Episode Details

A chilling murder case unfolds as 19-year-old Kasim Kone faces first-degree murder charges for allegedly shooting his friend Tagaloa Tau Vataumalo in the head during a drug-fueled, volatile ride home from Southcenter Mall. Kone, who claims he can’t remember the shooting while high on marijuana, codeine, and possibly psilocybin mushrooms, is held on $2 million bail. The gun used in the killing matches one Kone owned — and he reportedly admitted to using drugs that night, calling the accusation “not surprising.” Vataumalo’s body was found the next morning, shot while lying on the ground, with no clear explanation for what happened after he followed Kone out of the car.
