[00:00:00]  A judge sent a security guard who shot and killed a man to prison.

[00:00:07]  This is a story the ADUSAW investigators have followed right from the beginning, first obtaining video, which then became part of the case file.
[00:00:14]  Our Vanessa Murphy in court during today's tense moments.
[00:00:17]  And we do want to warn you, the video in this report is of a sensitive nature.
[00:00:22]  Yeah, I got a new show for y'all.
[00:00:23]  Got a damn good show.
[00:00:24]  Before we get today's video, we got a new giveaway.

[00:00:34]  You need to win.
[00:00:35]  Yeah, this is what happens when you give a Democrat power and a gun.
[00:00:39]  Well, that's a hasty generalization.
[00:00:41]  This is what happens when you give a gun to a Democrat and she's sub-Saharan.
[00:00:48]  This is what happens if you give a gun to a sub-Saharan progressive black female.
[00:00:55]  Judge Tiara Jones sentencing Kayja Mitchell to five and a half to 14 years in prison.
[00:01:01]  What the hell is that woman's name?
[00:01:03]  Keija Mitchell.
[00:01:05]  Here, listen, I come back.
[00:01:09]  Judge Tiara Jones sentencing Keja Mitchell to five and a half to 14 years in prison for shooting and killing a man while she was working as a security guard.
[00:01:20]  Only five years.
[00:01:21]  Watch what she does.
[00:01:22]  Judge Jones acknowledging this is a difficult case, which dates back to the COVID-19 pandemic.
[00:01:28]  But she points to video and the need to protect the public.
[00:01:32]  It's not what took place in the store that's the biggest issue.
[00:01:36]  It's what took place outside of the store that's the biggest issue.
[00:01:39]  This video shows the moments leading up to Keja Mitchell shooting and killing Thomas Martin outside a 7-Eleven in August of 2020.
[00:01:48]  Tensions escalate at this Northeast neighborhood convenience store in less than two minutes.
[00:01:53]  Mitchell limiting customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
[00:01:58]  Y'all remember that stupid nonsense?
[00:02:01]  What was the rationale behind that?
[00:02:02]  You limit the amount of people in your store, but you still take in the same amount of people over time.
[00:02:07]  Has no effect on preventing you from catching COVID.
[00:02:10]  Yeah, it did, Kevin.
[00:02:11]  It kept people from getting COVID.
[00:02:13]  It worked.
[00:02:14]  Martin, frustrated, barges in.
[00:02:17]  Mitchell pulls out a gun.
[00:02:19]  She and another employee.
[00:02:21]  Look here.
[00:02:21]  Let me tell you something.
[00:02:22]  We used to, my first job out of the military was the security guard.
[00:02:25]  They told us, we got a gun for me.
[00:02:28]  They said, the only time you pull out your gun is when your life is at risk.
[00:02:32]  She's pulling a hollow gun to make him leave the store.
[00:02:35]  Your life is not at risk.
[00:02:37]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:02:38]  That is, and you got it in their face.
[00:02:40]  That is nuts.
[00:02:42]  Yeah.
[00:02:42]  That's a criminal charge in itself.
[00:02:44]  Well, at least her finger straight, it's not on the trigger.
[00:02:47]  She's got good gun safety.
[00:02:49]  Hey, but you remember in class?
[00:02:51]  I think that dude was a little bit racist because he went to me and you said, so, hey, somebody comes up to you and step on your shoes.
[00:02:58]  What do you do?
[00:03:00]  I step back and I tell him, don't step on my shoes.
[00:03:03]  He said, that's a good answer.
[00:03:06]  I've had white guy that we had to go to that class to get that gun from him.
[00:03:09]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:03:10]  All right.
[00:03:11]  No, what this woman is doing is nuts.
[00:03:13]  I know.
[00:03:14]  Especially coming five years and the judge is black.
[00:03:17]  Well, that's not a coincidence.
[00:03:19]  We remove Martin.
[00:03:21]  She continues to point the gun at him.
[00:03:23]  He slaps it away.
[00:03:25]  The confrontation continues.
[00:03:27]  Mitchell shoots Martin in the chest in front of his longtime partner.
[00:03:32]  He got in.
[00:03:37]  And then you can hate.
[00:03:39]  What our politicians, our leaders did to us and empowered crazy people like that.
[00:03:50]  Prosecutors and Mitchell's defense team give two different versions of what happened.
[00:03:56]  I always ask myself, why was there even an arrest?
[00:03:59]  Her attorneys point to Martin's toxicology results showing he had methamphetamine in his system.
[00:04:05]  You would think that what's outside the store, he was faint.
[00:04:09]  Maybe.
[00:04:10]  That is crazy.
[00:04:11]  They try to blame him because he's a drug addict.
[00:04:15]  I could see if he was being like putting her life at risk.
[00:04:20]  You know what I mean?
[00:04:21]  You know, had a weapon.
[00:04:22]  He was punching her.
[00:04:23]  Okay, I could totally see her pulling her gun out.
[00:04:25]  But she pulled it out because physically she cannot do that job.
[00:04:29]  Yeah.
[00:04:29]  And she felt disrespected.
[00:04:31]  But this is the same defense as those police officers had on that against, what was his name?
[00:04:36]  They beat him, like Briden King.
[00:04:39]  They said he was high on PCP.
[00:04:41]  Yeah.
[00:04:42]  And he had the strength of 10 sub-Saharan.
[00:04:47]  The same defense.
[00:04:48]  Yeah.
[00:04:48]  It's stupid.
[00:04:49]  Just because you're a drug addict doesn't warrant you to shoot your behavior is what determines that.
[00:04:54]  Now, is he a bit out of line?
[00:04:56]  There was no reason to pull that gun in the first place.
[00:04:59]  And there's definitely no reason to pull the trigger.
[00:05:01]  He's outside of the store now.
[00:05:03]  You have a way to retreat.
[00:05:04]  You can shut the door.
[00:05:05]  Yeah.
[00:05:06]  Prosecutors say Mitchell shouldn't have pulled out a gun.
[00:05:09]  And they point to this.
[00:05:14]  First exposed by the 8 News Now investigators.
[00:05:20]  Showing Mitchell's interaction with a woman in the store parking lot.
[00:05:25]  We learn about another video.
[00:05:27]  An uncharged act from 19 days before.
[00:05:32]  Out of control.
[00:05:33]  I don't know who hired her as a security guard, but that 7-Eleven needs to be sued.
[00:05:38]  It's probably a black-owned business.
[00:05:43]  I wouldn't.
[00:05:45]  Where we watch Miss Mitchell treating another customer like an animal.
[00:05:50]  Mitchell's attorneys ask for probation after she entered an Alford plea where she doesn't admit guilt, but believes there may be enough evidence to convict her.
[00:06:00]  That took a murder charge off the table in exchange.
[00:06:04]  That is nonsense.
[00:06:05]  If she's white and they show that pry incident to a jury and it's a black person that dies, oh, she's getting probably gonna get at least probably get life.
[00:06:16]  Probably go at least 20 years.
[00:06:18]  Yeah.
[00:06:19]  Exchange for two felonies, including voluntary manslaughter.
[00:06:24]  Took a murder charge off the table in exchange for two felonies, including voluntary manslaughter.
[00:06:30]  I am truly sorry for the bottom of my guard.
[00:06:33]  You was not sorry.
[00:06:34]  Nah.
[00:06:36]  Nah.
[00:06:37]  You sorry.
[00:06:38]  You lost your cool.
[00:06:39]  You got emotional.
[00:06:40]  You felt disrespected.
[00:06:42]  Your life was not at risk.
[00:06:44]  But now you sorry.
[00:06:45]  You sorry because you look at all these years in jail.
[00:06:48]  That's the only reason why you're sorry.
[00:06:50]  Yeah, and look at the two ethnicities of the people she committed crimes against.
[00:06:55]  She's more likely a flat out racist.
[00:06:59]  Hey, that is a great point because if the shoe was on the other foot, if that was a white guy doing that to a black person, hate crime.
[00:07:05]  Oh, look how racist he is.
[00:07:07]  The ACLUs out there, you have Black Lives Matter, marching them down the street.
[00:07:11]  Yep, exactly.
[00:07:12]  This black lady got preferential treatment.
[00:07:15]  Martin's partner saying in court she and his friends will be at Mitchell's parole hearings where she wants to hear her tell the truth.
[00:07:24]  Reporting in downtown Las Vegas, Vanessa Murphy.
[00:07:28]  That was crazy.
[00:07:29]  That was out here in Vegas.
[00:07:31]  Yeah.
[00:07:35]  That is crazy.
[00:07:37]  What's the point in putting a gun at the back of his head?
[00:07:42]  Yeah, and they are.
[00:07:43]  Why would you offer someone like that a plea deal?
[00:07:48]  Oh, she's going to be out of that.
[00:07:50]  We've been over that.
[00:07:51]  She's going to be out in five years.
[00:07:53]  Hell, she might be out three years.
[00:07:54]  That was the bare minimum.
[00:07:56]  But bare minimum is five to fourteen.
[00:07:58]  She's gonna get to five and be out in a year and a half.
[00:08:02]  Yeah, that's like that's what I'm saying.
[00:08:04]  She's a black woman, the judge is black.
[00:08:06]  There's no coincidence, they went easy on her.
[00:08:10]  Well, this is what happens when you empower Democrats when you empower a Democrat with a gun.
[00:08:16]  Yeah.
[00:08:16]  And more likely a Democrat judge.
[00:08:19]  Yeah, I wonder what's the process to get hired as a security guard at 7-Eleven.
[00:08:26]  I guess a heartbeat.
[00:08:30]  That's crazy.
[00:08:31]  I don't understand why they would offer someone like that with that prior incident a plea deal.
[00:08:38]  Had to be based on race.
[00:08:40]  Of course it was.
