Prosecutors closed their case against the sergeant and officer, and a verdict is expected Thursday at 1 p.m.

On the morning of July 22nd, 2022, the two officers were headed to training at the police academy when they saw a group of masked individuals at 18th and Morgan.But the State Attorney's Office later determined police fired first.Prosecutors said Medina was walking with an armed teen when they were approached by officers in an unmarked car.

In court, Medina testified stating he thought the unmarked car was a group of gang members so he put his hands up to show he was unarmed. He held a cell phone and wine bottle in one hand. As the armed teen ran off, officers fired shots out of the patrol car. Medina was struck. That was the belief until the surveillance video was released and showed a different story.© 2023 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.
