Day Two: "Red car" sped away after shots fired, "tall, skinny" person running in opposite direction

Milek Jefferson now takes the stand. Jefferson is the 17 year old son of Sheila Zigler, who lives on 1130 Neilson Street. Jefferson says he was home the night of Aril 12 in the living room with his father, watching a movie, though he can't recall which movie.

He says he heard three gunshots in a row, got up and went to the window. He says he saw a police car and a "Red car speeding off" towards South Street and Mortimer.

In relation to the red car, Jefferson says the police car was behind it. He says as the car sped off, he saw someone else running in the opposite direction the car was headed, toward Eagle Street.

Jefferson says the person he saw fleeing was tall, skinny, with a white hoodie and jeans.

Jefferson points out on a photograph of the house across the street from his where he saw the person in the hoodie and in what direction that person ran off in. Jefferson says that other than the red car and the person in the hoodie, he saw no one else at the scene that night.

Jefferson says that when he went outside he saw "a cop laying down," and told his mom, who subsequently called 911.

Jefferson gave a statement the next day.
