through an intelligence source,
I found out this car was parked
behind this building over here.
There's a bullet hole in it,
and it's the same car that I have the victim in on video
at a seafood place earlier in the day before he was killed.
We ran the plate, and the car's registered to the witness
that Detective Stewart spoke to at the crime scene
who had said, that she had arrived at the club
with the victim.
- What she said was they arrived at the club.
He told her for some reason,
to "go ahead and walk in before me."
And I asked her "why did he tell her that?"
She said, "she don't know."
- I am going to call her
as soon as this car is put into the cage.
I need her to come to headquarters
and explain to me what happened that night
from her perspective.
And then I can ask her where her car is,
and see what she has to say about that.
And then I can search it,
and hopefully get the projectile out of it.
Hopefully it's not too badly tore up.
Maybe if I find a murder weapon
at some point in the future, match it up.
[pensive music]
[vehicle beeping]
[phone ringing]
- [Witness] Hello.
- [Det. Herman] This is Detective Herman
New Orleans, police department.
Is this [bleep]?
- Hey, I would like to sit down with you
face-to-face at some point.
You think you want to come down to the building
and talk to me,
so I could get get your statement
for the for the night?
- [Witness] Yeah, so the address?
- [Det. Herman] I'll send you a text with the address.
When you get out front and you park,
you gimme a call back,
and I'll come down and let you in the building.
How long do you think, you'd be able to come over now?
- All right, thank you.
- [Det. Herman] The witness is coming in,
but she's very hesitant.
We're hoping she actually shows up
and lets us know what she saw,
and any other information
that might be valuable to the investigation.
[wind whooshing]
[pensive music]
- [Det. Herman] The witness, she's very forthcoming.
She tells me things that I already knew to be true,
which is good, because then I know she wants to help.
The next step is to ask her about the vehicle.
She doesn't know we've already found it.
So, her answers will be very telling
to determine if she's being honest in this interview or not.
- [Det. Herman] Don't go pick it up today, I have it.
So all I need from you really is the keys,
so that I don't have to break into it.
I'm gonna search it, see if his phone is in there.
I'm gonna see if I can find the bullet itself in your car.
- [Det. Herman] If you hear anything,
please just pass on any information to me.
[pensive music]
- [Det. Herman] The witness was truthful about the car,
so it leads me to believe
that everything else about her statements were true.
Unfortunately, the witness was inside the club
when the shooting happened,
and she was not able to add any additional information.
So I'm hoping that the car will have some evidence
that can point us in the right direction,
to find out who killed Brandon Hayward.
[Det. Herman sighs]
[light horn music]
[light horn music continues]
[liquid tinkling]
[pensive music]
The bullet and the victim's phone might be in there.
- [Det. Herman] Brandon Hayward, supposedly arrived in this car
the night he was killed.
I have video of him in that car
and there's a bullet hole in the car.
The big thing is, to see if I can recover the projectile,
match it to the projectiles they pulled out of his body.
Did it come in through? [camera snaps]
[cover cracking]
- [Det. Herman] Oh careful.
[pensive music]
I don't see--
- [Technician] There it is.
- [Det. Herman] All the way down behind that speaker,
it looks like.
- [Technician] Winning.
- [Officer] Winner winner chicken dinner.
[pensive music]
- [Det. Herman] Crime Lab was able to recover
the bullet that went through the door.
That'll go to ballistics,
and we'll see if it matches the other projectiles
we found in the decedent.
Now, we need to find the decedent's cell phone.
[pensive music]
[camera snaps]
- [Det. Herman] Look at you.
[pensive music]
- Another phone. [camera snaps]
[pensive music]
Oh. [pensive music]
Bingo bango.
[pensive music]
There's phones everywhere.
[pensive music]
Holy, [bleep] that one's destroyed.
That's definitely not his working phone.
[pensive music]
I'll take all of them.
[pensive music]
We found five cell phones in the car.
We'll work on trying to get digital forensics
to get into them.
I'm hoping one of them is Brandon's,
[tense music]
because right now, the evidence is thin.
[tense music]
[traffic whooshing]
[tense music]
- [Det. Herman] A second witness on scene gave her name
and phone number,
subtly to one of the officers who got it to me.
- That is the name of someone
who says they may have some information,
but didn't want to talk to us out here.
[tense music]
- She claims to have been standing there,
knows what happened, why the shooting happened,
possibly saw the perpetrator.
So we're on our way to the 5th district police station
where we're gonna see what she knows.
So fingers crossed, that this all works out.
We need some good luck here.
[tense music]
[door thuds]
[tense music]
- Yeah, that'd work.
[bleep]
[tense music]
- [Det. Herman] Okay.
- [Witness] So, uh...
- [Det. Herman] Uh-huh
- [Witness] Like, uh...
I didn't see it.
- [Det. Herman] Okay.
[tense music]
[ominous music]
[tense music]
- Alright. [tense music]
- [Det. Herman] This particular witness
knew everything.
She was able to identify the alleged perpetrator
as Erick Garrison.
Everything she described was correct,
based on what we had on the scene.
The way she spoke about him,
and her mannerisms, and her demeanor overall,
there's no reason to disbelieve anything she says.
- Okay, that's fine. - Does that make sense?
[tense music]
- Okay, thank you. - No problem.
[door thuds]
- [Det. Herman] Hey, I need a confirmation photo.
Erick Garrison, about 32 years old.
[witness sobbing]
[somber music]
- Did she the hairstyle--
- How old is that photo? [tense music]
- [Det. Herman] One of the detectives in the 5th district
was able to run the name for me.
Find someone reasonably the right age, with that name,
able to get a driver's license photo.
[tense music]
He got a criminal history? - Yeah.
- [Det. Herman] In this particular instance,
there's no reason to do a six pack lineup.
She said she knew this person for a while.
So, we showed her a single, driver's license photo.
[door thuds]
- [Witness] Mm-hmm
- [Det. Herman] All right, take a look at that.
- [Det. Herman] Okay.
[tense music]
- [Det. Herman] My witness, she identified the shooter.
She said, his name is Erick Garrison.
I don't know where he is.
She said he was homeless.
She said that he's called a couple times
from a number, that says, you know, private caller.
So he's blocking his own phone number.
I gave his name to the FBI task force,
so they can maybe put eyes on him
and if they're able to put eyes on him,
as soon as I have a judge's signature on the warrant,
they'll be able to just scoop him up.
[tense music]
[phone ringing]
Hey, this is Detective Herman.
- [Det. Herman] Hey, [bleep]
- [Eyewitness] Hey.
- [Det. Herman] Is he communicating via text message?
- [Det. Herman] He keeps telling you to meet?
- [Det. Herman] Okay.
You're gonna get a call from one of our social workers.
They're gonna have some information for you,
and if you wanna get outta town, they can help you do that.
- [Det. Herman] And I'll be in contact with you again.
- All right, bye.
[tense music]
- [Det. Herman] It's important to get this perpetrator
off the street as soon as we can,
because that's a real threat to her safety.
Especially if he thinks
the witness ID'd him as the shooter.
Right now, I need to see if I can find any video
of actually the incident occurring,
or of the perpetrator fleeing to help strengthen the case.
[tense music]
[bleep]
- [Det. Herman] Yes ma'am, this is Detective Herman,
New Orleans police department.
- [Speaker] Yes?
- You know there was an incident
in the [bleep] block of St. Roch, on early?
- [Det. Herman] Yeah, I authored a search warrant
this morning for video surveillance.
Do you have video surveillance equipment at the building?
- Okay.
What's the website that you use?
[bleep]
If you wanna just tell me the name and password,
and I'll see if I can get it done.
[bleep]
Okay, I'll see if I can get that done,
and I'll either tell you that I got it already,
or that I'm coming to meet you.
- [Speaker] Okay.
Thank you so much.
Alright, bye.
[tense music]
I am gonna try to see if I can log into this website,
and see the camera footage.
[tense music]
- [Detective] That's cool they gave you remote access.
- [Det. Herman] Yeah, I just want video of the incident.
It'd be great if we had the whole thing capture on camera.
Well, I got my fingers crossed.
[tense music]
All right.
[tense music]
- [Det. Herman] I know roughly about what time
the call came in,
so I know exactly at what time to look.
And I was at the scene so I know exactly
where the body was found, so I know exactly where to look.
There's glare, son of a bitch.
[tense music]
It is gonna happen right here where I can't see, ah!
[tense music]
[bleep]
Literally, it's on camera,
but there's a glare from the light outside.
So I'm not gonna be able to see it happen.
- [Detective] Yeah. Yeah, that would've been too easy, bro.
[tense music]
- [Det. Herman] Oh, come on.
[tense music]
- [Det Herman] It doesn't appear I'm gonna get anything extra.
That's disappointing.
[tense music]
- Let me see? - Check this out.
[tense music]
But this is after it happened,
and they're starting to clear out.
She turns the lights off.
Wait, watch this.
This is what it looks like at the time it happens.
- [Detective] The glare, yeah.
- [Det. Herman] Right after it happens,
they're shutting the place down, everybody's leaving,
and then she clicks the lights off and look, you can see.
- [Detective] Of course.
- [Det. Herman] It's clear as day
when she turns the lights off.
- [Detective] You think they were gonna make it
easy for you?
- [Det. Herman] Yeah. [tense music]
There you go.
[tense music]
No [bleep] [tense music]
- [Det. Herman] There's some video from another angle,
that shows right after the shooting.
It's a person running, wearing what the witness said.
The shooter was wearing a white shirt.
But it's not clear enough to identify this person.
[tense music]
I can't see nothing but a blur running.
[sighs] Of course.
[tense music]
[traffic whooshing] [tense music]
- [Det. Herman] Okay, I need your advice
- [Det. Fyfe] What's happening?
- There's a bar,
some girl's having her birthday party out there
and my victim, he's in the car.
The victim sees the witness, he gave her a hug,
they talk, it seems like the shooter,
there might be some jealousy there.
And he got out the car and got mad about it.
- Okay.
- They exchange words, shooter goes back to his car,
grabs a gun, comes back out, and just shoots him.
- [Det. Fyfe] All right, so there's some escalation there.
- Yeah.
- [Det. Herman] Detective Fyfe is one of the best detectives
that I've had the experience of working with.
I regularly go to him,
to make sure that I am not getting tunnel vision
in my pursuit of a suspect,
to make sure I'm seeing all the angles
as clearly as possible.
So, I speak to him,
making sure that I have enough probable cause now,
to write an arrest warrant for Erick Garrison.
- [Det. Fyfe] So just a good witness statement?
- [Det. Herman] Yeah, she explained
exactly how it went down.
- Okay, so she's got details
of the scene, right?
- [Det. Herman] Details of the scene.
She did the confirmation photo, no problem.
And then, he started calling the witness,
apparently a bunch of times. [tense music]
So that's sort of where I'm at.
- [Det Fyfe] Do you have video?
- [Det. Herman] I got surveillance footage.
There's a guy in all white, running past the camera,
which is the direction she said he ran.
- Okay. - And it's the timing's right.
- But the strength of the case is gonna be,
defending her statement. - [Det. Herman] Yeah.
- And so any little thing might help.
- [Det. Herman] Yeah.
I think you're good for a arrest warrant dude.
If he's out and about,
that's more time to convince her to change her story.
I think you know what you gotta do.
- [Det. Herman] Yeah, I'll write an arrest warrant.
- It's good to talk it out though.
[tense music]
- [Det. Herman] I have probable cause.
So, I'm able to write an arrest warrant
for Erick Garrison, for murder.
[tense music]
[traffic whooshing] [tense music]
- [Det. Herman] I got a call this morning.
Apparently last night,
Erick Garrison started calling the witness a bunch of times.
So, the officers went out.
[tense music]
- [Det. Herman] He actually calls her again,
while the officer's standing there.
[tense music]
- [Witness] Hello?
- So, this morning I put together a BOLO,
to get his face on the news, which we hadn't done earlier.
Sometimes it's easier for us to find him
if he doesn't know he's wanted.
He might be doing his regular stuff.
The bail offender warrant squad,
task force with the US Marshals,
they're all actively out there now,
trying to find this guy
before he actually makes good on any of those threats.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Yep.
[tense music]
All right, good.
Where was he, where'd you find him?
[tense music]
In Dallas?
Did he have anything on him?
A gun or phone, anything? [tense music]
Thank you, do me a favor.
Send me a picture of what he looks like now, in custody.
[tense music]
Okay, thank you very much.
Alright, bye.
[tense music]
The US Marshals did their job,
and coordinated actually with Dallas, Texas.
They were able to get GPS locations for his phone
at a Greyhound station.
They took him into custody in Dallas, Texas just now.
And,
that's him, in the back of a police car.
[tense music]
No gun though.
When he's finally extradited here, I'll try to talk to him.
So I'm gonna call the mom
and let her know that he's in handcuffs.
[phone ringing] [tense music]
- Hello. - Hey, Miss Charlotte?
- Yes. - Just giving you a call back
so I can give you a proper update.
So, the gentleman was arrested this morning
in Dallas, Texas, at a Greyhound station.
- [Charlotte] Okay.
- And that's sort of where we stand.
Do you have anything that you can think of
that you wanted to ask me?
- No, not right now. - Alright.
- I can't think of right now. - Okay.
Well, anything you need, this is my number.
You reach out to me if any family members,
if anyone wants to ask me any questions about the case,
you just give them my number.
- Okay. - All right.
- Thank you. - No problem, bye.
[phone dings]
This is the witness, I'll call her next.
[phone ringing]
- [Witness] Hello?
- [Det. Herman] Hey, [bleep] this is Detective Herman.
- [Witness] How you doing?
- So, he's in custody.
He was arrested outta state.
[tense music]
- He's calling you from jail?
[tense music]
- At the beginning of the phone call,
it'll say, you know, this is a call from an inmate
and everything's recorded.
There should be an option if you listen to the whole thing
to prevent that inmate from calling you,
if that's something you want to do.
[tense music]
- [Det. Herman] He'll be sent back to New Orleans
in the next week or two and then we'll start the process
of the criminal case against him here.
- Okay. - Bye.
- [Witness] Bye.
[tense music]
- [Det. Herman] Clearing the case
and getting an arrest warrant is a relief.
You get to give somebody the start of their closure,
like, this is the person
that's wanted for killing your loved one.
But that's the beginning of the work,
because now we have to take it to court.
So, I still have a lot of work ahead of me.
[tense music]
[upbeat music]
[blues music]
[dramatic music]
- [Det. Fyfe] Hey. - What's happening?
- [Det. Herman] The firearms report came back.
The bullets they recovered
from inside my decedent on autopsy,
and the bullet we pulled out of that car,
were fired from the same gun.
[tense music]
It's a .38 caliber class ammunition,
which includes .38 special, .357 Magnum, and nine-millimeter.
They won't be able to tell you
exactly what type of gun it was fired from,
but the type of projectiles recovered from the body
of the decedent are consistent with a revolver.
And then, the suspect called the witness from jail.
21 phone calls he makes the day he's arrested,
all to her.
- That's your witness? - This is my witness.
From jail, he's talking to her about how much she loves her
and that, if you love me, you wouldn't wanna see me in jail.
- It's kind of frantic.
- [Det. Herman] Yeah, listen to this.
- [Det. Fyfe] I mean, that's usable, right?
- Yeah, it's showing that he's trying to manipulate her.
At one point he says,
"I love you so much, you love me too, yeah?
Well, then we should get married,
'cause if you marry me,
they can't make you say anything bad about me."
- [Det. Fyfe] How romantic.
If they got married,
that's not like a workaround for--
- No, people watch too much TV.
Legal-knowledge comes from "Law & Order."
He's in custody, so, we'll see how it goes in court.

- My name is Charlotte Marie Hayward.
I am Brandon's mother. [gentle music]
All of my kids had their own special gifts.
But, Brandon drew, logos, he did tattoo drawings.
He had his first art show, he was about five.
- That's my twin.
That's my better half, my heart.
We split seeds so,
being a twin is like,
having a better half that pushes you,
it helps you, not make the bad decisions in life.
- Our angel. - What's up, right?
- Over there.
That is nice.
- It would be him to be our guardian angel,
because he just can't take anyone else having to do that.
[charlotte sighs]
- One of the most important things for me as a parent was
to allow them to feel safe, and loved, and to be themselves.
They became musicians right off the bat.
I want to say, maybe fourth-grade, third-grade.
They were already in Jazz Fest.
- Yeah. - You know, it's a big honor
to be a musician in Jazz Fest.
- Like he plays the piano by ear.
He plays the guitar,
he play every instrument that I can name.
Like a harmonica, everything.
So it's just, it's crazy, man.
[somber music]
- The things that Brandon would do,
were always about togetherness, love, forgiveness,
family, things like that, so...
Wherever he went, he definitely made a mark.
[gentle music]
He made a difference.

[tense music]
- [Det. Herman] Brandon Hayward was killed for no reason.
He had children.
Now his family has to take care of his kids.
His parents don't get to see him get married one day.
He misses everything, and that's tragic.
[pensive music]
There was no reason for a shooting to happen.
For whatever perceived slight,
Erick Garrison thought he incurred,
it didn't need to end in violence.
But case is resolved and Mr. Garrison is in jail.
By the time Erick Garrison
was extradited back in the New Orleans,
he had a lawyer and they weren't gonna give me a statement.
So I never spoke directly with the suspect,
and we never found the weapon.
