8:35 am
your mind as weird things to you. cuz at 1st i thought who was that girl? they looked like dolls actually the room was so quiet and i knew she was gone because there is no spirit in their room. there was dead. on january 18th, 2018. jasmine willis was killed by her partner terrace. for dillard, he shot or at least 6 times with a glock $22.00 pistol than he turned the gun on himself. terrace should never have had a gun villains and some people convicted of domestic violence are banned from having firearms under us law. but these laws are ineffective, and rarely enforced gaps in the system are allowing domestic abusers to keep their guns with deadly consequences.
8:36 am
every month, an average of $57.00 women in the u. s. are shot and killed by their intimate partners. a number of these offenders were prohibited from having guns because of their criminal records. but we don't know how many because no one's keeping track. for nearly a year, i've been collecting an analyzing data on domestic violence homicides, and more than 20 states coming through thousands of pages of court filings and police reports. i found that over a recent 4 year period, at least 90 people were convicted, charged or implicated in the death of their partners and others using guns they
8:37 am
weren't allowed to have under federal law. jasmine's partner terrace was one of them. oh, in 2014, he was convicted of domestic violence, assault against a girlfriend. he lived with which should have prohibited him from having a firearm. but these laws don't spell out how guns should be relinquished or taken away therein for sporadically. or in turns his case not at all. and he carried a gun throughout his 3 year relationship with jasmine. i remember him show him his gun or something. i don't know if i saw him carry it or he saw him in the room one time. when he saw icon with dave for protection or something, i really, i know that i knew that some had
8:38 am
a gun. anyway, sister, her pump a, you know, with i always think of the videos we have of her when she would just be goofy and laughing. jasmine, very charismatic. she fun summer. she actually went to college and she was 17. she graduated pretty young. she was one of the lot of energy. she liked to dance in pictures and art work. she just amazing person. yeah. ah. she bought a house at 21 years old. she still worked 2 jobs aren't played soccer and was abused. i just don't know how she did all that exercises with
8:39 am
kitchen. oh, why? she sent me a video for more on january 16th. my faith is gorgeous. she was taken care of one of her patients years. you keep telling me, i just want to do exercises with you crazy. oh, i know my hands are always cold, but my heart's wor, right? not last time i her johnston's voice. when was the 1st time you had a bad feeling who's kind of from the beginning, he would always be where she was. if they were here, he was here with her. if she had to go to work, he would go with her. that was my 1st clue. and i was like, doesn't this guy have a job or something like he never left her alone? i went to the house in less than a handful of times. i wasn't allowed to go over there and he would isolate her,
8:40 am
keep her away from us. we didn't get us here very often or if we did it was, he was around like look at her, she kind of laugh or be goofy anymore. that's how i kinda started noticing her personality change. ringback ringback ringback we knew something was wrong, so interesting. not knowing that like my sister is getting abused by somebody that we talked to on a daily basis. we were totally oblivious for like 2 years because they were together for awhile and i think it was like in the summer we found out like she like randomly something like a dry house in taunting is actually like thinking about everything
8:41 am
a be an interview with the victim, jasmine, well i understand you fuck somebody down. what led to that? ellen and he got they got the thing and i thought he was was there bulletin to maxine she floated okay. do you think i should be still with you? and i was like only brown is saying, please, please, please, please. i went in to the read the book and it does run a few following meal. been through the question,
8:42 am
the rocks couldn't want to run the road. i've been in a coma. ah, i'm saying a big move with question i came up here to stop like i was kind of facing the like the like one of the security cars i went in to call. i was scared like he's that in a okay. that would be the 1st person that he would go to her. i just wanted to let her know, i think over a number it at all. and
8:43 am
when she came to have me, she didn't have shoes on and she add marks on her neck problems. marks on her arms. her back was all tore up in her shirt was basically barely hanging on the sleeve was talking. she's like, mom, it was my fault is my fault, am i? it's not your fault. this you for deal? i didn't find charging you semester friends, are going to solve the deadly weapon, domestic violence, kidnapping terrace was arrested and liter charged with 2 felonies. he was ordered not to have any firearms under $7500.00. here to quit, no acts of domestic violence, possession of firearms, have no contact with jasmine of any sort except for legal proceedings. and you're not to go back within 3 blocks of her residence to understand that. yeah,
8:44 am
thank you mr. for doing. but the judge stopped there once again. terrace was in order to surrender his gun. despite his domestic violence record the laws are incomplete. it doesn't say that the judges have to order police officers to go get those guns. it doesn't say that they have to do a follow up hearing to make sure that the person actually turned in a gun like they were ordered. so basically we're operating on, on our system. i think it sends a really terrible message to both survivors who are being told we don't really have her back and we are going to issue this order, but we're not going to do anything to make sure that you're actually safe. and i think it, it also sends the absolutely wrong message to perpetrators that they can break the law that they can endanger the lives of their partners. and other people
8:45 am
ah, after 2 weeks in jail terrace was released on bond. and according to police reports he went on to abuse. jasmine in november 2017. jasmine ran out of her house to escape terrace. some of it was caught on a neighbor security camera. she told detectives about that night. i was about to take a shower and i just got scared and just ran. hi, jasmine is really only for home as terrace leads her back inside with. can you tell me why you got scared? is upset. i didn't do i just it is when we get away to feel like a village which leave like every like i'm being pushed and pulled in. feeling
8:46 am
is that you digging a bigger hole. i don't know what the do. jasmine was killed 2 months later. 6 months, 6 times, 30 day that the courts allowed him to be around her knowing he had a gun, the cards knew, the investigator knew the police knew he had a gun. and there is nobody enforcing i found these gaps in the system in cases across the country. ah, i knew that he was i supposed to have a gun because he was
8:47 am
a convicted felon. i figured that they would keep track of that, you know, the, the officers, the officials that are supposed to, lisa rucker's older sister, ashley began dating chad upshar in 2014 by then china been convicted of stocking, an ex girlfriend and shooting into her house as a felon, under both federal and florida law, he was prohibited from possessing a firearm. but he carried one anyway, multiple people and told ashley including my father that he was going to killer. we had heard about him hitting her with a pistol. she told me that she told me that he hit her in the head with a gun. not someone to leave. they will not get out of my apartment. my sister's boyfriend. why have any weapons you know?
8:48 am
so that night when did you realize he had a gun? when he pulled it out he walked past me past ashley pool, vulnerable, and he pointed out and every part of me was like not really going to shoot me. as i turned my head down, it was everything with black heard a loud noise. hello there. got it. got cooler. when i came to the 1st time, ashley was about 6 feet away from me. i just saw blood around her head. chad shot lisa and ashley before fleeing. according to police, the bullet headway in the back of my head here in came out my cheek
8:49 am
it next my carotid artery and it basically shattered my mandible bone in to pieces. oh, oh. oh, i kept saying help me. i'm dying healthy, i'm dying. but apparently my, my jaw was so messed up the you couldn't even hear me. hello. it was just gurgling. ashley and lisa sons were there. they were $9.00 and $4.00 at the time. i looked over and i saw my nephew standing over my sister, and he is crying. and i as cold noticed that i was awake. as he came over to me and said, mommy, please don't die. ah, lisa was in
8:50 am
a coma for 2 days. ashley was shot once in ahead and died of her injuries. she was 30 years old. do you think if he had his gun taken away ashley would still be alive. yes. i do. if he wasn't there with the gun, it would have happened. oh. ringback ringback ringback chad was indicted for several felonies, including 1st degree murder. i contacted him in jail for an interview. i wanted to ask him how he got the gun, but he and his lawyer didn't get back to us in the long run around here. and my daughter's gone. someone needs to start being held accountable and what happened with chad is not unusual. over the past several months, i've spoken with a number of families whose loved ones were killed by their abusers,
8:51 am
and that is exactly what happened to ryan domestic violence. offenders are rarely ordered to surrender their firearms and women are 5 times more likely to be murdered when their abusers have access to a gun. why should be here with her son or son should have his mother or what should happen if i had an answer? i would have my daughter here who was at fault here is that the justice system is a law enforcement is it that we have weak laws, all of the above. i think enforcement is expensive and it's challenging. it requires a lot of coordination between all different stages of law enforcement rate between police and prosecutors, and probation officer is and sheriff's department to make sure that that gone is actually taken away. and that type of coordination is just not something that people have decided. it's worthy of putting resources into why was
8:52 am
no one, no one from the judicial system or lease officers, no one decided to say, hey, this is a convicted felon. and is reported that he has a weapon. so why don't we just go and, you know, get a warrant search our house to find it, take it, let's get it back. you know, obviously the legal we failed that victim because we didn't have a framework in place where we could go and take that fire right now. is the wild west as far as guns in the hands of abusers. and i introduce legislation because i don't believe has to be that way. congressman swallows legislation would require the federal government to develop procedures for abusers to relinquish their guns, but without enough support. the legislation died in congress twice. he introduced it again earlier this year, but it's unlikely it'll pass in today. and america,
8:53 am
the right front of the user to own a gun is greater than the right of a victim to be se, finding a way to account for the number of firearms that someone has as important as to enforcing relinquishment. we are truly flying in the blind so why have a law on the books, if it's not being in force and it's not working, right, we need to fix that. we shouldn't have laws on the books that are just for show. the laws really can't do anything if we don't have a way to verify whether a defendant has a firearm in the home. we don't know as a country how many people are prohibited who have firearms and that's it's terrified. i is anyone we know it's the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives, or the atf agency in charge of enforcing the nation's gun laws. how many
8:54 am
people are prohibited from having guns? because a felony convictions and qualifying domestic violence, misdemeanors. oh, i don't know that number, i'm not sure anyone knows that number with precision and how many domestic violence homicides are being committed by people who are not allowed to have gone. i don't have that number. so you don't know how many people have died at the hands of partners who are prohibited possessors and we don't know how many prohibitive possessors are out there. i don't we certainly track the number of firearms that we c 's. but our mission is focused on investigating violations of federal laws and not following up on local misdemeanor domestic alex convictions. as far as we know, we reveal are the only ones who've been collecting data on prohibited offenders who
8:55 am
kill their partners. the reason that the federal government isn't doing this is complicated. most convictions that make people federally prohibited happen in state courts and not information doesn't always make its way to federal officials. that just the american system that it's very decentralized. these convictions and domestic violence restraining orders are issued across the country in local courts . and in each of those places, i have an opportunity to identify the violations or we'll tragically, a lot of these only come to law enforcement's attention when something terrible was happen, shot worth in the heart was the lay shot in the hem, the entire sport, kill them. so this country doesn't do prevention particularly well. the fact that the system is reactive is really the core of the
8:56 am
problem. we don't take the trouble take the time to actually take the gun away before they can harm another person. we punish them on the back end, and by that time it's off until the hang up is that americans love their guns. americans own more guns per capita than any other developed country. and we are loath to take them away even in situations like this one. we don't know how terrorist got the hand gun he used to kill jasmine or how chad got the rifle. he's accused of using to shoot ashley and lisa and we may never know their well reports of him having a weapon. he should have been more regulated. not only are there very few mechanisms to make sure guns are taken away from printed offenders. there's also no
8:57 am
national firearm registry and federal law and some states don't require background checks for private gun sales. there needs to be a better way to enforce that. felons don't have access to weapons. i know it's hard . i get that they can get one way or another, steal it, buy it off the streets, whatever. so go one step ahead. be one step ahead of them. i feel like a lot of government people don't see how bad of an issue. it really is. they don't see the ripple effect from it. after ashley's death, her son moved to another state to live with his dad, who lisa hasn't seen her nephew in several years. and her son hasn't been the same since a shooting. she is withdrawn. he used
8:58 am
to be just open and different. he always tells me how much he misses my sister and my nephew, i'm worried that it will stick with him forever. you know, they say children are resilient for their they're not supposed to see that there as, as a go through that. it's crazy to think it'll be 22 next year. female she was a hit me like a weird birthday next year. it's just hard not having jazz around she's reptile our lives in unfairly matches. china know
8:59 am
that she's now safe and not getting hurt. it just makes you angry, not the system did nothing to help me too many have been forced to flee their homes, escaping violence, conflict and poverty. but in the last decade, weather related crises have become a primary trigger for the displacement of people as droughts, hurricane and floods besieged communities. foot lines travels to the front lines of the climate crisis and send from america to see how it's up ending lives and fueling migration exit on doors. a climate in crisis on al jazeera. we know what's happening in our region. we know how to get to places that others and on i was
9:00 am
thrown, dear god, by the police on purpose adverse. and so i'm going on with the way that you tell the story is what can make a difference. ah, how they're, i'm the socio tando hall with the top stories here on out as era. the leader of columbia is biggest drug culture has been arrested. the country has presidents as darrow antonio of sugar is also known as a toni l. was captured in a meticulous operation. washington had put up a $5000000.00 award for help in finding him dial antonio issue aaliyah's or danielle.
