'I could have stopped something': Witness recalls fatal bush bash shooting

"At the time I just thought that he hurt somebody with the gun." She continued, "When I found out I wasn't surprised... I thought it was crazy and sad."

Kaiah Edmonds took her time as she resumed her testimony in a London courthouse on Friday, telling the court that she experienced a range of emotions in the minutes and days after 18-year-old Josue Silva was shot to death at a bush party off Pack Road in southwest London on July 30, 2021.

"I couldn't process this being real," she said.

Edmonds testified that she saw a lot of young people yelling once she arrived at the party with her friend and one of the accused Carlos Guerra Guerra.

She has also told the jury that while on the way to the gathering, she noticed that Guerra Guerra had a firearm in his car.

Edmonds said after hearing the yelling and then a loud bang, a group of them ran from the scene, "At the time I just thought that he hurt somebody with the gun." She continued, "When I found out I wasn't surprised... I thought it was crazy and sad."

While fighting back tears on the stand she said, "I was feeling so many different things, I couldn't process...I could have stopped something in a lot of ways."

She said in the days after she would learn that Silva died in hospital.
