fellow
officer you

no hey can you have him a priority
download his camera while the truth of
what happened remains shrouded in
mystery it will be EXP B through the
footage from officer Hernandez's body
warn camera in due time in the meantime
a promising update on Terry's condition
offers a glimmer of hope she still got
cardiac activity it's very slow it's
consistent with that but you see still
very very
minority away right there
okay you good with that yeah the
officers still know very little about
the situation and are eager to fill in
the blanks as they continue to question
the witness he begins to reveal hidden
motives behind his reluctance to give
them his name you want to give me your
name
man guys this is wrong man I don't this

right now okay so juster where is it
Terry ter but soon rumors of a troubling
Discovery in the victim's vehicle put
the officers on high alert I don't
know did I what did you P him down no I
didn't I would P him down just
cuz I know I already asked you if you
had any weapons I can I just make sure
can I just pass down quick you can put
your hands behind your back here and
like I said you're not in any trouble
down take it out can I take it out yeah
don't don't other officers standing
nearby Express their confusion over the
developing
situation what is he
doing
off
witness you said this is to a paintball
gun yeah
this do we know what I don't
know
that's just keep an eye he's coopertive
right now so just watch yeah over here's
good yeah you want to sit down over here
as Terry is finally loaded into the
ambulance one officer suspects that
there's more to Jesus's involvement than
any of them
realize can
we
no even though he's a
passenger yeah we don't know if
he's can I
ask why aren't we running him huh why
aren't we running him
there's a passenger and he saw the whole
thing inside the car what do you why
aren't we running it I didn't say you
could you said to question him cuz he's
got to be questioned with another agency
cuz the whole task force is coming out
so we can run him right now yeah you can
run him on make sure he's clear and what
not but I mean you don't need to all we
say is not to question him do you have a
49 can you run on one no on two we we
got channel two for us so we'll stay on
two cuz no had P him down when I walked
up nobody I a witness
so I'm
just treating him like's a treat him
like he's a I don't know
why right I just honestly I I thought he
was a witness that walked out of his
house so because nobody told me
otherwise so because I was dealing with
all this and time to make sure away but
Jesus's true identity isn't the only
thing this officer is curious about
yeah what you yeah the officers run
Jesus's name through their database
unaware they're about to uncover more
than what they bargain for meanwhile as
Terry reaches the hospital officers and
paramedics are left in a tense state of
limbo passing the time by discussing
what little they know about the
unfolding situation how many times did
she get hit was it two or one
I know did F controls that early yeah he
usually does them at night you
know but he checks out with people and
he'll be like done with them like right
away and this one he checked out
and Yeah is it all the way up
there yeah went now I think
so cuz we didn't even get no information
the radio we just he checked out and
then shots fired and that was
it yeah but they aren't the only ones
intrigued as a nurse begins to ask
questions of her
own um
what
I officer involved shooting I don't even
know the I don't even know
how like from the scene it kind of looks
like she tried to ride ran him over oh
she tried to run him over I think so as
the conversation continues unsettling
observations hint that they may be more
to the story than they yet
realize you a going to find out the
cheese made for me or nothing from this
no from but it's yeah I don't even know
the cheese
man in here well what it looks like it's
cuz he checked out and it's like in a
it's like B so he just said shots fired
that's crazy but we showed up on scene
and it seems like they try to R him over
oh so cuz I the casing were like over
there and the car was over here but I
was a lot of people getting shot in the
back though yeah I don't know I didn't
like the whole
scene back at the scene the result of
Jesus's background check has come back
and one shocking revelation after the
next leaves officer stunned I'm showing
invalid suspended on an ID card
59 185 brown
eyes show that he
has one out of the District Attorney's
Office actually he's going to have
two
worse it's going to be fure to appear
for code
16 history of resisting evading
obstructing one is going to be
Nationwide for controlled substance
10,000 secured Bond second is going to
be a 10,000 secur Bond and it's going to
be for breaking an entry he also has one
out of LCPD for failure to appear for
trespassing and he
has six mun despite the alarming report
the officers choose to keep the
information to themselves for now and
continue to monitor Jesus while they
await further instructions meanwhile
officer Hernandez is being assessed at
the police station and has rations of
his own to share all right hernandz
we're just going to all we're doing is
we're going to be taking overall
pictures we'll be sticking the little
numbers or letters on each individual
portion of your vest so there's some
questions I need to ask real quick are
you injured yes okay have you been
checked out by medical staff yet okay
we'll make sure we get that done for you
okay uh during the shooting were you
kneeling PR mounting or something else
standing standing okay how many rounds
uh do you load in your magazine help
off 16 + one 16+
one so basically we're going to be
taking pictures around your hands arms
if you name it we're taking pictures
okay okay so you said you injured um is
it just pleas yeah okay right so if you
can just keep your for me while his
alleged injuries could support his
claims that Terry attempted to run him
over the true story can only be verified
by the footage which has yet to be seen
in the meantime the sun has risen on the
crime scene and the officers have bad
news for Jesus who's been patiently
waiting to be released from
detainment we'll detain for now and then
we'll who ran him
umch you possibly have on I
know okay cool
the warrants for this mile that we ran
out here can you confirm to stop tting
up relax your arm I'm not tting up
you're going you because
you're I'm not fixing my
arms what did I do wrong why you guys

do wrong because I'm asking your
questions cuz I'm worried about her I
want to go to the hospital and see if
she's okay so you guys are arresting me
cuz I want to see if you're going to
jail okay
11 why you my
like anything just
walk isus is swiftly taken to jail and
left with uncertainty about Terry's fate
soon an investigative team arrives and
begins to meticulously survey the scene
attempting to piece together what may
have happened it's hard to tell
that she something here and interaction
the majority of was over there she ended
up
revers however processing the crime
scene proves to take longer than anyone
anticipated as two officers Stand By and
guard the victim's car they begin to
engage in an intriguing discussion so
what you guys come up
with com out on YouTube or something
with
out maybe I feel like they've all been
coming out on YouTube lat someone
request it don't they have to go through
like a bunch of steps or something like
to request it yeah
forms at the other end of the culdesac
officers Whitten and Martinez have been
asked to watch over vital evidence
however multiple unexpected encounters
put the Integrity of the crime scene in
jail
at 11:40 a.m. officer Martinez hears a
commotion nearby and rushes over to
investigate my son went in there I don't

ing him the suspect tells officers his
name is Tahoe and doesn't deny breaking
in through the window claiming he
thought the apartment belonged to his
friend when asked for his friend's name
he said he didn't know it leading
officers to suspect he may be lying upon
learning the man is homeless they assume
the suspect was squatting in the
residence and leave it up to the
homeowners to decide whether to press
charges you got lucky man you got lucky
all right I'm right these guys are being
cool but you got know from here on out
