(02:43):
Texas. Of course, there's a guy by the
name Ricky Pinoa, Pinoa Pinoa and his girlfriend, Brenda
Delgado. They had been they have been
dating on a little while and they have moved in together
after only three months. What?
Yeah. What is tripping me might be
dealing with a whole nut out here.
And they put the other power. Now Ricky is studying at the

(03:09):
University of Texas S Southwest Medical Center where in he he
had moved to Texas from California to do his residency
in a dermatology. Right now, Brenda, she has came
with child, but Brenda's got a baby.
But Brenda's barely got a brain.But anyway, she aborts the baby
because she got her own thing. She got some life to live.
She trying to do right now. She said she can't be time

(03:31):
trying to tie down to no baby right, so she stops all of that
and they have been dating for they have been dating since
2012, but that all came to an end in 2015 after about three
years of dating. Your boy Ricky said hey man, I
got time for this shit. I'm need to move on to green up
pastors. Brenda, you was a nut and I

(03:54):
don't want to be with you no more.
That's what he said and in aboutand it only a couple of months
in May, Ricky is back in these streets and he is dating a
dentist by the name of Kendra Hatchett.
Yeah, she is a dentist, bro. And I could, I'm pretty sure she
was like, man, what that mouth do?

(04:18):
So. So yeah, she's already a
dentist. She has her own practice, right?
She's she's older, she's workingin the dentist office.
So, you know, she has she has her own, she's already a
dentist. She already got that big break
coming in right now. Ricky and Kendra, they didn't
only been dating for like a little while and he already has
flew her out to see his parents.The crazy part about all that is

(04:39):
he dated Brenda three years and now one time did he say hey I
want to take her there to meet my parents?
Oh, man, I know Brenda is hurt, and the reason why I know she is
hurt because she has been tracking his phone through Find
My Phone on iPhone. Yeah, they was on the same
account. She still got all the passwords.

(04:59):
So she's checking messages, emails, the way he's moving his
contacts. Yeah, a whole cycle out here.
But anyway, so she sees these messages going down the timeline
and she has been stalking him, following to her house, I mean,
to the other lady's house, I mean, Hatcher's house, his

(05:20):
house. She just been basically watching
his phone move and cry. You know what you want me to do?
Shot the Syberet rum. I'm pretty sure this is what
Brittany, Nicole and Danger does, but whatever.
Oh, yeah, Yeah. Shout out.
Y'all can see y'all send y'all, all the guys.
If y'all single send DMS to Tiffany from Money and Mystery,

(05:41):
she's single and ready to mingle.
Yeah, but you know that what it was doing.
She was just sitting up here watching that little dot move,
Trace, follow him and cry. Weird, really weird.
And yeah, so Ricky has decided that he's going to take Kendra

(06:05):
to Cancun for the weekend. It's Labor Day weekend, because
it was Labor Day weekend coming up already just passed.
I can't remember what what I mean, I know it's I know exact
day, but I but I'm pretty sure that's Labor Day weekend.
So he's going to Cancun, right? Whatever.
But you know, Brenda ain't goingfor all that.
You ain't gonna be taking her toCancun because it's only a

(06:27):
couple of reason why you go to Cancun.
These two already got money. They ain't got no kids.
They could be going for two things.
He's a friend of proposal or proposed a marriage.
Same time they got money, right?And Brenda is looking like hell.
He took me nowhere. Yeah.

(06:48):
She wanted to eat flats and catch flights and she was
getting neither. She was getting neither, she was
getting neither. And look, I don't I don't wanna
say she had to been basic crazy,but he let her go that easy and
moved on. But he couldn't wait to get away
from that woman dog. So of course he did give Brenda

(07:13):
a promise from what it was dating and he promised not to
leave her. But like I tell all y'all.
Yeah, how? How good are promises?
Really bro? I'm put like this and somebody

(07:38):
got a forewarn you or some shit.I guarantee they're gonna do it.
If you say hey, I promise you I'll never leave you.
Hey, it's a good chance that leaving it's a good chance that
guy is going to leave you dog. I can't get it you see women

(08:01):
don't give guys promise ring first.
You *** wouldn't accept it or you can leave that damn.
So anyway, she wants, she is pissed off at this point.
She she doesn't want Kendra on that flight.
She wants Kendra away from her man's.

(08:25):
That ain't her man's. So she she knows the lady by the
name of Crystal Cortez. Right now, Crystal Cortez is a a
single mother struggling out here.
Her baby daddy ain't doing shit for her.
But the crazy part is that Crystal Cortez knows Kendra.

(08:46):
Yeah, and they've been talking alittle while and Crystal has
informed her that she thinks theonly reason why Ricky and came
back to Brenda Delgado's crazy ass is because of Kendra.
No, that has nothing to do with it.
He ain't came back to to the Brenda ass cause Brenda is that
shit crazy herself. Don't nobody want to deal with
that. Especially this guy.

(09:08):
He can't be dealing with crazy and trying to be a
dermatologist. He ain't losing his license
because she's crazy. That's crazy.
But anyway, so she heard her andCrystal have been talking and at
this point she's built up the hatred, A hatred for for for for
Kendra and she wants her dead. I want to be his cut off like

(09:33):
right now, not tomorrow, right now.
This whole got to go right now, right.
So she knows that Crystal is down on her look and she like,
hey, man, I give you $500 to go kill a bitch.
And of course, Cortez is broken shit.
She's like, yeah, I I can do that.
I could swing that, right? So for the next couple of weeks,

(09:56):
they are following Karen and Ricky from house to house, job
to job, airport to air, airport to airport, movie theater, you
name it. These fools have been following
for weeks and all Kendra can do,not all Kendra, all Delgado can

(10:18):
do is cry and pray he answer hertext it, say delivered it say
red and then nothing. So you know she's seeing red At
this point. She's like, man, why you answer
my phone? Well, maybe, maybe you don't
want to talk to you, lady. He already put you out of the
apartment. He already put you out of the

(10:41):
apartment. He didn't want to be with you
like what did you? What do you want him to do?
I'm sure he knows you following his wife and his girlfriend, but
I doubt that because the first thing I would have did was put
off my plan because they were still on the same.
I or I don't understand you could, but they had the bad to
be on that family share shit, not the family share billing

(11:05):
cycle, but you know an iPhone when you go in that room like
family or family 360 all that they had to be on that.
The thing about that is that's probably something she set up
because if he would have set it up he would have immediately
turned that shit off because he would have known that Lady knew
everywhere he was at. She said that up I guarantee it
because why she don't want looking at because if you would

(11:26):
have seen her follow her or he would have been somewhere and
he's seen her in close proxy to me.
I'm sure he would have approached her and told her stop
following me because I would have or he should have kicked
the ass whatever stop following me.
But anyway, so for the next two weeks, they start planning on
how they want to, they want to get rid of her.
Right now, Crystal was like, hey, we could rob her.

(11:47):
We could just kidnap her. We could shoot her.
We could make her look like a robber going bad, all kind of
things. But as it's getting closer and
closer to Labor Day, getting closer and closer to that Cancun
trip, your girl Crystal getting answered.
She like, I can't do this. We got to find somebody else.
We got to find somebody else andthey knew what this little dude

(12:10):
named Christopher Love and he was he's been in trouble since
he was a teen, you know, burglary, home invasion,
assault, you name it. He didn't did it in his teens.
But he's also out there selling nut, the seller selling a little
bit of weed, right? So they run up there and buy him
some, they buy some weed from him, right?
And they give him a proposition like, hey, man, what they bought

(12:30):
some weed from they started smoking and they started just
talking right, asking what he had going on.
He's like, shit, nothing, just trying to get this, get this
stable off the ground. And of course they're like
stable. And what are you talking about?
This fool said he wants to starta prostitution ring.
Now that's just the how they call it a document.

(12:51):
But I don't deal with this fool and say he wants to start a
prostitution ring. He basically said, hey, man, I'm
trying to put me some holes on the strobe.
And that's what that's that's his ultimate goal was to get him
a stable. And he the stable is 10 when you
call my when you count hold, that's a that's a that's a
stable team. One or two.
You doing bad, bro? If one or two, they mean you
need to got their work. But whatever he he told him he

(13:12):
wants stable holes. And this perked interest of
Brenda cause Brenda was like, I could help you with that.
But I got, I got, I got I need some help with the situation.
I got He's like, what is it? He's like, it's this lady named
Kendra Hatter. She's been messing with my man
and I want this bitch dead. She said I want to be dead and I

(13:36):
need to be dead immediately, right?
So he like cool. Like what are you gonna do?
She she basically, he basically told her, she basically told him
that she could provide him with,she could provide him with

(14:01):
drugs, the cartel, no drugs and some influence from the cartel
like the drugs. She's going to get us some drugs
and get us some. If she get us some drugs, she's
going to get the cartel to help her with some cash because she
knows people in the cartel. Now I'm going to tell you right
now that is fine bullshit because nobody sits and say,

(14:25):
hey, I'm with the cartel. And if you do say that, you
weren't supposed to say it. They had a cartel mover and they
definitely don't want people walking around telling people,
other people that they are in the cartel.
That's not how that shit work. That's not how it work.
But anyway, she sells him this lie and he's like, cool, let's

(14:48):
get it, Let's get it right. So for the next couple, for the
next couple of days, they have been following.
Now it's three of them now it's three of them because they had
met, they had met him over in the Mandalay apartments and he
took them inside their apartment.
That's why they were smoking andsetting up their genius plan.

(15:09):
And so of course after that theystart following her, following
her and him because they got to know like they trying to, they
got to learn the route because you guys can you run up on
killing them? You just can't run up and kill
people, right? Well, you can, but I mean, if
you're trying to plan this out and get away, you might want at
least know where they frequent, where they stay or routes they
take, something like that, right?

(15:30):
I mean, that's what I would do. But hey, who am I?
So they start following her and every day is like different
texts on what they should do. And your boy Christopher,
Christopher was like, hey, man, maybe it should just be a
robbery going back. Maybe she got a robbery going

(15:51):
bad. And it was like, you know what,
That'll be a smart idea. But we can't do that in my car.
I'm going to have to set something up, get a car, do
this, do that, and we're going to get it because I need.
I can't see. She said, I can't be nowhere
near this. And they're like, cool, you
ain't got to be. Whatever is it is what it is.
It's up there trying to get thisstable off the ground.
We got to get it. How we going to live it, right?

(16:13):
So bam, it is. Yeah, it is September 2nd,
right? It is September 2nd, Kendra and
Kendra and and Rick is because of the flight later, right,
right. But this morning before they

(16:34):
leave, you know Brenda has already spoke with Cortez and so
she went and picked her up, right Because Cortez son is at
school, right? So she go picks up, she goes
pick up Cortez and her BMW. Then she head over to her
friend's shop by the game and a guy by the name Jose Ortiz and

(16:59):
she gives him the BMW for him tocheck to check because she said
something was wrong with it, which was all bullshit.
She she gives him the car and hegives her a loaner of a Jeep
Cherokee. Now peep this bro.
First off, you can't just be dropping your BMW off at any old
shop to if you're getting a loaner car, ship that loaner car

(17:20):
be of value what you drive because you can't go in and turn
in this BMW and they give me a Jeep Cherokee and look Oh, and
if you was going to give him a Jeep, it would had to been a
Wrangler because them shits is expensive.
You're not giving me a Jeep Cherokee when I just gave you a
BMW because 9 out of 10 like theJeep Cherokee, the Jeep Wrangler
could be more than BMW. That's what I'm saying.

(17:41):
That's the only thing you could give me.
But then again, bro, what kind of shopping?
You don't just drop ABMD off at any old shop.
But anyway, this is what they do.
So she drops she so she drops her car off and she gets a Jeep,
right. So now it's Brenda and this
Cortez now like, hey, we got to go pick up.
We got to go pick up Christopherright now.

(18:06):
No, I let's take it back people.I messed up real quick.
They wouldn't picked up Christopher before they got the
car. Thing is, it was just her,
Cortez and Christopher before they got to the before they got
to the to where he's going to get the Jeep from.
They dropped quartet. I mean, they dropped Christopher
off at Jack-in-the-box because they didn't want him in the car.
Because again, I think you bought Jose Ortiz likes Brenda,

(18:29):
right? So they go make the exchange,
right after the exchange, they go pick Christopher back up from
the from the jack-in-the-box, right?
They go inside a convenience store where he buys a black
shirt, some gloves, and Cortez grabs her a hoodie.
So you telling me they didn't have none of the supplies they
needed? Are you going to buy all this in
the crocodile, bro? You telling me you ain't got a

(18:49):
black shirt anyway? He's dressed in all black right,
Air Force One in there. He on demon time homework.
I don't have black hoodie right,but he do got the hammer on him.
He had him a Smithson Wesson 40 Cal.
He do got the hammer on him thatthat's the one thing he do got.
That's probably the most important thing he needed
because bro, you should have hadain't no way you didn't already

(19:12):
have some all black. It don't make sense.
That just don't make sense right?
So they drop off Brenda at a library.
Brenda, why are you at a libraryright, so they dropped Brenda
off at the library and not just Cortez and Chris.
They drive off to the to the dentist right where Kendra works

(19:34):
right. But after sitting there for a
little while they realize Kendraain't there.
They didn't drove around this parking lot.
They just sat in this parking lot.
She wasn't going on lunch. She ain't here today, right?
So they was like Cortez, like, damn, I gotta go pick up my son.
So she drives Christopher back to his apartment, the Mandalay.

(19:58):
Then she goes picks her son up from school, takes him to her
Grandma Hall house, drops him off, goes back to the Mandalay
and picks Christopher up. You're like, damn.
So wait, like, what the hell is she at?
Because you know, it must not belike.

(20:19):
The reason why they was at that dentist office because one, they
know she works there. Two, I'm pretty sure Brenda
asked have been watching them text.
But The thing is, I mean, she ain't got to text my gonna be at
work tomorrow because they can just call.
So she probably had already informed Ricky that she wasn't
gonna be there. So that's why you got these

(20:39):
idiots sitting up at the dentistoffice if she ain't there.
So anyway, they know where she stays.
So they drive to the apartment, but you can't get in and secure
garage, right? So after one car goes in, they
go in right behind it, right? And they just sit and wait and
they just waiting for her to come in, right?
So they know she drives the white car right in.
This is a white car. And you know, they sit up in

(21:00):
the, they sit up in the car, they sit up in the parking
garage. They're back in where they can
like see everything coming and going right.
And all of a sudden at 742, theysee Kendra pull into the parking
lot. Yep.
They see Kendra pull into the parking lot.
And when she pulls into the parking lot, they watch her
park, right? And she's like right in front of

(21:22):
them. So as she's parking, Christopher
has put on his gloves, got the hammer back out and he is hopped
out the car and he's running up to the car, right.
And when when Kendra open the door, he said, I put hands up.
She puts her hands up. He put the guns right to the
back of head Bow, bow, bow shoots her.
She falls out the car right. He reaches inside the car and he

(21:44):
grabs her bag right. And then he then as he, as he
gets up and as he pulls the bag out while the magazine falls
out. The gun.
Yeah, the magazine falls out thegun right by Kendra's body.
Does he pick it up? No.

(22:05):
He ain't got no time for that. He runs off, homie runs off.
Homie leaves the magazine. Brad, what kind of world are you
living in, gang? You can't be leaving that type
of evidence. That's good you caught every

(22:26):
time. But anyway, he runs off and he
runs back to the car and that was his POV from Kendra's point
of view. By the time she parked the car,
he didn't hopped out. I mean by the time once he saw
the once once once they saw her homeboy hotter the car and took
off running rather where she wasat.
And that's when she heard bye bye.
She heard multiple shots and sheheard a woman scream and then

(22:50):
she as at this point she panics.She puts that shit in drive
about to drive off and that's when he hops back in the car
like she didn't see him coming. This was quick and you know
Brenda, I'm not Brenda. Kendra had been shot in the back
of the head and it came out her chin right, several spinal cord
right. So at this time, they are

(23:14):
speeding around the parking lot trying to leave.
But there is another guy at the scene named Hashim Sahid.
He's coming off the elevator. He hears the shooting and then
he hears the car and he sees a black Jeep driving around the
parking lot. And at that time, instead of
getting back on the elevator, just playing up, pressing up on

(23:36):
the elevator, he hops out the elevator and he sprints to his
Corvette and hops in it. Bro, why don't you just go back
up the elevator, right? So he hops in, he hops into his
Corvette and all of a sudden youthe Jeep flies right behind him,
right. So I'm guessing, I'm guessing

(23:59):
Cortez sees that the car is has been cranked up because when he
backs out to head to the exit inhis rearview mirror, he said he
sees them spin that bug around and come right behind him.
And he said as he goes up the ramp and goes around thing they
got there in the storage. So I mean, they're in a parking

(24:19):
garage. So I know he had to go up, go
around, come down, do all those extra right as he gets to the
floor with, with where Hatcher'sbody is.
Well, he don't know how about ityet.
As he's driving past, he sees a woman's body laying next to a
Toyota on the outside of a car. And he said he was going to stop
because he, he, he ended up calling police.

(24:41):
He saw the body, but he didn't know who those were following
him. So he just kept going.
He got the guy. He he pressed the button, got
out the garage, busted right, busted left, another right.
He was, he was hiding. He was like hell Nah.
So when EMS arrived, they found her laying on the ground under
the door. And that's when they realized

(25:02):
like she's dead on arrival. She was it was it was signs of a
robbery. And you know, they found a
bullet fragment beside her body and a whole magazine clip.
Now, that's the thing about thatbro.
You know for a fact this guy didnot load this gun with gloves.
No, he probably loaded it yesterday.

(25:23):
He he wasn't even thinking when he was loading it.
So, you know, he got his fingerprints on the magazine.
He got his fingerprints on the, on the, on the, on the bullets.
His fingerprints is everywhere, gang, everywhere.
Like, bro, you're cooked, right?So, yeah.
So at this time, the EMS have came.
They've picked the body up and transferred it.

(25:45):
At this point, your boy Chris, Christopher and Cortez, they
have made it to an abandoned house in Pleasant Grove where
they have pulled the pulled the the paper plates off.
They pulled the paper plates off.
They have took off the hoodie, the black shirt, the gloves.

(26:05):
They, they did all this stuff. And after that, she takes him to
back to the Mandalay where he lays his head at night and drops
him off. And this Cortez heads back to
Grandma House and gets her son. Yeah.

(26:27):
Then she goes back to she calledabout about 9:00 and 10:00.
I mean, between 9:00 and 10:00 because this happened, the
murder happened between 8:00 and9:00 because they made a
support. Kendra pulled into the parking
lot at 742, right? So between 9:00 and 10:00,
Brenda calls Cortez and say, hey, is the task done?

(26:50):
And she's like, rock a bye, baby.
Yeah, basically. I don't know.
Yeah, that shit is over with. This bitch is out of here.
Yeah. So after they after that she

(27:10):
sends her the address and where she can meet him at with the
being with the Jeep so they could all exchange cars.
Crazy part is Brenda is out on having dinner with Jose Ortiz.
Now I'm kind of confused with Jose Ortiz because *** is you an
accomplice or is you green? Which one is it?

(27:34):
Which one is it? So anyway, they make it back to
that, They make it to that. She makes it to the address
before Ortiz and Brenda does. And when they get there, she
gets out the car. She has the purse, the paper
tags the the, the purse, the paper tags the hoodies, the
black shirt and her child. And they exchanged chorus.

(27:55):
He gets in the Jeep, they get inthe BMW and he drives off.
Now Brenda and Cortese, they drive to another parking lot
where they transfer all that evidence they got on them to the
to Brenda's Lexus. So now you had evidence, you
have evidence traced back to four cars.
Homeboy reached into the into Kendra's car when he killed her

(28:18):
to take the purse. Then they got back in the Jeep,
that's the second car. Then they hopped in the BMW,
that's the third car and that istransferred all that evidence
into the 4th car, which is the Lexus.
And when they hop into Lexus, where do you think they on their
way to? Bro?
They headed back to grandma house.
What? So why did you pick your child

(28:39):
up if you knew y'all was just gonna come back to grandma house
anyway? I'm starting to think that
Cortez didn't notice go back to her grandma house but Brandon
knew she wasn't taking that shitto know where she frequent
because again she already told y'all I can't be a part of this.
So my thing is she had already said we can go somewhere where
you be at. So they went back over to the
hug grandma house where they leta bonfire and burns up all the

(29:01):
evidence right right. So this day is over so nice.
September 3rd, 2015 and Cortez called Brenda.
It was like I want to get my bread right.
So Brenda me some Cortez, she gives it a 500 and I'm like I'm
looking at like me $500 bread even in 2015 there with no

(29:23):
money. What was you about to do with
this five? You a single mother, you staying
with the grandma, It's obvious you ain't got no job, but
whatever. So after that, she gets in the
$5 and they go meet up with yourboy Christopher Love, right?
They gave Chris Christopher love.
Some kush, some cocaine, and themoney that was inside of Karen's

(29:47):
wallet when he killed her and the purse when he killed her.
This is why this is so dumb. One bro, you already dropped
your magazine on this lady's body.
Now you telling me you grab thislady's purse and didn't even
look in it? Because one thing I would have
said he I would have, if I've been Christopher, I would have
snatched all that cash up out ofthere then.

(30:09):
So by the time they came back topay me, they would have to come
with some more money 'cause thatmoney right there is long gone.
But no, Christopher is literallyworking.
This guy is literally working backwards.
Like, bro, how you didn't check the purse?
How you gonna let some give you some?
You, you did what she needed themost.

(30:33):
I mean, hey, like I was here about this criminal, a smart
brother. They not they not this.
This proves my point every time.This proves my point every
single time. This guy is literally working
backwards, right? So anyway, it is the it's the
third right now. This murder has been all over
TV. Ricky's been crying and he's

(30:55):
scared for his life now 'cause he'll know how this happened.
He just know that when he was texting her where you at, where
you at, where you at, he wouldn't get no response.
And I'm telling you right now Brenda was looking at some text
messages like she did bitch, shedid.
Now what? Now call me so you can take me
pick me. All right, So anyway, after

(31:17):
after the after the vehicle has been placed all over the news,
Jose Ortiz is watching the news.He like, hey, man, that's my
car. So he calls the police say, hey,
man, yeah, that's my car. I saw it on the news.
But that wasn't me driving. I let a lady by the name of
Brenda Delgado borrow my car. And yeah, and I mean, you could
check my phone and you can search that car.

(31:38):
I don't want no parts of this. So, you know, your boy Ortiz is
giving up all the goods. He like, man, I don't want no
piece of this. Now this is the finesse part on
me. Now what if he already knew this
chick was playing him right? Because he knew she needed that
car right? What if, what if, what if what
if he was playing her too right?What if she was trying to
finesse him but he didn't finesse her in a in a hitting it

(32:01):
and turn the bitch in because look here you thought I was
stupid, but jokes on you gang. So he called the police and told
him exactly where to find her. You know, after they searched
his car, they took all the Ballistics.
It was four sets of prints up inthere.
He is in three unidentified at that time.
They go and have a talk with Bruno Delgado, 'cause when they

(32:23):
call her on his phone, they ask her to meet him at the station
and she she complies. She goes right down there.
She has No Fear. She's like, I ain't got nothing
to hide. I ain't did nothing wrong.
What's up? So when they get down there,
they ask her does she know? They basically ask her did she
borrow or a Jeep from from Jose Cortese mechanic shop and she

(32:47):
was like, yeah, I was getting a little work on my done on my
car. So yeah, I had, I had a loaner,
but he'll it wouldn't me drown it.
I let I let Crystal Cortese borrow it.
He'll I mean, shit, I I didn't have it here at matter of fact,
me and him went out to dinner that night.
I didn't even had a car. And it was like, hold up, hold
up, hold up. You got a loan of car from him

(33:10):
and then you loaned it to somebody else and then he took
you out to dinner. Well, yeah, I I ain't got top of
this shit. OK.
Now, why did you give the car toCortez?
Like, I don't know, she, she needs to use the car pick up or
something. School, you know, nothing major.

(33:31):
So I just got to hold on to whatmy car was getting fixed.
You know, I'm just helping a friend out right now that the,
the the tech is like, man, the bullshit, bullshit.
We got this, we got this car down and we, we have this curve.
We have this car at the locationof a murder, a murder line lady.

(33:54):
Do you have anything to say about that?
She did. Look, I ain't got nothing to say
now if you if you arrested me ornot because you didn't arrest
me. I don't want no parts of this
and like, well, you can go, but I'm they had already got her.
They had already got Cortez's contact information.
She gave it to him. And when Delgado look about that
station, she fled her ass to Mexico.

(34:16):
I will vote for Donald Trump. Yeah, she headed straight to
Mexico because she was a citizenover there, right.
So the very next day, they go hit up Cortez and they asked
her, does she know Brenda Delgado and has she been in a
Jeep lately? And she was like, hey, man, I
don't know what the hell you were talking about.

(34:36):
And it was like, hey, Delgado has already turned her back on
you, gay. She said she let you borrow a
car. She don't know what you did in
it. And she's like, what?
Yes. And not only that, if a guy
named Jose said he's seen you with the truck, his truck, and

(35:01):
we have the truck in evidence and we're pulling all kinds of
fingerprints. So you sure?
You telling me you've never beenin his truck?
Right. So after being confronted with
that evidence, he said, yeah, I was in the truck, but I ain't
kill nobody. I was a guy named Christopher.

(35:21):
He shot that woman. I was just a driver.
You like Christopher who? His name is Christopher Love.
He'd be driving his raggedy ass Sebring with Texas with
Tennessee plates on it and like,oh, really?
And do you have his phone number?
He said, yeah, I have his phone number because.
But they're going to try to track it, right?

(35:42):
They're going to try to see if his name came up.
They're going to track that number, right?
But since this was a Metro PCs, you can pretty much go on and
tell him your name is who the fuck you wanted to be and that's
what it's going to be. But hopefully you put on a
correct address just in case it should happen and they had to
send you a phone. So basically they are trying to
track down his address because the phone number came back to a

(36:04):
guy named Casino Jackson. I guess that was going to be his
pimp name. I guess that was going to be his
pimp name. Gay.
I'm guessing that was going to be his pimp name.
But anyway, that number goes back to an address that he
frequents because Cortez has already told him that I picked
him up from the Mandalay Apartments in this address was

(36:28):
at the Mandalay Apartments. So they're gonna like, we got a
pretty good, this is a pretty good Intel right here.
And she is booked. But you know, I know I really
only focus on the guys, black guys on my stories, 'cause yeah,
let me tell you something. Home girl, she gonna work with
the beds. She she, she wants to see her

(36:49):
son. She wants to hug her son again.
A1 day, right? So at this time they started
pinging that phone of, of, of Christopher love, right?
And it took about a month to getsome of this stuff rolling.
But on October 1st, they finallygot the warrants they needed and
they had rolled up on the apartments where they assumed

(37:10):
Christopher would be at. Now they locate the car, but
they haven't seen him yet. They sit out there for a couple
hours and eventually he comes out of an apartment, right?
He comes out of a partner and hehops in the Sebring right now
the police, they want to make sure they got all the IS crossed
and all the T's dotted right. Oh, I got I messed up.
I got all the T's crossed and all the IS dotted right.

(37:31):
So when this car is moving, so is the phone, but to make to
just to just to make sure they ping it anyway, right?
And yeah, the, the car and the phone is moving at the car, the
phone and Chris is moving all atthe same time in the same
direction at the same speed. So I'm just going to say we got

(37:52):
the right *** over here, right? So your boy Chris, well, he
pulls up to this parking lot andhe meets up with this this dude,
this woman, and he got the car and he is talking now Detective
Thomas, he sees them talking, right?
And he was, and he already got on the horn.
I'm like, hey, I'm going to, I'mgoing to make contact.
I'm going to approach them. Just going to see what shakes
from here on up. I'm just going to see what
shakes, right. So he up to them, right?

(38:14):
And he's like, are you Christopher?
And he said, yeah, my name is Chris was like, hey, man, I had
to ask you a couple questions about your name came up a little
investigation we got going on, right?
And he said me, Chris was basically man, my name ain't
camping. No motherfucking investigation
because I ain't did shit. All that shit is behind me, bro.
So whoever telling you all that bullshit, tell him to come back
with a warrant or, or some or some hard evidence because the

(38:36):
shit you telling me right now ispure nonsense.
Right now, Detective Thomas, he knows this guy's full of shit.
So as he's talking, as Chris wastalking all this yin Yang, he
sees a phone on the back of the Sebring.
The detective just pull this phone out 'cause it it rings.
Christopher picks it up like right in front of him.

(38:58):
Are you idiot? He said.
Oh, well, this is the number that is being associated with
what I'm telling you about. And you have to come down to the
station and he was detained and took and took downtown to the
police to the Dallas police station, right.
And when they get him down the police station, they asked him a
couple questions like do you know a lady named Brenda Delgado
in a Crystal Cortez? He said, man, I don't know what

(39:21):
the fuck you talking about. I don't know who you talking
about? I don't know what's this about?
So I mean, miss me with all the small talk, why am I here?
And they say, OK, well, we, well, we have towed your car and
we have been documenting it and taking everything into evidence.
And we found a 40 Cal Smith and Wesson back there.
Is it yours? I mean, it's matches, matches

(39:45):
matches the same caliber of, of bullet that was found at a crime
scene about a month ago. Do you, is this your gun?
He's like, yeah, that's my gun. I just bought it 2 days ago.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what?
I do know Chris Cortese. Yeah, I bought her like a couple
days ago. Yeah, yeah, I bought him Crystal
Cortez. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mexican chick. Yeah, I bought it from her.

(40:07):
We set up, we smoked a little bit and I bought the gun from
her. Yeah, that's what happened, Sir.
And like this happened a couple of days ago.
Yeah, a couple days ago. Maybe 2-3 days ago, *** I mean,
right around a couple days ago. Really 123?
I don't know. It wasn't five.
It was a couple days ago. And then they they like,
interesting because Cortez has been in jail a month.

(40:27):
She got no bond and she got no money.
He like, Are you sure we talk about the San Cortez?
So at that point he was booked, is it a Dallas County jail for

(40:48):
capital murder, right. And the first thing he do when
he get down there and get bookedand go through process and get
his orange jumpsuit or whatever jumpsuit they wear in Dallas,
first thing he do was get on thephone.
He calls his girlfriend. You know, he got to call his
Boo. One thing inmates have to do is
call their girlfriend and give them a good cussing out.
But for no reason, no reason. I'm in jail, bitch, put some

(41:11):
money on my books. Hope for no reason, no reason at
all. But anyway, first thing he does,
he gets on the phone, he says he, he calls and say, hey, man,
I've been arrested. Yeah, man, I got, I got
arrested, man. They she said, she said why did
you keep the gun? He said, I don't know, man, I'm

(41:34):
stupid as fuck. No shit, Sherlock, no shit.
And she said if you shot the girl you should have thrown it
away or something. And he he replies, I know, man,
I know. But it's too late now.
I'm cooked. I'm cooked, I'm cooked, right?

(41:59):
I'm cooked. Because at this point he sits in
jail. No bun.
I mean, no, he had a bun. It was like a million.
He wasn't making that birth. He wasn't making that.
They just paid him pennies for murder and he he wasn't making
that. He don't go to trial till 2018.
But and that's when Cortez takesthe stand because she has
already agreed to plead to, she has already pleaded guilty and

(42:21):
was going to testify against hisass and she was sentenced to 35
years. She got up and said we got to
Kendra's place, Chris hopped outthe car.
All I heard was gunshot screaming.
He ran back, hopped in that car with all her shit and we drove
off and she was like, I was justa struggling mother trying to
trying to survive out here. I didn't, I didn't have nothing.

(42:41):
I needed money and I mean I justneeded money and it was like,
well, $500. How far was it really going to
take you? You got caught in three days,
you got caught in a handful of days.
Y'all plan to murder longer thanyou without after you got caught
right And she ended up getting 35 years right now at the trial.

(43:05):
They also talked to they also talked to Ricky, Ricky Pennigua.
He was like, yeah, man, I knew something was wrong because she
went answering my texts. She went answering my call.
And that was strange. We talking texts all day.
I'm over her spot. She had my spot and not to
mention was going to Cancun. So I couldn't understand why she
didn't answer the phone. She actually, she she had

(43:28):
appointments that day, but she was out at another location and
that's why these idiots couldn'tkill her at the location because
she was somewhere else. The so, yeah, he just finally
said like, I, I didn't know Brenda was that crazy.
I didn't know she was tracking my phone.

(43:49):
Like I said, I knew he didn't know.
That's why I know he didn't set up all that iPhone shit because
he wasn't concerned about her. She was concerned about him.
He, he, he didn't care what she was doing.
It, it is what it is. Whatever, Right.
So, so, yeah, so he didn't know he was being tracked.
He didn't know that his phone was being watched.
So she probably had, she had theiPhone, the MacBook, all that

(44:11):
shit probably had it all open because you know, once you take
the iPhone, if you got your iPadconnected, your MacBook
connected, that's just reading all across the board and don't
have no other phones and across the house that still connect to
the Wi-Fi with the I with the I miss down there, they getting
tapped up too. So you might as well turn all
that shit off, right? So anyway, he spoke and then

(44:33):
they also spoke to Hassi Hashem Shaheed, the one who saw them.
And that he, he testified that he saw that he heard the shots
and he saw the black Jeep and hesaw them bust at UE to get out
the gate and they follow behind him.
And he was another one that led to like that told a good story
about what's going on because hecould, the truck was directly
behind him and he heard the shots and he heard the scream.

(44:56):
And it was that he realized thathe it was only them in that
parking lot when he drove up outof there and he saw Kendra's
body right now, this trial only lasted a couple days and your
boy was found guilty as shit. And he got the death penalty
right now, a month later at the at the sentencing phase.
Well, they already got the deathpenalty.

(45:16):
His mother talked, his daddy talked, his sister talked.
And they were just up there, BooHoo, crying, wanting to save
they baby. He ain't a bad guy at all.
He's the best uncle we ever had.He did this, he did that.
But his mother was like, yeah, my, he grew up rough.
He had to get how he lived. He had to do this that and the
other, you know, but he is not abad guy.
Bullshit. He just shot somebody because he

(45:39):
wanted to start up because he wanted to get have a gang of
hookers working for him. So he was going to jail one way
or the other. He was look, he killed this
lady, But if he would have got away, he'd have been beaten up
Hookers Like what do you mean like Brett?
He was he been young, right? But anyway, while his family is
just fine, you know, all throughthe trial, Christopher, he

(46:00):
didn't make a sound. He he didn't make eye contact
with nothing. But when his family got up there
that broke and he hopped up, he kicks the table and the judge
hits the his the his the gavel is the order in the court.
He tells everybody to leave. They put Christopher and
covenant take him to the back and they give him a breathing 5
minutes. I'm about 20 minutes and they
didn't bring the jury back in. He was basically like, I didn't

(46:21):
mean to kick that desk as a thread or trying to intimidate
anything. It was just it was just a lot to
take, just a lot to take. Listen to my family.
So I didn't mean no respect on that, Your honor.
And your honor, the judge give them a pass on it, right.
But after that he was, he was given life in prison and the

(46:42):
judge basically told him that, hey, love, you are going to get
death penalty. You have death to the penalty by
lethal injection and you're going to be an all solitary
confinement unit at Alan B Polinsky and where you will be
housed in a single man cell for 22 hours of lockdown and even
and even during wreck you will still be alone.
There will be no phone access, there will be no TV, there will

(47:05):
be no contact visits. And if you do appeal it will
take three years and if you fight it, it could take even
longer. And he said this is even too
much for even the most ruthless of people who seem to sometime
take mattress into their own hands.
And he banged the gavel and theywalked Crystal there right up
out of here. And he is where he at.

(47:28):
And oh, what happened to Brenda.Oh, cool.
Let me just backtrack a little bit.
Brenda, when she fled, stayed inside.
When she fled, they didn't pick her ass back up.
She didn't make it back to the States to October 2016.
She was almost gone a year. And when she went to trial, she
was convicted. She she was convicted and got

(47:49):
life without parole. And she is basically at the
William P Hobby Women's unit in Maryland in Falls County.
Yeah. It didn't go with her.
Like, you still didn't get Ricky.
Ricky is still not there for you, lady.
Ricky. Ricky.

(48:10):
He's still gone now. What is Ricky doing these days?
Ricky says after that murder, Ricky had already had been
offered a job to do said dermatology at office in San
Francisco. I mean, not San Francisco, in
Sacramento, in his home state ofCalifornia.
And this murder, it just took him back home because he was

(48:30):
like, oh, no. But the thing about it, this is
how I knew him. And that Lady is about to get
married. Because if he was accepting this
job and this dentist was on him like that, she was going.
She'd already met his parents. They only been dating two
months. He is.
She met his parents home, graduated him three years, never
met him. She was a horrible girlfriend.
I guarantee you. Yeah, but that is the end of

(48:53):
this Christopher love. He will never see the light of
day ever again. Look man, sauce a problem ain't
no ain't no joke bro. I guarantee you ain't no joke.
You ain't trying to be locked down for 22 hours a day and when
you is released on wreck you still by yourself bro.
You're gonna you doll. You don't even know the days are
changing. You don't even know the days are

(49:16):
