Overview

• Jurors were told a nearby camera captured a hooded shooter firing through a smashed pane, with prosecutors identifying the gunman as Sean Reay.
• Forensic evidence outlined in court included a 9mm bullet recovered from a sofa cushion and a casing found in the road, with a pathologist citing a gunshot wound to the chest as the cause of death.
• Prosecutors said three defendants — Reay, Kelvin Lawson and Thomas Sterling — took a taxi to Durham station and boarded a northbound train to Edinburgh the evening of the shooting.
• The court heard Michaela Hetherington reported her Seat Arona as stolen the next day, which prosecutors called a lie, and police later found the car partly burnt out behind Oxhill Youth Centre.
• All five male defendants deny murder and Hetherington denies perverting the course of justice, with the case continuing at Teesside Crown Court.
