ALLEN COUNTY, OH (WLIO) - The members of the jury will have to make a verdict on 24-year-old Daquan Burse in three separate cases. Prosecutors say there are a drug possession case involving a fentanyl-related substance, a trafficking heroin case, and a case involving a 2019 shooting where an occupied car at a Collett St. home was hit with gunfire.
“As soon as she opened that car door, she heard gunshots,” says Joe Everhart, Allen County Assistant Prosecutor. “She gets back into that car, she hears the gunshots hitting off the car there in the driveway at 331 Collett right next to the house. You are going to hear officers found shell casing in the street during their investigation.”
“None of the occupants of the vehicle actually reported seeing the firearm being fired, actually seeing the shots,” says Kirk McVay, Defense Attorney. “They reported hearing the shots. Reporting knowing that the shots have struck the vehicle. But none of them reported seeing who fired the shots.”
The trial is expected to take a couple of days, prosecutors will resume presenting their case on Wednesday.
