Four witnesses were called to testify during day two of a teen's manslaughter trial.
The teen, SM who is now 17 years old, is one of seven youths charged in connection with the death of a 16-year-old in 2022.
The accused, victim, or name of the school close to where the incident happened cannot be named because of the Youth Criminal Justice Act and a publication ban.
"I saw a boy walking across the street and another group of boys following behind him," a young woman told the court on Wednesday.
CTV News Edmonton is not identifying the witness because she was a teen at the time.
She went on to say a boy jumped on the victim's back.
"It looked like he was struggling to get him off," she said.
