Hey, what happened? I don't know. Did you just come home? I was down the street. I was down the street. Walking my dog and they shot him. This is 22-year-old Alyssa Blackburn, and she just returned home from walking her dog to find her boyfriend shot and barely alive.

Hey! That's it. I don't know how I had it. I couldn't check my hand to him before. When deputies arrived, Alyssa would initially claim his injuries were from a violent drive-by just minutes earlier but it wouldn't take long for them to start noticing holes in her story he's frantic i think she knows more than what she is saying as i said the same thing i like for all we know she smoked his ass what deputies didn't realize at the time was that alissa

never walked her dog in reality she had been right there witnessing the entire shooting up close as the investigation began detectives would uncover a meticulously planned homicide and a tragic conspiracy with Alyssa right in the middle of it. First we got a witness saying that observed a white male run out of the house. Good gun. Why are you lying to me? You understand me? Stop. Don't start lying to me. Hey, you said, mother, I'm going to shoot you. I'm going to shoot you. And he was shooting him all the time. And it was all going to this damn female. It's all over a girl. You literally have one opportunity to talk about this, otherwise you are.

The Escobia County Sheriff's Office received multiple 911 calls from frantic residents on the 1,100 block of Medford Avenue. Earlier that morning, a driver in a black sedan had reportedly opened fire on a home in a small neighborhood. Hours later, at around 2 o'clock p.m., the sound of gunshots would be heard again, but this time followed by a young man's anguished cries for help. Quickly, officers were dispatched to the scene, racing to piece together what had just unfolded. What we got 3.31, we need him, and some round, gunshot victim inside the house. Anybody else in here?

No, no, but don't open the backroom, please don't go in there. I got a chest to you. I'm a little over there. The first deputies on the scene arrived to find 26-year-old Jessica Hagan lying on the floor in a pool of blood, barely condom. with bullet holes scattered throughout his body. For you shot, bud?

Right here. You said you got a chest in? Yeah. Jesse is experiencing a pressure imbalance in his chest cavity, meaning his lungs could collapse at any moment. With Jesse in the hands of paramedics, the deputies shift their focus to the next critical task, piecing together what had happened.

With this in mind, Deputy Tinch wastes no time, turning to question the only witness present. only witness present. Jesse's girlfriend, Alyssa Blackburn. Hey, what happened? I was down the streets, walking my dog, and they shot him. Who shot him? I don't know. Did you find him like this? Yeah, I just had to kick in the back door and nobody was knuck. So do you live here? He is me. Who is that gentleman to you? It's my boyfriend. Are you the one that called No-1-1?

No. No. Who called No-1 because it was a female? Why are you lying to me? You understand me? Stop. Don't start. Don't start. me. Do you understand what's standing in there? I need truth. I don't tell me you didn't call. You're gonna get me shot out here. You realize that? We're more clear. Get my life too. What's your last name? Blackbird. I don't think you realize that I'm risking you and calling y'all, for real.

Right away, Deputy Tinch grew suspicious after noticing a flaw in Alyssa's account of the 911 call. However, considering the chaos of the moment, he knew it was possible she could be in shock and that her memory was distorted. was distorted. But unbeknownst to the deputy, Alyssa would go on to provide more misleading statements, making her story even more suspicious. Even though her inaccurate account of the 911 call was suspicious, Deputy Tinge knew it could be due to her frantic condition. If anything, this just made him want to know more. Before you left to Walt Gidalg, was he by himself? Yeah, no, there was, yeah, there wasn't nobody else here. And he wasn't like that, right? No, he was not like that. He was fun. He was in the room. And he was not, we know,

on the ground. Who else lives here? This is, I don't even know whose house was, I just got here two days ago, real shit. I'm cleared out. I just moved here. All my stuff's in the back bedroom, but my dog's in there. According to Alyssa, the shooting occurred in the small window of time while she was walking her dog. But none of this would matter to her, as her boyfriend would be carried out in a stretcher unconscious.

The glass, was it broken before you left? Was it out here when you left to walk the dog? Yeah. Okay. Oh, my God. Let's stuff over here. Sure. It's likely, Alyssa, in this moment, believed Jesse had passed away.

First responders were using what's called a soft stretcher, not too different in appearance to a body bag used when the victim is dead. However, Jesse is still alive. He was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and was slipping in and out of consciousness. He appeared to have been shot in the upper abdomen and leg. and was in critical condition. As paramedics loaded Jesse into the ambulance, preparing to take him to the hospital,

deputies could finally give Alyssa their full attention as she was the only witness so far who could give them a lead. But soon, officers would begin to suspect that Alyssa wasn't the innocent victim she portrayed herself as. I don't know, honey, I'm sure he's talking to us, so, yes, because he just gave us a bunch of information, okay? I don't want anybody to see me. I can see you, okay?

Okay. Let's call your parents, okay? Due to Alyssa's seemingly frantic condition, deputies were unable to get any more information from her beyond what she had already recounted. So in an attempt to make sense of the situation, deputies on scene began sharing the information they had gathered, and they quickly started to notice some intriguing details.

So I wonder, earlier it was a drive-by, this was Target House, and then maybe somebody came back? bro, it looks like you got stopped in a house. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Either they bucked up in a house or they know that they might have been in the house.

Yeah. But her time frame is way off, bro. That's the problem. She's like, I asked her who called. She's like, not me. I'm like, there was a FEMA, honey. She was like, okay, I called. And then I said, stop in line to me.

This is serious. She's saying that she left to go walk the dog, came home to this. And the time frame is not four hours ago. four hours ago. Because she's saying she heard the shots. So it wasn't the room. I guarantee you it was. Clearly, Alyssa's story wasn't adding up.

And despite her exaggerated crying, officers were growing more convinced that she might have somehow been involved. But without definitive evidence to prove her role in the crime, these suspicions would remain as just that. Suspicions for now. So officers determined to find something concrete. would begin searching the neighborhood. That's when Deputy Brissette

encountered a neighbor who would claim to have seen everything. I heard two gunshots about this clock this morning, and I saw a little black car, come and go and come back. I don't know if they had anything to do with it, but it was like they just took off from right up here. Did you hear some gunshots?

Yeah, I heard of them. Over here? Mm-hmm. I just see a blamble. boy and a white boy just getting the car and I seen the white boy come out with the good and his hand what kind of uh vehicle um it's like a beat-up old school looking for yoda camera and he came out of the door he said i told him so much to play with me going to be the black boy or white boy that got shot white guy got shot

the one that lived there yeah yeah that's they always go back and forth with with different people okay have you ever seen that car in the area before that white guy Always there. The Camry's always there? Yeah. What these witnesses just revealed was critical. According to them, shortly before the shooting, a beat-up Toyota Camry pulled into the driveway of Alyssa's house.

Two men stepped out, one white, one black, and made their way towards the home. Additionally, one witness noticed something even more alarming. The white male was armed, and moments after they entered the house, gunfire erupted, echoing throughout the neighborhood. neighborhood. With this new information at hand, deputies could finally narrow their focus to two prime suspects, who for now would remain unidentified. As for Alyssa, her role in the investigation was still unclear. It still made no sense why she felt the need to lie about her story. And given Alyssa's emotional state, it was impossible to get anything valuable out of her,

so her parents were allowed on the scene to help her calm down. In the meantime, deputies would noticed the biggest flaw in Alyssa's story yet. She was in there about the house. So she did it? No, no, no. Britsa got a witness saying that they observed a white male run out of the house or the gun. This house is not just two days lived in.

Hang on. Right. Right. So who are they? This deputy just picked up on a very important realization. The house Alyssa claimed she moved into with Jesse only two days. with Jessie only two days ago looked well lived in, contradicting her entire story. With this new suspicious clue, Deputy Davidson devised a genius solution to finally determine

if she was just an innocent witness or if she had a bigger role in the shooting. If I ask the slips here and she says no, she's lying. Why would she lie? All right, I'm just going to go for it. Does anybody else live here with you and Jesse? I don't know who was here and you don't, because there's people here all in and out on, so I'm not going to lie to. There's a dude name. He sleeps off the cops sometimes, I guess. I don't know. I don't know.

Because he was like, I'm going to let you stay here because he stayed in tip. But the way they were talking, it sounded like he just got here. You want to be. Like, they haven't been there. Alyssa finally cracks, admitting that one of Jesse's friends was living in the house with them. This is important because he could potentially be another witness to the shooting or even a suspect. Deputy Davidson would go on to press Alyssa for more information about this friend, but to no avail. And with nothing else to go on, deputies reached a dead end in their investigation.

So far, they knew that two unidentified men had carried out the shooting of Jesse and fled the scene in a black Toyota Camry. They also discovered that others had been living in the house with Alyssa and Jesse opening up possibilities for even more witnesses and suspects. Lastly, Alyssa's account of events had proven quite unreliable due to her frantic condition. So with the unseen investigation at its end, Jesse clinging to life in the hospital, and Alyssa the only immediate witness, the next move was clear. Take Alyssa to the police station for a formal interrogation and get to the bottom of whatever she's hiding. An hour later, Alyssa and her mom would be transported to the police station, placed inside an interrogation room while detectives gathered all the evidence from deputies.

Alyssa doesn't know it yet, but this interrogation would go far worse than she could have ever imagined. You're... You swear to God! I swear to God! No! I don't touch you! Don't you fucking touch me!

There's no reason we have to talk to his by the sense. There's a camera in there. There's audio in here that you hear everything. There's no reason they have to talk this about. You're right. Alyssa realizes she's being recorded and immediately makes her mom aware. It's clear this isn't her first time

in an interrogation room. Unfortunately for her, the cameras would turn out to be the least of her worries. Detectives would walk into the room with a clear plan in mind, figure out why Alyssa lied. If they can press her on the details, she might slip,

giving them a real shot at actually solving the case. I got you there you, David Preston. David Preston. You know, David? How do you know it? Experience. Experience? Yeah.

I got in trouble. Only two times I'm in the trouble. Oh. I don't have to be good. I got you. Well, I'm investigating Martinez. I work with David, so I know. Yeah.

That being said, we want to get some information as far as, like, how long you guys been living there? Who lives there? Two days, two, three days. I just got there home. I don't, like if I have my phone, I can't be exactly what they were let me get my phone.

I don't, but it wasn't, I can't remember where it was, but. Okay, and the only reason I'm asking is because, like I said, we haven't, we have to get a search warrant in order to get the house. So once we get into the house and we look around, if something's missing, like his cell phone.

Yeah. Then maybe we can possibly start tracking it and find it. Okay. No, I'm not gonna question you at all. So that's why I was asking, you know, I'm not asking like to pride, but maybe something's missing and maybe we can track it and be like. I know y'all just try to help for real.

I'm not that type of person. I know y'all are just trying to. Okay. Alyssa has to be feeling the pressure at this point. She's told her version of events several times by now. And yet, investigators keep asking the same questions. Perhaps that's why, after an entire afternoon of speaking to law enforcement, she finally gives them something substantial.

All right. So it's just you and Jesse that live in that house? No, there's two males there, and there was Jesse. But there's people in and out of there all the time, you know what I mean? I mean, it's like literally like a ghetto trap, kind of like, you know, you haven't seen the house? But the whole house is like trashed, almost. I tried to clean it up and I'm all the floors and all kind of stuff like that because I don't know where to go. But there's a dude, I think he's in for sure.

I know because he sleeps on the couch. And I don't know he was getting help from somebody. The dude who lives there, I guess, around a regular, of trying to get off of drugs. Okay. He's black and black, male, white now? He's white. Okay.

Yeah, he's tall. He's real tall. He's like, real tall to me. I'm like five foot. Alyssa confirmed that two other people lived in the house, noting that individuals are constantly coming and going, a detail that could suggest drug activities considering her previous statements and frantic behavior earlier.

But most importantly, she mentions one of the roommates by name. If investigator, can track him and the other roommate down, they may not have to rely solely on Alyssa's version of events, as it's obvious she hasn't been telling the whole truth. So the detective continues to question Alyssa in hopes of extracting another name. Start from what did you do today? Okay, I'm having that. I woke up on the count and he was on the couch across for me. And Justin was sitting in his chair, it's in the living room wherever you. I call my mom and

daddy because I was supposed to go over there. There's voicemail to see him. I don't remember he's that tough. Yeah, but I was actually that lives there. He wasn't there. He was supposed to be going to get a hotel room with a girl the night before, so he hasn't been there. Who's that?

I think he seems... Okay. It starts with... Yeah, but he wasn't there at all. Alyssa doesn't realize it yet, but with the other roommate's name obtained, the investigation has already taken a sharp turn. The detective's top priority is not.

priority is no longer just her story. It's tracking down the roommates she previously lied about who could be key witnesses to the shooting. But before they could get to that, Alyssa and her mother would share one more major detail from the morning of the shooting. We go to my new house where we're building because we're moving into it. We just closed on it. So we go over there. She has somebody else come and get her to go through her paperwork for work and stuff like that because we're moving um and and i don't know who it was uh it doesn't it don't work it though yeah with the fedex and stuff like that and then i got this person come pick you up did you call them to come pick you up or they should up um it's it's a friend um i don't really know

know like that you know what i'm saying jesse doesn't like anybody to know where we stay at all because what he does and obviously you don't know he does you know i'm saying because i told the police i don't know if y'all talk to police yeah yeah okay yeah and um What did they do? Sell drugs? Allegedly. Oh, well, it's important.

I don't even know if I just used that, right? Yeah, he sells drugs. He sells drugs. And what kind of card did this person pick you up? Oh. A black car? Yeah, I don't know what kind of car. It was just black.

It's an older paper that doesn't even have the emblems on it. Did you see it? I didn't pay it. Yeah, it was black. It was black. It was like it was spray painted. I don't know. Yeah, maybe.

I don't know. I know it was black, though. I don't. Like all. Toyota or something like that. It was definitely a small fan. What's the city? It's the car, correct?

Yeah. Yeah, maybe. Well, that's, I think it's a four door. Alyssa's mother just described the same car that witnesses saw fleeing the scene, a black Toyota Camry. But what's even more crucial is Alyssa's own admission. She was in that very car after being picked up by a so-called friend. With this insight, detectives now have a major person of interest. Whoever was driving that Black Camry.

Now their top priority is clear. Identify this man. What's his thing together? Come and got you? I don't know him. So I'm saying. Well, how did you call? Jesse, I didn't call him.

I said I didn't call him. Oh, he just showed up at the house? Yeah. My brother, well, my brother knows him and Jesse knows him and all the kind of stuff like that. Like, he comes around all the time and hangs out with him. I don't assume it myself for people that he died. I'm not allowed to even be at the house by myself. Is he white or but?

He's white, for sure. Can you describe him to us? Well, he's kind of ghetto. I know he's ghetto. He's got tattoos until he's been to jail. 20s, 30s? At least like his late 20. Despite the vague description, detectives can now confirm the driver of the Black Camry

is a white male in his late 20s with tattoos. Combined with all the other information, these details are enough for detectives. are enough for detectives to begin searching. But before detectives wrap up Alyssa's interview, they would have to deliver the tragic news of what happened to Jesse. I did just get off the phone with the doctor's office

and he did not survive. You're sorry, God, he's really good. Don't you? Don't you? Touch you! He's my dad. What? Not here.

We can't leave. You can't leave. God he didn't. Israel! God! No! No! Jesse Gahagen had died.

Alyssa seemed truly upset at this news, even though she almost certainly expected his death, as detectives would come to find out eventually. But while it's not officially confirmed, all signs point to one chilling reality. This is... most likely all an act and it would be revealed soon yeah we get you out of you raise you right here somebody killed your boy yeah i called the police i tried to save his life what is just a man i'm trying to make him do better bro i try to know the only one who gave him about him don't you don't i'm being serious you don't get it no yet nobody

I'm the only one who called the police when he overdone. He's not even his mom again. I'll love myself. Alyssa would continue this frenzy until detectives had to end the interview. Even though she seemed genuinely upset over Jesse's passing, detectives would soon find evidence suggesting otherwise. Nevertheless, the stakes were now higher, as this had escalated into a murder investigation.

At this point, detectives still weren't sure exactly what Alyssa was hiding, but the interviews that followed would begin to reveal the truth. What's up, Mr. Hello, how are you? I'm an investigator over as the one that you ignored last night. Yes, sir. Well, I know you got my text. This is one of Jesse and Alyssa's roommates.

It's unclear how investigators first located him, but what is known is that he was initially reluctant. to cooperate, ignoring multiple calls and texts from detectives. Perhaps he was hesitant to get involved. But when he finally agreed to an interview, he would deliver the biggest bombshell yet. All right, man. So let's start from the very beginning, okay? That's it.

Now, I know before you came in here, he said he knows who did it and who he can get us hooked up with that person and everything else. Because he tried a man catching up with you at Tom Thumb yesterday. So before we get to all the details, who is that person going to actually pull the trip? It's Jacob Colbeau. Okay.

Who was the black guy that was there with him? I've never seen him before my life. Okay. If you were showing a picture of him, would you be able to possibly recognize him? Should be able to. Okay. How long you'd be known in Colville? Colville, I met, I think, 2018, in Walton County.

He was a, we were in the same little pod together in Walton County. Finally, thanks to the roommate, detectives have identified the white man with the gun. 59-year-old Jacob Colville, the same so-called friend, Alyssa, and her mother described earlier. But to the detective's surprise, the roommate had even more to reveal. Colville showed up with his two kids in the car and got out and started an altercation with Jesse, and this is all over a female, this is all over a girl. What's her name, Melissa, Blackburn. I guess Colville's in love with his girlfriend or something. I'm not even sure who the girl liked if she liked either or not and I thought they were supposed to be friends but no as soon as

as soon as the girl comes out of the house and says Jesse's inside they didn't hesitate to oh she was even no they went right inside my house and they go down the hallway and they looked through the first room looked through second room and I'm and I'm at this point I'm I'm playing stupid I'm like what's going on guys I got I don't know what's going on I wasn't watching I didn't have I did not have my head turned turned towards down the hallway but there was two gunshots and I hear you're screaming and there's two guns shots and there's two guns shots. And then by the time I looked down the hallway, I see Kojo backing up, like with

the guns on Jesse. And Jesse looked like he had blood right here, maybe like the stomach and the upper, the shoulder. And even when he was on the ground, he shot another couple rounds, I believe. How many rounds total? I can't. What if you? Yeah, I can't even tell you. Whenever they go cold on the bag, I ran out, went out the front door, they took off. What happened to the DVR? I can bring it, I could show it to you. You have it? Yes, sir.

Okay. And then it came right in the middle room. Yeah, I noticed. What the roommate just revealed to detectives is everything they need to crack this case. It appears that Jesse's murder stemmed from a longstanding conflict that began in an altercation between Jacob and Jesse. Likely during the drive-by incident reported earlier, that morning, followed by Jacob returning an hour later to fatally shoot Jesse. Meanwhile, Alyssa not only fabricated her entire version of events, but the whole altercation

centered around her. According to the roommate, she was in a love triangle with Jesse and Jacob that turned deadly. It's likely that Alyssa had grown fed up with Jesse before orchestrating the shooting with her friend, or perhaps lover, Jacob. This finally explains why Alyssa had been lying all along. She wasn't just a witness. She was an accomplice to murder. Fortunately, the roommate had the shooting recorded on surveillance camera and agreed to hand it over to investigators, providing them with undeniable evidence to bring the killer trio to justice. This incredible stroke of good fortune would continue when the roommate successfully identified Jacob's accomplice from a photo lineup of known offenders. He was 44-year-old,

Lawrence Bonner Jr. The Escambia County Sheriff's Department quickly launched a statewide manhunt, alerting police to stations, and the public to be on the lookout. Not long after, authorities would make a critical discovery. The black Toyota Camry had been found underneath the mobile highway bridge over 11-mile creek burned down to the frame. While the search for the assailants continued, detectives wanted to solidify their case against Alyssa, so they would bring in the other roommate she mentioned earlier, and he would reveal crucial details about Alyssa's sinister role in her boyfriend's murder.

That little black Toyota Camry or Avalon or whatever it was, you know the car they shirt up in? Who's car is that? In the Escobles. He burned it. He burned it. Did he? Well, yeah. So do you remember any of the conversation that was going on in the house? Like when they come back, you told them that Jesse's hiding in the back, correct? yeah okay what was being set out for that nothing they were so quiet they were just creeping through the house looking for jesse and they they didn't find him at first you remember seeing

elissa come in with the gun who elissa his girlfriend jessies yeah she first walks into the house and you're on the couch you know she's she's holding the gun you know we have the DVR yeah yes i didn't have missed that um govill did say um to jesse he said he said my i'm gonna shoot you i'm shoot you and he was shooting him the whole time because Jesse would say that cobal would never shoot him you know what i mean you know where cobal might be right now i have absolutely no idea man we already have one of the three so oh do yeah one of the three there's another person that helped the ballot later really at this point detectives had multiple statements from both roommates that not only implicated alissa but also discredited her alibi of

being somewhere else at the time. Combined with video evidence showing her holding a gun inside the house before the shooting, there was no denying that Alyssa was certainly involved in the murder of Jesse Gehagen. While detectives were wrapping up the roommate's interview, one of the killer trio, Lawrence Bonner, was arrested after deputies surrounded his residence. He was brought into the interrogation room directly across from this one. Detectives didn't waste any time with Bonner and would immediately confront him with video evidence to make him give up Jacob's location.

We want to know why he reached out to you, what he told you, because we already know you participated there, we know you didn't pull a trigger, but at this point you literally have one opportunity to talk about this, otherwise you are, and I'm going to be very straight with you. And if you won't see the video. Yeah, we'll show you the video if you want to see it. Okay. You text, uh, they just ask if I wanted it.

Perfect. How is this going to help me to? man. Why? Because you didn't pull the trigger. I mean, I see your face in there. But I'm still... I mean, you acting like, what the going on? I'm still going to end up going to jail.

You are going to go to jail, but the difference is is whether if you decide to be honest and to help out, and then hopefully the courts will show leniency that you've helped out and you've been honest, that shit went down fast or however it went down. But not saying nothing, that video makes you look guilty as hell, bro.

It's cute All right You ready? He looking for him and he found him yet Oh, there you go Oh shit, he dropped his pistol Trying to get on him. He's like, what the f f***?

Here, hold this gun. There you go, give me that gun, there you go. Oh, let me go ahead and finish him off right here. Snap, snap, snap. No, wait, you're not done yet, Oh shit, my gun, let me get it. Oh, damn. Oh, let me give him one more, which he did right there.

So now you know, we're not bullshitting. Okay, man. Now talk to y'all, man. Now that Bonner understands the gravity of his situation, he agrees to share everything he knows with the detectives, starting with what the three of them did to Jesse. I really don't know him. But you know him by sight, he's seen him around.

I seen him around. You know, he offered me a ride. I tucked the ride, right? Yeah, we put up at the house, the girl in the car, the girl, like, she was just like saying that the dude was something about to bust at the windows, buzzed the windows, or some shit like that there. And then, oh, girl, she's knocking on the door trying to get in. Yeah.

And then she comes back to the car, and she throws something in the car, and then she goes and walks her little dog. and then the rest of itself explanatory we see the shots that happen and all that y'all walk back outside and y'all get in the car and where's the girl does she get in the car with y'all that's yeah don't mind no okay bonner had just admitted his role in the shooting going so far as to confirm that alissa had been present the entire time under pressure from the video evidence Bonner would eventually confess to something even more damning. He had provided Jacob with the gun used to shoot Jesse.

With that admission, Bonner officially became an accomplice to murder. Investigators would wrap up Bonner's interrogation and book him into jail. One member of the killer trio was down, two more to go. A week later, on November 5th, authorities tracked down Jacob Colville in Eustis, Florida, attempting to evade capture disguised in a wig, glasses, and makeup. But his cover didn't last long. An officer recognized him, initiated a traffic stop, and took him into custody. When finally apprehended, Colville was found with a loaded handgun and drugs in his car.

He would reportedly state, I don't regret it, when inquired about the murder. As for Alyssa, a warrant for her arrest was issued, and she was quickly apprehended, held in county jail without bond. While the killer trio's exact motives remained unclear, investigators determined that Colville, Blackburn, and Bonner were driven by a mix of personal vendetta and criminal intent. Their actions were likely tied to drug dealings and internal betrayals within their circle, leading them to see Jesse Gehagen as a liability that needed to be eliminated.

Nearly two years later, in June 24, Colville was sentenced to life in prison for the the first-degree premeditated murder of Jesse Gehagen. Meanwhile, Lawrence Bonner and Alyssa Blackburn were also charged as principals to first-degree murder. As of this writing, both remain in jail awaiting trial. If convicted, they too will likely face life in prison without the possibility of parole.
