South Bureau Homicide Page #4

---

it should be over.

We felt there has to

be other steps to this.

Especially when we found out

the people who killed our kids

had not been arrested.

That really blew our mind.

And so we got together and

created this organization

called Justice for

Murdered Children.

And we started meeting

other families that had

the same situation,

unfortunately.

All three counts, how can you

get a hung jury on all three?

Two attempted murders,

you, your son,

and then the murder

of your grandson.

I don't see how they can do that

when you all were eyewitnesses.

Yeah, victims and

eyewitnesses to the crime.

And I'm telling you,

this man shot me,

and you sayin' no he didn't.

And he didn't shoot my son,

and I said he shot me,

my son, and my grandson,

that one right there.

See that says somethin'

about our judicial system,

I don't know.

Where do these juries come from?

Because see your grandson,

by him bein' a kid,

that was a whole

totally different thing.

There's no way jurors

could not feel that.

Unless the judge

gave an instruction

if you can't find him

guilty on this one,

then you can't find him

guilty on the other two.

No, that's why you break it up.

So it's no

instructions like that.

Because you can be

found guilty on one,

and not guilty on another.

We always believin' that

if we get the eyewitness

and everything, then we got you.

Now, they get the eyewitness,

five eyewitnesses and

they still didn't get him.

That's crazy.

We don't get grants,

the only funding we get

is through fundraisers

that we actually create.

If I had committed a murder,

and then I decided today

I'm not gonna commit

murder no more,

I'm gonna change my life,

and create a gang

intervention program,

I coulda got funded.

But because I'm a victim of

this crime called murder,

and my family decided

that hey, they want

those people who

committed that crime to be

arrested, charged,

and convicted,

we can't fund that.

This murder is a

murder from a year ago,

and basically what happened

was we had our victim,

Jeffrey Davis, he's

an older male, black,

and his associate, a girl by

the name of Andrea Fowler,

were filling prescriptions

of Oxycontin,

down in Saddleback

Pharmacy, in Mission Viejo,

and then they were selling

this to Eight Trey gangsters

who were subsequently

transporting it

up to Washington state, and

making a huge profit up there.

So, while they were there

counting the money they just got

from this large sale,

a male black came up,

stuck a gun in the window,

in Jeffrey's face, says,

"Give me the money,"

and Jeffrey said,

"You're gonna have to

kill me for my money,"

and he grabbed the gun and

they fought over the gun.

We were able to develop

information that

Andrea Fowler was a

co-conspirator in planning this

robbery to get money

back from Jeffrey because

he had been shorting

her on the money.

And so she subsequently

enlisted the aid of some

other individuals to help

her give this money back.

It was never suppose

to be a murder,

but when the victim fought

back that changed everything.

Here at criminal

gang homicide division,

we have a uniform

detail attached to us.

SEU, Special Enforcement Unit.

They assist us in the

enforcement and suppression

of gangs, and also to

arrest, gather intelligence

on certain gangs and violent

individuals in our community.

At that location we're

gonna be looking for

any association with

Bloodstone Villains.

We're lookin' for an

unknown caliber revolver,

and we're looking

for anything that,

just the general

lives that would show

who has ownership there,

and also cell phones.

Lot a times when we

put a case together,

we have targets of suspects,

and we then are gonna go back

and do search warrants

of those suspects.

We'll utilize those

teams to put together the

tactical operations, put

together the game plan

on how to get to a location,

make sure it's safe

before the homicide

detectives then so in there

and actually search

for physical evidence.

This is the

Los Angeles Police Department,

we have a search warrant

for your residence,

we need you to exit

the front door,

and be guided by the

direction of officers.

Do it now, please.

And we don't serve the warrant

until everybody is set up.

We try and call everybody out.

We want it to be as safe

as possible for everyone,

the police and even the

individuals that we're

serving the warrant with.

I said

you just wanna come out

with your hands up.

knock.

I did.

How

'bout opening the door.

The door's open.

Come out

with your hands up.

Okay, don't shoot.

What's goin' on, sir?

- Come out.

- Hands up,

get your hands up, on your head.

Turn around.

They will go into any

house that we go into,

and they will search it,

primarily for bodies first,

we're making sure that

anybody who is left inside

we will be able to locate.

We ask any individuals

that came out before them,

"Is there anybody else inside?"

Just me and my grandma,

and my wife, that's it.

I don't know what's goin' on.

- A lot of times they'll say,

"Nope, nobody, it's all clear,"

and then these officers will

go in and make sure that

nobody's hiding, or that

nobody was left in the back.

Get your

hands on your f***in' head

and step out a the car.

Turn around.

We were able to locate

an individual that

we were indeed looking for,

and detectives did

want to interview him,

they do believe that

he had something to do

with a crime we're

investigating.

Hey, get the

f*** out a the way.

You're here for

one of two reasons,

either to give information

or get information.

We will take the information

back to our communities

so when we're standin'

around 30, 50, 100 people,

we say wait, this is

how the process goes,

kick back, relax, and that

can ease the community

as it relates to

what's happening with

the loss of life

of their loved one.

Since we're talkin'

about homicides,

with respect to gang homicides,

I thought this would be a

good way to suque into our

conversation having, what I

consider to be the subject

matter of the experts here,

the detectives from criminal

gang homicide division.

- Stinson is our front man.

Our detectives need to

make these meetings,

but Stinson's there, he's

there at those meetings.

He's our liaison, between

us and the community

and a lot of the groups

that we deal with.

It's clearly, they're not

catchin' any of these murderers.

So, if they aren't

catchin' the murderers,

so what's goin' on with the

money that's not being used

to prosecute these people,

'cause they're not

bein' arrested.

The biggest thing for the

community is not knowing

when these killers

are apprehended.

The victims' families

wanna see those arrests.

We wanna hear about them.

Our children need

to hear about them.

Keep somethin' in mind, just

because January first, 2013

arrives, doesn't mean we're

not working cases a year ago,
