Jose's partner Ophelia says that she managed to get a quick look at the shooter and has subsequently shown a book of potential suspects.
And at the time, she's unable to pick anyone out from the line-up she's shown.
This will become an important factor later on in our story.
So far, the sergeant in charge of the investigation, Jim Rivard, has had no leads whatsoever on the case.
Until one day, a chance tip-off from a police informant, Bill Braun, puts Evaristo Salas as the number one suspect.
Braun tells Rivard that he overheard Junior bragging to friends about committing this shooting and police go and pick him up.
This is the day after he's just buried his best friend.
He's placed into a room and told to explain where he was on the day of the murder, a murder that had occurred six months prior.
This situation is something that has come up in a few cases that we've discussed in this show, most notably with Anthony Duke.
He also was picked up months after the crime had been committed and was asked to recount his whereabouts on the day.
Now, a number of people have questioned his confusion over this, stating that if they were up on murder charges, they'd like to think that they'd be able to remember because it was such a serious situation.
I personally have the worst memory known to man.
In fact, my wife's major gripe with me, there are many, but the major one is that I forget everything.
So for me, this is easy to understand.
There is no way on God's green earth that I would be able to remember what I did six months ago.
So I wanted to put this to the test with others and see if put on the spot, they could recall where they were and what they were doing six months ago.
So I spoke with three people, Dom, my audio genius, my wife, who prides herself on her memory, and my brother, a former police officer turned security expert, to see how they would get on.
Just answer this question for me as best you can.
