0:28On the evening of October 21st, 2018,
0:31deputies in Hillsboro County, Florida,
0:33received a call from an apartment in
0:34East Tampa. The man on the phone said he
0:37had just shot his girlfriend and her
0:38[music] young son. When deputies
0:40arrived, they found Tyrone Terrell
0:42Johnson standing at the threshold of the
0:44apartment, crying with blood on his
0:46hands. Inside the home, investigators
0:48[music]
0:49discovered the bodies of Stephanie
0:50Willis and her young son Ricky Willis,
0:53both [music] lying in a pool of blood.
0:55A40 caliber handgun was recovered
0:57[music] from the living room along with
0:59shell casings scattered throughout the
1:00apartment. Autopsy findings would later
1:03show that Stephanie had been shot
1:04multiple times at close range. Ricky had
1:07been shot six times with injuries to his
1:09wrist and arm suggesting he may have
1:11tried to defend himself. [music] As the
1:12gunfire continued, crime scene evidence
1:15painted a chilling picture of Ricky's
1:17final moments. Investigators found
1:19bullet holes, shell casings, and a
1:21significant amount of blood beneath the
1:23bed in the boy's bedroom. Evidence
1:24prosecutors would later argue showed
1:26that Ricky had been hiding there when
1:28the shots were fired. That same night,
1:30[music] detectives brought Tyrone
1:31Johnson in for questioning. Over the
1:33course of the interview, he would offer
1:35explanations for what happened inside
1:37that apartment. [music] Accounts that
1:39investigators would repeatedly challenge
1:41as they compared his story with the
1:42evidence collected from the scene. This
1:45is the interrogation of Tyrone Johnson.

1:14:25from you. There's blood on the bottom of
1:14:28his socks.

1:15:42sense with the scene. Okay. So again,
1:15:45Tyrone, I I want to just make sure
1:15:49because

1:16:15that evidence will never lie to me.
1:16:17>> Yes, sir.

1:21:03his mother tonight. That's what I think.
1:21:06>> I wasn't.
1:21:08The only noise that ear was me coming
1:21:11off from the ear.
1:21:13>> Okay.
1:21:20Okay.
1:21:25Hey, Tyrone,
1:21:29we've been doing this for a while, okay?
1:21:31[laughter]
1:21:32And like Detective Florio say, there's
1:21:35things in these investigations
1:21:38that don't lie to us.
1:21:41Okay? Nobody's sitting here saying that
1:21:44you're lying to us. But one thing that
1:21:45we do know
1:21:47is that we have our squadmates at that
1:21:51apartment and they're telling us
1:21:53something different than what you're
1:21:55telling us. Hold on. Just hear me out.
1:21:58Okay.
1:21:59Your girlfriend tonight questioned your
1:22:02manhood and that pissed you off
1:22:06and then she did the unthinkable.
1:22:09She insulted you
1:22:11by calling you a
1:22:14and she had the audacity
1:22:17to compare that [clears throat]
1:22:19to what your son did and that pissed you
1:22:22off and that made you snap.
1:22:27Okay, I don't I don't know if you don't
1:22:30understand what what we're telling you,
1:22:33but something else happened in Ry's
1:22:36room.
1:22:41some something happened in Ry's room.
1:22:45Follow me. We need you to tell us what
1:22:48happened in Ryy's room. We know
1:22:51something happened in there. The only
1:22:53one in this whole conversation or all
1:22:56the people that are involved in that
1:22:58that were at the apartment at the time
1:22:59of this incident that went down were
1:23:01you, Ry, and Stephanie. Correct.
1:23:03>> Yes, sir.
1:23:03>> The only person that I know of that had
1:23:05a gun is you.
1:23:06>> Yes, sir. I got showcasings in Ry's
1:23:08room.
1:23:12>> I did.
1:23:14The only person that had a gun is you.
1:23:17They're showcasing in Ryy's room.
1:23:21How'd they get there?
1:23:24>> I didn't do it.
1:23:26>> We know you did it because you told us
1:23:28that you shot a bow. That is true.
1:23:31>> Where did you shoot him?
1:23:36You know that doesn't make a difference
1:23:37because what what the scene's telling
1:23:39us, Detective Flory already told you.
1:23:42People can manipulate us and not always
1:23:43be truthful with us, but the scene's
1:23:45never going to lie.
1:23:50That's where we're going to keep that
1:23:51picture. Are we going to have we're
1:23:53going to have this guy over here?
1:23:57Okay.
1:24:01Where's your knee roller at?
1:24:04>> At the house.
1:24:05>> Okay. Where at? In the house.
1:24:06>> In the master bedroom.
1:24:08>> Okay. How did you get to rise roof?
1:24:10>> How did
1:24:13How did the showcases get in there?
1:24:16>> How' the bullet holes get in the wall?
1:24:19>> How did blood get in there?
1:24:26>> When Ry came back into the room, was he
1:24:29bleeding? I don't know. I just kept
1:24:32fighting.
1:24:35I just kept
1:24:40I just kept firing.
1:24:44>> Where did you fire at?
1:24:47>> Which one?
1:24:50>> I just kept fire.
1:24:54>> Does Ry have any guns?
1:24:56>> I don't think so, sir. Has he ever shot
1:24:59up his wall? I don't think so, sir.
1:25:02>> Have you ever seen any other bullet
1:25:04holes in his wall? No,
1:25:05>> sir.
1:25:08>> So, there would be no reason for there
1:25:09to be any bullet holes in that wall.
1:25:13Is that a no?
1:25:22>> People make mistakes.
1:25:25>> We know you didn't mean to. We're not
1:25:27calling you a cold blooded killer, but
1:25:30we need to know what happened. We need
1:25:32to know what happened in Ry's room.
1:25:39>> So, something could have happened in
1:25:40there.
1:25:45[laughter]
1:25:47>> Tragedy.
1:25:49Cold blooded killer. Where do you want
1:25:51to be?
1:25:53>> Where do you want to be? What happened
1:25:55in Ro's room, man? What happened in
1:25:58there?
1:26:02>> You don't remember anything in Ry's
1:26:03room?
1:26:06>> Could you have gone into Ry's room?
1:26:12Tyrone, I'm going to I'm going to have
1:26:14to disagree with you then. Okay, I'm
1:26:16going to tell you why I'm going to
1:26:17disagree with you. Because I know that
1:26:19you can move. You can't can't move.
1:26:21Great. But I know you can move around
1:26:23because you told me you moved from the
1:26:24bedroom to the outside before the cops
1:26:27came. So I know you can move around.
1:26:29>> Yes, sir.
1:26:29>> Okay. So it's very possible that you
1:26:31could have moved from the master bedroom
1:26:33to to rise room because Ry was scared
1:26:35and he was trying to get away from you.
1:26:40>> I didn't say you murdered anybody. It's
1:26:42an accident. Could have been an
1:26:43accident. I [laughter] wouldn't do this.
1:26:47I just went
1:26:49>> Well, you're the only one with a gun,
1:26:51right?
1:26:52>> Yes, sir.
1:26:55>> So, there's only one explanation for the
1:26:57shell casings and bullet holes in his
1:26:59room.
1:27:01>> Sir,
1:27:05why is your life over? Tell me why,
1:27:13dude.
1:27:16I was just trying to be
1:27:29>> Why is your life over
1:27:36mistake?
1:27:36>> You made a terrible, terrible mistake.
1:27:39[snorts]
1:27:39And what was that mistake?
1:27:42You said
1:27:45you
1:27:46>> and I tried call
1:27:49I hopped outside and said I need help.
1:27:52>> Why didn't you and so your dad?
1:27:55>> I my phone was off sir
1:27:58and I hopped outside and said I need
1:28:00help and then I remembered the house
1:28:03phone and I
1:28:06I already had my dad on the phone
1:28:08because I was trying to get my stuff in

1:28:23>> No, sir.
1:28:24>> That's pretty fast.
1:28:25>> I went out just outside the doorway.
1:28:27Just to the gate.
1:28:28>> When you went out to the doorway to the
1:28:30gate?
1:28:30>> To the gate right there at the tree.
1:28:32Then I hopped back in cuz I couldn't see
1:28:34anyone.
1:28:36>> How did you do that without injury?
1:28:38>> On this bench, sir. You hopped.

1:28:42>> Yes, sir. It was all And then I grabbed
1:28:46the house boat and sat at the front
1:28:47door.
1:28:50>> I could hear that part. I know that. I

1:29:48>> My dad was already on the phone.
1:29:49>> I know. I know. And we're going to talk
1:29:51to him. We will.
1:29:53But right now, Tyrone,
1:29:56I wanna I want you to be able to
1:29:58understand,
1:30:00>> okay, that what you're telling me and

1:30:09>> Okay,
1:30:11Terrone, I'm not out to get you on

1:30:31going to do. Um, we're going to have the
1:30:32deputy stand by outside here with you.
1:30:34What we're probably going to do is we're
1:30:35going to move you down to one of the
1:30:36rooms down there, okay? And I got to
1:30:39work on some paperwork and I'll be back
1:30:42to tell you exactly what's going to go
1:30:43on. Okay?
1:30:46I'm going to stop this 2213.
1:30:56Yeah. Step up for me.
1:30:59>> All right.
1:31:00>> It's all right.
1:31:02>> Well, I don't want I don't want you to
1:31:04fall.
1:31:19When the interrogation ended,
1:31:21investigators continued assembling the
1:31:22evidence from the apartment [music] in
1:31:24East Tampa. Forensic testing and crime
1:31:26scene analysis became central to the
1:31:28case. [music] Investigators documented
1:31:30shell casings, bullet damage, and large
1:31:33amounts of blood beneath [music] the bed
1:31:34in Ricky Willis's bedroom. Evidence
1:31:37prosecutors argued showed the had been
1:31:39shot while hiding there. Autopsies
1:31:41[music] confirmed that both victims had
1:31:42suffered multiple close-range gunshot
1:31:44wounds. Stephanie Willis had been shot
1:31:47three [music] times, including a fatal
1:31:48shot to the forehead. Ricky had been
1:31:51shot six times and had injuries to his
1:31:53wrist and arm consistent with defensive
1:31:54wounds. In November 2021, a Hillsboro
1:31:58County jury found Tyrone Johnson guilty
1:32:00of seconddegree murder for the killing
1:32:02of Stephanie Willis and first-degree
1:32:04murder for the killing of Ricky Willis
1:32:06along with aggravated child abuse.
1:32:08During the penalty [music] phase,
1:32:10prosecutors presented aggravating
1:32:12factors, including Ricky's age and the
1:32:14[music] circumstances of the shooting.
1:32:16The jury unanimously recommended the
1:32:18death penalty for Ricky's murder. On
1:32:20December 12th, 2022, [music] the court
1:32:23imposed a death sentence for the murder
1:32:25of Ricky Willis along with life
1:32:27imprisonment for Stephanie Willis's
1:32:29murder and 30 years for aggravated child
1:32:31abuse. Johnson appealed the convictions
1:32:33and sentence, but in July 2024, [music]
1:32:36the Florida Supreme Court affirmed both
1:32:37the convictions and the death sentence.
1:32:40A petition for review by the United
1:32:41States Supreme Court was later denied in
1:32:43February 2025. As of the most recent
1:32:46correctional records available, Tyrone
1:32:49Johnson remains [music] incarcerated on
1:32:50Florida's death row at Union
1:32:52Correctional Institution. The
1:32:53interrogation captured the moment
1:32:55investigators began [music] confronting
1:32:56Johnson about what happened inside that
1:32:58apartment. The courts would later
1:33:00determine that the evidence supported a
1:33:02conviction for the murders of Stephanie
1:33:03[music] Willis and her son Ricky. If you
