About this episode
In May 2023, an 18-year-old is preparing for graduation, planning for college, and looking forward to the future in Mesa, Arizona. But after spending the night with friends, he is shot and killed inside a teammate's home just weeks before receiving his diploma. As investigators work to determine what happened, his family is left navigating a case filled with difficult questions and a justice process that proves far more complicated than expected. In episode 407, Jac and Alexis examine the death of Jeremiah Aviles, the legal battle that followed, and the legacy his family has built in his honor.
