The First 48 — Season 1, Episode 5: Body in the Park / Ruby Street Shooting

Episode synopsis

Sergeant Irma Labrice and Detectives Leon Lubiejewski and Michael Gross don't have much time to find a murder suspect and they don't have much to go on either, as the victim's body was burned beyond recognition; witnesses to the murder refuse to talk to police.
