Day Two: Diaz: "police wanted photos of Sammy Rivera's friends"

Noemi Diaz said that when she left the church with Rivera, she went outside to find the Red Dodge Neon double parked. Rivera was pacing around the back of the Red Neon.

Diaz started to get into the car, yelling at Rivera "why didn't you stay at the scene?" she said. Diaz says that Rivera told her it was for the safety of he and the baby that he left the scene.

Diaz then said she saw a police officer heading past them. She says she got frightened as her baby was in the car seat and would not wake up. She was afraid he was dead.

Diaz says the police officer arrived, pulling his gun and yelled at them both to get down. She says Rivera then yelled to the officer "She had nothing to do with it! It was the guy in the white hoodie!"

Diaz says the officer then handcuffed her and Rivera and patted them down, finding drugs on Rivera. Diaz says she believes they found two bags of marijuana and possibly a bag of crack-cocaine. At that point, Diaz says, there were now several officers on the scene, with more arriving as time went on.

Diaz, Diaz' mother, and Sammy Rivera were all handcuffed, Diaz told prosecutors. Baby Luis was still in the back of the car at the time, she said, and did not see anyone take the baby out of the car.

Diaz spoke with investigators and then was placed into a police car and was told they were going to be taken "to the place where you and Sammy hit the guy in the white hoodie."

Diaz said she was taken to UPD Headquarters where she was left in an interrogation room for about 1-2 hours before being questioned. She says she and Rivera remained at the police station until about 5:30 p.m. the next day. She was released, as was her mom earlier that day, but Rivera remained with police.

While still in custody, police took her to her residence on 1676 Seymour Ave, she said, where there was a SWAT Team, and about 30-40 officers. Police showed her a search and seizure order, which she signed, giving police permission to search through her house and car. She says the police wanted photos og Sammy Rivera's friends.
