A. No, I have never seen him before.

Q. Can you describe the gun?

A. It was a gun like the police have but it was silver. (Det. Danks shows Ms. Howard a 38 S&W 2in revolver, silver in color) Yes, just like that.

Q. Did the male in the red still have the gun in his hand when he ran up 10th st?

A. I couldn't tell.

Q. Tell me about the other male, the one that came down the steps on Chedell's side.

A. He was the same age, taller than the guy in the red. The guy in the red was as tall as you or a little taller (5'9 to 5'10). The guy in the black jacket, this guy was a little taller than the one in the red.

Q. This second male had on a black jacket?

A. Yeah, black leather jacket. Jeans. I didn't notice the rest. I mainly saw the guy in the red. He was brown complected.

Q. Have you ever seen him before, anywhere?

A. No, I have never seen either one of them.

Q. When the male in the red was struggling with Chedell, where was the male in the black?

A. Kinda like a car length up 10th st. He stayed off but he stayed and watched everything. He waited after Chedell was shot and then he and the guy in the red ran off together up 10th st. There was a car parked at the top of the hill. I saw it on the left side of the street and it was parked facing away. They both ran to the car. I think the guy in the red went to the driver's side and the one in the black went to the passenger side.
