Oh, there's boxes up here that don't quite look the same. >> You lifted them up, but I think there's something underneath. >> It's a what? That's heavy. That is dude >> Large vehicles crossing state lines carry all kinds of freight, but what happens when officers pull over a truck and what they find hidden inside turns out to be far more troubling than anticipated. >> 100% fake. >> They are glued together too. >> I catch up to him and he starts drinking water while he's in that wall next to him. >> He's just very nervous. >> These were the moments when cops made horrifying discoveries in large vehicles. We begin with a case where officers responded to a shooting at a gas station, but what they discovered on the scene would turn out to be far more alarming than the call itself. >> Hey, he has a loaded gun here. He's got a gun? >> Yeah. >> He's unconscious. He's not breathing. >> We only heard the gunshots, honey. >> And then the house playing the game we heard the gunshots and then we was like, okay, he's deceased, you know. >> Stop, stop, stop. He's dying. Put it in the clutch. Shut his lights off. [ __ ] him, he's a [ __ ] now. >> On August 17th, 2024, officers from Akron, Ohio responded to reports of a shooting at a gas station on East Avenue. When officers arrived, what they found inside that U-Haul truck challenged everything they thought they understood about the crime. >> Where? Who the [ __ ] is that? >> Come on. Get out of here. Out of the car. >> 17 >> We need lots of units here. Go back to the car. >> it. >> Got a D A chassis, yo. >> Darren Jacks, a 54-year-old, was found in need of immediate medical attention. But, what they didn't realize in those first critical moments was just how severe his injuries really were. >> Where's your medkit? Is it in the back? >> Yeah, it's in the back. >> Hey, man, you still with us? >> As paramedics worked frantically to stabilize the victim, one officer discovered something that only deepened the mystery, a detail that would change everything about this case. >> Hey, he has a loaded gun here. >> He's got a gun? >> Yeah. >> In their initial attempts, officers detected a pulse. There was hope, a brief window where it seemed like they might actually save this man's life. Little did they know that hope was about to slip away faster than they could ever anticipate. >> Hey. >> 17 >> I believe he's twice in the side. >> Yeah. >> No famous. Two gun wounds under the left armpit. >> As minutes passed, the victim's body began to shut down. What had started as a race against time was now a losing battle, and everyone on the scene knew it. >> He's unconscious. Not breathing. >> You got any exit? >> Any exit? >> I didn't check yet. >> Something just applied at 01. >> All right, before you get your gloves on, can you go back and secure the perimeter? >> Not seeing any exit. >> Hey. >> Does he still have a pulse? >> He's breathing. >> 17 is male, still breathing. >> Right now. Stay with us, all right. >> Come on. >> Hey. Stay with us, man. You're okay. Come on. >> Here, put him on his side. >> to put you on your side. >> Get his leg up. >> What wrong with that? Just see what's coming off. >> It's right here, right there. >> Got a >> Can someone with gloves hold this up? >> Thank you. >> When the victim was pronounced dead, the scene transformed into a homicide investigation. As officers canvassed the neighborhood, one detail emerged that pointed toward a possible motive, but it was only the beginning. >> Hey guys, start talking to those people up on the porch, see if they saw anything. There's people with a camera over there. Follow over there, see if he saw anything. There's right here, all the people on the porch right here. >> All right, we'll head we'll go up and down. >> All right, cool. >> Hi. >> Hi. >> I was in the house, so all that all we heard was the gun. We just came out. >> We just heard the gun. >> Did there happen to be anyone Did there happen to be anyone else Did there else inside? >> My son. >> He wasn't out here, either. >> He wasn't out here. >> Okay. >> All right. >> We only heard the gun. >> Okay. >> In the house. >> Playing the game, we heard the gun. We was like, "Okay, it's a stab, you know." >> You know that was from >> popped out >> Yeah. >> It was really close, so I opened the window, and then that's when I seen that cop car, and that's when Officer Timmy came out, and the rest happened after. >> So, you think like the cop car is right where it's at right now? >> Yeah. I I seen the I seen the lights through the window. >> And we didn't see nothing else. >> Okay, do you happen to have any cameras or anything? >> No. >> On your Okay, what's your address? >> 2208 >> That house? >> I think she got cameras. >> 2208 East Ave. >> 2208 >> I heard you guys are for cameras, and then that way you guys can check them when you need to. >> I have no idea about that. I'm not sure what you're talking about for that one. Did you guys happen to see anything? Like was there anybody out here or you just heard the commotion? >> I just heard. I heard two pops. >> That came from the gas station with the garage door here and then pop pop. He heard it turn in the distance. I came out and I'm like it has to be right here. >> Did you see what other car was in? >> I didn't know anything. >> Did you guys have I see you guys like the video Do you have >> We took them down because they're >> Okay. >> my down. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> All right. >> I need to apply for that. >> I saw you got Tony right.

I came up here started asking around asking people stuff so I couldn't tell you. All right. There's There's been a lot of [ __ ] around in the general area. It's It is It is what it is around here I guess. I don't know. >> They think they get security back there cuz that kept the riff raff down a lot. >> What the Dutch's? Oh that security guard? That guy? >> those guys. I mean they caused problems but they kept the riff raff down out. >> Yeah. Oh really? >> Uh his name is uh Um he's black and >> What one? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> He sells drugs too. He sells heroin. >> Yeah. No, I mean I I I'm familiar with that house. I'm sure everybody is. I just don't work over this district I very often. >> We want to clean that up here. >> I agree with you. >> Neighbors in this but we're all nice to each other. It's the transients that we have a hard time with. >> Yeah. No, I I I get it. >> We came outside and we see one car cornered a dude on the ground dead. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> All right. All right. You guys have any cameras that face that way? >> No. >> All of them are facing that way. >> Okay. I got you. I got you. I got you. >> At this point, the gas station was the only hope left for the answers. But when officers arrived inside to find the manager, they discovered a problem. At the same time, a homeless man sitting on the floor started making strange comments. He spoke as if he already knew where this was heading. >> So, stop stop stop. He's starting to put it in the clip. He lost his nuts up. Yeah, he's off. No. Let's go get No, he's all right now. >> No, he's not. Do you have access to the cameras? >> The security cam? >> Do you all I don't know how long you've been here. Did you guys see anything? >> I mean >> I've seen you knocking on his window and then he came in here and that's it. >> What did he say? >> But you didn't see anything that happened out there as far as >> No, just you guys knocking on his window. >> Okay. >> Did he get away or what happened? >> Uh that's what we're trying to find out. Oh, this is Officer Barnes, Beck Police Department. How are you doing? All right. What What What exactly did you guys see? You said somebody was knocking on on what window? >> The cop was knocking on the >> Oh yeah, when we when we first walked up here, he walked up and said Peter or something like that. >> He said what? >> He said Jeremy or Peter. And then he rolled his window down and I just gave him the ear and so I said to >> DJ >> and Joe I heard until that vehicle came right up front and I was talking back there when it happened. [ __ ] >> And then that's when everybody heard the horn go off. >> Uh to speak with our detective or our crime scene unit about getting those getting those videos. Oh, you have a flight in 2 hours? Uh all right. Okay, are you are you the only manager that has access to the cameras? Okay, and then well, when are you returning? >> As officers prepared to leave the station, the homeless man's behavior shifted. Something about him didn't add up and that instinct would prove to be the breakthrough the officers needed. >> Take me to the county. >> No, take me to the county. >> Listen, listen, listen. We don't We don't want to take you to the county. >> I'm not worried about the county. When I wake up, I want to be in cell 10. >> We understand that. It It looks like you It looks like you saw what happened, okay? So, we just want to talk to you about whatever you saw. All >> Yeah. >> Okay. Can you do that for us?

They'll talk to you. That'll be all right. So, if you just just come back over >> I ain't testifying, [ __ ] >> Wherever you want to sit, man. But just sit somewhere somewhere here. >> 25, 29, 25, 22, 16, >> Hey, let me ask you something real quick. Would you feel more comfortable if we if you just want to sit in the back of a car? Not under arrest, nothing like that. You just sit in the back of a car. >> Yeah. >> You got the air on. You're sitting there. Stop, man. >> I'm up front. >> Just stay stay Don't go inside that tape. Just stay over here. Where are you staying at? Where are you from? >> West side. >> The west side of Akron? >> 839 Orlando Avenue. >> They call it the Oak Block? >> Mighty Oak Block.

God damn it. >> You want 15? >> When the CCTV footage loaded, it revealed everything. The homeless man approaching Darian Jackson's vehicle, a brief interaction that turned violent in seconds, and two shots fired at close range. The case was now solid. >> We got to strip him. >> I ain't got to do all that now. >> Go ahead and step up to the wall, Mr. Jackson. >> Yes, sir. Just cuff me, man. Mhm. >> In the end, the suspect pleaded not guilty and claimed he was acting in self-defense during the [music] incident. Despite the surveillance footage showing the suspect as the aggressor, he was sentenced to just 5 years in prison. Next, a case where officers pulled over a truck for erratic driving, and a routine traffic stop quickly took [music] an unexpected turn. What was discovered hidden inside wooden boards at the back left them absolutely stunned. >> 13 of these boards says it'll be a lot. >> Your hands behind your head, you're under arrest. Lean forward. >> Did you get it? >> Excuse me. Okay, we'll talk about it here in just a minute, okay? >> On November 2nd, 2022, officers in Columbus, Ohio, pulled over a truck on the highway to check a simple traffic violation. But from the moment officers approached the vehicle, something about the driver's behavior told them there was far more going on than just careless driving. >> How are you today? Uh I just stopped and noticed when you changed lanes behind that semi, you're probably less than a car length away when you start to make that lane change. It's a a little bit too, uh, you know, too close. Uh, you probably couldn't fit one of these trucks between you when you're when you're making the lane change. Where are you coming from? >> Uh, Phoenix. >> Phoenix? Uh, where are you trying to get to? >> Uh, >> Columbus? What's What's in Columbus? >> Huh? >> What What takes you to Columbus? >> Uh, uh, new, uh, job >> New what? >> New job offer. >> A job offer? Okay.

I message >> What's that? >> Let me uh take a message from >> You don't have to text him. I'll just check it out. Let me check this. >> Oh yeah, it's >> See if you can see if you can find it, okay? >> The driver, identified as 25-year-old Sebastian Alisco Flores, had no clear answers when asked about his plans in Columbus. And as the officer continued pressing him for details, Flores's body language began to shift in ways that were hard to ignore. He's coming from Phoenix. He's got a Mexican license. License he gave me a picture of it. He's going to Columbus. Construction or truck driving. Okay. But he doesn't have a place set up. He's going to stay in a hotel. He doesn't have a job set up yet. And he's like very vague. Like he's like something like that. He doesn't really >> Does he speak in English? >> Yeah. Dressed real nice. When he come by, he's drinking a bottle of water. And then when I catch up to him, he starts drinking water while he's not while I'm next to him. Like he's just very nervous. You know what I mean? Like every time I'm near him, he goes by. Um Trying to run his license through myself. >> Who is this? >> I'm going to have you walk it. Do you want him out? Is he by himself? I'll have him step out. Give me just a second. Uh let me uh let me run this license number. So he's saying it's for or you just I said you have all your in here, yeah? So, he's going to meet his cousin or something.

You don't You don't tell me, don't tell me, but it's just if I if I get some suspicion, then yeah, I'm I'm going to look a little further and make sure it's nothing you know, inappropriate.

I don't know what I've heard the name of it. It's like a >> Psycho? >> Yeah, that's it. Yeah. >> That is it? >> Have a seat there in the back. >> When the officer explained he would need to conduct a more thorough inspection, Flores had no choice but to let them search the truck. But, as they moved toward the back, something caught their attention. >> And this here I thought was kind of suspicious. Like you're you're going for a truck driving job, but you put all that on there while you tell me your story. It's just kind of >> Construction? >> Construction stuff? >> Maybe. >> Huh? You asked me why. I said, "Well, you're making this long trip, but you don't have really any no finalized plans. Like you're It's just you're very vague.

They're glued together too, huh? >> Flores was placed under arrest for possession of suspected illegal narcotics. As the officers continued their search, the scope of the operation became apparent. What officers thought was a routine delivery of construction materials turned out to be far more sinister. >> You got it? What is it? It feels like I don't know open it just a minute. There. That's glue. It's definitely been filled in. Smell it? Smells like paint. >> No. >> I think it's maybe it's thinner. >> I show 4331.

Take this. >> There's 13 of these boards, so >> This should to a lot. >> Inside the truck, officers recovered brand new clothes, hats, and glasses. Items suggesting Flores was prepared for a complete identity change. His calm demeanor made it clear he had expected this outcome. And when officers pressed him for answers, his silence spoke volumes about just how deep this operation really went. >> hands behind your head. You're under arrest. Lean forward. >> Is there anything loaded in there? >> What's that? >> No. >> Uh you're under arrest right now, okay? We have some uh suspicion of illegal narcotics in the back. Uh you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before we ask any questions and have them present with you during questioning. If you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you prior to any questioning if you so desire. Do you understand that? >> Yeah. >> Can you say yes or no? >> Yes. >> Okay, step out here.

And he got I catch up to him. I did. >> Uh that's That's great. I think we got it. >> During questioning, officers discovered something crucial. Floris wasn't the mastermind behind this operation. He told officers of the grave outcome he might have to face if he continued the journey. >> We check check his phone see if it's on. Turn it off. Turn it off. Turn it off. >> It's a new iPhone brother like you have. No. And we're not doing anything such. Where's the bag? In the side. Yes. It's going to come. Yeah, it's me too.

Good job. >> They get it pretty well. >> Oh, yeah. >> I'll lift something up while I'm right here. Let me get something behind it there. Help me dog. Oh, [ __ ] All right. That's my fault. >> In the end, Sebastian Flores was detained and charged with possession of over 220 lb of cocaine. Next, a case where officers pulled over a truck for speeding with tinted windows. What started as a routine stop quickly revealed a carefully constructed lie about auto parts. [music] One that concealed a smuggling operation far more serious than anyone could have anticipated. >> So, you have nothing in the trailer? >> No. >> What do you have a seal on? >> Just put the seal on. That's it. There's no load. >> Oh. >> Hey, I see kilos. Kilos. >> Yep. >> Uh, okay. >> Oh, he's he locked in there, right? >> On January 9th, 2022, officers initiated a traffic stop on a truck speeding with heavily tinted windows. The driver's explanation seemed simple enough at first, but the moment started asking questions, something felt off. >> Try to keep it under 65, all right? >> I did. >> You were going 70 there in the left lane, all right? >> I was trying to get you uh past by. Hold on a second. >> So, this is your truck? >> Company truck, yeah. >> Oh, so you drive for these guys? >> Yes, sir. >> You got a registration? >> Yes, sir. >> How long you been driving for these guys? >> Uh, just not long. >> You got anybody else in there? >> Yes, sir. >> Can I see the back? >> Yeah, go ahead.

I'm going to a repair shop. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Going to Ringway. >> So, you have nothing in the trailer? >> No. >> What do you have a seal on it? >> Just put the seal on. That's it. >> But there's no load? >> No. Because, you know, somebody was messing with my trailer. >> Oh, what happened? >> They They unhooked the bolt. >> Okay. Did they put something in there? >> No. >> Okay. >> Yeah, I just put it, you know, so they won't open it. >> At this point, Vikram's explanation about his route was raising more questions than answers. When the officer pressed further, his responses indicated that this stop was far from routine. I'm going to go ahead and do an inspection. Do you mind coming back here with me, sir? >> Yes, sir. Sure. >> Just come on this side. Yes, sir. What are you doing? >> What are you doing? >> Huh? >> Why are you locking the truck? >> I'm not locking. >> I'm just getting the keys so I can get it locked. >> Yeah, I don't want it locked. >> I don't want >> I see you pulled uh another truck over there. >> Sure did. >> Yeah. >> That's my job. >> That's That's what they took off right there. >> So, some driver took took this bolt off. >> Uh-huh. >> So, my trailer was down and I was having problems. >> So, that's what you're looking for? >> No, I already I already got that fixed. >> So, what part is it again? >> Yeah, it's for the engine. >> The seal? >> No. >> Okay. >> It's a It's a gasket. >> Let me see the front. But there's no load in there? >> I don't need to hold that for you if you want. That's cold. You want to give me some money, man? I don't have enough for me, man. I got to keep what I what I got. >> How long were you down in Texas? >> Like a day. >> And they couldn't find you a load down there? >> They called back. >> At least pay for the fuel? >> I mean, they they paid.

The driver's paperwork seemed in order and his story appeared straightforward. >> Hey, sir. Hey, how are you? You mind popping the door open? Hey, how are you doing? Good, man.

Do you have anything to reseal your trailer after? >> Uh what's that? >> Do you have anything to reseal your trailer after? >> I have company seals. >> You have company seals? >> Yeah. >> Would you give us consent to check the back of your trailer? >> Yeah, I give you a consent. >> You give us consent? >> Yeah. >> Okay.

It's nice. >> Okay. >> Tucked behind the legitimate cargo were two brown paper-wrapped packages, heavy, concealed, and weighing far more than any bus part should.

I mean, like I said there's like gaps where you can get to like here. This is open, but like >> Were those all Were those open? >> Those, yeah, we did. Oh, I think only looked in these.

Yeah, they didn't want to get past that. >> Oh, really? >> During interrogation, the driver maintained that he knew nothing about the packages, claiming he had simply picked up a load in Chicago and was delivering it to Canada. But the evidence told a different story, and his explanations for his stops and movements were systematically falling apart. >> What time are you supposed to be back in Canada? >> Uh, today? >> Today? >> Yeah, like tonight. The delivery is on the 8:00 a.m. >> The clock? >> Yeah. It was like I was 6 km, just like 300 miles. I would have to drive. >> You have to have a seat in your car. >> Okay.
