1
00:00:23,456 --> 00:00:25,457
The most heart-wrenching part of it
2
00:00:25,558 --> 00:00:31,196
is knowing that the person who
is guilty is still walking free.
3
00:01:00,193 --> 00:01:02,661
I knew we had the shooter.
4
00:02:13,733 --> 00:02:15,601
Kalamazoo Michigan police
5
00:02:15,702 --> 00:02:17,836
have just been alerted to an injured man
6
00:02:17,937 --> 00:02:21,740
in the parking lot of a liquor
store on portage street.
7
00:02:24,110 --> 00:02:28,480
Not knowing what to expect,
multiple units are dispatched
8
00:02:28,581 --> 00:02:29,414
to the address.
9
00:02:35,822 --> 00:02:38,257
I automatically know that it's go time.
10
00:02:39,792 --> 00:02:42,895
The adrenaline spikes,
blood pressure spikes,
11
00:02:42,996 --> 00:02:47,499
and I have to consciously
calm myself down.
12
00:02:53,873 --> 00:02:58,043
When I'm responding to this,
I am on very high alert.
13
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:08,320
I exited my patrol cruiser
and walked in from a distance,
14
00:03:08,421 --> 00:03:09,821
'cause I don't want to get shot.
15
00:03:09,923 --> 00:03:13,058
I walk up all, I saw was that
16
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:16,595
there was somebody lying on the ground.
17
00:03:16,696 --> 00:03:21,300
Officer Oliver observes
that the man's breathing is labored.
18
00:03:28,508 --> 00:03:30,943
I could see that he had
two bullet-like holes
19
00:03:31,044 --> 00:03:34,112
on the right side of his chest
and one exit wound,
20
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:36,114
which appeared to be
an exit wound from a bullet,
21
00:03:36,216 --> 00:03:37,616
on the left side of his chest.
22
00:03:42,088 --> 00:03:45,924
It was at this point that I
really went into paramedic mode.
23
00:04:03,576 --> 00:04:07,613
We immediately started cpr...
Chest compressions.
24
00:04:23,663 --> 00:04:28,667
I could see that the victim was
trying to take a breath again,
25
00:04:28,768 --> 00:04:33,272
which, to me, indicated that he had a pulse.
26
00:04:33,373 --> 00:04:37,442
Ems arrive and prepare the man for transport.
27
00:04:52,892 --> 00:04:55,927
I told the paramedics
in the back of the ambulance,
28
00:04:56,029 --> 00:04:59,798
"you guys just work on him and I'll drive."
29
00:05:22,955 --> 00:05:24,323
At the hospital,
30
00:05:24,424 --> 00:05:27,292
emts rushed the man into surgery.
31
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:36,068
It was at that point that we saw
32
00:05:36,169 --> 00:05:39,738
that his name was Gabriel Montanez.
33
00:05:42,809 --> 00:05:46,278
Unfortunately, Gabriel dies on the table.
34
00:05:46,379 --> 00:05:49,348
His death is ruled a homicide.
35
00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:25,751
Gabriel and I were
together for nearly six years.
36
00:06:25,852 --> 00:06:30,455
We share a daughter together, Aryana.
37
00:06:30,556 --> 00:06:34,459
He was... an energetic father.
38
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,628
He enjoyed going shopping with her,
39
00:06:36,729 --> 00:06:41,767
which of course is a young girl's dream.
40
00:06:41,868 --> 00:06:45,804
Me and my dad did like to go shopping a lot.
41
00:06:45,905 --> 00:06:47,706
We'd just shop for lots of things...
42
00:06:47,807 --> 00:06:51,676
We shopped for anything
that we saw that we might like.
43
00:06:51,778 --> 00:06:56,548
But mostly he was a shoe addict,
so...
44
00:06:56,649 --> 00:06:58,917
We mostly shopped for shoes.
45
00:07:00,086 --> 00:07:04,055
My father was very affectionate
with our family...
46
00:07:04,157 --> 00:07:06,491
He always wanted a hug,
47
00:07:06,592 --> 00:07:13,732
and he never wanted to see
anybody feel sad or mad.
48
00:07:13,833 --> 00:07:21,833
When I first heard about what
had happened, I was in shock.
49
00:07:21,941 --> 00:07:25,977
I didn't really know how to feel
or what to feel.
50
00:07:26,078 --> 00:07:31,249
He was the rock of the family.
51
00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:35,821
Now that he's gone, my family
are having their kids now.
52
00:07:35,922 --> 00:07:37,355
And he doesn't even get to meet them,
53
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:39,291
he doesn't even get to be a part of that.
54
00:07:39,392 --> 00:07:42,360
And that's very sad.
55
00:07:47,567 --> 00:07:49,367
Back at the crime scene,
56
00:07:49,469 --> 00:07:52,237
the murder investigation begins.
57
00:07:59,212 --> 00:08:02,481
Investigators set up a perimeter
with police tape
58
00:08:02,582 --> 00:08:06,585
and begin examining the area
around where Gabriel was shot.
59
00:08:35,948 --> 00:08:38,550
Officers located some blood
60
00:08:38,651 --> 00:08:42,120
that was believed to be
possibly from the victim.
61
00:08:47,293 --> 00:08:51,763
This blood trail would indicate,
from experience,
62
00:08:51,864 --> 00:08:58,003
that the victim was not shot in
the location where he was found.
63
00:08:58,905 --> 00:09:01,840
Cop: Yeah. Yeah. Still got
your tape handy?
64
00:09:08,180 --> 00:09:11,082
We started to canvass the area.
65
00:09:15,321 --> 00:09:20,759
There was apartment buildings
that were close by.
66
00:09:47,820 --> 00:09:51,189
There was also residential
neighborhood that was close by,
67
00:09:51,290 --> 00:09:55,794
so we needed to fan out
and begin to knock on doors.
68
00:10:01,968 --> 00:10:05,136
One of the witnesses
that had called in to dispatch
69
00:10:05,237 --> 00:10:07,539
was later located and interviewed.
70
00:10:48,114 --> 00:10:51,349
He provided information
that, when confronted,
71
00:10:51,450 --> 00:10:56,454
this male then fled the area
on foot to the east.
72
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:24,549
It was a very big moment
in the investigation
73
00:11:24,650 --> 00:11:26,584
to be able to get eyewitnesses
74
00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:33,892
that could describe suspects or individuals.
75
00:11:33,993 --> 00:11:36,728
I'm going to work a
little bit towards porch road.
76
00:11:36,829 --> 00:11:38,930
But I do feel that the clock is ticking...
77
00:11:39,031 --> 00:11:41,833
Time is typically against me.
78
00:11:41,934 --> 00:11:43,234
11, do you want to go find a good spot?
79
00:11:47,339 --> 00:11:49,541
We need to identify who did this
80
00:11:49,642 --> 00:11:53,178
and stop them from doing
this again to someone else.
81
00:12:01,887 --> 00:12:03,855
Kalamazoo Michigan police
82
00:12:03,956 --> 00:12:08,827
are investigating the death
of 31-year-old Gabriel Montanez,
83
00:12:08,928 --> 00:12:11,663
but have yet to identify any suspects,
84
00:12:11,764 --> 00:12:14,833
leaving his family desperate for answers.
85
00:12:19,438 --> 00:12:23,208
The frustrating part about Gabriel's case
86
00:12:23,309 --> 00:12:26,411
was hoping that they will find
enough evidence
87
00:12:26,512 --> 00:12:29,814
to be able to prove who did it.
88
00:12:29,915 --> 00:12:32,684
The most heart-wrenching part
of it is knowing
89
00:12:32,785 --> 00:12:36,588
that the person is still walking free.
90
00:13:10,356 --> 00:13:13,091
Now, hours into the investigation,
91
00:13:13,192 --> 00:13:17,328
detectives must identify a suspect.
92
00:13:17,429 --> 00:13:20,932
They begin by looking into
Gabriel's background.
93
00:13:23,269 --> 00:13:25,770
Victimology is our first step
94
00:13:25,871 --> 00:13:28,706
in a homicide investigation.
95
00:13:28,808 --> 00:13:32,110
We have to learn who the victim is,
96
00:13:32,211 --> 00:13:33,511
what he's about,
97
00:13:33,612 --> 00:13:34,979
what triggers him,
98
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,215
what his lifestyle is like.
99
00:13:37,316 --> 00:13:39,818
That sort of leads me along the way
100
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:44,556
when I decide what direction
to go in with the investigation,
101
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:47,926
and who I try to speak to next.
102
00:14:13,619 --> 00:14:17,922
Part of victimology
is that we do look into
103
00:14:18,023 --> 00:14:20,391
how many times they've had
contact with the police.
104
00:14:20,492 --> 00:14:23,628
What has been the nature
of those complaints?
105
00:14:35,241 --> 00:14:38,843
Gabriel had been called upon
by the police
106
00:14:38,944 --> 00:14:41,412
a few days before his homicide.
107
00:14:41,513 --> 00:14:44,883
And that incident involved
his girlfriend, Kimberly.
108
00:14:47,019 --> 00:14:51,489
She was at work, and he was
hanging around at her work,
109
00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:55,627
and she wanted him removed.
110
00:14:55,728 --> 00:15:00,331
That albeit small contact
could definitely be the catalyst
111
00:15:00,432 --> 00:15:02,800
for a possible homicide.
112
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:05,603
That's why I wanted to talk with Kimberly.
113
00:15:09,174 --> 00:15:12,043
Investigators dig
into Kimberly's background
114
00:15:12,144 --> 00:15:14,145
and find a current address.
115
00:15:14,246 --> 00:15:16,381
She lived in the apartment building
116
00:15:16,482 --> 00:15:18,283
that bordered the crime scene
117
00:15:18,384 --> 00:15:20,885
where Gabriel's body had been found.
118
00:15:25,057 --> 00:15:29,961
I could not avoid seeing that
as a possibility that Kimberly
119
00:15:30,062 --> 00:15:34,332
knew something about the crime,
was a witness to the crime,
120
00:15:34,433 --> 00:15:40,672
or had some information as to
who could have targeted Gabriel.
121
00:15:40,773 --> 00:15:42,941
Investigators obtained a search warrant
122
00:15:43,042 --> 00:15:44,709
for Kimberly's apartment,
123
00:15:44,810 --> 00:15:48,913
unsure of what they might
encounter when they arrive.
124
00:15:56,455 --> 00:16:00,858
There was an entry team
that had been assembled...
125
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,561
Myself and another SWAT operator.
126
00:16:07,132 --> 00:16:08,399
Ascending the stairwells
127
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:12,737
up to where Kimberly's apartment was at.
128
00:16:30,823 --> 00:16:33,491
There's a lot of things
that are going through my mind
129
00:16:33,592 --> 00:16:36,060
at that time...
Could she be a victim?
130
00:16:36,161 --> 00:16:39,097
Is there the suspect inside of
there that's lying in wait?
131
00:16:39,198 --> 00:16:41,366
So there's a lot of unknowns
that are happening
132
00:16:41,467 --> 00:16:43,668
before this door gets opened.
133
00:17:00,986 --> 00:17:02,520
It's been several hours
134
00:17:02,621 --> 00:17:06,057
since the murder of
31-year-old Gabriel Montanez
135
00:17:06,158 --> 00:17:07,992
in kalamazoo, Michigan,
136
00:17:08,093 --> 00:17:09,694
and SWAT team officers
137
00:17:09,795 --> 00:17:14,132
are entering the apartment
of his ex-girlfriend, Kimberly.
138
00:17:25,744 --> 00:17:28,312
I remember seeing
that there was a bedroom
139
00:17:28,414 --> 00:17:29,847
located off the living room.
140
00:17:29,948 --> 00:17:34,919
It was a white female who sat up
in the bed and confirmed
141
00:17:35,020 --> 00:17:36,954
that it was Kimberly, at that time.
142
00:17:58,043 --> 00:18:00,144
What was seemingly odd at the time
143
00:18:00,245 --> 00:18:02,914
was that Kimberly was still in bed,
144
00:18:03,015 --> 00:18:08,286
even when we opened the door,
which was kind of suspicious
145
00:18:08,387 --> 00:18:10,922
due to the length of time
that we had been there
146
00:18:11,023 --> 00:18:15,059
and how loud we were being with
our announcements
147
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,494
given that time of night.
148
00:18:44,756 --> 00:18:46,757
Investigators then ask Kimberly
149
00:18:46,859 --> 00:18:49,727
to come to the station for questioning.
150
00:18:49,828 --> 00:18:54,632
Detective Joe Paul sits
first chair for the interview.
151
00:19:03,108 --> 00:19:06,477
Kimberly was very aloof.
152
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:08,146
She didn't know what was going on,
153
00:19:08,247 --> 00:19:10,281
she didn't understand why she was there,
154
00:19:10,382 --> 00:19:13,251
why we wanted to talk to her.
155
00:19:13,352 --> 00:19:17,088
She genuinely seemed like she
didn't know what was going on.
156
00:19:18,123 --> 00:19:19,690
Kimberly tells detectives
157
00:19:19,791 --> 00:19:23,528
that she returned home
from work around 12:55 A.M.,
158
00:19:23,629 --> 00:19:24,996
after speaking with Gabriel,
159
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:28,332
and claims she was alone for
the rest of the evening.
160
00:20:16,715 --> 00:20:20,184
161
00:20:20,285 --> 00:20:21,686
Her reaction seemed genuine...
162
00:20:21,787 --> 00:20:23,921
She genuinely seemed like she didn't know
163
00:20:24,022 --> 00:20:26,290
that Gabriel was gone.
164
00:20:59,691 --> 00:21:01,892
She didn't name anybody specifically,
165
00:21:01,994 --> 00:21:04,262
but she started to get into all these guys
166
00:21:04,363 --> 00:21:07,164
that she was involved with
sexually in addition to Gabriel,
167
00:21:07,266 --> 00:21:08,933
saying that Gabriel didn't know about them
168
00:21:09,001 --> 00:21:11,469
and they didn't know about Gabriel.
169
00:21:11,570 --> 00:21:12,536
But we're starting to think that
170
00:21:12,638 --> 00:21:14,105
there's a little bit more to this story
171
00:21:14,206 --> 00:21:19,277
as far as some of these people
who Kimberly's involved with.
172
00:21:19,378 --> 00:21:21,979
Detectives then ask Kimberly more about
173
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,148
what she was doing that night.
174
00:21:39,965 --> 00:21:44,602
It seemed really strange
that Kimberly was... she claimed
175
00:21:44,703 --> 00:21:48,406
to have been sound asleep
and didn't really know why
176
00:21:48,507 --> 00:21:50,141
police were knocking at her door.
177
00:21:50,242 --> 00:21:51,909
And here, her boyfriend
178
00:21:52,010 --> 00:21:54,779
had just been shot and killed
outside of her apartment.
179
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,915
Her response was very bizarre
to us.
180
00:22:16,301 --> 00:22:17,935
We will employ the tactic
181
00:22:18,036 --> 00:22:23,040
of having multiple detectives
talk with Kimberly.
182
00:22:23,141 --> 00:22:28,479
I myself went in last to talk with Kimberly,
183
00:22:28,580 --> 00:22:32,183
because I had been made aware
of the other statements
184
00:22:32,284 --> 00:22:35,086
that she had given to the other officers,
185
00:22:35,187 --> 00:22:39,924
and I knew that, very likely,
based on her mannerisms
186
00:22:40,025 --> 00:22:43,594
and the way in which she was
responding to the two detectives
187
00:22:43,695 --> 00:22:49,934
who were males, that she
may respond more openly to me.
188
00:23:14,926 --> 00:23:20,831
She was definitely telling me
portions of the truth,
189
00:23:20,932 --> 00:23:25,069
but I was very critical of the details
190
00:23:25,170 --> 00:23:27,204
that she was not providing.
191
00:24:10,882 --> 00:24:11,949
It was very clear to me
192
00:24:12,050 --> 00:24:14,885
that she was not
going to share information
193
00:24:14,986 --> 00:24:19,390
that was going to help me
further the case investigatively
194
00:24:19,491 --> 00:24:22,126
and, at that point, without much information.
195
00:24:22,227 --> 00:24:24,995
I was going to have to let her walk.
196
00:24:28,166 --> 00:24:34,071
Over 24 hours have passed
since Gabriel Montanez was shot.
197
00:24:34,172 --> 00:24:38,309
Out of leads, detectives return
to canvass the neighborhood,
198
00:24:38,410 --> 00:24:42,079
looking for surveillance video
from the night of the shooting.
199
00:24:42,180 --> 00:24:44,415
We located surveillance video
200
00:24:44,516 --> 00:24:47,585
at a gas station which was kitty-corner
201
00:24:47,686 --> 00:24:50,421
to the scene of the crime.
202
00:24:50,522 --> 00:24:53,624
Detectives return to
the station to review the footage
203
00:24:53,725 --> 00:24:57,061
from shortly before the time of the murder.
204
00:24:57,162 --> 00:24:58,462
We watched the video
205
00:24:58,563 --> 00:25:04,435
and we saw a buick pull into the parking lot.
206
00:25:04,536 --> 00:25:06,637
We're able to get the plate, we run the plate,
207
00:25:06,738 --> 00:25:08,539
and who's it registered to?
208
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:09,640
Kimberly.
209
00:25:18,483 --> 00:25:22,086
Kalamazoo police have
obtained security camera footage
210
00:25:22,187 --> 00:25:23,687
showing a car registered
211
00:25:23,788 --> 00:25:25,022
to Gabriel Montanez's girlfriend, Kimberly,
212
00:25:25,123 --> 00:25:30,127
near the crime scene
just moments before his murder.
213
00:25:30,228 --> 00:25:33,264
When I learn the time difference
214
00:25:33,365 --> 00:25:35,900
between the time stamp on the video
215
00:25:36,001 --> 00:25:39,870
as well as the time
that Kimberly had told me
216
00:25:39,971 --> 00:25:41,505
that she came home from work,
217
00:25:41,606 --> 00:25:44,408
and had tucked in, and never went out again,
218
00:25:44,509 --> 00:25:51,615
it's concerning to me that her
vehicle is at the gas station,
219
00:25:51,716 --> 00:25:56,086
and why she didn't share
that information with me.
220
00:25:56,187 --> 00:25:58,489
Detectives continue watching the footage
221
00:25:58,590 --> 00:26:02,326
and notice a man exiting Kimberly's car.
222
00:26:02,427 --> 00:26:04,295
One of the people in the vehicle
223
00:26:04,396 --> 00:26:06,564
is a subject who I'm familiar with...
224
00:26:06,665 --> 00:26:08,699
I've dealt with in the past.
225
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,302
And that individual's name
is Ellis.
226
00:26:13,805 --> 00:26:15,973
While detectives search for Ellis,
227
00:26:16,074 --> 00:26:19,877
Gabriel's family mourns his loss.
228
00:26:19,978 --> 00:26:22,212
My daughter had her quincea�era
229
00:26:22,314 --> 00:26:26,650
and that is a celebration of turning 15...
230
00:26:26,751 --> 00:26:30,554
It's a celebration of becoming a young lady.
231
00:26:30,655 --> 00:26:38,228
And her father Gabriel
had one of the biggest roles.
232
00:26:38,330 --> 00:26:43,133
That's just one monumental
highlight of my daughter's life
233
00:26:43,234 --> 00:26:44,802
that he's going to miss.
234
00:26:44,903 --> 00:26:46,670
He's going to miss
walking her down the aisle.
235
00:26:46,771 --> 00:26:48,806
He's going to miss her first baby.
236
00:26:48,907 --> 00:26:50,674
He's going to miss when she graduates
237
00:26:50,775 --> 00:26:53,177
high school or college.
238
00:26:53,278 --> 00:26:55,279
There will constantly be reminders
239
00:26:55,380 --> 00:27:00,551
of how much we miss him and how
he was taken far, far too soon.
240
00:27:13,365 --> 00:27:14,498
Acting on a tip,
241
00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:17,768
investigators managed to track down Ellis
242
00:27:17,869 --> 00:27:20,971
and find out why he was in Kimberly's car.
243
00:27:22,407 --> 00:27:26,543
When we located Ellis
and attempted to interview him,
244
00:27:26,645 --> 00:27:31,015
we were in a block
in the neighborhood of kalamazoo
245
00:27:31,116 --> 00:27:33,784
that is heavily traveled.
246
00:27:33,885 --> 00:27:36,053
We were on the front yard of a residence
247
00:27:36,154 --> 00:27:41,592
and Ellis actually had
his toddler son with him.
248
00:27:41,693 --> 00:27:44,194
And I began talking with him,
249
00:27:44,295 --> 00:27:47,431
trying to ask for his cooperations.
250
00:27:57,008 --> 00:27:59,143
He denied that that was him.
251
00:27:59,244 --> 00:28:02,146
There's a medley of reasons
as to why a person
252
00:28:02,247 --> 00:28:04,915
would be shown a video where they are
253
00:28:05,016 --> 00:28:07,751
obviously the person depicted in the video
254
00:28:07,852 --> 00:28:10,521
and then deny that it's them.
255
00:28:10,622 --> 00:28:12,690
In this situation, I believe
256
00:28:12,791 --> 00:28:16,894
that Ellis was concerned
about his safety...
257
00:28:16,995 --> 00:28:19,930
Was concerned about
the safety of his child.
258
00:28:47,092 --> 00:28:51,562
I asked Ellis where he was
during the murder,
259
00:28:51,663 --> 00:28:53,263
during that time frame.
260
00:28:53,364 --> 00:28:55,733
He used his girlfriend as his alibi...
261
00:28:55,834 --> 00:28:59,636
He said that he was with
his girlfriend Samantha.
262
00:28:59,738 --> 00:29:03,607
So at that point,
I knew that she was next
263
00:29:03,708 --> 00:29:07,044
on my list of people to interview.
264
00:29:10,315 --> 00:29:11,415
The following day,
265
00:29:11,516 --> 00:29:12,449
detectives ask Ellis's girlfriend, Samantha,
266
00:29:12,550 --> 00:29:17,488
to speak with them at the station.
267
00:29:17,589 --> 00:29:21,892
I asked her what she knew about Ellis
268
00:29:21,993 --> 00:29:23,927
and his involvement in this crime.
269
00:29:37,142 --> 00:29:39,443
Samantha claims that she and Ellis
270
00:29:39,544 --> 00:29:43,180
are not living together anymore,
and rarely have contact.
271
00:29:45,049 --> 00:29:50,587
Detective rivard asked Samantha
when she last saw Ellis.
272
00:30:16,548 --> 00:30:21,418
I did use the video
that we had obtained of Ellis
273
00:30:21,519 --> 00:30:26,590
as a convincing point to try
to get Samantha to understand
274
00:30:26,691 --> 00:30:31,728
that we had evidence,
we know that Ellis is involved,
275
00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:35,999
and that she needed to cooperate.
276
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:38,202
Confronted with this information,
277
00:30:38,303 --> 00:30:40,604
Samantha comes clean.
278
00:30:48,847 --> 00:30:52,616
She told me that Ellis had admitted to her
279
00:30:52,717 --> 00:30:54,918
that he was there,
280
00:30:55,019 --> 00:30:58,856
but he would not tell her
who had been killed
281
00:30:58,957 --> 00:31:00,357
or who he was with.
282
00:32:06,658 --> 00:32:08,759
As the interview came to a close,
283
00:32:08,860 --> 00:32:10,227
it was very clear to me
284
00:32:10,328 --> 00:32:14,531
that Samantha was not going to
cooperate any further with me,
285
00:32:14,632 --> 00:32:18,535
and it was very evident to me
that there was some type
286
00:32:18,636 --> 00:32:22,439
of pressure that was being put on Ellis.
287
00:32:25,910 --> 00:32:28,245
Since Ellis isn't talking,
288
00:32:28,346 --> 00:32:31,581
detectives try a different approach.
289
00:32:31,683 --> 00:32:35,819
They obtain a search warrant
for Kimberly's car,
290
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,555
knowing Ellis had been inside.
291
00:32:38,656 --> 00:32:41,258
Several things in the car that we found
292
00:32:41,359 --> 00:32:45,195
were items that belong to Kimberly.
293
00:32:45,296 --> 00:32:51,234
We also found belongings that
belong to Gabriel Montanez.
294
00:32:51,336 --> 00:32:55,238
And we also located a spent shell casing.
295
00:32:55,340 --> 00:32:58,775
That spent shell casing was a .40 caliber
296
00:32:58,876 --> 00:33:03,313
and that .40 caliber matched the wounds
297
00:33:03,414 --> 00:33:07,517
that Gabriel had received
during the homicide.
298
00:33:07,618 --> 00:33:10,620
They also discover
a number of traffic citations
299
00:33:10,722 --> 00:33:12,556
in the glove box,
300
00:33:12,657 --> 00:33:17,361
made out to a man named Cornell head.
301
00:33:17,462 --> 00:33:21,732
We now know that Kimberly
is somehow involved.
302
00:33:21,833 --> 00:33:25,602
We want to know at this point
why there is a shell casing
303
00:33:25,703 --> 00:33:27,270
in the vehicle.
304
00:33:27,372 --> 00:33:30,340
Detectives bring
Kimberly back into the station
305
00:33:30,441 --> 00:33:31,808
for questioning.
306
00:33:46,758 --> 00:33:49,026
During the second interview,
307
00:33:49,127 --> 00:33:52,629
Kimberly was a lot more cooperative.
308
00:34:06,911 --> 00:34:08,111
And during that interview,
309
00:34:08,212 --> 00:34:12,916
she then revealed that
she had been in her vehicle.
310
00:34:59,730 --> 00:35:02,999
I could tell that she was
getting close to the point
311
00:35:03,067 --> 00:35:07,137
where she wanted to lift
that load that she had on her
312
00:35:07,205 --> 00:35:10,107
as to who had done this crime.
313
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:49,012
And that was the point
when I knew we had the shooter.
314
00:35:57,321 --> 00:36:00,257
Kimberly, the girlfriend of Gabriel Montanez,
315
00:36:00,358 --> 00:36:03,426
has just provided detectives
with the name of the person
316
00:36:03,528 --> 00:36:05,862
she says shot and killed him.
317
00:36:11,402 --> 00:36:14,971
She admitted to me that there
was another person
318
00:36:15,072 --> 00:36:18,141
in the vehicle along with her that night,
319
00:36:18,242 --> 00:36:21,678
and that she was
romantically involved with him.
320
00:36:21,779 --> 00:36:27,083
Kimberly's version of events
was that she had picked up
321
00:36:27,185 --> 00:36:30,520
Cornell head when she arrived
home from work,
322
00:36:37,762 --> 00:36:42,599
And that they left,
along with Ellis, in the car,
323
00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:47,437
went to McDonald's, and then
went to the gas station.
324
00:36:47,538 --> 00:36:50,540
She then said that they returned
back to the parking lot
325
00:36:50,641 --> 00:36:52,676
and they were all eating.
326
00:36:52,777 --> 00:36:54,678
She was in the driver's seat,
327
00:36:54,779 --> 00:36:57,214
Cornell was in the front passenger seat,
328
00:36:57,315 --> 00:37:00,317
and Ellis was seated behind her.
329
00:37:02,386 --> 00:37:07,390
She said that she looked out
the rear passenger-side window
330
00:37:07,491 --> 00:37:12,762
and she saw Gabe approaching Cornell's door.
331
00:37:12,863 --> 00:37:15,365
The next thing she heard
was Cornell's door open.
332
00:37:24,842 --> 00:37:30,847
At that point then, she fled
inside of her apartment and hid.
333
00:37:30,948 --> 00:37:34,851
Investigators dig
into Cornell head's background.
334
00:37:34,952 --> 00:37:39,589
I was familiar with Cornell head
from previous involvements.
335
00:37:39,690 --> 00:37:41,224
I needed to locate him.
336
00:37:41,325 --> 00:37:45,028
I learned the has been arrested
in Chicago.
337
00:37:45,129 --> 00:37:50,634
Detective rivard
travels to Chicago to interview him.
338
00:37:50,735 --> 00:37:52,135
She starts the interview
339
00:37:52,236 --> 00:37:55,205
by bringing up Kimberly
and Gabriel's relationship
340
00:37:55,306 --> 00:37:57,741
to see how Cornell will react.
341
00:38:39,850 --> 00:38:42,352
One of the tactics that I used
was to tell him
342
00:38:42,453 --> 00:38:47,691
that I knew that Kimberly
had not been honest with him.
343
00:38:47,792 --> 00:38:51,928
That she had in fact rekindled
her relationship with Gabriel
344
00:38:52,029 --> 00:38:54,764
and that she was seeing him
at the same time
345
00:38:54,865 --> 00:38:57,067
that she was seeing Cornell.
346
00:38:57,168 --> 00:38:59,769
This affected Cornell.
347
00:38:59,870 --> 00:39:02,772
He really loved Kimberly.
348
00:39:02,873 --> 00:39:05,809
It was very clear
when I was talking with him
349
00:39:05,910 --> 00:39:12,215
that he had no idea
that she had cheated on him.
350
00:39:12,316 --> 00:39:15,985
Hearing this, Cornell changes his story.
351
00:39:16,087 --> 00:39:19,055
He admits to shooting Gabriel
when they saw him
352
00:39:19,156 --> 00:39:21,791
as they pulled into the parking lot.
353
00:39:24,395 --> 00:39:26,529
He opened the door from the outside
354
00:39:26,630 --> 00:39:31,468
and Gabriel started to swing a
fist at Cornell.
355
00:39:31,569 --> 00:39:35,372
Cornell instantly said that
he pulled his gun
356
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:41,344
from his waistband and he fired
the weapon at Gabriel.
357
00:40:16,781 --> 00:40:19,249
Cornell head is arrested and charged
358
00:40:19,350 --> 00:40:20,984
with second-degree murder.
359
00:40:21,085 --> 00:40:23,286
On November 6th, 2018,
360
00:40:23,387 --> 00:40:27,190
he is sentenced to
30 to 50 years in prison.
361
00:40:27,291 --> 00:40:31,528
This was a situation where
I think Kimberly was was really
362
00:40:31,629 --> 00:40:35,632
kind of playing mind games
with both Cornell and Gabriel,
363
00:40:35,733 --> 00:40:38,501
filling their heads with
with different ideas and things,
364
00:40:38,602 --> 00:40:43,206
and maybe thinking that Cornell
was more of her protector,
365
00:40:43,307 --> 00:40:46,976
and painting a picture of
Gabriel being kind of a monster.
366
00:40:50,114 --> 00:40:52,615
This was a memorable case for me...
367
00:40:52,716 --> 00:40:56,352
One I will likely never forget,
368
00:40:56,454 --> 00:41:01,591
because I was able to meet
the family very early on
369
00:41:01,692 --> 00:41:06,996
and learn what a valuable member
of the family Gabriel was.
370
00:41:07,097 --> 00:41:12,001
I want to be able to give
the victims the satisfaction
371
00:41:12,136 --> 00:41:14,170
and the closure.
372
00:41:14,271 --> 00:41:17,073
That's pretty rewarding for me.
373
00:41:20,344 --> 00:41:22,512
If he were really sitting in front of me,
374
00:41:22,613 --> 00:41:26,416
I would tell him
how dare him leave us this soon.
375
00:41:26,517 --> 00:41:29,385
I would tell him
that he is so dearly missed,
376
00:41:29,487 --> 00:41:32,655
and that the friendship
377
00:41:32,756 --> 00:41:37,160
that we were mending really would have been
378
00:41:39,163 --> 00:41:41,197
the best yet to come.
379
00:41:41,298 --> 00:41:45,368
And he's just sorely missed.
380
00:42:06,390 --> 00:42:10,360
We keep him in our hearts
381
00:42:10,461 --> 00:42:14,664
and we always talk about him every birthday,
382
00:42:14,765 --> 00:42:18,535
every Christmas, every Thanksgiving.
383
00:42:18,636 --> 00:42:22,705
We always keep him alive in memory
384
00:42:22,806 --> 00:42:25,708
and talking about him with everybody,
385
00:42:25,809 --> 00:42:30,213
not in a sad way, but in a happy way,
386
00:42:30,314 --> 00:42:32,782
just to remember the good times.
