The whole recap for Day 3 9:20 AM · Dr. Randall Graham, a Methodist Health System neurosurgeon, testified that northbound I-35 traffic came to a standstill around noon on Nov. 11, 2020. 9:26 AM · Dr. Graham testified he heard loud banging, saw a man sprint past his car, then felt and heard an explosion with glass hitting his face. 9:27 AM · Dr. Graham described a second man with a rifle who stopped at the passenger-side headlight of his car and fired two or three shots past it before running off. 9:29 AM · Dr. Graham testified the shooter wore a black cloth mask, so he could not make out facial features. 9:33 AM · Dr. Graham testified he performed chest compressions and CPR on the victim, who had multiple gunshot wounds and was breathing abnormally. 9:51 AM · Lozano testified that she was the second crime scene analyst to arrive at the highway shooting, about 45 minutes after Justin O'Donnell, at about 1:44 p.m. 9:52 AM · Lozano testified that fired cartridge cases are easily moved or bounced around in a scene with a lot of movement, so traffic could have affected evidence. 10:22 AM · Lozano testified that she searched the Audi because it had a bullet hole through the driver's-side windshield, and she found a fragment on the rear floorboard. 10:51 AM · O'Donnell testified he was the first crime scene analyst at the Nov. 11, 2020 freeway scene and said he counted 44 fired cartridge cases. 11:08 AM · O'Donnell testified the money collected from the gold Honda, including from jeans and a backpack, totaled $17,960 and was taken to the property room. 11:10 AM · O'Donnell testified he found no firearm when he searched the gold Honda and removed no panels, and agreed a firearm was later found in the car. 11:11 AM · O'Donnell testified that on Dec. 9, 2020, he photographed a suspect he learned was Kewon White; the defense said it had no objection to the photos. 11:24 AM · O'Donnell told the defense he could not say how old the bills he collected were, and said he was only documenting them. 11:31 AM · Forbing testified she went to the I-35 scene to photograph another vehicle with damage, which was north of the main scene shown on the diagram. 11:42 AM · Robles testified the 12:48 time stamp on his shop's video ran one hour ahead because of the daylight saving time change, and the correct time was about 11:48. 11:43 AM · Robles identified a Honda Accord, then about 40 seconds later a Chevrolet Camaro, heading east on video from his shop about 2 to 3 miles from I-35. 1:13 PM · Armenta testified Dallas police came to her door asking about surveillance video, and said she had cameras facing the parking lot outside her window. 1:16 PM · Armenta testified the car she did not recognize in State's Exhibit 615 was a black Camaro, and agreed it was backed in across the street from her complex. 1:21 PM · On cross, Armenta testified a woman's voice on one of her videos sounded like Jocylynn's, and agreed with the defense that she sounded excited and emotional. 1:21 PM · The judge sustained the state's speculation objection to a defense question on whether the woman's statements were true and told jurors to disregard the answer. 1:23 PM · Detective Seth Rosenberg testified he has worked in the Dallas police crime scene unit for 15 years and with the department for 25 years. 1:26 PM · Rosenberg testified he went to the police auto pound to retrieve fired bullets from the door of Melvin Noble's car, removed the door panel and recovered none. 1:57 PM · Rosenberg identified a semi-automatic rifle and its drum magazine from a house searched under a warrant, and said the drum can hold up to 50 rounds. 2:03 PM · The judge overruled a defense objection that a drum magazine exhibit was cumulative and unrelated to the murder;

both guns were received into evidence. 3:04 PM · Bazan testified he collected an ID at the house bearing the name Devin Maurice Brown Jr.; Brown is charged separately and has not been tried. 3:33 PM · On cross, Bazan told the defense he believed the house was a drug house or trap house, which he described as a place where people conduct illegal activities. 3:51 PM · On redirect, Bazan testified he found no large amounts of money or stacks of bills at the house, only a dollar bill in a kitchen cabinet. 3:55 PM · On redirect, Bazan testified the ID card for Devin Brown, who is charged separately and has not been tried, listed a Duncanville address, not the house. 3:59 PM · Derek Wright testified he is an ATF special agent and group supervisor, has been with ATF since 2016, and before that was an Albuquerque police officer. 4:10 PM · Wright testified he was not part of the original investigation and was asked to search a Honda Accord at the Dallas police impound lot on Oct. 18, 2023. 4:17 PM · Wright testified his dog indicated twice in the front passenger area, and another special agent pulled down the footwell carpet and found the firearm. 4:19 PM · Wright agreed with the prosecutor that the gun was concealed pretty well and testified it was not easily accessible if someone needed it in a hurry. 4:20 PM · On cross, Wright told the defense ATF's NIBIN database flags possible cartridge case matches, and firearms and tool mark examiners make final determinations. 4:25 PM · On cross, Wright testified he had found guns in vehicles before, in bags and under seats, but not hidden in the carpet. 4:26 PM · Judge Anyiam recessed court for the day and said the trial would resume at 9 a.m. the next morning.
