13. 911 call came from the kids in the car. NOT the homeowner.

Mr. Sailors and his neighbors are liars if they want the world to think these kids were home invaders. Glad to see the Police Chief backs up the kids. What kind of creep kills a kid, and doesn't bother to call 911?

"Lilburn Police Chief Bruce Hedley said two calls were placed to 911, one from a passenger in Diaz’s car and another from a neighbor who said they heard gunshots and screams.
Hedley said claims of heavy gang activity in the area are false.
“There’s a sampling of crime in their neighborhood, but no more than anywhere else,” he said."
