Code 94-G, shots fired.
My name is Steven Seagal.
All units respond.
That's right, Steven Seagal, Deputy Sheriff.
Okay, guys, you got that? We got to be on the lookout for a silver vehicle that's driving erratically.
Looks like the occupant may be very drunk.
Roger.
Whoa.
Is that the silver car? Yeah, that's him.
That's him.
That's him.
Man, he's on the wrong side, Johnny.
Yep, yep, yep.
There he is.
Oh, .
Going against traffic, Johnny.
Oh, me.
Man, he's on the wrong side, Johnny.

Get your lights on.
Wrong way, going against traffic.
Damn it, Johnny.
Oh, ! No! Man No! No! Bellview and Jefferson Highway.
Get me an ambulance.
Mother, man.
Damn it.
and start medical and the fire departments.
It's a pretty bad head-on 20.
This ain't good, man.
I'm gonna go check on the guys in the other car.
Copy, headquarters, emergency unit.
You all right? Silver Honda you put a description out went into a head-on with a white Isuzu Rodeo.
Oh, my God.
Oh.
Go over there and sit down, baby.
Come on over here and sit down.
Sit down here.
Sit down.
Sit down.
You want to come out, man? Go over there and sit down.
With all the traffic on this road, this driver only hit the one white SUV.
It could have been a lot worse.
You want to get out, or do you want to sit here? You might want to leave him-- my leg really hurts.
All right, just stay there.
Stay there.
Stay with us, cousin, all right? Stay there.
Marcus? Yes? We got EMs coming, right? Yeah.
Hang in there, man.
Hang in there.
Hang in there.
Hang in there, man.
Ow! This is bad, man.
This boy's life is at stake.
He could have internal bleeding, damaged organs.
This is a life-or-death situation.
We're gonna need fire department out here for an extraction.
Emergency units coming this way, fire truck to cut him out, because he's trapped up under the steering wheel here.
Man, he looks like he's going into shock, John.
Look at his eyes.
Damn it.
We need to cut him out.
He's not really coherent, you know? Ow! I need you to tell me where it hurts.
Where does it hurt? I'll just kick it out.
Let's open this door.
Grab for it.
Yeah, let's grab.
This boy is hurt, man.
"C" collar? Right here.
Let's get him out.
Let's go over here in the clear.
Over here in the clear.
Hurry up.
Ready? One, two, three.
The driver, he's in critical, for sure.
He may pass away from this.
How we doing? I knew it was gonna be a head-on collision.
I knew very, very well that it was gonna be terrible, because I could see him going into a huge onslaught of cars going in their direction.
I knew it was gonna be bad, and it was bad.
How y'all doing? My foot's messed up.
I know that for sure.
I can feel it.
Let's see if we can get some EMs over here.
How about you, baby? Just a little banged up.
It's gonna be a bad bruise.
I think all of you should go to the hospital.
To be safe, you hear.
To be honest with you, you're all lucky.
The way that guy was coming, hoo.
It's the worst feeling in the world when you see something like this occur when there's really nothing that you can do.
I mean, we didn't even have a chance to catch up with him.
Ah, that's what I was really frightened about.
We don't know why he was driving down the wrong side of the road.
Could have been drunk or high on drugs.
The state police will take over the investigation.
Look at this guy in the truck.
What's he doing? We got a white truck up here swerving pretty bad.
Do you see him? Yeah.
That's it.
That's it.
Pull the vehicle over.
He's not pulling over.
Larry, we got a white truck up here swerving pretty bad.
Do you see him? Yeah.
That's it.
That's it.
Pull the vehicle over.
He's not pulling over.
Pull over! Stop the car.
Pull over.
He just won't stop.
JP-17, headquarters.
Vehicle refusing to stop.
Pull the vehicle over.
Stop the car.
This guy's still not pulling over.
He's drunk or on drugs or something.
See if you can get up ahead.
He's pulling over.
Get out of the car! Get out of the car and get on the ground! Get on the ground! Get on the ground! Remember when I told you to pull over and you didn't pull over? That's what the problem is.
Come on.
Get up.
Subject in custody.
There's a real good chance that he's drunk, and that's why he wouldn't pull over.
Right now you're under arrest for open container in a motor vehicle, and that's just for starters.
Sir, I just got off of work.
I was coming home.
I understand you just got off work.
That doesn't give you carte blanche to break the law.
First name Willie, w-I-l-l-I-e, black male.
Why you didn't stop that car a little sooner when you saw the police? How many years you was in prison? Five years? What you did to get five years? He was on probation and parole for his third and fourth offense DWI.
In fact, he's on a suspended driver's license.
He's not supposed to be driving, period.
All right, let me talk to him.
Unfortunately, we see this over and over again.
About 1/3 of the people who are arrested for drunk and driving are repeat offenders.
Right foot in front of your left foot, heel to toe.
We're gonna administer a field sobriety test, and if he fails, he's going back to jail.
Follow my finger.
You're not following.
Now, I ask you, man-to-man, you got to get some help, man, before you kill somebody.
You can't be drinking and driving like that.
Four DWIs, he's driving on a suspended license, and he's drunk.
We've got to get this guy some help somehow, and I think this may be the way to get him the help.
We're good to go.
All right.
I appreciate it, man.
Thanks.
Let's go.
Jump in, guys.
Let's go.
All right, let's go, y'all.
Man, I'm glad we got this guy off the street.
It could have ended up like that head-on collision the other night or worse.
People don't realize, when you're driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol, any kind of narcotics, or even just the wrong state of mind, not paying attention, you can kill somebody with a car very easily.
Victim was a black male.
Suspects are black male, wearing all black clothing.
An 18-year-old black male was murdered yesterday.
Two black males were seen fleeing in a black Murano.
One suspect has been apprehended, and we're now looking for the other today.
.
40 caliber spent casings were recovered at the crime scene, and we're now trying to find that murder weapon.
All units are on the lookout for anything suspicious.
Hey.
Black Murano, man, that could be the vehicle.
Yeah.
The vehicle that we're looking for was a black Murano.
Just got a radio call of a two-car accident where one of the vehicles matches this black Murano that fled the murder scene yesterday.
Just got a radio call of a two-car accident where one of the vehicles matches this black Murano that fled the murder scene yesterday.
Right here.
Man.
They got hit pretty hard.
That van got messed up pretty good too.
Did you search these guys yet? All right, while they're being searched, let me go talk to the driver of that van.
What happened, baby? How you doing? And it took me a few seconds to get out of the car because I was a little discombobulated.
Shot up her car? That's what she said.
Apparently there was not only an accident but a shooting across the street.
So we need to determine if the suspects from the black Murano were involved.
Bullet hole here.
Bullet hole here.
Bouncing off the top of there.
All down here, here's one, two.
Damn.
Was it the guys in that black Murano? Yes.
I was in my car, actually.
As they shot you? Yes.
I was pulling out to go to work.
How many shots did they fire? Lord, have mercy.
So why would he be shooting at you? Man.
At this point, we don't know why the guys in the black Murano were shooting at this car.
It appears as though the woman was just leaving for work when the gunfire erupted and hit the vehicle and the house.
Anybody see any casings yet? Yeah.
What have we got? Look at that.
Yeah, that's a .
40.
The same caliber as last night's murder, y'all.
Yep.
So the black Murano's coming up this block.
They blow a bunch of rounds into that car.
Mama's in the car.
It's a drive-by shooting, so they're not looking when they come out into this big intersection, and they go to turn, and they get blindsided by that van because they're not paying attention.
That, of course, Drew our attention, because this car matches the description of the vehicle used in yesterday's murder.
And the shell casings match the caliber of the gun.
So the car, the people, and the firearm are all of interest to us.
Were you involved in that murder yesterday? You searched him good, yeah? Yeah.
They just shot up that car, man, so there's got to be a weapon around here somewhere.
We didn't find anything in the Murano.
So we're now searching the immediate area for the firearm that we believe was probably used in yesterday's murder.
You got anything? Well, no.
When I pull up, I hear the boom from the crash.
I just seen a big guy running back here, and then he runs back up.
Then a few minutes later, the little skinny guy with the dreads comes running out.
When the officers first arrived at the scene, they saw one of the suspects running from the wooded lot.
The only reason that I can think of these boys were running back there is if they were trying to get rid of some kind of evidence.
That's it.
That's it.
Yep.
This could very well be the gun that was used in yesterday's murder.
You don't know whose gun it is on the side of the building back there, huh? No, sir.
You boys are gonna have to go downtown and talk to the detectives.
Crime scene is gonna come in and recover all the spent casings.
And they'll do ballistics on those.
I'm pretty sure we hit pay dirt here.
Yeah.
All right, let's go.
Lord, have mercy.
Sometimes people's actions behind the wheel can cost lives.
But tonight, ironically, it seems like this guy's action have led to the apprehension of a murderer.
You never really know when you're gonna be able to solve a crime or how you're going to, but once in a while, you get lucky, and you're able to keep the community just a little bit safer.
Yeah, and the truck-- saw a body in the driveway.
He's laying on the ground? Gonna be 5'3", about 140.
crime scene.
Just so you know, he's got a gun.
