So that's two witnesses describing similar suspects and pointing police toward the fence on the edge of the Mill Pond Village apartments. A sprawling housing complex with multiple buildings, a few big parking lots, and hundreds of units. A place Chief Carl said police knew well.

Detectives found physical evidence that backed up those witness accounts as they shone their flashlights across the snowy ground outside the store. There were cracks in the smooth white surface. Shoe prints. They showed that two people were headed toward Mill Pond. And fast.

Police followed the prints, but the path suddenly stopped at the Mill Pond parking lot. It had been plowed. No snow means no more shoe prints. A canine handler and his dog Mac were also brought out to the area to see if they could track ascent from the parking lot where Javid was found to wherever the shooter or shooters may have gone.

And Mac did track ascent right along the same path to the fence. In fact, Mac took them even further into the complex and to one set of apartments called the U Building. Police talked to the folks who lived there, but no one had seen their suspects running over there. It would be a dead end for investigators. The first of many.

Investigators kept canvassing around Mill Pond through the night and into the next morning. And as the sun rose, they took a closer look at the scene. They found a latent fingerprint on the fence and took it into evidence along with castings of the shoe print impressions and more fingerprints, many of them from the door to the one-stop.

You can imagine that door was covered in prints because people were going in and out of the store all day, every day. So sorting through those was a bust. There was no way to tell which ones might be from a suspect. And despite several eyewitness accounts of the suspected attackers running away, no one could say who they were.

Even though police had arrived at the scene of Javid's shooting quickly and were able to lock down the parking lot at Mill Pond almost immediately, witnesses did say they saw two vehicles, a red Mustang and a black SUV, leaving the neighborhood after the gunshot with a couple of guys inside.

So it sounded like at least a few people had left the area that night after the shooting, but before the area was secured. Chief Carl said they put out a Bolo on that Mustang and did a lot of work with the DMV in an attempt to track it down, but no luck. And the black SUV isn't exactly a unique car, and they just couldn't track it down without even a make or a model.
