His body was found in a dumpster when the garbage truck coming to empty the container behind the Halfway shelter for customers that drink heavy and needs a helping hand.
It was 8.30 a.m. in the morning for when the garbage truck arrived and lifted the container when the body feel out onto the black cement behind the shelter. The driver and the two workers standing on the back of the truck right away called the police.
Captain Kate Beckett having arrived at the 12th precinct for her six hour shift. She answered her phone in the office when she arrived. "Hello! This is Captain Kate Beckett. How can I help you?"
It was the crew from the Delray garbage truck calling to let her know that a male body was found in a dumpster behind the Halfway shelter.
"I will send the crime scene unit, coroner and others mostly detectives to investigate the body. Thank you Mister Sanchez for calling."
Sanchez turned to face his partner on the back of the truck and the driver Billy Stewart for the past 15 years with the company. "Are they coming Sanchez?" Stewart asked with getting out from the driver seat of the truck and stepping down with a high step.
"They are coming. It's going to be the 12th precinct I believe." Sanchez said while they wait and messing up there entire route.

"There you are boys. We have a body drop found behind the Halfway shelter. A garbage truck crew found the body with lifting the container and the male body feel out."
"What a way to start a shift to find a body while picking up garbage?" Ryan announced with gulping his coffee and throwing the plastic cup into the garbage pale next to his desk.
"I will come with you this trip. I will let Lt. Walker take over until I get back from the crime scene." Beckett said with going to look for Lt. Walker in the computer room. "Lt. Walker I need for you to take over the bullpen until I come back from a crime scene." She ordered gentle with the officer.

HALFWAY Shelter
"Jonas for the love of god! What the hell did you do with Thanksgiving coming up?" Andy said to Jonas in his room with the shakes after killing Ernest for the liquor he was carrying.
"I tried to be nice with asking for what he had. But he wasn't listening Andy. So I shot him when he was fighting me to get the weapon away in the alleyway. It was an accident when the gun went off."
"You crazy fool! The police and everybody in creation is outside looking for evidence on the shooting. Do you still have the gun on you?" He asked.
"Yeah I do." Jonas said with standing up from Andy's bed on the third floor.
"I suggest you wipe the prints and get rid of it a few blocks from here for where no one will be able to find. Understand stand me? Do it when the police are gone."
"I understand Andy. I will go back to my room and lock the door. Unless the police starts talking to the residents of the Halfway shelter." He said with worry and butterflies in his stomach, along with the shakes.
"Tell the truth, we just don't know a thing accept the fact that Ernest was in a bad way for when it came to his drinking." Andy said strongly with his demeanor.
