Teen Killer Forced To Tell Mom About His Crimes | Forensic Files

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
