    Murder Suspects Describe Two Killings in $2 Robbery

    Tuesday, June 24, 2008

    The men arrested in the slayings of an aspiring Christian singer and his colleague at a Texas recording studio said in a chilling jailhouse interview the victims were killed at random in a robbery that netted only $2.

    Cousins James Broadnax and Demarius Dwight Cummings, both 19, face capital murder charges in the deaths of singer Matthew Butler, a father of two, and Stephen Swan, his employee, outside Butler's Christian recording studio, Zion Gate Records in Garland, Texas.

    Broadnax and Cummings, speaking to MyFOXDFW.com from the Dallas County Jail, told the station of their plans to rob somebody the night of June 18. They traveled by train from Dallas to the suburb of Garland because "that's where all the rich white folks stay at," Broadnax said.

    Their targets turned out to be Butler, 28, and Swan, 26.

    "I made sure they was dead," Broadnax told MyFOXDFW.com

    His voice wavering, Broadnax recounted in blood-curdling detail how he shot the men to death in a parking lot outside the recording studio after Cummings asked for a cigarette.

    "I just blanked the f--- out," Broadnax said. "I shot him [Butler] and he stumbled back. I shot the driver [Swan]. He hit the ground, you know what I'm saying, but he leaned up like he was going to try to get back up, so I shot him in the head.

    "Then his homeboy, I shot his a-- again, you know what I'm saying, but he was still trying to run off," he continued. "I knew he was going to die anyway, but just to make sure — pop, pop."

    Broadnax said he shot Butler twice in the head.

    Cummings told the station that he and his cousin had traded an AK-47 as collateral for a pistol to use during what he thought would just be a robbery.

    "We didn't plan to shoot nobody and nothing like that," Cummings told MyFOXDFW.com. "No, I take that back. I did tell him we'd probably have to pop them a few times or whatever. I did. But still, I didn't think he was going to do it."

    After the men were shot, Cummings said he took car keys and a wallet from Swan, but the wallet contained only $2.

    "I ain't never seen nobody die like that, you know," Cummings said. "It kind of shocked me, you know what I'm saying. I was shook."

    The men fled to an aunt's house, where they changed clothes, then stashed the pistol at Cummings' girlfriend's place, according to the interviews.

    The cousins pawned some tools in Swan's vehicle and changed the car's plates before moving on, they said.

    Authorities caught up with Broadnax and Cummings on June 20 in Texarkana in one of the victims' vehicles. A third man was in the car and but later was cleared of any involvement in the murders by Garland police.

    Cummings, who insisted "I didn't kill anyone," appeared to have some remorse when asked about the crime.

    "I feel real bad, you know," he told MyFOXDFW.com. "I feel it was wrong what we did."

    But Broadnax, who described his life as "hell," showed little remorse.

    "I kind of regret what I did, but things can't change so no use crying over it," Broadnax said.

    When asked about what he would say to the victims' families, Broadnax replied, "f--- 'em."

    A joint memorial service for Butler and Swan was held Monday.

    I actually lost sleep last night after watching that interview on our local news!
    Sometimes I wish we could go back to justice 100 years ago, that guy would be GONE!

    When asked if there was anything he wanted to say to the family he said "F%#^ them"

    Not to take away from the depravity of this crime, but I always wonder why they report it was for a lousy $1 or $2 or $20 or $40. Would it be ok if it was for $1,000? $10,000? At what point do they think murder is justified? Is there a sum for which it becomes justified?

    This hits really close to home, I'm just on the other side of the metroplex from where this happened. The DFW crime rate is getting worse every year. I really wish we could go back to old fashioned public court house hangings.

    +1. Charlotte is becoming a crime haven as well. Public court house hangings would serve as a fantastic deterrent to future would-be criminals!!

    I can't believe how heartless you all are.

    The two young men aren't to blame.

    They are simply a product of their environment, an environment that WE created, an environment that WE could change by simply pouring more money into welfare programs, after school programs and better public housing. I mean a LOT more money. I know where to get it, too.

    If they are the criminals, so are we; WE are directly responsible for their actions by virtue of our failing to provide them all their needs.

    Because "you don't feel as sorry for the guys if they have $5,000 in their wallet vs them "only" having $2". News is drama. It just reinforces what the media focuses on in this country, and has heavily influenced this nation to focus on, $$$$$$.

    The inhumanity of humanity is beyond my comprehension!

    It's events like this where taxpayers money shouldn't be wasted on a trial or incarceration. They admitted their quilt, now throw these pieces of garbage away!

    So, they have confessed to their crime. Why would there be a trial? I would think arraignment, then sentencing?

    Yep, we are responsible for all the crime and criminals in the world as we made them what they are and we should be ashamed of ourselves for doing it. Give them some counseling, a little time to readjust and them put them back on the streets to show everyone that they have rehabbed................Yep, that is exactly what we should do..........Just make sure we are wearing our head armor and bullet proof vests..... We are wasting space in our jails on these guys. Just let them disappear, never to be heard from again......Especially Broadnax.....I saw the interview and he was absoloutely unmoved by what he did. Hearing him say that he "popped the dude" then point his finger like a gun to show how he did it was totally repulsive.....

    That's the way it should be, but a confession and a verdict are miles apart. Hopefully the system doesn't let the victims down this time.

    Uro was joking, but you guys really dont seem to get it.

    Money isnt going to solve it, and they certainly are to blame, but there is so much more to it then that

    He is a **** up of society, no doubt about it. But how can you not feel sorry for him. Sure, I feel sorry for the people who got killed for no reason. But look at this person as a representation of pain and suffering which most of us will never be able to comprehend. He said he has nothing to live for.

    How would you feel if every door you tried to open was repeatedly slammed in your face. There is no way to understand what life was or is like for that kid, but we should all be grateful we havent had to experience anything like it. There are so many factors.

    He wants to leave this world. He probably will, I bet behind the **** the victims families statement, he is just trying to get people to hate him even more, mission accomplished.
