A police officer was questioned about the timing of CCTV footage from the night of a fatal shooting in Pembroke.

Prosecutors said recordings from Court Street showed Kiari Tucker, the defendant, walk into the Elliott Street car park shortly before a motorcycle with a pillion passenger was seen riding away from the area in the direction of Curving Avenue.

Marc Daniels, for Mr Tucker, said that the timing of the videos would have given the defendant only 18 seconds to get on the vehicle and travel a block if he had been the pillion passenger.

Mr Tucker, 27, has denied the 2017 murder of Marlon Steede, 35, and the use of a firearm to commit an indictable offence.

The Supreme Court previously heard that Mr Steede was chased through the One Way Deepdale area of Pembroke and fatally shot on the night of November 3, 2017.

CCTV footage played for the court showed Mr Tucker and others at Court Street on the afternoon of the shooting.

The recordings showed Mr Tucker getting on the back of a motorcycle and being taken to One Way Deepdale before returning to Court Street minutes later.

He was later seen walking into the Elliott Street parking lot and off camera shortly after 8.20pm.

Footage subsequently showed a motorcycle with two men travel along King Street and on to Curving Avenue, coming from the direction of the Elliott Street parking lot.

At about 9.11pm that day, CCTV footage from Deepdale appeared to show a figure in dark clothing and a helmet walking through the area.

At about 9.40pm, roughly 25 minutes after the individual walked out of frame, a man in black is seen chasing a man in a white shirt down One Way Deepdale and towards Parsons Road with flashes of light coming from the outstretched hand of the man in black.

Mr Tucker is then seen walking on to Court Street from Angle Street at about 9.53pm.

As the trial continued yesterday, Detective Constable Christopher Sabean, who collected and reviewed the footage, agreed that much of what was seen on the Court Street footage was activity that commonly takes place in the area.

He also accepted that after Mr Tucker was seen walking into the Elliott Street car park, he could very well have walked away on Union Street without being seen on the CCTV footage before the court.

Asked by Mr Daniels to review footage from a CCTV camera on King Street, Mr Sabean agreed that he saw what appeared to be a person crossing Union Street in the distance at about 8.21pm.

Questioned about the timing of the recordings, Mr Sabean accepted that he saw the defendant enter the parking lot 47 seconds after 8.21pm, and the motorcycle was seen on the King Street recording five seconds after 8.22pm.

He also agreed that while Mr Tucker was seen wearing black pants with a white stripe down the leg, he had not made note of any similar markings on the motorcycle’s pillion passenger.

The trial continues.
