0:07
Speaker 1: This is Edgar Delgado. Just seconds ago he fatally shot
0:12
an innocent man.
0:15
Speaker 2: Were you with what happened?
0:17
Speaker 3: I don't know who is the man who's shot. Can
0:21
you tell me the name so I know if it's him?
0:22
Speaker 4: And I don't know.
0:24
Speaker 5: I was with Omar and the one that was shooting.
0:27
Speaker 6: I don't know.
0:31
Speaker 5: He has beard, his light skinned. He's a Mexican.
0:35
Speaker 7: What was he wearing last night?
0:37
Speaker 5: I don't know the shirt, but he's were shut when
0:44
we were save reports of a shooting at Hard Rock.
0:46
Speaker 8: Catino and at Lake Tahoe.
0:48
Speaker 5: One is reported and the shooter is.
0:50
Speaker 8: Ard and size the building. Jenny Allienon miss received an essay.
1:10
Speaker 7: He got some informations in the stiff that constantly less
1:13
in a white putt a forerunner with an histenic atal
1:16
adult about Senegal.
1:21
Speaker 4: Did you know that guy?
1:23
Speaker 9: Did?
1:24
Speaker 4: I just remember? We're talking for like a while, you know,
1:26
and then that's it.
1:27
Speaker 1: At two am on March twenty fifth, twenty twenty three,
1:31
Edgar Delgado enters Hard Rock Casino and meets thirty two
1:34
year old Omar Garcia, where they spend the next six
1:37
hours together drinking and having a good time. But by
1:42
eight am, something begins to anger Edgar. The tension rises,
1:47
an argument bursts out, and Edgar grabs Garcia. Worst of all,
1:51
he pulls out a pistol and points it directly at
1:54
Garcia's head multiple times, but Garcia resists, knowing his life
1:59
could end at any time, and physical altercations ensue. Then,
2:03
for one last time, Edgar grabs Garcia by the neck
2:06
and whispers something in his ear to the extent that
2:10
Garcia stops resisting. Desperately. Garcia tries to disengage, knowing that
2:15
this fight is not worth his life, but Edgar sees
2:18
his chance and pulls out his gun before Garcia even
2:21
has a moment to react, and seconds later, a single
2:27
gunshot rings throughout the Hard Rock Casino. Garcia had little
2:31
to no chance of survival. He was shot directly in
2:34
the temple, and every passing second meant a step closer
2:38
to death. Soon after, panic erupted in the hotel, Employees
2:42
and residents scrambled to get a hold of authorities as
2:44
dozens of nine to one one calls began pouring in. Immediately,
2:49
a team of one hundred officers was put together from
2:52
multiple police departments and sent to the Hard Rock casino
2:55
and hotel.
2:57
Speaker 5: Okay, going to South Sera.
3:00
Speaker 10: Let's go go if we were heading this.
3:02
Speaker 5: Fluck there well.
3:02
Speaker 1: Now important to note is the facts that officers have
3:14
almost no information on the situation itself. All I know
3:18
is that there was a shooting and now there is
3:20
a man lying dead in front of the bar. They
3:22
also know that the Hard Rock Casino is a massive
3:25
complex with over six hundred and seventy rooms, and that
3:28
gunman could be hiding anywhere. Cool for me, it's no
3:34
ony man.
3:41
Speaker 11: Keen.
3:43
Speaker 10: Brian's gonna take a second floor because the stairwells on
3:45
the outside.
3:46
Speaker 7: Brian's taking us right in her second floor.
3:48
Speaker 5: We'll hit our stairwells up to.
3:56
Speaker 1: Bryan and inactive shooting officers always need to establish control
4:01
over the situation the moment they arrive on the scene.
4:04
That's why this team immediately moves in to secure the
4:07
stairwells because they lack security and connect to several parts
4:10
of the building, which provides an easy escape route for
4:13
the shooter. With that said, the shooter's identity is still
4:16
unknown and the officers need to treat everyone they encounter
4:19
as a potential threat until confirmed. Otherwise, where after quickly
4:48
confirming that these are innocent civilians and not the shooter.
4:51
Officers can now move towards evacuating them.
4:59
Speaker 3: Up there, Hey guys to coming out, to coming out,
5:06
keep your hands up all the way down.
5:10
Speaker 7: All the way down.
5:11
Speaker 2: That's up.
5:13
Speaker 10: Thanks for someone.
5:20
Speaker 2: Well.
5:21
Speaker 1: This team is clearing this part of the stairwells. Another
5:24
team on the casino floor works on securing the crime
5:26
scene and providing life saving assistance to the victim.
5:31
Speaker 7: No, I'm not, I ended up.
5:37
Speaker 12: Yeah, you want to see all The emergency services were
5:45
quick to respond and Garcia was transported out quickly.
5:48
Speaker 1: It was far too late to save him. He was
5:51
pronounced dead within minutes. The worst of all, the killer
5:55
was still on the loose, and every second wasted meant
5:57
that officers were further away from catching him and more
6:00
innocent lives were in danger. That is why the team
6:03
on the casino floor immediately starts gathering witness statements to
6:06
try and figure out exactly what happened. The first was
6:09
someone who was able to get a closer look at
6:11
the crime scene immediately after Garcia was shot.
6:14
Speaker 2: Was that the only.
6:15
Speaker 1: Showcasing you found that was spent, No spend one right
6:18
here next to this.
6:23
Speaker 2: Like that that's the only spent. So the word was
6:27
that they were struggling.
6:29
Speaker 13: Yeah, I had been holding an army app and then
6:31
I guess got to bring out one shot.
6:35
Speaker 2: Where do you wy? I think the guys don't like it.
6:36
Speaker 7: Where was he hit in the stomach?
6:39
Speaker 8: Was in the head.
6:42
Speaker 1: The next witness was a girl that Omar was on
6:44
a date with just hours before the murder.
6:47
Speaker 4: Hello, were you with?
6:49
Speaker 6: What happened?
6:49
Speaker 3: I don't know who is the man who's shot? Can
6:53
you tell me the name so I know if it's
6:54
him or not?
6:55
Speaker 2: I don't know.
6:55
Speaker 5: Okay, I was with Omar and Omar the one that
6:59
was shooting. What happened? What happened was I came in
7:03
here after my word was a man named Omar?
7:15
Speaker 4: What's up?
7:17
Speaker 5: I just met him last week, two weeks ago. I
7:21
just met him. But I know he's like close contact
7:23
with a lot of people in town. I know that
7:25
he's very important in town as a as a person,
7:29
you know what I mean? Like everyone loves him. He
7:33
has beard, he's light skinned, he's Mexican.
7:36
Speaker 2: Was he?
7:38
Speaker 5: I don't know this shirt, but he's wearing a hat,
7:41
a backwards hat or black.
7:45
Speaker 1: Even though this girl was praying that it wasn't who
7:48
she thought, she does not know yet that it was
7:51
in fact Omar who was shot and has even passed away.
7:55
Although tragic officers cannot spend any time on grievances, they
8:00
have no clue what the killer looks like, what his
8:03
escape plan is, and who he could possibly harm. Next,
8:06
this is where they begin executing the last step of
8:09
their response, chasing the shooter down, which begins with multiple
8:13
SWAT teams initiating a wide search of the entire building,
8:16
checking every hall and every corner.
8:22
Speaker 14: All right, okay, keep pushing.
8:35
Speaker 4: Chooser too. We will be on the fortnight.
8:49
Speaker 6: Doc.
8:51
Speaker 2: I'm going ahead, show your head.
8:53
Speaker 5: Cry.
8:55
Speaker 2: I've been crying.
8:56
Speaker 5: Around hispanic guy beard, gray shirt.
9:00
Speaker 7: Right there, Thank god here call you step over here, okay,
9:07
step behind. That's the other where that happened when I ran.
9:13
Speaker 4: In the saw guy on the floor.
9:14
Speaker 7: Okay, God, hey, listen to me. Hey, both you He's
9:20
in a hotel somewhere one of the time.
9:22
Speaker 2: That's why restate.
9:22
Speaker 7: Okay, you guys need to get into the stairwell.
9:24
Speaker 11: Okay, let's stay.
9:27
Speaker 6: Shriff's August come out now? Is your hands come out?
9:34
We thought it was our kids. Our kids are in
9:36
a couple of rooms sunless.
9:38
Speaker 7: I mean, you guys need to stay in this room.
9:39
Speaker 5: Don't come out for any reason. Okay, okay, keep do
9:43
not come out.
9:45
Speaker 7: There's an active shooter right now.
9:46
Speaker 2: Stay in the room.
9:48
Speaker 1: At this point in time, officers do not have access
9:50
to any of the CCTV footage, and it is difficult
9:52
for them to find out who exactly the man is,
9:55
let alone where he went. But getting their hands on
9:58
this footage should only be a question of time.
10:00
Speaker 6: Time.
10:00
Speaker 1: The security of casinos are often incredibly high, designed to
10:03
quickly de escalate dangerous situations like this, as we will
10:07
come to see later in this video. The reason for
10:09
this is part because of a shooting that happened back
10:12
in Las Vegas in twenty seventeen. Due to the failure
10:15
of that casino hotel security, they were forced to pay
10:18
out over eight hundred million to the victims of the shooting,
10:21
ensuring that security would be increased on all casino hotels
10:25
much like this one. Actually, it's very common for hotels, casinos,
10:29
or other companies to be forced to pay out settlements
10:32
like this. That's why I partnered with Morgan and Morgan
10:35
the company that fought for many of the victims of
10:37
the twenty seventeen shooting, helping them win over eight hundred
10:40
million dollars. You're seriously hurt, your injury could be worth millions.
10:44
With over one thousand attorneys, Morgan and Morgan will fight
10:47
to give you the best results, and unless you win,
10:50
they do it all for free. In just the past
10:52
few months, Morgan and Morgan has helped hundreds of people.
10:55
One car crash victim in Florida one a verdict worth
10:58
twelve million dollars, another in Philadelphia twenty six million dollars
11:03
that was forty times more than their insurance offered. So
11:06
if you ever get seriously injured, your case could be
11:08
worth millions and it takes only a few minutes to
11:11
see if you have a case. You can start your
11:13
claim with Morgan and Morgan by visiting www. Dot for
11:16
the people dot com slash insanity found in the description
11:21
with that said. Police at hard Rock Cafe received intel
11:24
that the suspect likely fled into one of the five
11:26
apartments nearby on the first and second floor. Fortunately, this
11:29
team you've just saw cleared out the stairs and hallways,
11:32
meaning more teams can rush into these apartments and look
11:35
for the suspect.
11:36
Speaker 2: Your's office over the door, show your hands he brands
11:40
up there, we had a shooting downstairs. And make sure
11:43
who's in here and who's not? Okay, good, step right here,
11:46
brands up?
11:48
Speaker 11: Did you do that for me?
11:56
Speaker 8: Y cler?
11:56
Speaker 7: Need to stands out?
11:58
Speaker 4: Clear?
12:00
Speaker 5: Well?
12:00
Speaker 7: I got this one him shriff off as everybody get
12:02
in here? How many people for? Are y'all here?
12:06
Speaker 4: Okay?
12:06
Speaker 5: Can we just check make sure every he's okay, nobody's hid?
12:08
Speaker 7: Awesome, Thank you ladies, what a day?
12:12
Speaker 15: Huh?
12:12
Speaker 11: Thank you guys.
12:18
Speaker 6: All right, unlocky.
12:26
Speaker 7: Yeah, unlock the door, open it slowly with your hands up.
12:31
Speaker 2: There.
12:31
Speaker 7: Youre no clothes alright, So where do you take him on?
12:35
Speaker 11: Just coming out?
12:37
Speaker 6: Some pants?
12:37
Speaker 8: Okay?
12:38
Speaker 7: Anybody else in.
12:41
Speaker 2: The stand and I asked that's going on?
12:49
Speaker 10: Holy am I okay to check out?
13:00
Speaker 2: Just go on the ruin head and tire.
13:01
Speaker 1: Although the Fourth Amendment bars officers from warrantless searches under
13:04
most circumstances, this scenario is an exception, as it is
13:08
classified as an exigent circumstance. Exigent circumstances exist in situations
13:13
where people are in imminent danger, where evidence faces imminent
13:16
destruction or prior to us suspects imminent escape, much like
13:20
in this active shooting. But even with this privilege, officers
13:23
need to pick up their pays because only two of
13:26
the five apartments on this floor have been searched, and
13:28
the killer could be in any one of them.
13:32
Speaker 2: Serriff's office, he's your hands.
13:38
Speaker 4: Anyone else in there with you or no? Just you?
13:41
Is anybody hurting hurt?
13:42
Speaker 16: Now?
13:42
Speaker 11: No?
13:43
Speaker 4: Ok we got walk and stay in your room. We've
13:48
got to make sure that we're gonna make sure everybody's hurt.
13:50
Speaker 2: It here, all right, Thank you, yours alt us.
14:02
Speaker 5: Open the door.
14:05
Speaker 17: Okay, we'll see your hands. Open the door on your hands,
14:12
thank you, open door, Oh ship, Who else is inside?
14:16
Speaker 15: My son.
14:19
Speaker 4: Claire?
14:20
Speaker 2: We had a shooting incident at the host mission her
14:26
hands up?
14:29
Speaker 8: You guys all right?
14:31
Speaker 4: How many are in here?
14:32
Speaker 11: Just two of you?
14:33
Speaker 9: Just okay?
14:34
Speaker 4: Everybody's accounted for, yes, sir.
14:38
Speaker 11: Moving.
14:39
Speaker 1: Even with such extensive man power, SWAT is having a
14:42
difficult time tracking down the killer. But they had one
14:44
more apartment left, and the individual that came face to
14:47
face with was someone who could very well be the killer.
14:52
Speaker 7: Sir, open the door, Open the door.
14:57
Speaker 18: I'm gonna break the door down the Okay, we're on
15:00
a shooting or checking for people, So.
15:02
Speaker 7: Please open the door.
15:04
Speaker 2: Sense in the shower right now? Okay, open the door.
15:06
Speaker 4: You're not going in the shower.
15:09
Speaker 7: Going to open the door, please?
15:11
Speaker 2: What do you want to do.
15:14
Speaker 19: To make sure everyone is okay? Okay, yes, yes, it's on.
15:20
Speaker 10: It's on.
15:21
Speaker 19: So I need you to open the door, sir. But
15:23
if you're coming with walk here like I've been sleeping.
15:27
Speaker 7: Okay, my god, it's down man, it folstered.
15:29
Speaker 5: Okay.
15:29
Speaker 18: I just need to open the door so I could
15:30
talk to your hair and I make sure everyone's okay.
15:32
That's inside of the room. Okay, we had an active
15:34
shooter on the casino floor.
15:36
Speaker 2: Everyone's okay in here, okay.
15:37
Speaker 7: I need you to open the door so we can
15:39
make sure.
15:39
Speaker 2: Are you looking for somebody?
15:43
Speaker 11: Sir?
15:43
Speaker 7: I'm really trying not to make it difficult.
15:44
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to make it.
15:46
Speaker 7: You are making it difficult. All he needs you to
15:47
open the door right here.
15:48
Speaker 2: You're not going to break down that.
15:49
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna break down the door. I just need
15:51
you to open this door.
15:52
Speaker 4: You're not You're not going in there when you make
15:53
it to the shower.
15:54
Speaker 7: I'm not going in the shower.
15:55
Speaker 2: I just need to open this door.
15:56
Speaker 4: Why do you need to open this door?
15:58
Speaker 2: You're not telling me much you have. We don't know.
16:03
Speaker 7: We had an active shooter on the floor, so we
16:05
don't know.
16:06
Speaker 20: We're checking every single room right so far out of
16:09
all the casinos, out of every room.
16:11
Speaker 7: Guess that we've meant to You're the only one that's
16:12
not opening the door.
16:13
Speaker 2: You have a problem with God's that coming in.
16:15
Speaker 1: Refusing to cooperate in an active shooter situation is one
16:19
of the worst decisions this man could have taken. To
16:22
make things worse, he mentions the presence of someone else
16:25
in the apartment. This is why officers have to be
16:27
incredibly careful in dealing with the situation, because, for all
16:30
they know, behind this door could be someone ready to
16:33
shoot at them.
16:35
Speaker 20: Oh wait, if you only wait, tre sung inside the
16:37
shower so I could talk to him, Thank you, sir.
16:43
Speaker 4: You're not coming in though, and breaking down the door
16:46
to get going.
16:46
Speaker 7: I'm not going to break down the door to go
16:48
into the shower.
16:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, my kid, he's in the shower.
16:50
Speaker 2: There's no reason for it. I've told you four times
16:52
we're just checking the room to make sure no one's
16:54
in the.
16:54
Speaker 5: Other the gun.
16:55
Speaker 7: Just let him through.
16:55
Speaker 2: This guy's got a gun. Yeah, and case there's another
16:58
guy in the room with one. Please put the gun down.
17:01
It's down, sir. Okay, it was quitted at me. It's
17:04
not down. Okay. Do you have ID sir? I do
17:09
have idea?
17:09
Speaker 8: I don't.
17:12
Speaker 7: Okay, who else besides you and your son? Who else
17:15
is here?
17:15
Speaker 2: Nobody's here?
17:17
Speaker 11: Okay?
17:18
Speaker 7: Can I come in and look on the other side
17:19
of that bad over there?
17:20
Speaker 2: Yes, you can come in.
17:21
Speaker 9: Look.
17:22
Speaker 11: Thank you.
17:23
Speaker 1: Fortunately, the apartment seemed relatively safe for officers to enter,
17:27
but the suspect's behavior causes them to think that he
17:29
might have been in contact with the shooter and need
17:32
to interview both him and his son.
17:34
Speaker 7: And you are the only two that are in the room.
17:36
Speaker 2: We already all get two that are in the room.
17:37
I'll want to wait right here.
17:38
Speaker 20: Can you ask your son to maybe your soft shower
17:41
put on twas stick his head out. It's like a
17:42
verified he's okay, Yeah, hi doing sir, good good. I'm
17:48
starting to stircle the Sheriff's office. Sorry for the rude awakening.
17:52
We had an act shooter on the casino force or
17:54
we're going run the room. Make sure everyone's okay. No
17:55
one I'm shot is no one has tried to come in.
17:57
Get in your room, okay, Hostly, you just saw.
18:02
Speaker 2: Heavy Heavy apprehended the suspect that I do not know yet,
18:09
So now you'll leave it or not.
18:11
Speaker 7: So we're asking people to shelter in place right now.
18:14
Speaker 20: We're fairly pretty close to being done, so I say,
18:16
give about a half hour call down to front desk
18:18
and ask it's okay to come on out.
18:20
Speaker 1: A Shelter in place is an emergency protocol deployed to
18:23
protect citizens in case of an emergency. By staying put
18:26
in safe places like their apartments, any threats are deterred
18:29
from being able to harm individuals for now. Though, this
18:32
man showed no proof of being affiliated with the shooting,
18:35
so officers decide to move on. But even with the
18:38
five apartments searched, there was no sign of the killer.
18:41
The only option officers had left was to begin searching
18:44
even more rooms on the higher floors, but this would
18:47
cost them precious time, time that they did not have.
18:50
This is why they turned to the hotel. CCTV footage
18:52
in hopes of getting a lead on who the man
18:54
is and most importantly, where he ran off.
18:57
Speaker 6: Took upstairs. I'm taking her upstairs to look at the carrol.
19:05
Speaker 1: Fortunately, this proves to be a big breakthrough in the case,
19:08
as officers soon find footage of the man running off
19:11
from the crime scene. Officers had finally had an image
19:14
of what the suspect looked like, and it was soon
19:16
sent to every single team in the hotel, and not
19:19
even minutes later, officers get a lead a man in
19:22
the lobby who matches the image exactly.
19:34
Speaker 7: Put your hand up, you mean you mean, you mean.
19:43
Speaker 6: Away?
19:44
Speaker 2: You got him? Where do you come from? What room?
20:03
Speaker 5: Yeah?
20:03
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know. Oh here covered down.
20:08
Speaker 6: Look at this.
20:14
Speaker 2: Yeh, cop.
20:23
Speaker 1: Cross referencing the image to the suspects. The two are
20:26
almost an exact match. However, officers are still not entirely
20:30
certain and need to have a closer look before taking
20:33
the next step and arresting him.
20:35
Speaker 5: Sure, and take off.
20:39
Speaker 6: He take his cap off, took his right and Lucy's
21:07
running out.
21:14
Speaker 2: What we're looking for?
21:14
Speaker 6: Buddy dude's got similar.
21:17
Speaker 4: So that's why.
21:22
Speaker 1: Unfortunately this turned out to be a dead end. This
21:25
was not the man that the officers were looking for,
21:28
and the frustration clearly began to grow.
21:30
Speaker 4: Did you were you out? We were at the restaurant.
21:36
Speaker 7: I didn't want to say to the are surveillans?
21:37
Speaker 6: Guys did not know any about this?
21:39
Speaker 7: When I went up there for zero, I gave.
21:41
Speaker 6: Them a picture when I went up there the south
21:43
side was.
21:44
Speaker 8: The guy right now?
21:46
Speaker 4: That's what.
21:48
Speaker 11: That was.
21:48
Speaker 6: That was ten fifteen ago.
21:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
22:01
Speaker 1: It is around this time that officers make a crucial
22:04
breakthrough in the case. By digging deeper into CCTV and
22:07
tracking back the shooter's movements, they discovered that their man
22:10
is not a visitor, but a tenant named Edgar Julian Delgado,
22:14
who checked into the hotel the day before with his girlfriend,
22:18
Savannah Tatapalle. Right after the murder, Edgar is seen rushing
22:22
to his room and coming out with a handful of bags.
22:25
Savannah soon joins him and the exit the hotel. Edgar,
22:28
along with his girlfriend, were now on the run. Despite
22:32
the fast response from police, Edgar was able to escape
22:36
because no one had a description of the suspect yet,
22:39
and as we would later see, he even had a
22:41
close call with an officer before he escaped. Immediately after
22:45
finding out Edgar had escaped, all roads and highways in
22:48
the state were placed under heavy monitoring. They were not
22:51
going to let a murderer escape, and while they waited
22:53
for Edgar to fall into their hands, they began interviewing
22:56
hotel employees to understand the motives behind this murder. Star
23:00
with a security guard who was present at the time
23:02
of the murder, Robert Bells, and as he and.
23:05
Speaker 21: I were finishing the cigarettes, were heard a loud boom
23:09
like a shot. Within ten seconds, the dispatcher, who was
23:13
Santos Nunaz, said someone has been shot at Center Bar.
23:17
Speaker 7: Did he read that information over the radio? We laid
23:19
that information over the radio. I heard the information.
23:24
Speaker 21: I stepped into the center hallway and proceeded down towards
23:29
the Center bar.
23:32
Speaker 4: When I saw.
23:35
Speaker 7: Rather large man about six foot six' one walking in my.
23:40
Speaker 21: Direction my thought was that this is a guy who
23:44
just shot someone at the, bar because he seemed a
23:47
little agitated, walking.
23:49
Speaker 4: SO i immediately turned.
23:50
Speaker 21: AROUND i stayed far away enough till he exited to the,
23:55
left going towards security.
23:57
Speaker 7: Podium that's WHEN i walked. OUT i had overheard earlier
24:01
the traffic that a.
24:03
Speaker 21: Gunshot somebody had been shot at the, bar and that's
24:05
WHEN i walked over AND i saw.
24:09
Speaker 7: A man laying there in a pool of blood at the.
24:11
Speaker 1: Bar from What roberts, says the killing itself was quite
24:14
a big scene at The center, Bar yet the response
24:17
was so slow That edgar was not only given the
24:19
time to, escape but pack his belongings before doing. So
24:22
to make matters, Worse edgar actually walked in front of
24:25
the security, podium the point at which the entirety of
24:28
the casino security cameras were managed by. Guards security likely
24:32
decided that pursuing an armed, suspect especially one responsible for a,
24:36
shooting was not a wise decision to, make and rather
24:39
opted to keep tabs on his. Whereabouts, regardless it is
24:42
unfortunate That edgar was given enough time to escape. Comfortably
24:46
at this. Point officers move on to the next, Employee,
24:49
noble who gives more insight into what the two were
24:51
talking about Before edgar pulled a.
24:53
Speaker 22: Gun did were you able to hear what kind of
24:55
conversations they were? Having what they were talking? About not,
24:59
EXACT i wasn't really. Processing it was still kind of
25:02
early for me as kind of background noise to.
25:04
Speaker 23: Me but, okay you, know, now, well as they're being,
25:09
loud was it a loud? Argument were they just being loud, laughing?
25:13
Joking it seemed.
25:15
Speaker 2: More like just kind of tough buddy. STUFF i guess.
25:20
Speaker 11: More.
25:21
Speaker 2: JOKING i would think.
25:23
Speaker 7: In what way would describe it that stuff like they
25:26
did Mention they weren't starting it, like, oh, joking LIKE
25:29
i could take your.
25:30
Speaker 2: Ass, no you you, KNOW i know you can't type. Thing,
25:32
Okay and that's when, yeah they you, know they started
25:38
just scruffling up a little.
25:39
Speaker 4: Bit do you remember if who told? Who who initiated
25:42
that type of?
25:42
Speaker 22: Conversation?
25:43
Speaker 11: Uh, NO i can say for.
25:46
Speaker 1: Sure friendly banter turning into a murder is something highly.
25:50
Unusual there is a crucial piece of the, puzzle but
25:53
detectives are missing out on and the only person who
25:56
can give it to them Is edgar. Himself in order
26:00
to catch, him officers have to be. Patient they already
26:03
know what his car looks like from THE cctv, footage
26:06
and checkpoints have been set up on all roads leading
26:08
to The Hard Rock. Casino this meant that it was
26:11
only a matter of time Before edgar fell into their,
26:14
hands and sure, enough hours, Later edgar's vehicle would approach
26:18
one of these checkpoints Near highway. Fifty there was no escaping,
26:22
anymore and officers could finally get the answers they've been
26:26
so desperately searching.
26:27
Speaker 10: For turn around from The.
26:30
Speaker 2: Edgar no towards, Me.
26:36
Speaker 6: Edgar my name Is Steve.

27:26
Speaker 7: Am A nevada.
27:26
Speaker 13: Detective So i'm from the state Of nevada where the casinos. Are,
27:30
yeah you're being held In california by The california by
27:36
The Eldorado County Sheriff's.
27:37
Speaker 1: Office even Though edgar was arrested In, california he'll still
27:40
be charged Under nevada law because that's where the crime took.
27:43
Place in, Fact california police will need to Send edgar
27:47
back To nevada through a process called. Extradition this is
27:50
required by The Extradition clause In article four of THE Us,
27:54
constitution which states that if someone commits a crime in
27:57
one state and flees to, another they must be returned
27:59
to the date where the crime occouraged to face. Trial
28:02
this ensures That edgar has tried based on laws of
28:05
the state where the crime, happened and In, nevada first
28:08
degree murder results in either life without parole or fifty
28:12
years with the possibility of parole after Twenty, NOW.
28:15
Speaker 13: I understand THAT i can smell that you've had a
28:17

Speaker 4: You we did you solid, right got you outlet you tanky.
28:34
Speaker 7: Right y, Okay i'm, good all, Right i'm good for.
28:36
Speaker 1: Enough it is chilling to See edgar act so nonchalant
28:40
after taking the life of someone who wished to be
28:42
friends with, him but this explains several Of edgar's, mannerisms
28:48
the slurred, speech the lack of, understanding his stumbling while
28:51
escaping from the, casino and most, importantly his sudden impulse
28:56
to Shoot. Garcia although aggression to this extent stems from
29:00
an individual's personal, decisions alcohol can often act as a.
29:04
Catalyst according to THE nih AND, who alcohol is the
29:08
most commonly associated drug with aggression compared to others that
29:12
affect body. Function this means That garcia was murdered at
29:16
the whims of a twisted, drunkard And edgar needs to
29:20
give them. Answers but before an interview proceeds with, him
29:23
detectives decide to interrogate his, Girlfriend savannah in order to
29:27
Understand edgar as a, person possibly giving them invaluable evidence
29:31
to charge.
29:32
Speaker 4: Him with.
29:33
Speaker 5: Murder, Hi, savannah.
29:36
Speaker 10: My name Is Lady jenkins is my last. Name nice
29:39
to meet you as. Well i'm a detective With Lucia
29:43
Sheriff's office on The novata. SIDE i would like to
29:46
talk to.
29:47
Speaker 15: You about what happened over at the Hard rock that
29:50
kind of led up to you be in contacted By
29:53
Alorado County Sheriff's, office and the time that you arrived
29:56
In tahoe until the time you Left, tahoe and tell
29:58
me everything that happened from the beginning to the middle
30:00
to the end in as much detail as you.
30:02
Speaker 10: Can so we got, here we went straight to the.
30:04
Speaker 16: Hartroom we, parked and the time we walked in checked in.
30:10
Speaker 10: Moved but after we checked, in we went and we
30:13
parked in the.
30:13
Speaker 16: Parking, garage and then we went to our. Hotel we
30:17
went up to the hotel, room and then.
30:20
Speaker 9: We went down to the casino area and we had
30:23
a few, drinks and THEN i was not feeling, well
30:26
so we went back up to the room AND i was,
30:28
peaking and then he. Left he said he was gonna
30:32
be back in thirty, minutes and THEN i fell asleep
30:34
on the back of.
30:35
Speaker 10: Fork, okay.
30:37
Speaker 11: And THEN i woke up to him calling me, saying let's,
30:41
go we need to, leave AND i kept asking him what,
30:44
happened and he just he just kept saying let's. GO
30:49
i was getting.
30:51
Speaker 16: FRUSTRATED i was like. Why i'm, Like i'm hung, Over
30:53
i'm want to say what's going?
30:54
Speaker 11: On and he just kept, saying over and, over let's,
30:59
go let's, go let's. Go AND i assumed that he
31:01
had been gambling and he lost money and he was,
31:04
mad and so we grabbed our stuff and when we
31:10
walked to the, car and that's when we saw cops pulling,
31:13
up and the cops told us is that there's someone
31:16
with a gun or someone got. Shot and then he turned,
31:19
around faced, them put his hands up AND i looked at.
31:23
Speaker 6: HIM i was, like what are you?
31:23
Speaker 11: Doing and THEN i just, said, babe let's. Go they
31:27
just said someone has a, gun let's, go and so
31:30
we went to the.
31:30
Speaker 1: Car it is likely That savannah genuinely did not know
31:33
why she was being rushed to leave in the heat
31:35
of the. Moment, unfortunately due To edgar's horrible, decisions she
31:39
is now an accomplice in her boyfriend's, Escape so either
31:43
she tries to defend him and risk being charged as
31:46
an accomplice in, murder or fess up and answer every question,
31:50
honestly especially the ones about his.
31:53
Speaker 6: Past how did you Meet?
31:54
Speaker 10: Edgar how do you?
31:55
Speaker 24: Know we went to high school, together but we didn't
31:59

32:01
HE'S i started working of our and he is my.
32:06
Speaker 15: Boss, okay it's your.
32:07
Speaker 9: Boss.
32:08
Speaker 10: Okay what do you know about him and his history
32:10

32:11
Speaker 11: You?
32:13
Speaker 10: Nothing, OKAY i don'itely know anything that we went to
32:15

32:31
Speaker 21: Talk some do you have not had that?
32:34
Speaker 1: Talk okay for, Now the detective believes That savannah isn't
32:38
comfortable enough to reveal details and decides to take an
32:42
alternative Approach by explaining the trouble she's in and mounting some,
32:45
pressure there is a chance that crucial information can be
32:49
squeezed out of.
32:50
Speaker 10: Her you have to understand that.
32:53
Speaker 15: When you know somebody has done something illegal or or
32:57
have a suspicion of. It where they are you that,
33:00
hint and then if you help them, escape that's a.
33:03
Crime so ify driving him away from the.

Speaker 10: Up what is his backpack look?
35:08
Speaker 11: LIKE i think it's A jordan.

Speaker 10: Blackpack it's.
35:11
Speaker 16: Black the only other things in the car were my,
35:14
bag which is, green and he had another black double.
35:18
Speaker 1: Bag the bag That savannah mentions contains several Of edgar's,
35:22
item's including the weapon he used to Kill garcia.
35:29
Speaker 10: Girls and then it looks like the mag and the
35:31
gun are. Separated it is, open, okay and there's a
35:36
magazine with.
35:36
Speaker 2: It, okay, Okay so let's watch for three seven barrel.
35:47
Speaker 1: Six this information is what the detective uses to not
35:54
only make sure That savannah is telling the, truth but
35:56
to find out whether this murder was premeditated or?
35:59
Speaker 10: Not do you Know edgar to carry a firearm on
36:02
a regular? Basis did you know he was carrying a
36:05
FIRE i knew that he had it with, Him. OKAY
36:09
i didn't know that he had it when we were
36:11
like in the. Casino, okay so you were not aware of?
36:14
Speaker 11: That?
36:14
Speaker 10: No does he generally carry it on in this person
36:16
when you guys go?
36:17
Speaker 11: Out?
36:18
Speaker 10: No HAD i Guess i'm trying to wrap my mind.
36:22
Around you, know sometimes people like for, me for, instance law,
36:25
ENFORCEMENT i carried EVERYWHERE i go nature of the.
36:27
Speaker 5: Job.
36:27
Speaker 15: Right some people only carry it sometimes if they feel
36:31
like there might be a, problem or they feel, threatened.
36:33
Speaker 10: Or it's a bad environment or something like. That and
36:36
other people carry it all the time just just in. Case.
36:39
RIGHT i know for a fact he doesn't have it
36:40
on him all the. Time, Okay so he doesn't have
36:42
it on it all the. Time M do you have
36:43
any idea what would have prompted him to carry it?
36:46
Today not when he came back to the, room did
36:49
you see the gun in his? Possession?
36:51
Speaker 5: NO i saw it when we were leaving the hotel.
36:54
Speaker 10: Room about value of the car and where did you see?
36:56
Speaker 2: That?
36:57
Speaker 11: HE i think he put it in his. BOX i
37:04
don't know if it's like a gun case or one Of.
37:08
Speaker 15: Okay i'm, sorry say that from here one more. Time
37:10
you saw when you were leaving the room and from
37:15
the room to the, Car, Okay so he stopped.
37:17
Speaker 11: It he'd put it in a.
37:19
Speaker 10: BOX i think it's his gun.
37:21
Speaker 1: Case under normal, circumstances it would not have been odd
37:24
For edgar to carry a. Weapon this is because he
37:27
worked as a security guard In Santa, cruz and due
37:30
to the nature of his, job one would expect him
37:32
to be safety. Oriented if this were the, case detectives
37:35
likely would not think that the murder was. Premeditated, however
37:38
the reality was that carrying a weapon was unlike, him
37:42
as his girlfriend. Testifies if, anything this has dug an
37:46
even deeper grave For, edgar since there are grounds to
37:48
charge him with first degree. Murder But edgar somehow makes
37:52
this situation even worse for himself with the interview he
37:55
gives one of the officers who arrests. Him this would
37:58
also be where we finally See edgar's mental state during
38:01
and after the.
38:02
Speaker 13: Murder it's important for you to be able to tell
38:04
