Hoping this could be a big break in the case, police sat down with Arthur and went through a photo lineup that included photos of Mike and Tyrone. And he didn't pick either of them out. In fact, he told detectives that he was positive it wasn't Mike or Tyrone, but another guy he swore he saw shoot Javid. Detective Roberts had some concerns about Arthur's credibility.

He was already working with prosecutors on another case, and those attorneys said he might not be trustworthy. But Arthur was persistent. He kept on calling police over the course of several years and swearing he knew who killed Javid. Investigators' last contact with Arthur was a couple years ago after Arthur was arrested again.

And Chief Carl says the department got on board. They even brought Arthur out to the scene of the one-stop shooting in the middle of the night to meet with detectives, cold case investigators, and prosecutors. And yet, nothing happened.

Chief Carl told us that this false lead wasn't the only one they had to wade through over the years. Javid's wife, Rafia, had tried to come up with any scrap of a theory that might help get justice for the man she loved. Some seemed plausible. For instance, she thought her ex-husband may have had something to do with it and described an encounter with him days before Javid was shot.

But her ex was cleared of any suspicion when detectives looked into this alleged threat and found that the run-in at the mosque never actually happened. Over the years, detectives say they fielded more and more calls from Rafia that they, of course, checked out, but that mostly just led them down more dead ends, things like theories about black magic.

So as more years have passed with no justice for Javid, Rafia's relationship with detectives has become strained, and they're really not in touch at all anymore. Our reporting team reached out to Rafia multiple times, along with her and Javid's now grown-up children and other members of their extended family. But we didn't hear back from any of them as of this recording.

Detective Roberts told our reporters that Mike and Tyrone have always been persons of interest in this case. But with no eyewitnesses able to ID the suspects who fled the one-stop that night, and these gun libraries throwing a cloud of confusion over the weapon that was used, there have always been just too many questions about their involvement to bring charges.
