5 min readOn March 25, 2022, Kayla Montana was fatally shot at a gas station in Albuquerque while her young daughter sat in the car. The killers were teenagers. The youngest was 15 years old.
The episode follows the investigation primarily through a single extended police interview with a teenage girl named Caprice. The detectives know she was present when the shooting happened. They have video evidence of her white car at the gas station, matching a distinctive scrape on the front bumper. They know she jumped into another car afterward. What they need is for her to tell the truth about who pulled the trigger and why.
