m. a car arrived at 1492 Rockaway Street carrying a number of people who started hanging out with some friends on the side of the road this group included Javier small lenier worthy and jonte Smith everything seemed fine until 7:29 p. m.
a black vehicle reversed into the street carrying Tiara Harris and her boyfriend George her boyfriend recognized some of the people on the sidewalk and wanted to back up and say hi to them at that very moment on the other end of the street three men emerged from an unrelated vehicle and started firing bullets these men were Z Saunders 17-year-old Antonio Whitaker and Darion Rackley all affiliated with the gang BBM a notoriously violent gang active in Akon at the time there was also the driver of the car Jeremiah Williams their shots scattered the group on the sidewalk with everyone running for cover in the panic jonte and Javier Drw their guns and began to shoot back bullets went back and forth and everyone went into a panic as they realized their lives were at risk and a bullet could strike them at any moment seconds later the dust settled and the BBM members zier antonel and Darion fled the scene however a grueling silence would ring throughout the street as Tiara's boyfriend George realized Tiara was the sole victim of the shooting with BBM splitting up and running in different directions George flooring it to the hospital and everyone on the sidewalk either heading inside or preparing to head to the hospital too cops would begin the gring task of figuring out what just happened and who ultimately was the one that fired the killing shot now that you understand exactly what happened we can join the police as they try to figure out what just went down and how to solve the developing mystery remember that all the cops have received at this point is a phone call alerting them to the shooting and a description of the silver Chevy they've just pulled a gang member from uh there's another victim that's at we don't know that we don't know where that victim's going to go there's a possib that victim uh may be deceased yeah they got shot okay they got someone's got to go check probably two of the officers ran over to the front of the hospital and discovered Javier small and his girlfriend in complete distress get checked out as it turns out another girl was was also hit in the shooting that being this man's girlfriend luckily she was only shot in the leg but he was still extremely distraught and horrified about the whole incident I'm onest got I got to go to the house with my girl bro I just I just got car I don't know I don't know I don't know no bro I didn't bro no despite how distraught this guy is he was a passenger in the Chevy which they just found multiple Firearms inside of so police promptly arrested him hey we'll take him over here across town however there's someone in a much worse position Tiara Harris the passenger in the black car car I open that up I'm trying all right this saying she's pregnant too okay how pregnant is she how how far alongs weeks two weeks maybe two yeah oh okay yeah thank you yeah 44 in am I allow to ride in the car to the hospital uh not right now I'm sorry man bro yni just got shot I mean t t just got shot bro just in the car just driving down the street just driving down the street and Kim were driving from over there and they just was they just was shooting none of the glass broke but she just would she not she wasn't like moving or talking so I just brought it and the blood just start dripping from her head like bro we see in the hospital SE hold up SE the ambulance like I can't even talk right now bro Tiara was immediately rushed to the local hospital and her boyfriend George was brought in for questioning he wasn't a lead suspect but police did find it odd that he just happened to arrive at the site of a violent shooting right as it all went down he would claim to be innocent and actually provide a detailed description of everything that went down that night you turned off here so no boom no I didn't I came this way and I said what y'all got like what y'all got going on over here like I'm like like basically y good as soon as I said that somebody from down here got to just shooting a gun that just kept shoot that's all I know but I didn't see I didn't hear nobody or nothing like that so you're right there and then you heard the how many shots did you hear man I can't even recall it was a lot and then as soon as I so you were facing this way no you lit backed all the way say I'm coming down you this in this Rock Way this would be Rock away down I bed up oh so you backed so the back of your car was facing that way no yeah and I'm like is y'all I'm like what like what y'all got going on like I look out just like that like out the window like soon as I even like it it it should have been me like you feel me cuz I'm I'm the one that look straight out the window like y'all all right yall good type stuff the cops asked him why he was even there in the first place to which he just said he knew a couple of people on the street and that he had absolutely no involvement in the shooting he's claiming that when he peaked out the window his friends mistook him for the shooter and began to fire bullet after bullet directly at his vehicle according to him it wasn't an accident but a misunderstanding making the whole situation even more tragic with George's statement they were a little clearer on the whole situation but they' made no progress into actually solving the case or tracking down the real perpetrators that was until they returned to the scene and spoke to a number of witnesses who had watched the entire event take place it was two African-Americans where they running young kids uh they come from back there across his backyard next door and out the driveway he had um face mask on and had a 9 mm and then the other one had semi-automatic rifle and they were almost to the corner of the house running this way and they both jumped the fence like when the K jump Mar Hood he jumped the fence he dropped the semi-automatic rifle at the driveway I was out I was just out back cutting some uh stuff and all I heard was just a barrage of bullets fully auto it wasn't three round first four run it was fully auto coming fast oh yeah hot and loud and Fast and then I saw two guys when I was out back I could see through the backyards through the fence I saw silhouetted two guys running up towards that street returning single shots as they were running away there's there's casings up here yeah okay I many did you hear you think it was like 30 30 where all these cones are at probably that amount 30 or 40 over there all the time where's over there right at the house right there I heard a lot of gunfire but when I went out when I first heard it I thought it was a backfire because I saw this car over sitting over here where all the comes are he had his lights on mhm so I thought he was working on a car and it backfired real bad then I saw them loading people into cars to take them to the hospital and I knew it wasn't because this has happened so many times before I'm just I don't know what we're supposed to do we can't go outside nothing even with all this new information though the cops are only slightly closer to figuring out what happened they were now at least able to confirm that one group of Shooters rolled up and started the exchange before another responded causing a huge exchange of bullets throughout the neighborhood but they still had two major questions who were the shooters and how was Tiara involved well the cops had just spotted another witness that might be able to answer their questions a woman who was actually on the street the moment the bullets started flying so you don't live here I'm even I was so who who owns the house she is she was to eat when I her okay every everyone's okay though right the kids the kids yes the kids are okay I got in the back um there was another girl outside I think she got shot in the thigh or the leg I think she they took PR in the hospital she def got here okay so what did you see I'm sitting outside to be honest we are family so we we all praying like act like each other and stuff next thing I just these gun shots I'm like all right was that a BB through shwing yeah and it was like they came through again so I'm running up trying I didn't even know where the gunshot com from I'm running up gra trying to gra the kids they came through F okay did the house just hit a roll man I don't even is that a b ho right here I I don't I was really just trying to grab the kids you said so what they got out they got out of a COR they didn't even get out of the car or they just SE they were hanging out they hanging out shooting did you see how many by chance three three of them now it's starting to sound a lot more like a driveby shooting notoriously one of the hardest types of crimes to solve especially if the vehicle was stolen the cops are starting to lose confidence that they'll ever find Tiara's killer but then they decide to ask one simple question ma'am do those cameras work I believe so okay she on her way home oh she is okay perfect there were CCTV cameras on the property and as soon as the homeowner got back they'd have access to the footage so in just a few hours the cops were able to put together just enough footage to understand exactly what happened remember we already know all of this but for the police this was huge now they had a detailed timeline of the entire incident including at what time it went down how many people were involved and which vehicles the suspects used this would be very useful in the coming interrogations in terms of verifying their suspect's claims and pressuring them to confess police finally had a solid piece of evidence and right as their case had started to build some substance their biggest lead yet would step out right in front of them I have video of them carrying the girl I can put it on SD C she'll send her a link and she just upload it from there right they took off not only had they seen the entire thing go down but as soon as they heard gunshots they started recording they managed to get this clear footage of a man getting into the same vehicle spotted at the shooting just minutes [Music] earlier now all they needed to do was track down the car using the visible license plate and they'd have their first lead suspect but with that said these kids kids were no strangers to running from the police and the officers would begin the hunt to find these evil teens while all of this was going on police had another perhaps more nerve-wracking situation to handle Tiara had passed away and her family had no [Music] idea apparently not Li too many people in the hospital let's step over here see where all these cruises are my car okay I'm ready I'm right herez I didn't know right here sorry okay what's your daughter's name you're here for your daughtera Harris Kiara Harris say have you stand right here next to the sign we'll have some go over to talk to you okay take deep breath is she okay okay I don't know the names of of who they are currently Miss just listen to the cop's tone here he knows just how bad things are looking for Tiara and he absolutely doesn't want to break that news to her mother yet especially when he sees just how emotional she's starting to get Tiara's autopsy showed a single bullet struck her in the head and remains there well tragic this information would allow police to identify the exact bullet type and then gun used to shoot Tiara if they could find the owner of this gun they would be able to match it to the bullet and Justice could be served for Tiara and her family hey hey come here they got a bunch of people showing up that's my my son and my nephew okay well listen they can't go in it's going to be you y go in the car go in the car they're telling us to wait outside know I'm going in go in my car the entire family is in distress with her mom shaking and doing everything she can to stay strong in front of her kids it's truly a nightmare situation and it only got worse from there at around 8:30 p. m.
