(upbeat music) ♪ Oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my ♪ It was this guy's limit for a 21 year old that was talented and that everybody loved. I'm Kevin Harris' dad. Okay, he's my son and he was named after me. (upbeat music) It was gonna be a sunny like any other even if he didn't go to church that day.
He was naive, Kevin trusting so maybe a little too much. He'd say, "Well, you gotta tell everybody I'm your son." I say, "Because I'm proud of you." My best friend, my teammate. Having been able to watch a father take his son to the park with a ball, you know, for a while, so. (upbeat music) He was making the name for himself. 'Cause I heard where Britney and Rihanna actually were interested in some of his material. Kevin always had it. The beats were great. I knew he was gonna make it. Some people have that thing where it's like, you're relentless to a point where nothing can stop you. The stuff that he was sending me was a lot of like, an R&B feel mixed with like pop. Pop and hip hop. Church, like gospel, like those chords. A lot of things were happening too quickly. ♪ We can get it poppin' ♪ ♪ We can get it poppin' ♪ ♪ Videos, camera shoots, ice cube, crack ♪ And he went to that dog on studio that night. And that happened. Last day, and he kissed me on my left cheek. He hugged me, and he just held me, and I said, "What's wrong, Kevin?" And he said, "Nothing, Mom." He said, "Everything's just happening so fast. "I feel like something's going to happen." And I said, "Don't think like that." Ten to 17 shots, two different handguns. How much do you have to kill him? A lot of suspicious things happen that night.
If the clues are absolutely out there, we just need that one piece, that one smoking gun. (gunshot) (dramatic music) (dramatic music) (indistinct chatter)
