And then, once we solve,

but that's when I have to.

Hoovers,

we all know about Hoovers,

I lived with them all my life,

and I know they ain't no joke.

And that's one

gang I'm afraid of.

But at the same time, it's

like let's be realistic here,

are we doing this

for Oznay, or we not?

I will tell you right

now, I know the fear is

the retaliation of his friends.

What he did was, not for

the benefit of the gang...

No it wasn't.

- It was personal.

It was personal, so you think

the gang is gonna stick up

and do certain things

that will get themselves

into more trouble?

And no gang accepts a

guy killin' a girl over

somethin' stupid, you know,

it was an argument, it was...

- That was not business.

You know, gangs are

about business too.

I agree.

It's about money.

I agree.

Look, let's identify

who this person is,

and then Myra and I will

do our job to try to remove

the family members

as much as possible.

We have other techniques.

The longer we wait...

The longer, I know,

48 Hours taught me that.

- Thank you.

It will be a distant memory,

your cousin will be

a distant memory.

I know.

I don't want that,

that's not fair.

I agree.

This family hasn't

been back to the house

since the night of the incident.

Every time she went up

and down the stairs,

'cause that's where

she held her daughter.

I feel really bad.

Ah yeah, you know

it took everything for me

not to cry.

You and I are weak

like that, you know that?

- You feel horrible for 'em.

You know, 'cause it's reality,

it's not tv, it's not,

this is real, real

people's lives.

This takes a toll.

About midnight,

got called by the

southeast watch commander

that we had a homicide here

on 95th Street by 95th and Fig.

Female, black, was shot

and killed as she was

walking on the sidewalk.

Was probably a group of

other individuals out,

when a light-colored

sedan or SUV drove by,

depending on the

witness's statement,

shot multiple times, she

got struck by gunfire.

Latorria, L-A-T-O-R-R-I-A.

Patrol units respond,

paramedics respond,

they pronounced her

deceased here at the scene,

so by the time I get here,

the scene's already secured.

Had some idea where some

pieces of evidence were.

Had some fired casings,

had some cell phones

that probably belonged to our

victim, after she got shot.

Couple a ice tea cans, and

one was still half full.

That would indicate there

was more people out here.

So it's that type a stuff

that we're just kinda

processing the crime scene.

There was a van,

obviously, close by.

Did you find

somethin' else in it?

- Yeah, perfectly intact bullet.

Oh there it is, right

there in the window, yeah.

Very nice.
