Brothers Down
Summary
This episode of The First 48 details the investigation into the double homicide of brothers Keith and Glenn Williams, who were shot outside a Tulsa dialysis center. Detectives initially suspect a robbery or a dispute with an employee, Jamila, but ballistics evidence links the weapon to Andre Smith, a suspect in a separate shooting. After interviewing Smith’s girlfriend, who confirms he was in the car during the murders, police arrest him for two counts of first-degree murder. Smith is ultimately sentenced to life without parole, providing closure to the victims' families.
