A new company shaken up the industry Thursday morning on
Channel 2 news today.
>>> IN THIS CASES, THE SUSPECT DECIDED TO SHOOT AND THEN HE
CAME AND ACTUALLY AT ONE POINT
TOOK HIS GUN OUT THE DOOR AND
SHOT AT THE OFFICERS.
>> WE DON’T HAVE BLOOD-STAIN
PATTERNS THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE
SHOWING HE’S MOVING BACK AND
FORTH WHILE HE’S SHOT AND HAS
BEEN FIRED ON.
>> SO WHAT REALLY HAPPENED
DURING THE DEADLY BOTCHED RAID?
NINE MONTHS AGO ON HARDING
STREET?
STREET? THERE ARE STILL MANY QUESTIONS
ABOUT THIS CASE.
DID DENNIS TUTTLE SHOOT AT
OFFICERS?
OFFICERS? DID HE EVEN FIRE A SINGLE SHOT?
AND WERE POLICE OFFICERS HIT BY
POLICE OFFICERS?
POLICE OFFICERS? >> TONIGHT A PRIVATE FORENSIC
INVESTIGATOR IS TALKING
EXCLUSIVELY WITH CHANNEL 2
INVESTIGATE INVESTIGATOR
INVESTIGATE INVESTIGATOR MARIO DIAZ AFTER REVIEWING
OFFICIAL RECORDS AND SECURING
HIS OWN EVIDENCE.
♪ ♪
♪ ♪ >> THESE ARE ALL BULLETS AND
BULL BRET FRAGMENTS -- BULLET
FRAGMENTS THAT WE’VE RECOVERED
FROM THE SCENE.
>> Reporter: IT’S BEEN OVER SIX
MONTHS SINCE MICHAEL MALONEY
FIRST STEPPED INSIDE 7815
HARDING STREET.
HARDING STREET. HIRED BY THE FAMILY OF DENNIS
TUTTLE, HIS MISSION, FAR FROM
SIMPLE.
SIMPLE. DISCOVERING THE TRUTH.
>> THIS WAS VERY SURPRISING FOR
A SCENE THAT HAD BEEN ALREADY
PROCESSED.
PROCESSED. >> Reporter: HE’S A DECORATED
FORENSIC INVESTIGATOR WITH
NEARLY 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
DURING HIS VISIT TO THE HOME IN
MAY, HE RECONSTRUCTED BULLET
TRAJECTORIES AND CAREFULLY
EXAMINED THE INSIDE OF THE NOW
INFAMOUS HOME WHERE NARCOTICS
OFFICERS CARRIED OUT THE DEADLY
BOTCHED RAID.
BOTCHED RAID. >> 11844.
>> 11844. 7815 HARDING.
7815 HARDING. >> WE HAVE MULTIPLE OFFICERS
SHOT.
SHOT. >> VOA.
>> VOA. [INAUDIBLE]
[INAUDIBLE] >> I KNEW WHERE HE SPENT HIS
FINAL MOMENTS AS HE LAY DYING.
AND HIS TEETH WERE STILL THERE.
HOW DO YOU COME IN AND PROCESS A
SCENE AND LEAVE PART OF THE
VICTIM LYING ON THE FLOOR IN A
PUDDLE OF BLOOD SOME JUROR AFTER
SPENDING FOUR DAYS FOCUSED ON
DISCOVERING THE FIRST, HE’S NOW
TALKING.
TALKING. >> THIS ONE MOST LIKELY DROPS
HIM TO THE GROUND.
>> Reporter: WE SPOKE WITH
MALONEY IN HIS FIRST INTERVIEW
REGARDING HIS INVESTIGATION.
AND WHAT IT HAS PRODUCED THUS
FAR.
FAR. DOES THE NARRATIVE IN YOUR
OPINION FROM WHAT YOU’RE HEARD
FROM HPD MATCH UP IN ANY WAY?
>> NO, I DOESN’T.
>> Reporter: ONE OF THE BIGGEST
DISCOVERIES, THE ROUND MALONEY
SAYS KILLED ROW GINA NIKKO --
ROGGINA NICHOLAS HAS DNA.
>> IT ENDED HAVING A MINOR
CONTRIBUTOR OF DENNIS TUTTLE.
I WAS PLEASED BECAUSE IT ALLOWS
US TO POSITION DENNIS TUTTLE
DURING THE SHOOTING.
>> Reporter: THE WOUND REVEALS
NOT ONLY WHERE TUTTLE WAS INSIDE
THE HOME BUT ALSO THE VIEW AN
HPD HAD WHEN HE FIRED THE SHOT.
>> WHAT WE HAVE TO REALIZE IS
THAT THIS BULLET IS FIRED FROM
OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE.
THERE’S NOT A VIEW INSIDE OF THE
HOUSE.
HOUSE. NICHOLS IS SHOT BLIND.
THAT MEANS TUTTLE WAS SHOT AT
LEAST BY THAT GRAZING WOUND
ACROSS HIS FOREARM, BLIND AS
WELL.
WELL. >> Reporter: THEY DIDN’T SEE
HIM?
HIM? >> NOT FOR THAT SHOT.
>> Reporter: AT THE TIME OF
DEATH, TUTTLE WEIGHED 112
POUNDS.
POUNDS. HE HAD HIS RIGHT HAND BANDAGED
AND A LEG IN A BRACE.
HOWEVER, HPD SAYS HE WAS STILT
CAPABLE OF HITTING FOUR TRAINED
OFFICERS AFTER SURPRISING HIM
WITH A NO-KNOCK WARRANT.
HAVE YOU DISCOVERED ANYTHING
THAT SHOWS YOU THAT MR. TUTTLE
FIRED OFF A ROUND?
>> I HAVE NOT DISCOVERED ANY
EVIDENCE THAT HE’S FIRED OFF A
ROUND, NOR HAS ANY EVIDENCE BEEN
MADE AVAILABLE TO ME THAT WOULD
INDICATE THAT HE FIRED.
>> Reporter: AS FOR FRIENDLY
FIRE, IT’S IMPORTANT TO KNOW
WHAT CHIEF ART ACEVEDO SAID
HOURS AFTER FORMER NARCOTICS
OFFICER GERALD GOINES WAS
CHARGED WITH TWO COUNTS OF
MURDER.
MURDER. >> I STAND BY OUR INVESTIGATION
AND I CAN TELL I THERE’S NO
EVIDENCE OF FRIENDLY FIRE IN
THIS CASE.
THIS CASE. >> IT’S EASY TO SAY THERE’S NO
INDICATION OF FRIENDLY FIRE.
BUT FOR TRANSPARENCY SAKE, WHEN
YOU HAVE SUCH A DEBACLE AT THE
DOORWAY WITH SHOTS RAINING IN
AGAINST THE HOUSE THAT AREN’T
BEING AIMED AT INDIVIDUALS BUT
ARE JUST SHOOTING A STRUCTURING
AND EVERYTHING ELSE -- A
STRUCTURE AND EVERYTHING ELSE,
YOU WOULD THINK RATHER THAN JUST
STATE, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE, WE
WOULD SEE THIS EVIDENCE.
>> Reporter: YOU VIEW THIS AS A
COMPLETE DEBACLE.
COMPLETE DEBACLE. >> I BELIEVE I’M COMPLETELY
JUSTIFIED IN FEELING IT’S A
DEBACLE.
DEBACLE. >> Reporter: HOUSTON POLICE
CHIEF ART ACEVEDO DOES NOT WANT
TO SIT DOWN WITH US FOR AN
INTERVIEW AT THIS TIME, TELLING
CHANNEL 2 INVESTIGATES IN A
TEXT, THE DEPARTMENT IS NOT
GOING TO ENGAGE IN PUBLIC
COMMENT AND JEOPARDIZE THE
PENDING CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.
AS INDICATED, MICHAEL MALONEY IS
AN EXPERT WITH NEARLY 30 YEARS
OF EXPERIENCE.
OF EXPERIENCE. AND WHILE HE ASSISTED
PROSECUTORS IN THE AMBER GUYGER
WRONGFUL SHOOTING CASE IN
DALLAS, HE’S WORKING PRIVATELY
FOR THE FAMILIES IN THIS MATTER.
HOWEVER, DOMINIQUE AND BILL,
MALONEY HAS TURNED OVER KEY
EVIDENCE HE AND HIS TEAM
RECOVERED TO THE HARRIS COUNTY
DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE.
