A Jamaican man accused of fatally shooting a man made repeated visits to a home in Nassau Village asking for his victim, according to prosecution witnesses.
Derrick Paul Suer is on trial for the June 22, 2010 murder of Geraltoe Johnson. He has pleaded not guilty at his trial before Justice Indra Charles.
According to Phillipa Culmer and Robertha Stubbs, a tall, slim man dressed in blue jeans, an orange shirt and white tennis came to their home inquiring about the "short dark boy with the rims".
Both witnesses said after telling the man that Johnson was not home, the stranger, who spoke with a Jamaican accent, came back several times to see if he had returned.
Culmer said she became uneasy when she noticed a bulge under the man's shirt that she believed was a gun. However, she did not call the police.
Later that night, Stubbs said she was at the computer when she heard gunshots. Stubbs said she looked through the window and saw the same man shooting at Johnson in the street.
Stubbs said Johnson tried to run away. After the shooting, the man fled through a track road, according to Stubbs.
Stubbs refuted suggestions by Suer's lawyer that she did not have a clear view of the shooter.
She agreed, however, that the other suspects on the police lineup did not resemble Suer.
Both Culmer and Stubbs picked out Suer in separate identification parades, the court heard. Both witnesses testified via videolink from the Attorney General's Office.
Charles told the jury not to reach any conclusions because the witnesses did not testify in the court.
The trial continues on Monday.
Kevin Farrington and Anishka Hanchell are prosecuting.
