01x05 - Do It For Juan

[bunniefuu]

[Greg] In Edgard, they
just breathed football.

It's like magnet to them.

[commentator] It's a
touchdown for the Rams.

[man 2] Watching high
school football in Edgard,

you're usually watching
a family member.

In my case, my dad was
a great running back.

[Betty] The whole town of Edgard

just wanted the Rams to win.

At any cost.

[man 3] When you're winning,

it's the best
football in the world.

[Greg] It was just so gratifying

to see my son, doing
something that he liked.

Felt real good.

[man 2] Here we
were, two kids...

A starting running back,
starting quarterback.

Unfortunately...

we didn't get a chance
to play for it all.

[siren blaring]

[indistinct chatter on radio]

[man 4] This is two
o'clock in the morning,

when everybody piles
out of these nightclubs.

And...

then we have a sh**ting.

[g*nshots]

[man 2] I was down on
my knees, holding Juan.

He's bleeding out.

[man 4] It's a very
up-close sh**ting

which to me, makes
it very personal.

[man 2] How intense
and passionate they are

about their Friday night lights,

community was as
passionate towards finding

some form of justice for Juan.

[Betty] I'm sitting
and I'm wondering...

"Who shot my child?"

[opening theme music playing]

[Robert] High school
football in Edgard,

it's like a right of
passage. It's like church.

When you go to
the grocery store,

they're all talking
about football.

[Betty] Juan Anthony Joseph

was my son, my first-born.

Juan was gifted athletically.

That was just so easy for him.

[commentator 1]
Second down, 11 to go.

[Greg] 2004, Juan became
starting quarterback

at West St. John.

I think Juan didn't even
throw an interception.

[Betty] That is a big
deal, to be the quarterback

of the West St.
John Fighting Rams.

You have to show the fans

that you're tough
and you're a winner.

Because the whole town of Edgard

just wanted the Rams to win.

At any cost.

[commentator 1] Here
comes Joseph again but...

his Ram is second down and...

The fake to Jackson and then
the throw over the middle

to a receiver,
touchdown, West St. John!

[commentator 2] That's
Ram football right there.

That's what the people right
there are used to seeing.

I've watched Juan
from the minute

that he arrived at the high
school playing athletics.

Being involved with
the football program.

He was a kid that
you could see...

where it was with
him, it was up here.

It was all mental.
He understood...

He was one step ahead
of everybody else.

[Greg] His first year,

they won the state championships
in the Louisiana Super Dome.

There's a great feeling,

just being there, looking
at my son compete.

And feeling like, "Wow!"

Juan was the community's hero.

[Morell] I used to
come to watch Juan play

when I was a little kid,
about seven, eight years old.

I used to be that kid on
the side of the stadium,

with a Gatorade bottle.

Pretty much my whole life, I
knew I wanted to be like Juan.

And follow the other
West St. John legends

that I watched growing up.

You can't wait to
put on that helmet

and play on the field.

[commentator 2] 12 and a
half yards per carrying

in this one for Jackson.

[commentator 1] So,
Joseph is dealing it

to Jackson right now.

He has an opening. He is
headed to the end zone.

It's a touchdown for the Rams.

[Patrick] Juan is a
childhood friend of mine.

We've been knowing each
other since we were like...

six, seven years old.

We went to high school.

We started finding
out who we were,

you know, through football.

And... the rest was history.

[Betty] After
graduating high school,

Juan went to Milsaps College,

in Mississippi.

Juan played quarterback there.

My excitement when
watching him play was...

He would run the ball sometimes.

And I would stand up and like...

"Juan's running the
ball. Run, Juan. Run."

[giggling] I was so...

When Juan got
married to Kayla...

that was a highlight
for him in his life.

I remember talking
to him and he says,

"You know mom, you
know how they say

'We lived happily
ever after'?"

[giggling] Those were
his words, you know?

[Greg] In August in 2011,

Juan was just ready to...

to open a new
chapter in his life.

He had a beautiful,
young wife that he loved.

He had a beautiful daughter.

He realized that, "I
have a greater calling.

To go back home and just

be with people who I love,

give back to my community,

give back to young kids."

[Betty] What better way to
do it, than to become a coach

for the other students?

So, he brought his
family back with him.

Kayla and Aria.

And he became the West St.
John quarterback coach.

[Juan] Hi, how you doing?
I'm coach Juan Joseph.

I went to high school
here, I graduated in 2005.

The biggest thing that I
focus on my quarterbacks,

is telling them to have quick
feet and have quick thinking.

So, I just focus on telling
them to trust their eyes

and play fast.

[Betty] He felt like that
was a proud title to have.

When he would come
home, it's like...

"I'm the quarterback
coach, man."

So... [giggling]

[Robert] I think the biggest
impact with him is that...

it wasn't never
like a job for him.

He always made it look so fun.

And it made other
guys around him

relax and have fun.

He was always a jokester
and a prankster.

Well, he knew that I
was always meticulous

with the schedule.

So one time, he came in

and he changed my alarm clock.

So man, I wake up

and everybody's
already at practice.

And he's laughing
'cause he's like...

He's like, "Damn coach...

Just overslept?"

Juan represented all
of the good things

from my community.

He's a celebrity and
he feels that way.

But they were just happy
to see Juan, you know like,

off the field to
get a handshake.

There was people that would
cook Juan favorite dish

just for him to
come over to eat.

[Morell] In 2014,

I was senior receiver
here, at West St. John.

I wanted to win state...

extremely bad.

[Mark] Our goal is always
to win a state championship.

That's what he was about.

He was about wanting
to win another title,

wanting to get another
ring put in their finger.

We really had a
collection of guys

that really worked
so well together.

But after that Saturday night,

you know, everything changed.

It wasn't the same.

[Betty] On November 2014,

Kayla was expecting
their second child.

And we were excited about that.

We knew that it was
gonna be a girl.

Juan had prepared,
setting up the nursery

for their second daughter.

[Dray] Everything was going
pretty well around that time.

It was football season.

The weather was nice.

They were expecting
his second child

and I remember us
having a conversation.

It was like, you know,
"You're having two girls, bro.

Like, what did you do wrong?

Like, you couldn't get
it right and have a boy?"

[Greg] That night on Saturday,

I was on a night shift.

And I got a call from my wife.

And she said, "I'm
going to the hospital."

And I was like, "Oh, good."

You know, Kayla's getting
ready to have their baby, good.

So, she said...

"You're not listening to me.

Juan has been shot."

And I was like, "What?

Did what?"

And then, I think I just...

I may have dropped the phone.

I rushed out.

In my phone,

I had Betty's
name as "My wife."

And I kept saying to myself,

"As long as I don't never see

a call come through
from "My wife,"

everything's okay."

By the time I got pretty close,

my phone was sitting
on the passenger seat.

And it rang and it
said, "My wife."

[Betty] When I arrived
at the hospital,

I saw the two doctors...

standing there and...

And they looked at me and
they said, "I'm sorry."

And I just remember falling
to my knees to the floor.

And just... crying
to the floor.

You know, and...

[crying] My son was dead.

I'm sorry.

[Bryan] We got the call close
to three o'clock in the morning.

"Hey, there's a club sh**ting
over here, off of Bennington.

And we have one guy down and
he went to the hospital."

We go to the hospital.

And I learn that, Juan
Joseph has passed away

from his injuries.

That's when... it
became a homicide.

My next step is to go in there

and start finding
either next to kin,

or people that saw this.

Witnesses at the hospital
that would have...

would have been there
and knew something.

And it was a profound sadness
that was hanging over the room

when you walked in.

Juan's dad come told
me a lot of about Juan

and how he was.

I do remember speaking
with detective Ballard.

And one thing that
he said to me was,

"Mr. Joseph, I promise you,

I will get to the bottom of this

and find out who
k*lled your son."

[Betty] November 15th,

we travelled to
Southern University

then Baton Rouge for the
football game against

Mississippi valley.

We were privileged to be
watching the game from the suite.

And I remember
conversation with Juan

about a co-worker that was
having a birthday party.

And that he wanted to go,
pass by the birthday party.

He felt like, "Well, I hadn't
gone out in a long time."

And that, "I know I won't
be going out for a long time

because we'll have a
new baby at the house."

[Dray] That's when
him and Pat Jackson

and William Griffin went to

Club Allure in Baton Rouge.

Going out wasn't something
that he did often.

At least not to a club.

So, this was kinda...

I don't know, different.

I remember, the last
thing I told him was like,

"Be careful. Like whatever
you do, just be careful."

That was my last words to him.

[Bryan] This is two
o'clock in the morning.

And that's when everybody
piles out of these nightclubs.

And...

then we have a sh**ting.

[g*nshots]

[Bryan] There's cars,
screeching and leaving

and people running for cover.

And at the scene,

we were trying to sift
through all that stuff

to find witnesses.

And anything of evidentiary
value that we can,

from that parking lot.

It's really dark out there.

We were searching
with flashlights.

But we did find some
shell casings that night.

Those were photographed,

collected by our
crime scene division.

[Kathleen] Initially, on scene,

we don't have the
names of any shooters

or persons involved in the crime

but we have descriptions
of the vehicle involved.

[Bryan] Witnesses are saying,

we have a black car
leaving the scene.

That's pretty much one of our first
pieces of information that we got.

We were on Juan's friends.

Patrick Jackson and
William Griffin,

back to our office
before daylight.

It was, I wanna say it's around
five o'clock in the morning.

Patrick Jackson is a life-long
friend of Juan Joseph.

They played football together.

And they've been coaching
together at Edgard.

William Griffin is more
of a friend of Patrick's.

Juan would have came in to
knowing through Patrick.

[Patrick] Griff and I both,
pretty mentally exhausted.

We were just trying to...

give our best perspective
in the best way possible.

[Bryan] Given the circumstances,

Patrick was handling
it quite well.

But you could tell that
it was weighing on him.

Most people don't see...

their best friend
from their whole life

shot and k*lled, right
in front of them.

[Patrick] When we
was leaving the club,

it was around the time
the club was closing.

[Patrick] And...

in that moment is
when we saw that

a car almost hit
Griff, who is William.

That started a
verbal altercation

between Griff and the driver.

[Patrick] I recall
seeing Juan, you know,

trying to knock the
g*n out his hand.

He then pointed the g*n at Juan

and he fired two rounds
into Juan's chest.

[g*nshots]

Juan hits the ground.

They hop in the car,
they're pulling off.

And we were running to Juan.

Juan is down on the
ground now, bleeding.

I'm like, "Okay, I gotta
get the license plate.

Gotta get the license plate."

But... I think that was my
first time experiencing like,

complete shock because...

In the moment, I'm reciting
the license plate like,

verbatim.

And I am remembering nothing.

I am not retaining
not one letter,

one number in that
license plate.

I got Juan in my hands,
keeping him alert.

He's bleeding a lot.

He and I are talking.

And then it started
getting to more of like,

"Man look, tell my
wife I love her."

And I was like,

"Nah, you're gonna tell your
wife you love her yourself

when you see her again."

Patrick let us know that there
was at least two people in the car

because initially,

the argument was with William
Griffin and the driver.

So, we're at least
looking for two people.

Patrick kind of locked
down the Mercedes for us.

Patrick knew his cars

and said, "This is what that
I saw, leaving the scene."

William Griffin was
more, all over the place.

It was harder to keep
William on track.

He was so beside
himself and kind of...

being so loud and boisterous.

[Bryan] He felt like it was
somebody that was jealous of

his football status
that he had attained,

you know, playing pro ball or...

being a football
star in college.

From the way that Juan was shot,

it didn't look like this
was something that was

done accidentally.

He was directly targeted.

From the way that
the wounds looked,

this is a very up close
and intimate sh**ting.

To me...

that makes it very personal.

[Dray] When this happened,

I'm getting like a
plethora of calls.

And then, habitually, just...

log on to Facebook.

And it's all over your
timeline, it's all over...

everyone's timeline.

[reporter] Not even 24
hours after his death,

friends of 27-year-old
Juan Joseph

are clinging to the many
bright moments in his life.

Many of those, surrounding
the game he loved.

Baton Rouge Police tell us,

Joseph was leaving a
nightclub near College Drive

with two friends
around 2 AM, Sunday,

when the group started
arguing with two men,

parked in a black vehicle.

Joseph was rushed
to the hospital,

where he later died.

[Morell] I probably cried,
for like, three hours.

They hit the whole community.

Everybody felt that
we lost a good person.

That was a positive role model.

Later that Sunday
evening, we had a...

a little get together.

About 200 or so more
people and we just...

gathered around and...

kind of grieved together
and prayed together.

[Mark] That's a
tough day that...

that we'll never forget.

We'll never forget
trying to figure out,

where do we go from here?

What's next?

I think everybody
was in total shock

that this actually
happened to Juan Joseph.

Juan didn't go out,
looking for trouble.

Especially, g*n violence.

That's not the child
that my parents raised.

Everyone wanted justice.

I need answers.

And we had to get the football
players together to...

to play a game.

I don't think that we
ever factored not playing.

This is the play-offs.

We were hoping to win
a state championship...

to honor Juan.

The people here at West
St. John High School

have been grieving the loss

of assistant football
coach, Juan Joseph.

But tonight,

they celebrate his memory,
the only way they know how.

[band music playing]

[Greg] The Juan that I knew,

would want us to go out,
play a football game.

[Betty] I remember Greg,

running out with
the football team,

crashing through the banner
that the cheerleaders had made.

[Greg] I just broke
through the paper.

And I say, "Let's
do it." You know.

[Dray] They release 27
blue and white balloons.

You know, he lost his
life at 27 years old.

[Patrick] It was the kids,
who came up with the slogan,

"Do it for Juan."

And they literally
did it for Juan.

[Morell] We won 51 to zero.

Getting that win for the
community meant a lot.

[Patrick] At the end,

we was celebrating
the victory but we was

ultimately celebrating
Juan's life.

You know.

[Betty] But we're
still wondering,

you know like,

"Where is the
investigation going?"

[Kathleen] Officers are
contacting nearby businesses

and seeing if there's any
video surveillance in the area.

Sadly, this club had no
video surveillance, period.

[Bryan] It seemed like every
camera that we went to look at

was facing the wrong direction

or it caught something that had
nothing to do with this scene.

At this point, a black
Mercedes is our biggest lead.

Everyone's telling us, "Black
Mercedes, black Mercedes."

Then, we get video footage
from a nearby gas station.

And it was like.
"Okay, holy[bleep]!"

We see this black Mercedes.

Just shortly after

everybody is leaving
this nightclub,

cutting through at
a high rated speed

through the parking lot.

So, we knew that we
were on to something.

But we have no idea
why Juan was shot.

We don't know what they
were arguing about.

I mean, this could
have very well been

argument over football.

The rivals were intense.

[Robert] We lost last
year, here at St. James

in the state quarterfinals.

When this guy decides that he
wants to post on social media

that "Coach Valdez...

All his coaches and
his quarterback,

all need to be shot after
that performance last night."

[Morell] The passion
is very high.

Because you'd be blown away.

[Robert] There's the
territorial stuff

between some of the
neighborhoods and Edgard.

The first time that we played

West St. John at St. James
with me being a head coach...

Tough ball game

that was basically marred by
a sh**ting in a parking lot.

We had to seek shelter

because the Sheriff
department came in and said,

"Hey, we have a sh**ting."

Which is always scary.

We know we have two guys.
We know we have one sh**ter.

We don't have any names.

We have no direction to go into

rather than this...

vehicle and the statements
of Patrick and Griffin.

These are football coaches.

They're, you know, upstanding
citizens of the community.

People look up to them.

They're not somebody that
you think are gonna...

be shot in the
middle of Baton Rouge

at two o'clock in the morning.

[Betty] The community of
Edgard has such a strong love

for Juan, as a person

and they found that
it was important

that we find out who

did this to Juan.

I was getting phone calls
and people was wanting to,

I guess, create a
posse, if you will

to go and find the
person who k*lled Juan.

[Patrick] The community...

How intense and passionate
they are about...

their Friday night lights,

the community was as
passionate or more passionate

towards finding

some form of justice for Juan.

[reporter] Police are hoping
someone will speak up.

Anyone with information
is asked to call

CRIMESTOPPERS-344-STOP.

[Dray] That played a pivotal
part in the tip line.

I think people wanted to
get this situation resolved.

So, they weren't hesitant
to call the tip line.

[telephone ringing]

[Kathleen] It's within, I
think 24 hours of the sh**ting

that there are
Crime Stoppers tips

that are being reported,

naming Kendric Cloud
and Lemark Cloud.

[Bryan] This was a
huge break for us.

If I've got names of subjects,

I can get pictures.

If I can get pictures,

I can go to Patrick
Jackson and William Griffin

and I can start showing
lineups of these guys.

Patrick and Griffin,
each had different

views of this situation.

So, one of them got away
but were able to get...

To take a look at
certain individuals

better than the other one was.

[Patrick] I didn't know
who the Clouds were.

I recognized one from
the night at the club

but not the other guy.

The guy I recognize, he
didn't pull the trigger.

[Kathleen] Patrick Jackson
had a better opportunity

to view the driver.

William Griffin was
definitely more inebriated

than Patrick was that
night in the parking lot

outside of Club Allure.

[Bryan] Patrick Jackson
picked out Lemark

as the driver and William
Griffin picked out

Kendric as the sh**ter.

I think Patrick was
very confident in his.

William was as well.

But he said, "Yeah, I'm
pretty sure that's the guy."

At that point, we didn't
know that we were gonna get

another anonymous tip
that tells us that...

we needed to be
looking for a guy

out of the Houston area.

[Bryan] Now that we have the
positive ID on two suspects

from friends of Juan...

our next step is
draft search warrants

and two arrest
warrants for both,

Kendric and Lemark Cloud.

We find out we have
a residence that,

it is pretty clear
that they live at.

We want weapons, clothing.

We're still hot
on this Mercedes.

We do a drive by
of the residence.

And that's when we see,

a black Mercedes
leave the house.

We stop the car.

That's when we come
across Lamica Cloud.

Lamica is the sister of Lemark.

And we bring her back to
our office for an interview.

Talking to Lamica Cloud,

we were able to determine
that the vehicle was actually

registered to her grandmother.

But that Lemark was the
primary driver of this vehicle.

We set up on the search
warrant for Lemark's house.

We utilized the SWAT team,

made entry, contacted
Lemark there.

We did an extensive
search of the house

and we did not find anything
of any evidentiary value

at the scene.

But we were able to bring Lemark

back to our office
for questioning.

[Bryan] Lemark Cloud declined
to make a statement that night.

And we don't know
where Kendric is.

So, we're putting Kendric's
picture out there.

[Patrick] Now, social
media gets a grasp of it.

And now, everyone in
our community is like,

"Okay, time to go ahead
and seal this up."

[Bryan] We actually get a
call from one of the desk guys

at Fourth District.

And he says, "Hey
look, we got this guy,

Kendric over here and he
wants to turn himself in."

[woman 1] Did you do it?

What do you have to
say for yourself?

[Bryan] I gotta think
that he knew that

people were talking
about his case.

That someone was going to tell
us where his whereabouts were.

But he also...

declined to give us
any type of statement.

So, we've got the Cloud arrested

and they're giving
us zero information.

And we couldn't find
anything that linked

Juan Joseph to Kendric
and Lemark Cloud.

None of it was lining up.

And for our two suspects,
to not give us a statement,

that's very frustrating.

We are then contacted the
next day by one of our friends

with the Louisiana State Police.

They say they have
an anonymous source

that wants to speak
with us... in person.

Which is something that
doesn't really happen.

[Kathleen] With
Crime Stoppers tips.

There are often financial
awards and incentives.

But that person had
no financial gain

or stake in the matter.

And came forward,

not expecting
anything in return.

[Bryan] We decide to meet
this anonymous source,

Downtown, Baton Rouge.

We're sitting in the front seat

and the driver seat of
our unmarked police car.

And after being searched
and patted down by...

another officer,

this anonymous source agrees
to get in our backseat

and speak with us.

The guy told me
that we needed to...

be looking for a guy
out of the Houston area.

We're kinda like,
"A Houston guy?"

This is Downtown, Baton Rouge.

Houston's four and
a half hours away.

He also lets us know that the
weapon that was used in this case,

was discarded in the woods,

next to Lemark Cloud's house.

As soon as Mr. Anonymous
gets out of the car,

we are going to
this wooded area.

We just started methodically
going through the woods

and that's when my partner found

the weapon

in a bag, next to a
tree, deep in the woods.

We collect the weapon
with Crime Scene.

And they send it
all for analysis.

First thing, are these the same

type of casings that y'all
located at the scene?

That was a match.

On the same day, we are

having the autopsy of
Juan Joseph performed.

We collect ballistic
evidence from that autopsy

and then we learn that,
this is the weapon

that k*lled Juan Joseph.

This is the m*rder weapon.

We had Kendric, we had Lemark.

Both of them were
swabbed for DNA.

We had that tested
against the weapon.

And it did not come back
to any conclusive evidence.

So, the two people we have,

their DNA's not on it.

[Betty] We learned that
Kendric was not the sh**ter.

And Lemark was not the sh**ter.

So, I'm sitting and
I'm wondering still,

"Then, who shot my Juan?"

[Bryan] When it's
the homicide of

Juan Joseph, who was up
healer of the community,

a football coach.

That's a story that hits home

when you have somebody like him.

[Robert] He's not the type of
guy that's gonna pick a fight.

He's not the type
of guy that's gonna

start a argument.

So... why?

How did it happen?

[Kathleen] There were two
arrests made in the case.

And in March of 2015,

the grand jury
indicts Lemark Cloud

for second degree m*rder

and for felon and
possession of a firearm.

And they pretermit the
case against Kendric Cloud.

Meaning that the insufficient
number of people were able to agree

on an outcome.

[Bryan] Kendric is
now, not been indicted

by a grand jury and
he's free to go.

[Kathleen] At this
point, we don't have...

enough evidence to say
who the sh**ter is.

We are proceeding on

with the charges
against Lemark Cloud

and starting to prepare
for a trial against him.

And then, the police receive
another anonymous tip,

naming Jamarcus
Goodman as the sh**ter.

[Bryan] It just so happens that,

Jamarcus Goodman is
from the Houston area.

So, our first anonymous source

really knew what was going on.

We called William Griffin
and Patrick Johnson in

to see if we can
get him identified.

Unfortunately, I wasn't
able to recognize

the guy that they
were looking for.

I didn't know who
Jamarcus Goodman was.

I didn't know how
Jamarcus Goodman...

you know, played a factor
into what was going on.

Not being able to
help in that moment,

it made me feel like I
was letting Juan down.

[telephone ringing]

[Bryan] We learn
that Jamarcus Goodman

has a warrant for
aggravated robbery

with a deadly weapon in Houston.

And everything that
we were finding out,

is matching up.

We know that he is
involved, somehow.

Finally, in June 2015,
we get notified that...

Jamarcus Goodman has
been arrested in Houston.

So, here's out
connection. He tells us...

"Yes, Lemark is
dating my cousin."

And he doesn't hangout with
anybody else in Baton Rouge.

Once we were finished
with the interview,

we did get his DNA
and at that point,

we rushed it back to be compared

to all the evidence we
collected previously.

This may be ultimately, the
last piece of the puzzle

that we can use to get
justice for Juan Joseph.

[Greg] Just sitting
around to get justice,

it was really tough.

But I had all the
feeling in the world,

that Detective
Ballard will find out

who did that to my son.

[Bryan] We get the preliminary
results back and saying,

"Yes, this is a match
to Jamarcus Goodman."

Which is...

beyond awesome for us.

Now that we have a
positive ID from Patrick,

we know that Lemark
was the driver.

So, at this point, what we
really need to have happened

is Lemark Cloud needs to talk
and tell us what happened.

We were able to
call Lemark back in.

I told him. I
said, "Right now,

you not speaking with us,

the full brunt of
this investigation

is gonna land on you.

And it doesn't all
have to land on you,

if you're not the sh**ter."

Almost two years later,
Lemark Cloud finally gives us

the full account of what
happened that night.

[Bryan] He tells us
of an altercation

between himself and
William Griffin.

And that he, himself was armed
and stepped out of a car.

[Bryan] He said, when
he gets back in the car,

that Jamarcus also
exited the vehicle.

Now, Jamarcus gets back
in the car, with a weapon.

[Bryan] He didn't want to
admit to hearing g*nshots.

He never said that,

"I witnessed Jamarcus Goodman sh**t
this other individual over here."

For us, it was enough
for him to corroborate

that they were there that night.

That Jamarcus Goodman was
the passenger in the vehicle

and that he was
holding that weapon.

Because we know that that is
the weapon that was used to k*ll

Juan Joseph.

At that point, Detective
Ballard, the very next day,

seeks an arrest warrant
for Jamarcus Goodman.

It was a random act.

So, that's what makes it
even that much more surreal.

It's nothing he did, you know?

It's nothing he took part in.

You know, besides being Juan,
trying to defuse a situation.

And unfortunately, you know,

it backfired on him.

[Kathleen] On the morning
of September 20th 2016,

Lemark Cloud is
going to plead guilty

to attempted possession of a
firearm by a convicted felon.

He will be sentenced to seven
and a half years in prison.

Jamarcus Goodman

pled guilty to manslaughter.

Nearly four years after
Juan was m*rder*d.

And he was sentenced
to 40 years in prison.

[Betty] I knew, that was not
gonna bring my child back.

But it really made me feel...

a sense of relief.

Finally, we got this person...

that shot him.

[Morell] And the West St. John
wins the state championship.

It became full circle.

[Patrick] And in 2017, that
was the first championship

since Juan and I did it in 2004.

It was a pretty special moment.

[Dray] I think all that
coupled with their energy

and the love that the
community had for Juan.

I think they channeled all that.

And did it for Juan, ultimately.

It was almost like a
weird sense of closure.

Because the community was there.

Edgard was there.

That was part of Juan.

[Betty] There's
a community park.

It was renamed to the Juan
Anthony Joseph Memorial Park.

[Patrick] At some point,

people's not gonna be
able to recall about...

his glory days on the field.

But the one thing that

is going to be everlasting
with most people

is the way he made them feel.

[Betty] People knew
Juan as the quarterback,

the football player, the coach.

I knew Juan as my little boy.

Who grew up to be the
father of my grandkids.

Like, the old saying
goes, "Legends never die."

They have a lasting impact
and that's what Juan has.
