This is 20-year-old Devon Howard.
Devon is sitting in a cold interrogation room alongside his three co-accomplices due to their suspected
involvement in the brutal shooting and murder of 27-year-old Andrew Genocheck.
Coincidentally, all four claim that they had no involvement in the crime whatsoever,
and in fact don't seem to take the situation seriously at all.
Where did you pick her up at?
Relax, it's okay.
No, I'm fine, I'm just fired.
I was involved in the murder of somebody.
Oh, the time is right here.
What the group doesn't realize at this time is that Andrew's murder
was fully recorded on multiple security cameras and shows a man
getting out of 19-year-old Alicia Valdez's car before killing Andrew.
Even more disturbing is that the same vehicle would drive over Andrew's lifeless body before fleeing the scene.
Alexis Ellis, a bystander at the scene, would hear the gunshot go off and rush over to Andrew to perform CPR while her friend Alyssa called 911.
Jeffcombe 911. What is the address to the emergency?
Um, I don't know. I'm just at the corner. It's like Sheridan and 20th. Um, some guy just got shot. And they took off in a silver two-door Pontiac. And he's on the ground. He's like face down. Did you see the person that shot him? Did you see the person with the gun?
Alexis, answer my question. Did you see the person with the gun? She said it looked like a little Mexican dude.
Okay. And it was just the one male in that vehicle or did she see anyone else? Um, he got into a passenger. Um, the passenger seat of the car. Okay. He's hit in the check. He got birds in the check. He got birds in the check.
I'm flipping him over because he's not...
Hang on, he's not breathing.
Unfortunately, Andrew would pass away within minutes.
Even more unsettling is that the same car model
would be seen at a local gas station later that night
where everyone inside would happily buy snacks, joke, and laugh
as if nothing had happened just hours prior.
The footage inside the gas station would identify the occupants of the vehicle
as 19-year-old Alicia Valdez,
20-year-old Caleb Vigil, and 20-year-old Devon Howard Lopez.
While painting these three out-to-be killers just based on their car make is clearly premature,
it's enough evidence for police to file a warrant for the arrest of the three suspects
so they can bring them in for questioning to try and determine if the bunch had any involvement in Andrew's death.
What makes this case so interesting is the amount of blatant lies and misinformation
that would come out during these interrogations. You would think that at least one of the suspects,
would feel guilty and confess, but everyone involved would fabricate their story and lie to lessen
their perceived role in the crime. But at this point, the police have yet to apprehend any suspects.
Their only lead is a lifeless body sprawled on the pavement and two shaken witnesses who made
the 911 call. Police start by questioning Alexis, the witness who called the cops. Remember,
this is an interview and not an interrogation, as currently Alexis is considered a witness rather than a
suspect. But there is something suspicious about her that the detectives want to clarify.
Three years earlier, Alexis was charged as an accessory to murder after her boyfriend shot
and killed one of his friends from the vehicle she was driving. The detective leading the
interview, Nathan Girdis, would discover this information during a brief preparation period
prior to the interview and is curious as to if maybe she had more to do with Andrew's
murder than she was letting on.
We pulled up, we parked in the back parking lot.
My friend got out to go into the dispensary, sitting on my phone, playing on Facebook,
heard the shot, thought it was a firework for a second,
so I looked up and saw the victim face down on the floor,
and the shooter, there was a silver Pontiac in front of the victim,
and the shooter was in front of the car, still kind of standing.
by the victim's body with the gun pointed at him
and then got back into the Pontiac on the passenger side
they hesitated for a minute
which way they were going to pull off
look like they were trying not to hit him
they kind of looked around the parking lot
to see if anyone saw it I was kind of trying to duck as much as possible
I got out of the car
once I saw that they were gone
ran up to him I said are you hit he said yes please help me
call 911
let him know there's an ambulance on the way
sounded like he was kind of
crying. He wasn't saying anything
else. After two minutes, the crying
stopped, so if I went to check
for a pulse, there was no pulse.
Big Nguyen.
Dign. You're right?
Yeah.
Take note of Alexis's posture when discussing the shooting.
She's leaned in towards the officer
and seems comfortable, showing little
signs of resistance. This language
presents truthfulness on her behalf.
So it's unlikely she feels any
guilt, which likely means that her
recollection of events is indeed
accurate to what she believed happened.
So you hear nothing.
The first thing you get that catches your attention as a show.
Okay.
Are you familiar with guns?
That's what I'm in probation for.
How so?
I was dating a guy for three weeks.
He asked for a ride and Sean killed somebody at the King Super
is when Sheridan Hempton in 2015.
So you've heard to get into life?
Yeah.
He was five feet in front of me all that one too.
Got some tremendous luck.
Yeah.
Did you get charged?
Yeah.
accessory to the crime effort.
How does it make you feel?
I don't know.
I mean, it was hard.
I was glad I was able to react like that
because I didn't react like that
with my case.
At the same time, I'm not my PO
and everybody's pregnant and chew my ass for it,
but he didn't die alone.
He knew somebody was there trying to help.
Just being around it, being around the situation.
You're your fault?
No.
This interview clearly showcased the responses suspects make when dealing with discomfort.
We could physically see her subtle movement patterns and how they coincided with certain emotions Alexis was feeling.
Her body language makes sense.
She felt uncomfortable while discussing her own criminal history, which is completely reasonable.
However, when discussing a crime she had no part in, her demeanor changed significantly,
with an open posture and willingness to answer every question.
And with this, we should be now more prepared to analyze the interrogation of a less innocent suspect later on in this video.
Following this interview, police would continue their hunt to find the whereabouts of the three inside the suspected vehicle.
And it wouldn't take them long at all.
Just a few hours later, at 4 a.m., an officer spotted a vehicle closely resembling the one described by a Lexus, driving recklessly, and pulled it over.
It quickly became clear that this was no ordinary traffic scene.
up.
Hi, ma'am.
Hi.
Hey, Officer Lloyd Differt, please.
You can't turn left there.
Oh, I can't.
No, it says there's a big sign up there.
It says, do not turn left.
You don't have a fret plate either.
Is it up in the window?
Yeah, because my thing is broken, so I got to get a new one.
The bracket?
Yeah.
Gotcha.
Okay.
Do you have your license registration insurance, ma'am?
Yes, there's those.
Okay.
There you go.
Grasies.
Alicia about this.
Alicia, got to have your step out for a second.
second. Don't grab anything with you, okay? Just step on out for me.
Yeah, put your hands on your back. You got a warrant, okay?
Why? Why do you have a warrant? You probably know that better than I do, but we're
going to do some research and say exactly what it is. Yeah, they put out a felony warrant out
for you. A felony warrant? Yeah. Do you have anything on you I need to know about?
I don't. Okay. All right. If you want to watch them, I'll pat him down real quick.
I'm just going to sit you down on the curb, okay? You just put your wallet on the top, man.
I'll give it back to you a second here, okay? Go ahead and just put them right behind.
You're not in trouble, you're not going to jail, you're not getting arrested right now.
All right.
Let's get patched down real quick, man.
You can put your phone in your pocket.
Same thing as your partner, you're not going to jail, you're not getting handcuffed.
I'm just doing this for while you're going to be sitting behind us, okay?
Okay, anything in your hood or in your pockets?
Do you know about?
No.
Perfect, okay.
You can go have a seat with them, okay?
Is this your gold phone?
Okay.
officer would discover a pistol inside the vehicle. Caleb had just stated there were no guns
inside the vehicle just minutes earlier, so the officer quickly places Caleb under arrest
so they can safely investigate this increasingly tense situation.
Stand up, man. Stand up.
Charmer's mind your bed.
You're not going to tell me there's a gun in this seat next to you?
You weren't going to tell me that you're going to try to leave a gun on,
on the seat when you left. That'd be nice to know, wouldn't it? Oh, in a pocket full of bullets.
How about this? I'm out to get to the car. Officer, I have a gun on me.
Right?
What's it? One more person? They're all hooked.
Did you let him know that this is in the car?
What is it?
Uh, S-C-C-Y-9-Mill. All four would be arrested following the discovery of Caleb's pistol. However,
throughout the entire process, Alicia, the owner of the car, would stay eerily optimistic,
as if she hadn't yet connected the dots that her arrest was related to Andrew's murder.
Just stay right there for a second.
Let's have a seat over here in this black chair.
If you could possibly find the restroom, I'd really appreciate it to.
Now that the suspects have finally been secured,
detectives would begin the process of individually interrogating
all four suspects, with separate preparation and planning made for each interrogation
and attempts to get as many differing stories and general information as possible.
They would begin with Alicia Valdez, who was allegedly the driver of the vehicle.
They sit her in an open room with a large TV to her left and a digital clock behind.
This is drastically different from the cold, empty room seen earlier in this video.
This is done purposefully. This room is meant to feel welcoming, and,
open. The table creates a subconscious, comforting barrier between the suspect and the detectives,
something that's absent in many more aggressive interrogations. The objective is to get Alicia
to feel comfortable and willing to speak to the detectives. Remember, at this point,
Alicia knows very little about what evidence the cops have. She has no idea that everything was
recorded on CCTV, and they know that her car was there. The plan is to set a trap that
prevents Alicia from denying that she was at the scene, so the more willing she has to talk at the
beginning, the better. That's why they start the questioning off lightly, but it'll ramp up
in no time at all.
Yeah, just let's see you right there. Want some water?
Oh, thank you.
No, I'm going to. He's over here if you want it.
Okay, thank you.
You're all right?
She'll old. Yeah.
It was nice earlier.
Yeah.
The detectives offer her water to immediately try to appear first.
friendly and form a bond. People are much more likely to tell a friend something than they are a
stranger, so this is an extremely important step. You'll notice this friendly demeanor slowly
fades and changes as the interrogation continues. And where do you live at?
Um, right now, kind of a bit of everywhere. Okay. Um, where have you? In my car.
In your car? Okay.
Keep this fact in mind for later on in the interrogation, as the detectives will use it to prove she was at
the scene later on.
We're in the car with you today.
It's your car, right?
How long have you owned that car?
Um, I've had that car for, I believe, about six months.
So six months, about, we've owned it?
Where did you get it?
I bought it from a public auction down in Colorado Springs.
Okay.
Okay, so you have keys to the car.
Have you given your keys to anybody else?
No, the only ones that were there, the ones that were in the car.
Okay, so when you bought the car, there was one set of keys?
And then I had another maid, but they're together.
They're on the same.
Okay.
This is a simple question, and it should have a definitive answer.
Based on what she's just said, the facts that the only two keys are in her possession,
there's no reason for her to be unsure who has access to the car.
She's deflecting.
So you say you've been kind of homeless here recently?
Mm-hmm.
Living out of that truck?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Where else have you been to stand?
Um, sometimes.
with, um, with, um, gentleman and the yellow, I mean, not yellow, green out there.
Caleb?
Mm-hmm.
Okay, I'm all talking about, he also was in the car with your time.
Um, my boyfriend and, uh, another, young woman, I don't know.
Who's your boyfriend?
Um, the boss.
Where'd you meet him?
Um, it's your friends.
Be cut.
If you haven't noticed already, Alicia is extremely nervous.
We're 10 minutes into this interview, and her leg hasn't stopped about.
bouncing up and down the entire time.
She's also been moving around in her chair and avoiding eye contact while answering very simple questions.
Even without the evidence that they'd already collected beforehand, the detectives would likely already be convinced that she played a part in what happened.
Now it's just about exploiting these weaknesses and extracting a confession using everything they know.
And the process starts by establishing a timeline.
Who are the other two people in the car?
Um, Caleb, uh, I met him through mutual friends too.
I haven't really known him that long.
What about the girl? Do you know her name?
I have no idea of her, who she is.
When did you meet her?
Just tonight.
Where did you pick her up at?
I don't know, because I don't know, didn't her like that.
Where were you at before you left to go pick this girl up?
Caleb's.
Was Devonwood there with you?
Mm-hmm.
So you were a few hours of Caleb.
Caleb's house and then Caleb asked you to go pick this girl up, is that right?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
And you picked her up and you were headed back to Caleb's house when the police stopped you?
Have I got all there?
We were headed back, but I, um, I stopped at the 7-Eleven down the street.
Okay.
Which 7-Eleven?
Get some drinks.
One off of a Colpax and Ogden, I think.
Okay.
The detectives now have a story that Alicia is locked into,
meaning that if anything she says contradicts this,
they'll know she's lying.
and they can use it to trap her to put on more pressure.
Alicia, however, is playing a game of her own
and trying her best to dodge questions
and hide certain details from the cops,
but she's fighting a losing battle.
And the cops know it.
How long have you been staying in Caleb's house?
Um, not really a lot.
I'm just trying to get a sense of like
every other night, every night, you know,
five nights a week, just give me an idea.
Maybe like one to two nights.
One to two nights a week?
What were you doing today before you went to the Caleb's house?
Um, mainly just hanging out with my boyfriend.
He's trying to keep me distracted off today.
Oh, because of them.
Yeah.
That's, we all have stuff like that.
I know.
Yeah.
Okay, so where were you hanging out in?
Um, really just everywhere driving.
Driving.
But that was about it.
Okay.
Relax. It's okay.
No, I'm fine. I'm just fired.
Okay.
But Alicia is all too aware that the final thing they did last night
is exactly what police want to know about,
and she absolutely cannot bring it up.
Do you stay anywhere else since you come to Denver
other than Caleb's or your car?
I stayed at those one girl's house.
I don't remember her name.
Like I said, I met her through mutual friends.
but those friends that I did meet her through, I'm no longer really in contact.
Okay, how long ago was that?
He stayed at her house?
A week ago?
A week or something?
Did Devin stay with you at her house too?
Yeah, he's with me all the time.
This is an extremely important statement.
If they can confirm that either Devon or Alicia was at the scene of the crime, they'll be able to lock both of them into it.
The detective immediately realizes the importance of this and forces her.
to double down on her statements.
Now, has Devin been with you the entire time since you've been here in Denver?
And since you, and he stayed with you at her house?
And he's been staying with you in your car or at Caleb's this whole time up until tonight.
Okay.
So has Devin been in the car with you every time you've been out in the car?
Absolutely so, yes.
Now on top of the information from before, the detectives know,
that wherever her car was,
both her and Devon had to have been there, too.
This is where the second stage of the interrogation begins.
From Searchlight Pictures comes Rental Family,

Experience rental family. Now playing only in theaters. Get tickets now.
Where she's guilty. Have an extremely detailed timeline of events. And know she's feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Now, the plan is simple. They want her to give up as much information about the actual murder and the other suspects as possible.
So they can easily implicate everyone else that's waiting for their interrogation.
So the detectives take a short break.
When they sit back down, they plan to switch gears completely.
They're going to heavily apply the pressure
and attempt to extract a full confession.
Thank you, this is pretty apparent to me
you're being truthful about things.
That's also apparent that there's some stuff
you don't want to talk about.
We've been sitting here talking for a while.
I genuinely like you.
I think you're a good kid.
Well, to me, you're a kid.
Well, I mean, I am a kid.
Yeah, you're younger than my daughter.
Okay.
You're up here from the Springs.
You've had some stuff in your life,
but now you're up here in Denver hanging with these guys that you've got, you know, some histories.
Some rough history, not your kind of history, right?
You're kind of out of your element up here, all right?
I don't know that you've got yourself any trouble other than the people you're hanging with,
but these other people have gotten you into a lot of trouble.
Who?
Caleb, for one.
You got me in a lot of trouble.
You just told me, we spent here a long time.
You were very clear that no one else has been driving your car for the last week.
That you and Devon or you and Devon and Caleb have been in your car.
There's a few random people you don't know, but even when those random people are in the car,
You and Devon are in the car.
And that's you staying with that?
Pretty much.
Okay.
It's a common tactic to give a suspect an excuse for what they've done.
In this case, the detective says he genuinely believes she's a good kid
and has just been swept along in what's happened.
It's likely he'll also tell her at some point soon that if she helps them out,
they might be able to give her a much lighter sentence.
It's also important to note that he's still trying to keep a friendly demeanor to her,
and the reason for this hasn't changed.
If he starts to get angry at her now, she might become closed off and refuse to tell them anything.
If anything, he's even trying to seem fatherly, choosing to mention his daughter and calling her a kid,
something that could even be a response to her saying her father passed away when she was younger.
However, all of this is leading up to something.
They're finally going to reveal why she's really there and exactly what they know.
So, remember the day that was rainy, it was snowy, real bad weather.
Friday.
That night, the night before all that snow and rain?
Do you remember where you were that night?
Say, I could not tell you.
Okay.
Do you remember being in a dark parking lot that night?
Okay, look at me.
Your car did at the scene of a murder.
Someone got out of your car, shot someone and killed.
got back into your car and drove away you just told me that you were driving your car all week
you need to tell me the truth uh i honestly i don't recall you don't recall i don't we have
on video i know that the person who shot this guy is a guy i know it wasn't you i know it was your
car you tell me you're the only one driving your car so you were driving the car i mean yeah but
i don't i don't recall being in wherever you're saying
I was...
Picture yourself in this situation.
If you'd just been told
that police believe you were at the scene of the crime,
would your first response be,
I don't recall?
Anybody innocent would be shocked to hear this information
and do everything they could declare their name
and distance themselves from the crime.
Alicia was there.
And now the detectives are more certain of this than ever.
And they're starting to get frustrated.
Honestly, you need to be honest with me here.
I am?
No, you're not.
I do know you were driving the car.
Now, driving the car could make you an accessory to murder.
If you're going to sit here and tell me you don't remember, no one in the world, no one.
You put yourself in my position, okay?
I know you were driving the car.
I know your car was there because I got video of it.
Put yourself in my position.
Do you think anybody in the world is going to believe that you don't remember that?
I don't know.
I just, like I said, I drive everywhere.
Yeah, you would have remembered this, though.
This is a chilling line from the detective, and you can clearly see it almost startles Alicia.
The sight of that man being shot will be burned into her mind,
and being so clearly reminded of it would be jolting, to say the least.
In fact, the detectives didn't even realize exactly how traumatizing it might have been
until just moments later.
Tonight, Caleb had a gun on him.
Did you know he had a gun on him?
No, because I don't just pat everybody down what comes to my car.
Well, you know he owns a gun, right?
You're staying in his place.
You drive with him every day.
Not every day, but...
Well, I mean, so he probably carries a gun with him for protection.
In the parts of town?
Well, really, I don't really like seeing guns and don't really like
pulling out guns.
I think because of what happened to my dad.
Have you seen him with a gun before?
Not really, no, because I don't pay attention.
What happened to your dad with a gun?
Um, he was murdered.
He was murdered?
Yeah.
With a gun.
So this is probably pretty traumatic for you seeing someone murdered with a gun.
I did not see anybody.
It happened right in front of your car.
Like I said, I don't macle.
Notice how quickly the detective hones in on her father's murder and how similar that may have been to this incident.
He's looking for any opening to make her feel uncomfortable and guilty, and as horrible as it may sound, this is about as good as you can get.
So the detectives take one last break to think about their final move and come back with the last and possibly most damning piece of evidence of all.
Want some water or something?
You've been on the other side of this, haven't you?
You've been on the other side of this whole thing, haven't you?
Who's that me?
I mean, you've got a family member burger.
So you've seen the other side of this.
Well, not really.
Oh.
Not really.
They let the man let it go away.
They did.
How'd that feel?
Mm-hmm.
Did they catch him and not...
Let them go?
I mean, the way I see it, it's less so...
Go ahead and live it.
No, that's not all right.
You don't believe that.
When you got stopped tonight, there was a gun in your car.
Mm-hmm.
Did you see the gun that they took out of your car?
I didn't see it, no.
You didn't see it, but they took a gun out of your car.
Okay.
That was the gun that was used to murder this man.
just to murder this man and prove that too that's an easy one the gun was in your car
you're sure it was oh i'm sure it was yes i can prove that that's easy the bullet that we dug
out of this man's chest at the autopsy came from that gun that just came out of your car
that's a fact too your car was in the parking lot where he was shot you tell me how did the gun
and murdered a man, get into your car?
I don't know.
The detectives get very little other information out of her from this point onwards.
But they've already gotten more than enough.
They've heavily implicated her in the crime,
and it sounds as though Devon had to have been there with her, too.
It's at this point that we'll take a break from the suspect's interrogation,
as unfortunately, convicting the criminals is only one half,
of these officer's jobs. And while
all of this is going on, another
team of detectives and officers are
tasked with the brutal job of
breaking the news of Andrew's death
to his family. Andrew's
girlfriend, Jessica, was the only one awake.
So in the middle of the night,
she'd get a knock on the door from
a group of detectives.
All right, Jessica. I appreciate
you answering my questions.
So I have some news for you.
It's not, I'm just going to come out
and say it. Andrew's dead.
You're joking?
I'm not joking.
Andrew is dead.
What happened?
He was shot, and he died in the parking lot.
Oh, my God.
Have you got a radio informer his mom or anything?
You're the first person that was able to get a hold of.
And I know that this is hard to hear.
Oh, my God.
This clip is devastating.
it seems like Jessica had absolutely no idea of any of the events that transpired earlier that
night. As far as she was aware, Andrew was simply going out to get them barbecue dinner. However,
as sad as this is, detectives have to consider the possibility of Andrew having some sort of
connection to the group. For all they know, this could have been a drug deal gone wrong or
some other illegal activity that caused the shooting. With this in mind, detectives would bring Jessica
to the station where they could conduct a formal interview to determine if Andrew had any prior
connection to the group that killed him. While preparing for the interview, a strange discovery
would be made. Police were given an anonymous tip that Jessica's own brother had been planning
to kill Andrew. The two had supposedly a recurring issue with one another that had gotten
progressively worse. This is awfully coincidental and something detectives need to get to the bottom of.
My brother just saw it on the news. They just put it on the news. Oh, did they? Yeah. And then I saw the picture of him on there.
Okay. I bet that was pretty rough. So I received information. Going back a year, maybe two years,
Your brother had threatened Andrew.
Yeah, he didn't threaten him directly.
It was indirectly to me, meaning I was driving him to work one morning and we were having a fight.
And that's when he really unnerved me.
So I told Andrew and then Andrew wanted to take it to the police and the police said your best option would be just to move away from the situation.
So we did.
What was said?
I mean, it was obviously fairly egregious if.
Basically, it was just
probably something to the effect.
I'll just take him out too.
What do you think he meant by that?
I mean, well, the first thought to my head is to kill him,
you know, taking someone out.
Well, these comments from Jessica's brother are disturbing.
Jessica doesn't seem too bothered by it now.
But at the time, they took it seriously enough
to move houses just to get away from him.
But the detective can't just take Jessica's word for this.
Luckily, there are some simple ways that he might be able to
prove if he was involved or not.
What kind of card is your brother dry?
The Pathfinder.
What color is that?
Green. Well, like a dark, forest green.
Does your brother have access to firearms or anything like that?
He's not allowed to.
Why not?
He has charges against him for past stupidity.
Okay.
And I don't know all those crimes because I didn't bother to try to talk to him about them.
The description of his cars
don't match up with the one on CCTV at all
and if he's not allowed access to any firearms
then it's very unlikely that he was their guy
however before they wrap up the interview
Jessica asks a final
devastating question
Can I just ask you one question
Can I ask you like
kind of like
where he was shot
just because his mom
told me that
Um, when he was shot, the witness who saw it, ran to him and stayed with him until he passed.
He was, uh, he was shot in the chest.
Okay.
Yeah.
I don't deserve that at all.
No, nobody deserves that.
From all accounts from what he's been saying, it seems like he was a very good, very good guy.
Yeah.
This question echoed in the.
detectives' heads for the rest of this case. It really seemed like Andrew was a nice,
peaceful man who was brutally killed that night. Detectives would go on to interview Jessica's
brother as well and managed to fully clear his name as a suspect. Caleb, Devon, and
Alicia had no connection to Andrew. This was a cold-blooded murder. This case had just taken a far
more sinister turn, and detectives had to find justice for not only Andrew, but for the rest of
his family. After Alicia's interrogation, they would bring in Caleb, the man who they at this
point believe actually pulled the trigger. But Caleb wasn't planning on making things easy.
His interrogation lasts just four minutes, but opens up an entirely new side to this investigation,
filled with dozens of shocking new pieces of evidence,
all sparked by just one tiny thing that he said.
All right, Caleb.
It's been a long night, huh?
All right, Caleb, I'm Detective John Mione.
I'm a detective here with Denver,
and I'm going to talk to you about your traffic stop,
your friends, and the gun that you had on you tonight.
What's your home address, Caleb?
Fifty, 48.
If you want to talk to me about what happened, your answer is yes.
If you don't want to talk to me, you should say no.
No, I thought of a lawyer.
Okay.
The interrogation ended here, but unbeknownst to Caleb, he gave away a crucial piece of evidence, his address,
and it took police no time at all to obtain a search warrant.
The police open up the guard.
Police, open the door.
Show me hands, come out.
Step up.
Who else is in here?
Nobody does this, sir.
I don't live here.
This is not my house.
This is a friend's house.
If you're in here, make yourself no, do it now.
Police department, come out.
Come out with your hands up.
That was one of Caleb's friends,
and he's one of the three keys inside this apartment.
that would unlock the case for the detectives.
The second was this giant stock of 9mm bullets
that perfectly matched the bullet found lodged inside Andrew's body.
And if that wasn't damning enough,
there was one more piece of evidence inside
that was the most shocking of all,
but the police hadn't even realized it yet.
Instead, they wanted to have a quick conversation
with the man they found inside.
It seems that Caleb was known to this guy as Modelo,
and Devon, as Salern.
as Salencio, often friends of suspects like this tend to keep their mouths shut out of trust,
but this time, well, see for yourself.
The Delo got out of the car, I guess, to go mug this dude with a gun.
Do you drop the wallet on the ground.
Delo unloaded the gun into somebody, I guess.
Whoever was in the car, I guess, Salencio just told me that they saw him get back up or whatever
and they ran him over as they drove off.
That's all I know.
This was everything detectives could have asked for, but what came next was their most haunting discovery of all.
Inside Caleb's house was a receipt from 7-11 dated just minutes after the murder,
proving that Caleb, Devon, and Alicia were indeed the ones laughing at the gas station after the murder.
All of these events transpired over 24 hours, but police had left out one crucial suspect,
Devon, aka Silencio, and it was for good reason.
Police knew Devon was desperate to keep his girlfriend Alicia from getting charged,
so if they could use that against him,
they might be able to get him to admit to the murders.
The mounting pressure on Devon became so intense
that he started confessing to other crimes and robberies he had committed in the past.
What you're about to witness is a 21-year-old
talking himself into over 300 years in prison.
Yeah.
Devin?
Do you go by Devon?
Yeah.
I'm probably going to scare that up.
So if I do, I apologize to, right?
I don't know everybody.
So, Devon, like I said, my name is Mark Spursion.
I'm an investigator with the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office.
You know Nate, right?
You know we're both cops?
Yep.
Okay.
From my, it's been my understanding that when they make
contact with you this afternoon that you were willing to talk to us again. Is that true?
To an extent, yeah. Okay, to an extent. Okay. I just like to start and make sure you understand your
rights because one of the things I don't want to do in this room is violate your rights. You have
these rights and I think they're important to you. So you know where you're at? Yeah.
Well, kind of. All right. I know these sounds good, but I want to make sure that you understand
what we're doing. Where are you at?
Some police station.
Okay.
All right.
What's dating in?
Call out.
Who's the president?
Trump.
The detectives are being perhaps even more careful at the beginning of this interrogation than they were in Alicia's.
They want to confirm that Devon is of sound mind right now, leaving the defense absolutely no opportunity to invalidate this piece of evidence in court.
They can't leave any room for error because they know he's likely only here for one reason.
to confess.
I'm into this investigation somewhat late.
So I kind of want to start out
and ask you, why are we sitting in this room?
Why are we here?
Fill me in.
I was involved in the murder of somebody.
Okay.
That's all.
That's why?
So tell me about it, because it's the reason that you want to talk about it, right?
I just want to get my girl out of trouble because it had nothing to do with it.
All right.
Like I said, I come in late today.
Who's your girl?
I'll leave you about it.
Okay.
The detective's plan worked perfectly.
He's here to tell the cops everything in hopes that he can maybe get his girlfriend out of trouble.
But you can still clearly see how uncomfortable with this he is.
As soon as he's asked why he's here, he goes from sitting perfectly still to,
dancing around in his chair, searching his pockets, and leaning back away from the detectives.
It doesn't matter if he thinks this is the right thing to do.
He still knows he's being checkmated, and he's about to sentence himself to a lifetime in jail.
Want to get her out of trouble?
Yeah, all right.
He had nothing to do with it.
She's not a criminal.
She didn't even been to jail before until now.
Okay.
Was she there?
Yeah, she didn't know anything wasn't happen, though.
She'd have any hand in there at all.
Okay.
I was driving and, you know, you could see that, right?
I'm sure you're...
Like I said, I'm coming into this new.
I learned about this literally this morning.
They asked me to come in and kind of assist, so that's what I'm doing.
Do me a favor.
Walk me through.
Because if you want to get her out of the situation, she's in, she's in.
I understand.
I respect that.
But I need to know what happened.
So walk me through it.
We were driving around, honestly, for nights, having fun.
Drive around, having fun.
Yeah, we like to drive.
That's fine.
We listen to music.
Then we got to head up on the parking lot.
And then from there, I don't really feel like I need to speak on.
Why not?
Because you guys already have pretty much everything figured out.
You guys know who, you guys know, she did not pull the trigger here.
Okay.
That's what matters.
I'm trying to, I'm just here to get hurt out of trouble.
I'm not here to get anyone else in trouble, except for myself, obviously.
Right.
I can tell you is
no one knew that
the shooting was going to happen
it was not planned
so it wasn't planned
yeah I don't know it wasn't planned
on driving to a parking lot of shoot
with some random white guy
were you planning on robbing them
like I said
I wasn't planned on doing
I was Caleb planning on robin
like I said I'm not going to speak on that
this is one of the detectives leading theories
about what happened
they don't necessarily believe that they planned
on murdering Andrew
they think that this was
more likely a robbery gone wrong.
They intended to just steal Andrew's money,
but ended up freaking out,
shooting him and running him over
to ensure he couldn't turn them into the cops.
What makes you guys go at this kid?
Who?
The victim?
The kid that died.
He's not a kid. He's 27.
Right.
He is to me.
True.
Well, like I said, I didn't know the most...
I didn't know if I don't know
I was a plan on anything happening to him.
I didn't know what...
gonna happen to this guy okay when something went off i drove up okay what happens we need to know
what happens well everyone knows you got shot yeah i know that but i'm trying to figure out who shot
him and i need somebody to tell me that well that's not i'm not gonna tell you anything because
i'm sure you guys already know yeah if you guys can't figure that out then there's me because
well let me ask you this what i'm trying to see you know she can pull figure i told you i was driving
Right.
I mean, the f*** can put the rest together.
It's not up to me.
But I guess I'm trying to understand is why.
I'm trying to understand a motive.
I don't know.
I told you.
None of them to do that happen.
I'm sitting in the damn car.
So I obviously don't know anything can happen.
You drive them there.
You put them in that lot.
Unfortunately, that's how it looks.
That is how it happened.
Yeah.
I'm telling you nothing was planned.
Let me ask you this.
We're just thinking of was Caleb,
or do you even know it was Caleb trying just to rip off
get some money?
And it's bad?
We're not perfect.
I've done it's for.
At this point, it's obvious that Devon's lawyer will have told him clearly not to discuss anything that doesn't relate directly to Alicia.
He's only going to talk about anything that might help get her out of trouble.
It's also at this point that the detective realizes that.
He knows that he's not going to get anything out of Devon beyond that, so that's when he decides to do something extremely clever.
He's going to abuse the fact that Devon only wants to get Alicia out of him.
trouble and phrase his next question in a way that forces him to give up some vital
information.
I'm not going to speak on what, like, anything else besides me, Alicia.
Let me ask you this, did you guys talk about it?
What do you mean?
Did you guys talk about it?
Did you and Caleb say, hey, this is what we're thinking about?
Because I'm trying to figure out, did Alicia, she's the one planning this?
Well, he just had nothing to do with any of it.
So how we understand that?
Me and him, me, I'll tell you straight up, me and Caleb together have done
crimes before. Okay. I'm worried about this one. This one right here. This is supposed to go like
that. How was it supposed to go? Like I said, I don't see me to get in all that. It's not
going to benefit me or her. Well, right now we're still trying to figure out her role.
She had. If we can explain her role and there's only two people that can explain her role.
and Caleb. Caleb ain't talked to us. Without us understanding the specifics of how this went down,
and if her involvement or what her involvement was in that, with some explicit extent that we can
go back to a DA and say, hey, this is what's going on. This person was honest. She didn't know
was going to go down. But I've got to know that, but I've got to understand how we've got
planned that. You understand, I have to have some type of specifics to try to sell that.
If you want to try to help or help her. Put simply, if DeVan
wants to get Alicia out of trouble and prove she didn't plan the murder, he'll have to tell
them exactly who did, solving the case for them on the spot. He's been checkmated, because no matter
what story he tells them from this point out, they've got the evidence to prove or disprove it.
Their entire plan was just to get him to talk, and that's exactly what they've done. Now,
it's finally time, they heard the truth.
That's why I'm irritated about this, because I'll know this wound on the bottom. Did you see
the confrontation going down between Caleb and this guy?
Looked like the white dude was attacking the person, honestly,
but that's all the end of it, right before the dude got shot.
Do you remember, when you say the white dude was attacking the other guy, right?
Could you describe it to me?
Look like they were squared up, and the white dude rushed another guy.
Let me ask you, if I stood up, would you show me?
If I stood up and I'm the white dude, would you show me?
Or you be, let me be the shooter and be the white dude.
Would you do that?
Yeah.
So I understand it.
Give me a video.
So if you're the other dude, the white dude.
So I'm the other guy, right?
The white dude's on a band like this and you look like you squared up.
So I run it toward him.
Okay, what's this guy doing?
Run backwards and that's when I heard a gunshot.
All right.
Do you remember stand up again for me?
Yeah.
So how close are they?
Come to me, where...
Talk about this.
Maybe a little further.
Okay.
And then that's when I heard a gunshot go off.
And the white dude is rushing him.
So the right two is closing that gap?
Yeah.
come in and they ever get right on top of each other so there's always a distance yeah it's
always about both their arms so all right both their arms okay did the white two have anything
in his hand i couldn't see i saw the last interview i wasn't really looking for details i was
kind of confusing what's going on okay all right this guy not the white dude the other guy
hands together hands apart he's kind of like no he was
down like this, trying to tell the dude back up.
Okay. And that's when
the White Duke kept rushing. I'm assuming
maybe you're trying to reach for the gun, I don't know.
Okay. That's when the shot goes on.
Was a gun on the right hand in?
I can't remember.
Okay. But he had one hand up and the other hand back.
Yeah. Is that right?
Yeah. Okay.
Getting a suspect to act out
an incident is a great way of proving
they actually knew what happened.
They may be able to match the movements to the CCTV footage
or witness accounts, and a defense team
will have a hard time arguing that
anything here could be misinterpreted.
From what Devon is saying, it seems as though there was a struggle between Caleb and Andrew,
where the shooter approached Andrew who quickly tried to defend himself.
It's becoming increasingly obvious that this was intended to be a robbery,
but when Andrew tried to fight back, it turned into a murder in the blink of an eye.
So when these guys are in your windshield, are they across from each other?
Like, you're looking at the sides of each other?
They're like this.
The position kind of like this.
Did you draw for me?
The white dudes, I can't draw.
But the white dudes standing.
They're both standing. White dude's closer to me.
It's kind of like this.
All right.
So you're the driver, right?
White dude's closer to the front of the car?
Yeah, kind of.
All right, so if you're looking, are you looking at his back?
You're looking at his side?
It's looking at his front.
Kind of like that.
Like this?
Where's the other guy?
Right.
I thought where he is.
I'm kidding.
Where's the other guy?
They're like that literally.
And then, but it's a little more this way and I'm a little more back.
So this way?
Yeah.
seeing of this guy, his front.
I'm not paying attention to him. I'm paying attention to this guy.
Okay. And you think you see him
kind of rushed? No, he did rush.
Okay, so he rushes.
But not to the point where they're on top of each other.
No, they didn't get it.
The other person was backpedaling.
Okay, so this person's moving back.
Arm up? They've been backpedaling the whole time.
That's when the shock goes off.
Okay.
Tell me where Caleb's arms are at.
Oh, yeah.
Like I'm not even saying it was him.
Again, it sounds as though as soon as Andrew realized he was being robbed,
he started to go on the offensive, forcing Caleb backwards.
According to Devon, he then tried rushing Caleb,
which scared Caleb into shooting him.
They're slowly closing in on the truth here, but not quite there yet,
which is why they're still trying to play some tricks on Devon to try and get everything out of him.
Devon hasn't admitted that the shooter was Caleb,
but notice how the detectives are consistently naming him as the shooter throughout the story.
They're trying to get Devon to go along,
with it and agree or accidentally admit it himself, but he's not slipping up. However, the
detectives are relentless and don't stop trying for another hour of tireless interrogation. It's then
that Devon finally makes a mistake. What else are you going to go down? What else are you guys
talk about? You on here? I can't remember all that. Like you said, it's not just work on memory
memorizing. No, that'd be you care about it. I'd be an emotional conversation. Not really.
I mean, I mean, like, don't get me wrong.
I mean, I don't know the dude.
So, I mean, it's fucked up.
They just died because I don't know him.
I don't know who he is, what he's the kind of person he is or any of that.
But it didn't really strike me emotionally because I don't have that many emotions for it.
I used to do much and much.
So, like, it doesn't really, I mean, I don't really have many emotions about it except for him.
I'm pissed that.
He's in jail for us.
I think that he died, of course, because I don't know the guy.
I'm always pissed about that.
Was Caleb pissed?
Would Taylor piss?
Yeah.
We just shot some money.
Imagine you're in this position.
You're trying to hide the facts that your friend shot an innocent man.
But the detectives have been taking that fact for granted for the past two hours.
They've been using his name, asking questions about details,
and refusing to accept the fact that it might not have been him.
Eventually, you would internalize.
this idea and forget that you even need to lie.
That's what just happened here.
And it's why Devon barely even realizes that he's just confirmed that Caleb was in fact
the shooter.
Of course, there were mountains of evidence against him anyway, but now they have it straight
from the source, and a conviction will be easy.
The detectives now only have one last question.
Was this really an accident?
Or had they planned this out as a murder from minute one?
Do you remember what he said?
Hmm.
Is he panicked?
Oliver's kind of panicked, because like I said, I didn't see it coming.
I don't like unexpected things like this happening because of this situation exactly.
I mean, look at me now.
In here for accessory to murder and I didn't see this.
I mean, if I do something that's going to be planned out and it's going to get done correctly,
so I'm not in the situation.
That's why I was kind of pissed and I'll panic because I didn't see anything about that happened.
So let me ask you this.
If this is your deal, and this is your plan,
you're playing the robbery, you've done.
We've already talked about that.
I'm not asking when, dates, when,
if this is your, you're doing,
it's not going to be random like this.
It's going to be planned out.
Well, yeah, and it's not going to be a random person usually.
So what, Caleb, or this other person we're calling,
it's pretty amateur, right?
Huh?
Pretty amateur.
What, was this happening?
Yeah.
Yeah, well, like I said, it wasn't even planned.
So, I mean, you can't even,
I don't think amateur
The right word is random
It wasn't supposed to happen
98% of the time
I've robbed somebody
It's not random people
Which is why
I'm irritated about this whole situation
Because I don't know who the hell
This guy was
Except for what the news said
But the news always makes
Any white dude who dies
It looked like a peach
So I don't know
But that's why I'm irritated about this
Because I don't know this food
And on the bottom
Devon's main point
End up being that if he had planned the murder
Then they simply wouldn't have caught him
So it had to have been a spur of the moment decision, but the detectives didn't buy it.
And in fact, this approach actually made things exponentially worse for Devon.
The interrogation ended shortly after, but the detectives decided to do some further research into these other robberies.
They ended up connecting him and Caleb to multiple other serious incidents,
including the robbery of a cell phone store the very next day and an incident where they fired shots into a pregnant woman's home.
It was clear that they had been planning multiple robberies,
and were using Caleb's gun as a method of intimidation to make money.
As you could imagine, this didn't look good in court for any of them.
Devon received the highest sentence.
He was found guilty on 18 counts, including first-degree murder, attempted murder,
aggravated robbery, and aggravated intimidation of a witness.
He was sentenced to life in prison plus 279 years.
Caleb also received a similar sentence of life plus 118 years.
The fourth passenger in the car, Eternity Lopez, was also interrogated, but was found to be completely uninvolved.
She was picked up after the murder, so it seems like she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
She was not charged with the incident.
But possibly worst of all for Devon, his efforts in the interrogation room failed to even help Alicia get off any lighter.
She was also found guilty in the murder of Andrew Genicechek and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility.
of parole.
