14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: listening as the killer, facetimed and accomplice. After Davis left

15
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: the home, their surviving daughter locked the door and began

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: calling family members for help while trying to protect and

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: comfort her baby brother. That child was the only person.

18
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: That child was the one person Davis did not shoot,

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: say police. Another eight year old boy was not home

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: at the time. Harris County DA Sean tiy praised the

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: ten year old's actions.

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 3: It's amazing and what she did to get help, and

23
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 3: I don't think that there are many adults out here

24
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: that could have done what she did and then to have,

25
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 3: you know, the mental capacity to call her parents, to

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 3: call her grandparents and her uncle to get help there

27
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 3: for herself and her little brother. It's amazing and what

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 3: she did probably helped save her little brother's life.

29
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: Police charged Davis with three counts of capital murder and

30
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: a single count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon,

31
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: but by that point he was already in custody for

32
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: an unrelated case. Police were led to their suspect by

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: a matchbook.

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 4: It takes a one dollar bill, He puts the rest

35
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 4: of the cash in his pocket. He hands that to

36
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 4: the clerk. He's now bought his matches, the matches that

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 4: are going to show up at that field, comparably next

38
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 4: to the car that he sold so he could drive

39
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 4: it to the tour relace of partments.

40
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: The police investigation also led to the arrest of a

41
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: second suspect, whom police alleged ordered the murders. A woman

42
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: who had dated Lagway, who had just learned she was

43
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: pregnant with her fifth child. Alexis Williams also charged with

44
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: three council of capital murder and aggravated assault with a

45
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: deadly weapon. Williams and Davis had been friends since they

46
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: were children. Williams reportedly told Davis that he could rob

47
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: the family home and take what he wanted if he

48
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: would just carry out the killings. She has pled not

49
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: guilty to all charges. Investigators say they connected Williams to

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: the shooting through FaceTime and phone calls, showing Williams did

51
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: not want to be there in person, but did want

52
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: to see the aftermath. More crime and justice news after this.

53
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 5: I'm Nicole parton, just over a month ahead of Sean

54
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 5: Diddy Coombe's upcoming criminal trial, while the hip hop Mogul

55
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 5: is facing new allegations of sexual assault in a civil

56
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 5: lawsuit again, an unnamed individual from southern California referred to

57
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 5: as John Doe, has accused Combs of sexual assault that

58
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 5: allegedly occurred on the set of a commercial between twenty

59
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 5: twenty two and twenty twenty three, according to a complaint

60
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 5: filed in the New York County Supreme Court. This report

61
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 5: was reviewed by The USA Today, who reported it first. Doe,

62
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 5: who identifies as a photographer production assistant, claims he initiated

63
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 5: a conversation with Combs while they were working on a quote,

64
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 5: high profile commercial. According to the allegations, after Combs invited

65
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 5: Doe to his trailer, he reportedly demanded oral sex from

66
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 5: the man in exchange for promises of career advancement, calling

67
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 5: the alleged incident a blatant sexual quid pro quote. The

68
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 5: lawsuit states Combs presented his interaction as a pivotal opportunity

69
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 5: for Doe's career. Despite his reservations, Doe felt compelled to

70
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 5: seize what seemed to be once in a lifetime opportunity.

71
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 5: It further suggests that if Doe did not satisfy Comb's demands,

72
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 5: his career would suffer. Doe, who does not recall the

73
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 5: specifics of why Combs was present at the scene, claims

74
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 5: he is a victim of sexual battery and is seeking

75
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 5: a jury trial. Colmbs's legal representatives issued a statement reaffirming

76
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 5: his innocence, saying, quote, no matter how many lawsuits are filed,

77
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 5: especially by those unwilling to disclose their names and identities,

78
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 5: it does not alter the fact that mister Combs has

79
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 5: never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone, regardless of gender or age.

80
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 5: They added, we exist in a society where anyone can

81
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 5: file a lawsuit for any reason. Thankfully, there is a

82
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 5: fair judicial system to uncover the truth, and mister Combs

83
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 5: is confident he will be vindicated in court. Notably, Texas

84
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 5: attorney Tony Dosby, who is represented Doe, stated quote, we

85
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 5: have diligently pursued this litigation to ensure the voices of

86
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 5: these alleged victims are acknowledged.

87
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 6: I'm Jennifer Goolds. The arc of Lashawn Eugene Johnson's life

88
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 6: has taken a shocking turn, plummeting from the heights of

89
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 6: NFL stardom to the depths of federal criminal charges. The

90
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 6: former running back fifty four stands accused of operating a

91
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 6: massive dog fighting ring. The FBI's investigation culminating in the

92
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 6: seizure of one hundred and ninety pitbulls from his Oklahoma properties,

93
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 6: a record breaking confiscation. This indictment reveals a calculated operation,

94
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 6: a stark contrast to his celebrated athletic career, and a

95
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 6: chilling echo of his prior animal cruelty conviction. Here's Kevin Chambers,

96
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 6: State director of Animal Wellness Action, talking to Tulsa six News,

97
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 6: the punishment needs to be strong.

98
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: The public has asked for that.

99
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: They have made it a felony for that reason.

100
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 6: Federal prosecutors alleged Johnson, under the moniker Malcant Kennels, ran

101
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 6: a sophisticated dog fighting enterprise across Broken Arrow and Haskell.

102
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 6: He reportedly bred and sold champion fighting dogs, some bearing

103
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 6: names like war Pony and boot Stomper, boasting about their

104
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 6: brutal fighting records. One dog hog reportedly achieved eight victories,

105
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 6: evidence of the operation's alleged efficiency and brutality. The October

106
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four FBI raid, resulting in the largest single

107
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 6: person seizure of fighting dogs in US history, exposed the

108
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 6: scale of Johnson's alleged crimes. Authorities claim his trafficking fueled

109
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 6: the illegal dog fighting industry, subjecting countless animals to unspeakable cruelty.

110
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 6: The seized pitbulls are now under the care of animal

111
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 6: welfare organizations. And again, this is not Johnson's first encounter

112
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 6: with dog fighting allegations. In two thousand and four, he

113
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 6: pleaded guilty to state level animal fighting charges. For operating

114
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 6: crazy side kennels, resulting in a deferred sentence that prior

115
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 6: investigation yielded the seizure of over eighty pit bulls from

116
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 6: his Tulsa residents. The federal charges Johnson now faces carry

117
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 6: significantly harsher penalties. Each of the twenty one counts carries

118
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 6: a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a

119
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 6: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars fine, potentially resulting in

120
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 6: decades behind bars. Johnson, a former third round draft pick

121
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 6: who played for the Green Bay Packers, Arizona Cardinals, and

122
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 6: New York Giants, once enjoyed a successful NFL career. His resilience,

123
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 6: particularly after battling lymphoma, was celebrated, but these allegations have

124
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 6: severely tarnished his legacy. Johnson pleaded not guilty at his

125
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 6: arraignment and is scheduled for trial on May fifth. He

126
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 6: is currently prohibited from owning pitfulls.

127
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm Drew Nelson, a young man in California, is at

128
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: the center of public outrage after police officers taste and

129
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: beat him while he was suffering from a seizure behind

130
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: the wheel. The disrespect the violence of the violent way

131
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: he was treated and acknowledging that had the seizure. A

132
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: citizen speaking at a town hall where police chief Josephazquez

133
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: acknowledged their failures that trusts.

134
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 4: It's been fracturing and we need a build to get

135
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 4: that trust back.

136
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: Jack Bruce, aged twenty two, was driving home in Hercules

137
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: April first, last year after visiting his grandmother. He suffered

138
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: his first evertonic clonic seizure. While driving, his car slowed,

139
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: rolled off the road, and came to a stop against

140
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: some trees. He was uninjured but unconscious. A bystander turned

141
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: off the ignition and took his keys. Another called nine

142
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: one one and reported that Bruce appeared to be having

143
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: a seizure. That information was passed on to police and paramedics.

144
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: Three Hercules officers responded on hell Garcia, Michael Thompson, and

145
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: Joshua Goldstein. According to the lawsuit Bruce filed in February,

146
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: all three were aware he was likely having a seizure.

147
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: Body camera footage shows the officers first observing Bruce as

148
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: incoherent and barely responsive. At one point, officer Goldstein told

149
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: another officer, quote, don't move him. He's having a seizure.

150
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: Just let him be, but minutes later their approach changed.

151
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: Officer Garcia began poking and shaking Bruce. Firefighter paramedic Daniel

152
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: Collier arrived and asked Bruce if he had any medical

153
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: conditions like seizures, as he never had seizures before. He

154
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: said no, but appeared confused and oriented.

155
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 4: Go let's get out of the car.

156
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 5: You're gonna get everybody gets.

157
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 3: We want to help you, but you're all right.

158
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,840
