Day Two: Neilson St. resident found Lindsey's body, called 911

Sheila Zigler has taken the stand...she is a resident who was living on Neilson Street at the time of the shooting.

Zigler has lived at 1130 Neilson Street for 7 years. She says she lives there with her 4 kids and her fiance'.

Zigler fell asleep in her second story bedroom watching "CSI: Miami" when she was awoken by three gunshots in a row, she said. She says she jumped up and asked if everyone in the house was all right.

She says her fiance told her that her son and her son's girlfriend were out.

She ran downstairs and looked out the window and saw a patrol car, assuming the police were already on scene. This was Officer Lindsey's car. The further she approached the scene, it became clear to her that there was a police officer laying on the ground.

Zigler says that the street lights had not gone on, and only the emergency lights of the patrol car illuminated the scene. Zigler ran into the house and called 911, gave the dispatcher her address and what had happened.

Shown a photo of her own house, she points out where in the street Lindsey's patrol vehicle (Car 57) was at the time. Zigler says that she didn't see anyone around at the scene when she was outside.

Zigler says that her fiance and one of her children were in the living room at the time of the shots being heard.

Prosecution has no more questions.
