After a follow -up, the public prosecutor's office presented screenshots of the music videos and asked if the official knew or recognized one of the participants.

The defense and the public prosecutor agreed to play a number of surveillance videos for the jury to demonstrate the shootout in Longfellow Street. Two videos showed that several people leave a car and sneak into a house and light out shots, while other videos showed that people fled to the scene.

The public prosecutor described its last witness, another officer with MPD, who said about the shootout, which took place on the 800 Block Oglethorpe Road, during which the public prosecutor claimed that queen and friends had been targeted hours before the Longfellow shooting.
