Witnesses Describe Post-shooting Panic

Van Allen was one of five Apple workers who took the stand and recalled hearing what many described as two loud bangs that sent them diving for cover and in some instances crawling to the back room for safety. Jurors viewed Maeweather, who is also charged with attempted assault, criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment, being interviewed by Guilderland police Detective Charles Tanner, the lead investigator on the case. Maeweather tells Tanner that he took his two younger sisters to the H&M store and bought a $205 pair of Air Jordan sneakers for himself at Champs but insisted he had nothing to do with the shooting, is not part of a gang and knows a lot of people but doesn't have beef with anyone. Kindlon argued that Guilderland cops focused on Maeweather even though Albany police came up with other potential suspects, including one who was standing outside the Apple Store at the time of the shooting and was later picked up in Colonie and charged with criminal possession of a weapon. Under questioning from Kindlon, Tanner said a search of Maeweather's home didn't turn up a gun or any ballistic evidence linking him to the shooting and that detectives didn't search other locations recorded by Maeweather's GPS monitor he was wearing while on probation for drug-related conviction in 2015,
