The First 48 Season 12 Episode 20 Under One Roof / Off Target

In the episode "Under One Roof / Off Target" of season 12 of The First 48, the show follows the investigations of two different homicide cases in different parts of the country.

The first case takes place in Louisville, Kentucky where Detective Barron Morgan and his team are investigating the murder of a 28-year-old man who was gunned down in his own apartment. The victim's father, who lived with him in the apartment, witnessed the shooting and is able to provide some details about the suspect. With no apparent motive for the shooting, the detectives must rely on witness statements and surveillance footage to piece together what happened and catch the killer.

Meanwhile, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Detectives Jason White and Matt Frazier are investigating the murder of a man who was found dead in a driveway. The victim had been shot at close range and it's unclear if the murder was random or targeted. The detectives have a promising lead with a potential witness who saw a suspicious person in the area around the time of the murder, but the witness is reluctant to come forward.

As both investigations progress, the detectives face a number of challenges and setbacks. In Louisville, they struggle to find a reliable witness who can identify the suspect, and the case becomes even more complicated when the gun used in the murder is found to have been stolen years earlier. In Tulsa, the detectives face resistance from potential witnesses who are afraid of retaliation and have to use their skills to build trust and persuade them to talk.

Throughout the episode, viewers get a firsthand look at the ins and outs of homicide investigations, from the initial crime scene to the follow-up interviews and search for evidence. The detectives work tirelessly to piece together clues and identify suspects, while the families of the victims struggle to come to terms with their tragic losses. With tension and uncertainty at every turn, "Under One Roof / Off Target" offers a gripping look at the complex and often heartbreaking nature of homicide investigations.
