Mother of the 2-year-old who was killed in Langley Park identified the accused

The trial of man Lewisdale, Maryland, who was charged with having shot a 2-year-old boy fatally last year, began on Wednesday.

Thursday is the second day of the certificate in front of Prince George County Court in the murder trial of 28-year-old Johnny Alejandro Turate.

He will be charged with a shootout in February 2024 for murder of Jeremy Pouou-Caceres, from which the police concern a dispute over drug trade territory.

Pouou-Caceres and his mother walked nearby when they were hit by stray balls. His mother, 19-year-old Rosa Caceres, was also shot, but survived.

It is expected that additional forensic experts start from the certificate on Thursday morning by describing what type of weapon was used during the shootout.

On Wednesday, Caceres gave a dramatic testimony when it was called the first witness. A family member sat in the courtroom with a stoic facial expression and fought back against tears when she said for about 30 minutes and then became subdued.

When asked by the public prosecutor Daniel Kim whether she recognized the suspect and whether he was at the shootout, she replied: “This is he” when he was about 10 feet from her at the defense table.

Kim said that he himself did not go to Langley Park through Alejandro Turcate to kill the child, intended to kill someone, and he should be found guilty for murder.

During his survey, the defender Keith Hiller tried to question her memory of the shootout, and told the jury that Caceres only recognized the accused after the police showed her a picture of his client and had seen her on social media.

Caceres told the jury that they pushed their son in a stroller from an almost McDonalds in Langley Park and had to jump four men out of a stolen Gold Ford discoverer and shoot on other men. Both you and the child were hit by shots.

Caceres said she tried to protect the child when bullets were fired nearby, but she couldn't get it out of the stroller.

She said, although she was shot, her main concern was the security of her son, who later died in a hospital.

According to her certificate, Caceres was quiet with a relative and a court official. She went briefly for about 10 minutes when the prosecutors played a police video of the chaotic crime scene in the moments after their arrival. She put her face in her hands, began to sob and went out.

The shootout occurred in the 1400 block of the Kanawha Street. The SUV, which was involved in the shootings, was parked a few hours later on a nearby street.

In court documents, the prosecutors said Alejandro Turcios and another suspect were involved in a dispute with another man in which they said that it was a territorial disagreement towards drug trafficking.

The public prosecutor said that Alejandro Turcios was also on probation at the time of the shootout because of a robbery.

The rest of the day was listened to by a series of police police officers of Prince George, who examined the case, and by the investigators of the crime scene to show and explain physical evidence to the jury. The officials confiscated a semi -automatic rifle and dozens of shells, of which they said they agreed from the rifle.

The defense said that she would be expected to present her case later a week, and the case could be before a jury by the next Tuesday.

Israel Fuentes Jr., 34, from Lewisdale, is also waiting in connection with the shootout on court hearing and is to be brought to trial until next January.

David Medina owed his charges; And the case against Nilson Granados-Trejo, 26, was released due to a lack of evidence.
