here is to sell drugs. >> my whole life, 27 years i've been here. ain't had no job, nothing. look at this. this is slum, poverty. >> nobody deals drugs because they like it. they deal because they make money. >> i'm 26 years old. i got three kids. i'm enjoying myself every day out here. i'm living. every day. you all have a beautiful day. >> a lot of families have come to depend on it. they may have a 14-year-old son and the mother's got two or three kids and this 14-year-old son is bringing home $500 a week selling drugs. that's the only income that she ha has. >> çhey, jay, goldie mike's at the leather store. braids and red leather jacket. allegedly that's the guy running that spot. >> with drugs come gangs and three groups dominate in ford

heights. the gangster disciples, the vice lords, and the four corner hustlers. they compete for territory within a two-square mile area. that's divided in half by a highway. the recent closing of 100 public housing units in the southern half has forced many of those residents to relocate north, including gang members. among them, booth, a four corner hustler, who is allegedly trying to move his drug sales into rival turf. >> in order to keep the profit up, he has to take a spot over here. these guys don't want to give that spot up. that's why we had gun shots today and yesterday, and it's going to continue. >> everything was somewhat fine when people over here stayed over here and the people stayed over there. but now you've put them together and it's a recipe for disaster.

>> based on past experience, police know that booth's enemies have a better chance of finding him first, but it's often the law-abiding citizens that get caught in the middle and pay a price. >> i just hope that, you know, he doesn't hurt anybody else before we get ahold of him. foragers, those fishermen... for me, it's really about building this extraordinary community. american express is passionate about the same thing. they're one of those partners that i would really rely on whether it's finding new customers, or, a new location for my next restaurant. when we all come together, my restaurants, my partners, and the community amazing things happen. to me, that's the membership effect. ♪ [ gong ] strawberry banana!

you guys are setting up surveillance in the apartment complex. anything that moves will be enforcement on the street. >> police are waging a manhunt for an armed fugitive we call booth in chicago's suburbs 39 miles south of downtown. the cook county sheriff's gang investigators believe their suspect is hiding out at an apartment complex, but don't know which unit yet. they have set up camp a half mile away while under cover officers are keeping an eye on the building. they have also got confidential sources trying to verify the apartment number. >> the information we get is sayinu he will shoot back. he doesn't care if it's police or not. keep that in mind, not that it will happen. just find yourselves covered. all right?

work. you can see him, take him out. >> until they are ready go in, police are watching every car that leaves the complex to make sure the fugitive doesn't escape. they just spotted one vehicle whose driver could be booth. >> this gentleman we have in front of us, he said he's not going to go easy. if he has to shoot the police, he will. >> let me see those hands. shut the car off with your left hand. everybody keep your hands up. hands up. >> but it's a false alarm. booth is not inside. >> what's wrong with you people, got weed in your car. >> we are going break loose, head back and regroup. we're going to do an rwc on these two kids. >> by the time he's done, the

investigator and the team hear from an informant. they get the apartment number they have been waiting for. now, it's time to grab their suspect.ç >> jenna and nine other armed officers head up to the apartment. the resident there gives permission to search. they find booth and another male inside. both surrender without incident. >> you guys copy that right? in custody. clear. >> we all had that in our mind, knowing he's willing to shoot police. your alertness is heightened.

are we going take him? is this the time? everything is more stressful, that's for sure. authorities place the men under arrest. they charge booth with 15 felonies including aggravated discharge of a firearm. he could serve life in prison if he's convicted. >> it's nice to get someone like this off the street so the violence goes down. it's not so much that you don't care about the other gang members that got shot. that's what i have three kids of my own at home. my concern is the kids out playing and it's summer vacation. that's what makes this one so much better. >> now that the manhunt is over, the sheriff police turn their attention back to other cases. including the crystal meth traffic in boystown. investigator mike davis is

moving forwardúw@th a pair of informants we are calling tan go and cash to set up that area's main meth dealers. one target has fallen through. davis and his street informant begin pursuing another. they have completed their first successful buy. >> how do you think the transaction went? >> fine. >> were you uncomfortable up there? >> didn't act like that but my heart's racing. >> really? >> this informant agrees to continue working with police in order to help his boyfriend bargain for probation for a reduced prison sentence. >> the person i'm doing this for, i care a lot about. i wouldn't do this for myself. i feel like someone's outcome is completely on you.

i mean i've paid thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars for lawyers and phone calls. i disagree with different decisions that he's made but i'm not going to try to control somebody. if i'm gonna stay with them, i have to accept whatever outcome. >> we had an informant in there. we also were able to make a buy out of that location. what we bought tested positive for crystal meth. >> cash scores another transaction for police days later. it gives themç the evidence the need to make their arrest. >> it's a very small apartment from what our informant is telling us. followed by moose. >> did you ever think you would be doing this? >> crazy thing is, love somehow you justify things you would never do, things you don't

believe in. i have crossed lines that i thought i would never cross to help him. >> police make a successful hit. they take their target into custody and recover the narcotics they hoped for, thanks to cash. >> he was great. probably one of the best informants i have worked with on the street. >> even so, there's no guarantee his efforts will pay off for his boyfriend who has to convince the state's attorney he'll go clean if given a second chance. >> my thought is, is he going to get back out there and use again? if you look at true addicts that are really resourceful, they have subsafety nets. it almost appeared as if that's what was going on. we got to see his boyfriend doing what he can to help a guy that's been arrested five or six times. i think he's going to feel used. there's no doubt.

>> when it comes to drugs and crime, some patterns seem almost impossible to break. byç the end of another summer, the sheriff's police received more than 100 calls about gunfire. even though they have aggressively reduced crime by 33% since they took over policing here, they still face an up hill battle. >> there's been a culture of lawlessness out here for years. a culture of violence that has to change. it's only going to change with cooperation from the residents. >> our hearts go out to the kids. they didn't ask to be born into this mess. sad to say some of them, their future may entail selling drugs. they don't understand that life
