CSI: Crime Scene Investigation--'No Humans Involved'

CSI Files

Captain
Synopsis:

Grissom, Sofia Curtis and Greg have been called to a dicey neighborhood after sixteen-year-old Tyson Plummer is gunned down. While investigating the scene, Greg notices two boys playing in an alley with a trashcan and is surprised to discover the body of a young boy inside. Tyson's brother, Leo, comes upon the scene and confronts Brass, promising to get even with the person who killed his brother. As he walks away, another man shoots him in the back and runs away, with the cops and Sofia giving chase. Grissom tells a visibly shaken Greg that it looks like their single homicide has turned into a triple.

Sara and David Phillips meet Greg at the trash bin where he found the child. Though he appears mummified, David Phillips notes that the boy has been dead less than 24 hours. The police have apprehended the man who shot Leo Plummer, and Grissom quizzes Sofia as to why she gave pursuit as well. She tells him she wasn't chasing the shooter but the evidence, and she holds up the gun that the shooter threw away during his flight.

On the swing shift, Nick and Warrick are called to a prison where a riot has just occurred. Samuel Mendez was in a holding cell with thirty four other men, and after the riot he was discovered with a cracked skull, possibly the victim of police brutality. Warrick is especially disturbed by the condition of the holding cell--it was far too small for thirty-four men, and the toilet is overflowing with excrement, which the inmates flung at the guards during the riot. The CSIs take a gun, which was found beneath the victim, for analysis. At the hospital, Catherine photographs Mendez and learns he is brain dead. She also notices a shoe print on his face.

Sara and Greg gently remove the young victim from the trash bin, and go over him for evidence. Sara pulls several hairs from his body--some short and black, one longer and blonde. Dr. Robbins autopsies him and determines he was five years old. Several fractures that Robbins finds indicate abuse, and the child died of renal failure due to starvation.
