I'm not convinced that no one has footage. Even if it were just of Christian walking away, right? It
00:00:08
doesn't even have to be anything nefarious. Just like putting him in a place at a time would be helpful at this
00:00:13
point. And if we don't have him walking away, like also what does that say, >> right? But like if he walked away and
00:00:20
everyone's saying their cameras weren't working, like are they lying? I mean, I think the interesting thing to note is
00:00:26
this is a predominantly white neighborhood. Christian is a black teen and we spoke with someone from the area.
00:00:32
I'm going to call him James. He told us that that neighborhood and Brunswick Hills in general is not the most
00:00:38
open-minded community. And I think that's [music] being kind of generous because Christian's sister Chrissy and
00:00:45
their mom Relle told us that last year during one of their justice walks around Topaz Lane after Christian's murder,
00:00:52
people in the neighborhood were actually yelling slurs at them and yelling at them to [music] leave. And they say
00:00:58
residents even called the police on them, saying that they were on private property. Now, we obviously asked
00:01:02
detectives about that. They said that they didn't receive any complaints for anyone at the march, but they did get
00:01:08
several calls directly to the police station from concerned residents worried about the people yelling and screaming
00:01:13
on the street. So, they patrolled the areas just in case, but no reports were filed. And for clarity, I'm not saying
00:01:20
that everyone in the neighborhood is like that. I mean, the neighbors that our reporter spoke to really want to
00:01:26
help in any way they can, [music] but it's not like others in this community are rallying around the family
00:01:31
to get answers. It feels a little more like if something happened in this neighborhood, a lot of the neighbors
00:01:38
might cover for each other. And that's something that resident James told us that he wouldn't be surprised
