Defendant: Terry Lamaire Gaines

Charge: First-degree murder

Allegation: Gaines, 24, is accused in the fatal shooting of Michael Allen Davis, 27, on April 3, 2009, in a parking lot outside the Mr. Biggs Event Center in Colorado Springs shortly after a concert by California rapper E-40.

Prosecution says: Gaines fired nine shots, emptying his .45 caliber Glock handgun in a senseless cold-blooded killing. Gaines then led police on a high speed chase south on Interstate 25, while calling his mother to say that he had shot someone.

Defense says: Gaines thought Davis was reaching for a gun in a car when the defendant shot him to death in self-defense. Defense attorneys contend Davis made threatening gun-like gestures at Gaines during the concert.

Status: Monday was the third day of testimony in the trial, which had been recessed since Thursday to allow a juror to deal with a family emergency.

What’s new: Devon Gaines, the defendant’s brother, testified that he did not see his brother having a problem during the concert.

Devon Gaines described hearing shots as he was leaving the event center, but by then, he had been separated from his brother. Later, he found Terry Gaines sitting in the driver’s seat of his car. Devon Gaines said he and another passenger got into the Dodge vehicle. They drove off from the parking lot outside Mr. Biggs.

A short time later, Devon Gaines said he saw a police car chasing them. He said his brother told him, “I’m going to jail,” just before letting him and the other passenger out of the car and taking off with the police in pursuit.

What’s next: The trial is expected to continue through this week. Visit “The Sidebar” blog at gazettedev.gazette.com for updates.
