PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The trial for a man accused of killing a man, stealing a U-Haul truck and leading police on a chase in 2021 continued on Wednesday.
Family and friends of the victims were in tears listening to the testimony against the suspect. At one point an alternate juror had to be dismissed, as the testimony from the doctor treating the victim was too much to handle.
A video shown during this trial allegedly shows Braijon Burton going to the U-Haul store on Washington Boulevard in July 2021. Burton is accused of shooting and killing Jacob Jaillet.
“A man just got shot, and they stole our truck,” co-worker Corey Dick said on the 911 call.
The calls played during this case detailed the minutes after when coworkers called for help.
“I’m putting pressure on the wound, but he’s bleeding on the ground,” Dick said to 911 dispatchers.
On Wednesday, multiple bags of evidence were shown to the jury, including the shirt Jaillet was wearing. The blood-stained collar and bullet holes told the jury where the victim was shot.
