CNNW At This Hour With Berman And Bolduan November 27, 2015

Detective headquarters in chicago. What do we expect to hear . Reporter hi, john. Were expect police to announce the arrest of corey morgan for firstdegree murder charges in relation toty ysean lee, the 9yearold you described moments ago. Authorities tell us he was lured into an alley, shot and killed. We have learned a few more details. They say this man, corey morgan, was the same man that was questioned after lees killing and then released and later arrested on unrelated gun charges. Again, were expecting to learn more information in moments. Now, i can tell you, i was on the scene covering this story from the get go and it was just so eerie, john, to be in that alley. Authorities telling us this boy was simply going to play basketball, that he was just walking through aalley and that in a gangrelated targeted killing, that boy was lured into that alley and shot and killed. Gerngs a man by the name of corey morgan arrested on firstdegree murder charges in relation to the killing of tysean lee. We say tysean lee was 9 years old. If thats not enough, this kid was 83 pounds. He was truly just a little boy, targeted in some kind of gang possible relationship between this man now under arrest, corey morgan and tysean lees family . Reporter the other thing weve heard from authorities, and were expecting to hear more, but they tell us this was a gangrelated targeted killing. A gangongang type killing, instead of going for the family member, they actually lured this little boy into the alley and shot and killed him. Its very disturbing. From the get go, from talking to investigators, they told me, rosa, this is one of a series were following. We really hope this is not true because its so gory. And, indeed, thats what they found. Now, you know, this man is arrested on firstdegree murder charges in relation to this killing. We dont know this man was the man who lured this boy into that alley. Again, well learn more in the next few moments. Stand by. Well bring you that News Conference the second it happens in chicago. Im joined by danny. In this case, corey morgan was brought in for questioning virtually right away. He was then you get the sense police have had their eye on this guy for a while. They definitely did. Not only knowing about them, knowing them personally, cultivating informants. I have no idea i would expect, i should say, they had someone on the inside giving them information that led them rel livety quickly to this defendant. If they knew then or thought they knew then, why the month . Why the four weeks from the killing to make the formal arrest . There are several Different Reasons that could happen. On the one hand, if theres someone currently and presently dangero dangerous, police would and should go out and arrest that person. At the same time, they want to make sure they have enough to amount of probable cause to hold him for trial. So, its a delicate balancing the prosecution has to engage in. Its difficult and its a judgment call. A month is not completely surprising, especially with the intel they had on the front end was not reliable. What about the bigger significance of this . Were waiting for a News Conference. Youre looking at a live view of the detective headquarters. An arrest made in the 9yearold boy tysean lee, lured into an alley and apparently killed, assassinated in some type of gangrelated activity. What do you think authorities to want do with this arrest today . What message do they want to send by doing this in such a highprofile way . Its interesting. Studies show gangland killings are less likely to receive the Death Penalty than rape murders or other kind of killings. Its an interesting phenomenon. But Law Enforcement has been wanting to send the message gang killings are unacceptable. In the recent decade we have added gang killings to the list of aggravating factors that would qualify someone for the Death Penalty. Again, illinois is not a Death Penalty state anymore. But, without question, it is a growing concern for Law Enforcement and legislatures who have added enhancements for killings in the gang sphere. An arrest made in the awful, awful murder of 9yearold tysean lee. In the meantime, major new developments in the battle against isis. Russian president Vladimir Putin says hes ready to cooperate with the u. S. Led coalition to defeat the terrorist, but he warns another attack like the shootdown of the russian plane, could destroy the cooperation. That attack left a pilot dead dead. The turkish leader says he wants to meet with president putin on monday on the sidelines of the Climate Change commission. The kremlin says no plans onr in the works for such a discussion. Were joined from the russian kpt, a current searcher for the International Center of defense and security. At this point, do you think the kremlin paris, but do you tk its president president erdogan and putin meet in paris . Reporter its likely. Theyre not saying no meeting, theyre just saying no meeting is planned. Really the relationship, i can feel it on the streets in moscow. Average russians are very angry, they angry about what happened when their pilots were shot down and one killed. And russia has to show that anger. Way theyre doing it is a lot of economic action, sanctions, retribution against turkey. Today they ended for the time being visafree travel. Thats a very big deal. There are like 3. 3 million tourists who come from russia to turkey. And the overail trade is enormous. You know, 44 billion. Theyre using economic leavers to show their anger. Its interesting, too. You have some personal politics at play here as well. President putin and president erdogan of turkey, both used to being the toughest kid on the playground. Neither willing to give up much ground in terms of the pr here. Let me ask you about whats going on in syria right now. President putin, some suggest, he opened the door to cooperation in syria. Is that how you read it . Reporter i do not read it that way. What theyre saying is we are willing to cooperate cooperating because russia russia and the United States as the head of the u. S. Led coalition already signed a military agreement to avert accidents in the air. Thats cooperation. Would they actually get to the point they would share intelligence . I dont think so. Especially when in the same breath, president putin is extremely critical of that coalition. I mean, especially hes saying, the United States knew that our plane was going to be there. Why didnt they pass that information on . Now, the u. S. Is not necessarily saying thats correct. But hes criticizing the United States and criticizing the coalition for saying at worst ma never lent dwai thank you for being with us. I want to go back to chicago, a News Conference. An arrest in the shooting of tysean lee. This is the Police Superintendent Gary Mccarthy. Everybody ready . Ufrtsdz great to stand here in front of you with good news. Im happy to be joined by chief of detectives dean andrews, deputy chief from detectives, gene roy and joe, who led the great team bringing this case to fruition. And a couple of the investigators and team, as i said, a lot are upstairs, they would much rather be doing their work than standing here, quite frankly. This is a crime that shook our city. As i talked about it, it was an act of barbarism. The assassination of a 9yearold child as a gang retaliation to get back at his father. Tysean lee was failed on many, many levels. At the end of the day, our detectives rn unrelentless in pursuit of justice. I cant tell you how hard they worked. After conducting a thorough investigation into this unphat amable crime, as ive described it, that was both targeted and calculated, they are bringing this case to conclusion. Theres still an awful lot of work to do. Again, corey morgan, 27yearold from lansing. Mr. Morgan was charged with firstdegree murder as a result of an arrest warrant based on two things. Community assistance and intelligence and incredibly hard work by our detectives to develop evidence that supports the charges that were able to bring forward. Morgan was in violation of a bail bond. At sim he was taken into custody. Obviously, going to have a lot of questions about the investigation but theres still a lot of work to do. I want to highlight the background of this individual, as i told you. When we solve this case, were going to find an individual with an extensive, violent criminal history who likely should not have been on the streets. Thats the way it happens almost every single time. Corey morgan is a documented gang member, a convicted felon. As you know, we picked him up just a couple weeks ago with yet another firearm. So, he has a pending gun arrest along with a history of violence. And i just cant tell you how hard and how involved these eye been down here a couple of times with them and their spirit never wavered, the confidence to solve this case. Theres an awful lot of work yet to do. I will tell you that we know there are three individuals involved in this. At least three individuals, lets put it that way. One is in custody right now on an unrelated charge. And were confident hes not getting out any time soon and there is a third person were going to reveal to you now. A male named Kevin Edwards is a third person wanted in connection with this han nous crime. Weve been looking for him for quite some time. We have photographs well distribute to you. Im going to turn it over to the chief of detectives, dean andrews, and then were going to hear from the sergeant who supervised the investigation, and then ill kol back and take your questions, okay . One of the things were going to do and provide for you today is a recap and timeline of the investigation and what got us here today. Before we do that, i want to thank the detectives, the supervisors involved for their service, their professionalismism, and their integrity was just exemplary. They worked literally 24 hours, 7 days a week. Never waifrd wavered. All of our cases are important, extremely important to us. This one was a little different. Its truly an act of barbarism. Its a 9yearold boy targeted and executed. Police officers have families as well, they have feelings as well. This one was a little different. And i truly want to highlight their professionalism, their integrity, their dedication. I mean, they went days and days and days without sleep. So with that, actually, im going to introduce sergeant will, and hes going to provide a timeline and recap of the investigation, as i said, that got us here today. Svilar. Thank you. First name . Will, william. I dont think anybody wants to here here talking about the murder of a 9yearold. Unfortunately, we were tasked to take care of this investigation. The people standing behind me, the people upstairs and conscientious members of the Community Came forward. People understand that when you have a bad element in your neighborhood, you dont run from the neighborhood. You get rid of that element. And because of that, we were able to clear this case. It started in the alley in the afternoon of november 2nd. Basically from that day on, we developed leads through interviews, through people coming in, both here and the suburbs. We developed leads that led to the vehicle and eventually led to the individuals we identified. One is charged today. Thats a good start. We have a warrant on Kevin Edwards and a third person were hoping we can develop more on and charge them as well. One of the things i think you should know is we got an awful lot of intelligence from the community. This was very clearly not a case of no snitching. But there was a lot of fear. Which is completely understandable. If you have a monster whos willing to assassinate a 9yearold, who is that person likely to do if they know somebody is cooperating with the case, detectives working on that particular murder . So thats something, if there is a positive in this, maybe that the community was very helpful in there. Unfortunately, over time by putting together some incredible work, our detectives have been able to make this case. Questions . Reporter can you talk a little bit about any of the retribution factor between this persons family and tyshawns family. Theres a number of events that precipitated this particular murder. A couple of them are murders. A couple of them are nonfatal shootings. And i really dont want to reveal too much on that because were getting close to solving a number of those and we dont want to yepdijeopardize it righ now. Reporter what role did they play in this, and what about mr. Edwards . Well, its a little bit i dont to want say unclear but it depends on whos speaking who did what. At this moment i dont think we want to reveal any of that, right, chief . There were three people, were pretty certain, acting in concert. Lets put it that way. Who pulled the trigger is all being worked on to delineate it. We do know, in fact, these are the individuals who were involved in this. Reporter did one lead the victim from the apartment into the alley and the other two were involved . He was definitely lured from the park where he was playing basketball with some friends. I guess thats the best way to describe it. Reporter can you describe the background . What was it between the families . This goes back to a number of violent episodes, including a murder. At least no, actually, two murders. Two murders that we know of. This was the third murder we know of that were able to identify in a series of events. Reporter the gentleman, the second one whos in custody but not yet charged, what is he being held on and what is his name . He was arrested for a gun charge, surprisely, right . There are gun charges in each one of these individuals backgrounds, which is why you hear me spooking about this all the time. Until such time as gun offenses in the state of illinois, were not going to get sentencing to keep them in custody and dissuade thats Chicago Police suptd Gary Mccarthy announcing firstdegree murder charges in an arrest made against 27yearold corey morgan. This in what he calls the unfathomable targeted execution of a 9yearold boy, tysean lee. Who was killed at the beginning of november, lured into an alley, the Police Superintendent says, killed as part of gang retaliation to get back on that boys father. 9 years old, 83 pounds, lured into an alley and executed as part of some gang retaliation to get back at that childs father. An arrest now made. Another person apparently in cushion today. A third Person Police are putting out for a guy named Kevin Edwards, well put up his picture in a little bit, they are searching for him, a third suspect in connection with in killing. A killing that the Police Superintendent of chicago calls unfathomable. Next up for us, isis launching a new terror attack. This is the seventh major attack in just three weeks.
