The trial of the man accused of causing the death of Officer Julian Becerra continued Thursday morning, featuring additional police and expert testimonies.

Opening statements in the trial of 32-year-old Devon Bobian began Tuesday following the conclusion of the jury selection process. Bobian is the final person to stand trial of the three individuals arrested for their alleged involvement in Becerra’s death.

Bobian, Anthony Vallejos and Daniesha Pacheco were arrested in February 2023 after stealing a car and leading multiple law enforcement agencies on a chase throughout El Paso County, according to previous reports by The Gazette.

Vallejos testified Thursday as a witness for the prosecution. Pacheco is expected to testify later in the trial.

After a brief delay Vallejos was taken to the courthouse Thursday afternoon.

During Vallejos’ testimony, the prosecution brought in his signed plea agreement document, in which Vallejos pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery. The document states Bobian was present at the time of the robbery, and brandished a firearm — aiding and abetting in the robbery.

Vallejos’ signed plea agreement, that contains incriminating information regarding Bobian’s part in the robbery, was entered as evidence within the case without further objection.

Pacheco refused transport to the El Paso County jail from the Colorado Department of Corrections Thursday morning and did not testify.

No trial proceedings were held Wednesday.

Thursday’s court session was an emotional one, with a video played by the prosecution featuring body-camera footage of Becerra’s point of view, leading up to his fatal fall off the bridge.

In the footage, Becerra can be seen driving his patrol vehicle aggressively in pursuit of the three co-defendants. He can be heard talking into his police radio saying the suspect vehicle was trying to hit him before a loud noise is heard and the vehicle comes to a stop.

Through Becerra’s bodycam footage, Bobian can be seen standing on top of Becerra’s vehicle as he exits the patrol car. Sudden camera movement preceded the moment Becerra falls from the bridge and lands in bushes.

Following the footage of the fall, Becerra’s hindered breathing could be heard in the footage. The footage elicited cries from the jury and those in attendance.

“Becerra, oh God!” one officer in the clip can be heard saying.

“It’s a miracle, he’s breathing. He just fell f—king 25 feet!” another person in the footage says.

As the footage presented to the court depicted Becerra’s fall and the minutes he waited for help alone, Bobian could be seen looking toward the ground, slowly shaking his head.

Multiple people in attendance left the courtroom in tears as Becerra’s labored breathing worsened in the footage and officers called for medical assistance at the scene.

Also Thursday, Detective Nicholas Birklish with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office spoke on the recovery of multiple pieces of evidence from the suspect’s vehicle, including multiple firearms and a black backpack.

According to Birklish, the backpack was found in the front passenger seat of the vehicle and held multiple items — a pirated key fob that could hijack cars of the same make and model, a lock-picking kit and a 9-mm firearm. Birklish told the court the backpack appeared to belong to the person driving, Bobian, and not the co-defendants in the back seat.

Prosecutor Brent Nelson called multiple expert witnesses to the stand Thursday to speak on the evidence discovered inside the involved blue Hyundai, and collected DNA evidence.

Mariah Wortworth, a CSPD Metro Crime Lab technician and expert in firearm technologies, took the stand Thursday and confirmed that all three firearms — the two 9-mm pistols and the .380-caliber handgun — were all functional that night in January 2023.

Additionally, Wortworth confirmed she swabbed all three guns to collect DNA evidence ahead of testing the weapons formally.

Donna Manogue, an expert in DNA analysis with the department’s Metro Crime Lab, spoke on the findings of the swabbed firearms. She told the court Thursday that while two of the firearms did not appear to carry significant genetic material, the 9-mm Taurus pistol was a positive match for Bobian’s DNA.

Bobian’s trial is anticipated to run into the next week. He is facing charges of murder in the second degree, aggravated robbery, vehicular eluding, criminal attempt, possession of weapons by previous offenders and aggravated motor vehicle theft.

Court records show that in March of last year, Bobian pleaded guilty to weapon possession by a previous offender in two different criminal cases in Pueblo County. Each charge resulted in him being sentenced to 18 months in the state Department of Corrections.
