Montez Davis, right, is on trial for the fatal shooting of a man who was pumping gas at the Kanku's on Wilcox Boulevard early last year. He and his attorney, Curtis Bowe, left, listen during jury selection Tuesday.This afternoon a series of local police and state investigators detailed evidence gathered at the scene of a fatal Jan. 2010 gas station shooting.
Police and prosecutors allege that Montez Davis, 20, drove through the parking lot of 3440 Wilcox Boulevard on the night of Jan. 9, 2010, in a rented white Jeep Patriot.
While Davis was driving through the lot someone, in the crowd hurled a bottle that shattered the SUV's back window.
Davis drove about 30 yards to the end of the lot, stopped the car, got out and began firing a .40 cal Glock handgun at the crowd, police and prosecutors say.
On of the slugs struck Jonathan Lawrence in the throat as he pumped gas, killing him.
Prosecutors called Chattanooga police officers who investigated the shooting all morning Wednesday, the second day of the trial.
Davis' attorney, Curtis L. Bowe III, has maintained Davis had no intention of killing Lawrence and had reacted to continued harassment and intimidation by people in the parking lot.
