Teen Killer Forced To Tell Mom About His Crimes
Is she okay? Do you see where she's heading? No, it's on the side of her head. This. saying she's pregnant, too. Take a deep. breath. This woman was just informed that her. daughter Tiara Harris was shot in a gang. related incident and is in critical. condition. They just were shooting and the blood. just started dripping from her head like. she was in the mother ambulance. Like I. can't even talk right now, bro.
Her boyfriend rushed her to the. hospital, but sadly it was already too. late. And the worst part, Tiara had. nothing to do with the shootout. She was. an innocent bystander. A simple mixup. left an innocent pregnant mother of two. dead, her children now motherless, and. her family absolutely heartbroken. The. police now face a grueling. investigation. However, with everyone. involved supposedly being gang members, catching the killers would prove to be.
much harder than anything they'd done. before. We've been in touch with Yolanda, the. mother featured in this video, and are. proud to share that half of the video's. profits will be donated to the. Akranbased charity, First Glance Student. Center. At 7:29 p.m. on April 14th, Akran Police. Department would receive multiple calls. reporting dozens of gunshots being fired. out of 1492 Rockaway Street. Witnesses.
would describe what seemed like a. gang-lated shooting with multiple cars. speeding away from the scene, one being. a silver four-door Chevy. Police managed. to quickly track down the Chevy. following it as the driver sped across. back roads in Akran. However, the Chevy. wasn't actually running from the cops. It instead would pull over somewhere. that concerned the cops even more. The. hospital.
Hey, hey, hey, hold on. Go ahead and shut the car off. Shut the car off. Shut the car off here. Put Go ahead and. put your hands on top of your head. All. right. Hands Nope. Nope. Nope. Hands on top of. your head. Step out. Step up. Do we have someone checking street? All right, man. Here. Step back here to.
the back of the car. Go ahead and put. your hands behind your back. With the incident being reported as a. gang related shootout, police would. assume the man driving the Chevy to be a. gang member, meaning he would be very. unlikely to talk to them. So instead, they decide to stuff him in the back of. a patrol car for later interrogation. As. this was going on, dozens of additional. 911 calls would ring in. Witnesses would. arrive at the Akran Police Department to. give their testimonies, and more and. more cars would arrive at the hospital. Most importantly though, 4 miles away, a.
young woman would be placed in an. ambulance under critical condition with. a bullet wound to her head. Turns out all of this would be connected. to a large group of reckless shooters. It's at this point that we need to step. in. This is one of the most complex and. mysterious cases we've ever covered. So, we need to break down some details first. in order for you to fully understand the. case itself and how well the police. handled every single step of solving it.
At 7:22 p.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, Lineier. 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 Zire Saunders, 17-year-old Anthony Whitaker, and Derion. Rackley. All affiliated with the gang. BBM, a notoriously violent gang active. in Akran 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. drew 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, Antil, and Derion 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 grueling 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 a we. don't know that we don't know where that. victim's going to go. There's a. possibility 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. tight. He can't go in because she got to get. checked out. As it turns out, another girl 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. Bro, I'm on house. arrest. I got to go. I got to go to the. hospital. Come on. I got to go to the house with my girl. Bro, we'll get. back to you. I don't know. I don't know. I don't. know. I don't know, bro.
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.
Open that up. I'm trying. All right. They're saying she's pregnant, too. Okay. How pregnant is she? How How far? Two weeks pregnant. Two weeks. Maybe two. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Am I allowed to ride in the car window. to the hospital? Uh, not right now. I'm sorry, man.
Bro, Johnny just got shot. I mean, just. 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 went she not. she wasn't like moving or talking. So, I. just brought her and the blood just. started dripping from her head like, "Bro, she in the hospital. She hold up. She. 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 turn off here or something. 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 all good. As soon as. I said that, somebody from down here got. to just shooting a gun. I just kept. shooting. That's all I know. But I.
didn't see I didn't hear nobody. So you're right there and then you heard. that. How many shots did you hear? Man, I can't even recall. It was a lot. And then soon as I. So you were facing this way? No, you litally backed all the way. I'm. coming down and this and this rockway on. this would be Rockway. Okay. I backed up. Oh, so you back So the back of your car. was facing that way. Yeah. 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 looked straight.
out the window like, "Are y'all all. right? You all 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'd 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 Africanameans. where they run a few young kids. Uh they. come from back there across his backyard. next door and out the driveway. He had a face mask on and had a 9 mm.
And then the other one had a. 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 kid jumped when. Marine Hoodie 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 burst, four round. It was.
fully auto. Coming off 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 a silhouette of two. guys running up towards that street. returning single shots as they were. running away. There's there's casings up here. Yeah. Okay. How many did you hear? You think. I heard it was like 30. where all these cones are at probably 30. or 40. This happen 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 combs 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 not even here. I was visiting. So who who owns the house? Anita. She is. She was about to eat when I called her. Okay. Every everyone's okay though, right? The kids. The kids. Yes, the kids are okay. I got. them in the back watching TV. Um there was another girl outside. I. think she got shot in the thigh in the. leg. I think she they took her probably to. the hospital. She definitely got hit.
Okay. So, what did you see? I'm sitting outside. To be honest, we. are family. So, we we're all tight prays. and like act like we each other and. stuff. Next thing I know, I just heard. these gunshots. I'm like, "All right, without gun come through shooting.". Yeah. And it was like pop came through. So, I'm running up trying I didn't even know. where the gunshots came from. I ran up. trying to grab the kids. They came. through twice. Okay. Did the house get hit? I mean, I don't give a [ __ ] Is that a. boho right here? I don't.
I was really just trying to grab the. kids. And you said so what? They got out. They. got out of a car. They didn't even get out of the car. Are they just They were hanging out. I was 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 drive by 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. 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 suspects 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. And I can I can put it on an SD card. that was. she'll send her link and then she just.
upload it from there. Right after 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. earlier. [Music]. 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. 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 idea. They're currently not letting too many. people in the hospital. Let's step over. here. See where all these cruises are. My car. Okay. I'm right. Where's your car at? I'm right here cuz I didn't.
right here. Sorry. Which one? Okay. What's your. daughter's name? You here for your. daughter? Kiara Harris. Kiara Harris. Say have me stand right here next to. this sign. We'll have someone go over to. talk to you. Okay. Take a deep breath. 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. While. 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'all go in the car. Go in the car. They're telling us to wait outside. No. 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., they were informed that Tiara. didn't make it. A bullet to the back of. the head had ended her life, sending her. family into complete grief and agony. Now, police knew that they absolutely. had to catch the people that did this to. Tiara or risk letting down her and her. entire family. At this point, police had. six different suspects on the run, all. tied to the shooting, and they would. eventually manage to track down and get.
interrogations with all of them. Their. start came in the form of a Facebook. post by someone named Jeremiah Williams, described as a member of the BBM gang. Apparently, the post consisted of him. bragging about being at the shooting and. escaping without getting caught. By. using his Facebook profile, they'd find. his address and pick him up for. interrogation. With Jeremiah also being. a supposed gang member, he too would. prove to be extremely difficult to. break. However, by using expert methods,
police would actually get him to break. completely to the point where he. actually started to cry. He wasn't. Yeah, that's true. How's it going, driver? Sorry for the wait, man. Uh, I'm Detective Smith. This is. Detective Davis. Nice to meet you.
All right, man. So, the reason why we. have you sitting here talking to us is. we need you to think back to April. There's incident that happened on. Rockway. You remember this? This young. lady got shot. You remember hearing. about that? Mhm. Okay. So during our investigation, your. name's been coming up, but do you know. about where you were that day if you. can? I was I was definitely at home. Apparently Jeremiah also has an alibi. and even gives multiple names over. that'll attest he wasn't on Rockaway. that night. You're at home. Where was Was that at Amherst?
Amherst. This was right before my mom moved to. Louisiana. My best friend Rob talked to. her sister, the girl that died, her. sister Deiani or. Diane or however you say her name. Uh my. best friend Rob was like in a kind of. little. dating. Yeah. With her sister. It was crazy. We. got on Facebook and it was all over. Facebook. Her sister had got killed and. stuff. and my mom was like, "Uh, ain't that the. ain't that the girl that came over here.
the other day?" We like, "No, that was. her little sister." Has her little. sister reached out to you guys or. anything? Um, we haven't talked to her in I mean I. haven't talked I don't talked to her at. all for real. But. so you were at your house on Ammerst? Yeah. Um, was there anyone with you that day? Uh, my mom. Which mom? My mom's name is April. However, the detectives know this to be. untrue. They know he was at the scene. from the Facebook post he made. They. know he did it, so they want to get a.
confession or even better some. information that might help put more. people in handcuffs. The thing is, they're initially going to find that a. lot harder than they'd hope. I have to. ask, do you recognize this car, dude? This was the car that was in that video. that's on Facebook. So, you remember it? Have you ever been. in this car? No. Do you know who drives this car or. owns this car? Uh, I don't know him by like name, but I. know who he is. his name like Pod or. something. That's what they call him.
Do you know? Can you describe him? It's That's funny cuz I don't even. really know what he looks like. Like, every time I've seen him, I've seen him. with a ski mask on. Okay. Like, I've never seen him outside of a. ski mask. Okay. All right. Tell me a little bit about. yourself, your past. Like, have you ever. been in trouble or anything? Um, yeah. I'm actually right now I'm I'm. I got probation. So, like just a weapons. possession charge is all you got? It's like a carrying a concealed firearm.
in one vehicle. Gotcha. Yeah. Jeremiah is making a conscious attempt. to give as little information over as. possible while still trying to seem. cooperative. He's smart. He doesn't want. to completely close himself off as. that'll make him seem guilty. But he. also doesn't want to give up any vital. information. The cops ask him who was. there, where he was sitting in the car, even questions about the guns. But he. refuses to speak, and he's starting to. seriously frustrate the cops. But all.
this talk of courts and investigations. doesn't seem to be getting them anywhere. at all. So instead, they switch gears. They're going to be as direct as. possible and give it to him straight. That's their last hope at getting him to. crack. Um, what do your friends call you? Do. you have a nickname or anything? Uh Jim, we're just getting to know you, man. Right. Obviously, you're we can see that you're. not a bad person. Just the vibes I'm. getting. Yeah, for sure. Um but you're in here talking to us for. a reason. And it comes back down to this.
incident. You being honest with us is. what we'll be able to work with with. you. We know that you were there and we. also got your DNA in this car. If I've been in that car, I would tell. you guys I've been in that car. I don't. have no reason to lie or no reason to. put myself in any trouble. Your role in. it is the driver because we know you're. the driver. Really, what we're looking. for is. why. You're already being charged with. the incident. You explaining your. actions and what really went down is.
just going to help with your role in. this. And we know you didn't pull the. trigger, but you not being honest with. what went down is not going to help you. It's going to the prosecutor and the. judge and jury are going to look at. someone who's not remorseful. Drop over there and they start shooting. So they told you to drive over to. Rockway. Yeah. Who was sitting where in the car? In the front. And Zo sitting behind me. And then on the door. It worked. The cops actually got a name.
It was a nickname, but cops could. eventually tie this back to a man named. Desire Saunders who would be. interrogated later. This was huge. They'd actually gotten a gangster to. tell on one of his partners. But they. weren't done yet. They knew he still had. more information and they weren't going. to stop putting on the pressure. Now, we got to go back to who was in the car. with you. I know you know Zebo. Pa. You say you just know him by P. You.
know his real name. Okay. In the third person, you're saying. you how often have you seen him? Would you be able to identify that last. person by a picture? Jeremiah physically looks defeated. He's. avoiding eye contact and is hunched. over. He likely never saw himself giving. up the names of his partners, but that's. exactly where he found himself. The. cops, however, are over the moon, even.
managing to get descriptions of the. people he doesn't know the names of. They ask a few more questions before. leaving him alone for a minute to. prepare their next move. However, on. their return, they didn't expect to see. Jeremiah, a once tough and unbreakable. gang member, to cry because of what he'd. done. What did you say his uh. his first name was? What? Darion. Is this him?
You want some tissues, man? I need a verbal yes or no if that's him. Yeah. If this is the first time you've seen a. gang member cry, you're certainly not. alone. But it actually happened again in. the detective's very next interrogation.
While these cops were busy talking to. Jeremiah, a breakthrough had been made. outside of the interrogation room. Remember this footage recorded by a. civilian witness earlier? Well, after 5. days of investigation, they actually. managed to track the car down, enabling. them to take in another suspect, Antil. Whitaker. Police would quickly realize. that Antil might be even more important. than Jeremiah as a suspect. He's a. supposed member of the BBM gang and.
believed to be one of the suspects that. initiated the shootout. The thing is, he's just 17 years old. Since there's. still some information even Jeremiah. couldn't give them, they figured they. might be able to scare him into giving. up everything he knows. And their first. idea is an unconventional but possibly. extremely effective method. A call home. to mom. This is really really serious now. You. you need to put yourself wherever you.
was and get to telling what your part as. much as you can cuz you can't take the. blame for this and this was not you. You. shouldn't be you shouldn't be sitting. there. They know it's your part. You. can't get you better than this. Antel. doesn't even seem to feel like following. his mother's advice. Despite the fact. that they know it was his car, he's. claiming that someone else was actually. driving it that day. And even more.
unfortunately, he'd forgotten exactly. who. Listen to his story and see if you. believe it as much as the detectives do. So, you saying you went you were at home? No. Wait. like the whole day. Someone. took your car somehow, brought your car. back, gave you the keys back or. whatever, and then so you could take. your dog uh your sister your sister. home. That that doesn't make sense, man. You know, a jury, you know, a judge.
They're not I'll be honest with you. I. mean, it's what you're given is not even. a good statement. It's not even a good. like lie. It's why it probably be easy. for you to tell the truth. You see, about an hour after the shooting, Antil. was confirmed to have used his car to. pick his sister up from an event, meaning it was clear that he was still. in possession of it. But that didn't. phase Antil. And despite how many. questions police asked him, he refused. to give up anything. How this works, you might already know. this from TV, but I mean, it's kind of.
accurate. We're going to compare your. DNA to the DNA on the shell casings that. we collected on scene. Is there any. reason your DNA is going to be on there? Cuz if there is, you've got to explain. that. You said I'm sorry. You said no or I. don't know. Who got in the car with you at Aldi's? If you weren't If you're saying your DNA. is not going to be in those showcases, right? And you're saying you weren't. driving. Who did you let drive your car? Believe it. I don't know who's driving.
Now it looks like it's on you. They're trying to force a confession out. of him by telling him that if he'd been. in physical contact with any of the. evidence tied to the murder, they would. find out and he would get sentenced. And. they're not lying either. When you touch. anything at all, you leave behind skin. cells, sweat, small hairs, or even oils. that can quickly be traced back to you. Meaning, if Antil had touched the car, the bullets when loading his gun, or. anything else related to the murder,
police would find out. However, as of. now, detectives haven't had the time to. run these tests to confirm if his DNA. was present, meaning they couldn't. pressure him to a confession, and they'd. have to wait until later. So, in the. meantime, they move their attention to. the next suspect. Remember the man. Jeremiah gave up to the cops back in his. interrogation? That was Zy Saunders. Once they had his name, they tracked him. down and arrested him. And he would. prove to be even more helpful than. Antneil and Jeremiah combined. Did you.
know of or hear about that young lady. who got killed? Yeah. Did you know her? No. We don't think that she was the one. meant to be heard. And I mean based on what we're seeing, but unfortunately she did get obviously. heard. Her family's heard. No. When we did that search warrant, we. got your phone. Yes. Okay. And we downloaded your phone and. your location is putting you on a rock. away that day. No [ __ ].
What happened that day, man? I shot a pistol. You shot a pistol? Yes. This seems like a breakthrough. He's. just admitted to being a part of the. shooting, and it seems that all the. detectives work has just paid off. But. they're not quite there yet. Of the. three shooters, two did indeed use. pistols. But one of them was actually. yielding the extremely dangerous. automatic rifle that can be seen clear. as day in this footage here. Instead of. jumping this fence after the shooting, the man with the rifle fled directly.
down Rockaway Street. And that's the. direction Zire's phone shows him. running. The good news is that clears of. being the man that killed Tiara. After. all, she was killed with a very specific. pistol round. But that does put him. directly in the spotlight of being the. man with the most dangerous weapon and. one that is directly lying to the cops. right now. And they're not about to let. him get away with that. They have video. of the incident. You on you on camera.
shooting the rifle. Is it a pistol that holds you know two. rifle rounds? I mean it ain't it ain't just it is. does it have a stock on it like. something kind of modified type thing? No, it didn't have a stock on it. to describe it there. You want me to. know what it is? That single piece of information. resulted in Zire actually getting the. highest sentence out of anybody involved. in the case. Just the use of such a. dangerous firearm actually increased his.
prison time by somewhere between 10 and. 15 years. But he still doesn't know that. yet. He's still under the guise that if. he helps the detectives out, he might. get a better deal. So, not only did he. tell them where to find the rifle he. used, he also gave up one of the most. vital pieces of information the cops had. received in the entire case. The uh group BBM just call for BBM. Zire just told the cops the name of the. gang that was involved. A huge piece of.
information that will help them track. down every last individual that was part. of this attack. Now, the detectives have. just one more final question that'll. hopefully put together the final pieces. of the puzzle they're looking for. You've been extremely helpful throughout. this whole interview. You helping. yourself out, too. You got to ask whose. idea was it? I know for sure it wasn't my just. around. So, B just say yours was my. dudes, but you got different dudes. You. got different like that's how they is. They didn't say it right then and there.
They said it on Facebook like but they. was like I knew they was talking about. me. They just didn't say it directly to. me, but I knew there. he just gave up the group chat where all. of these shootings supposedly were. planned. With this, police simply had to. cross reference the names in the group. chat with the supposed shooters on the. CCTV and the names that had been. mentioned in previous interrogations, giving them enough evidence to sentence. all six of the shooters. But. unfortunately, this wasn't the.
resolution they'd hoped for. After. examining all the weapons confiscated, it would turn out that none of them were. a match to the bullet found in Tiara's. head, meaning they still couldn't tie. any specific person to the actual. murder. However, there is one puzzle. piece we haven't told you about yet. The. one that would solve this entire case. Watching the CCTV footage, it's clear. that there is one man that directly shot. at Tiara's vehicle.
If you follow this man dressed in all. black back through the CCTV, you can. trace him all the way back to the. driver's seat of this black truck. A. black truck that until now the cops were. completely unable to identify. But then. they received one final piece of footage. from a witness, allowing them to track. it back to the owner, 44year-old mother. Kia Brown. Police realized they had to. interview her knowing that whoever was.
driving Kia's black truck that day. killed Tiara Harris. Hi. Hey. How you doing, ma'am? How are you? Good. I'm Detect Smith. This is. Detective Davis Police. Hi. Hey. Um, we wanted to talk to you or. whoever is driving that drives this. truck. Reference that incident that. happened up the street. Um, they were. being shot at and we're finally trying. to catch up with them. Um, look like a. couple males.
And have you heard about this? I heard about what happened around the. corner. This is my truck, but my son was. driving. It wasn't Kia, but her son driving the. car that night. And after running his. name, they'd find out he had ties to a. rival gang of BBM. So, the detectives. had Kia call her son and hand over the. phone to the officers. I have some detectives here right now. The day that we were moving in, the. incident that happened around the. corner. Okay. Would like to speak with. you. Do you have a moment? Can you go on.
break? How you doing, man? How you doing? Good. I'm Detective Smith. I'm with. Detective Davis with me. Hey, uh, what's. your name before we get started, bud? Liry. Lineer. All right, Lir. How you doing, man? I'm going behind the. So, listen, man. I won't keep too much. of your time. We were wondering if we. could talk with you and your mom maybe. in person at some point and we wanted to. talk to you about that incident that. happened up the street. Um we know. you're over there so we were hoping you.
could help us. Actually you're not in. any trouble. We're actually hoping you. could help us. Um would would there be a. good day for you to. Yes, we can. Yes. Sunday the 8th. Can we do anytime. after 2:30? Okay. Anytime after 230. All right. All right, man. We appreciate. it. We'll see you at 3:30. Okay. All right, buddy. Bye. And just like that, they had an. interview scheduled. And this was the. final suspect at the scene that they. hadn't yet spoken to. The man suspected. to be the driver of the black truck and.
the man they think Shantiara. Dad, how you doing? What's up? Appreciate you talking with us. So, I mean, obviously, you know why. we're here about that in that happened. up the street. So, you just wanted to know your perspective. that happened that day. What' you see. that type of stuff, bro? You couldn't. run us through that day? I was standing in the driveway. on my phone. Then I heard shots like got down.
Then when the shots stopped, heard that, ran to the car. When the shots started happening, you. ran and got in the driver's seat and. then teen got in your passenger seat. Okay. Um, that was it. Lineier had just told them. he was driving the black truck that day, confirming he was the man in all black. that drove the truck and hopped in the. Chevy. He was the man that fired the. bullets. So, they decided to ask him. upfront.
I'm about to ask you something, man. About to ask you in front of your. parents. I'm sorry, but I got to ask. Did you shoot that day? Okay. Even though he said no, police already. had all the evidence they needed. The. car tied to him, his ties to the rival. gang, and finally the video of him. shooting at Tiara's car, so they. arrested him on the spot and brought him. in for interrogation. What's up, man? You here?
Am I able to have a lawyer with me right. now? What's that? Can I have a lawyer with you? You can do whatever you want, man. I'm. not here to. Okay. Are you saying you want your. lawyer? You don't want to talk to you. Okay. All right. But in the end, this wouldn't matter. As. when they arrested and processed him, they managed to confiscate his gun. And. after analyzing the forensics of the. bullet inside of Tiara and Lenir's gun, it was a match. Linear had fired the. killing shot.
After 5 months of investigation, all the. puzzle pieces were finally in place. In. total, seven people were charged in this. incident. Zire Saunders was charged with. involuntary manslaughter and four counts. of felonious assault and was sentenced. to 35 to 40 years. Antil Whitaker and. Jeremiah Williams got 20 to 24 years on. similar charges, while the fourth. asalent in this group, Darion Rackley, got 34 to 40 years. It was confirmed.
Antil's DNA was in fact found on various. bullet casings on Rockaway Street. Despite his claims in the interrogation. room, the next two to be sentenced were. the ones who shot back at Zy's group. after being rolled up on. They were. Javier Small and Jonte Smith, who were. sentenced to 4 years and 2 and 1/2. years, respectively. Lastly, was Lenier. Worthy, Tiara's actual killer. However, as of this video's upload, he's still. awaiting sentencing. Tiara and George. were not involved in any of the gangs in.
the shootout and were found completely. innocent. At long last, Tiara and her. family could finally be at peace. Half of our profits in this video will. be donated to the Akranbased charity, First Glance Student, to help prevent. incidents like this from happening. again. The second half will go towards. the making of our next video.
