Dallas, TX – Garland Police Officer Joe Harn says this case has stunned even the most experience homicide detectives.

Officer Harn: Very seldom to we ever see what we would describe as just searching for someone to not only rob them but to kill them. Very seldom do we ever see anything like that.

From jail, 19 year old James Broadnax admitted he was looking for someone to rob and KILL that night when he and his cousin happened upon Matthew Butler and Stephen Swan outside Butler's recording studio in downtown Garland. Broadnax says they got two dollars.
