Court heard that a few minutes after Mohamed arrives, shots can be heard in the video. The third man who arrived with the accused is seen opening fire at Mohamed, the Crown told the court. People are seen fleeing and Mohamed is injured by a gunshot and falls to the floor. Video shows the third man talk to Yalahow then leave, the Crown said.
The Crown told the jury that Wilson can then be heard telling Yalahow: “Yo, I shot that guy. Yo, I shot that guy. Yo, I shot that guy.” It took police 10 months to identify and arrest the third man, seen on the video arriving at the hall with the two other men accused in the murder, the Crown said. Therefore, he is not part of this trial, but has been charged with manslaughter and is scheduled for trial in June 2024.
