The decision against Tieshawn Matthews made Tuesday afternoon after testimony from a number of people, including responding officers.

Loved ones from Corleon Gordon also gave testimony.

“What did you see, if anything, when you took off out of the door?” an attorney asked one of Gordon’s loved ones in court on Tuesday.

“My baby laying on the ground bleeding,” they answered.
