Khalid's father, Mounah, was the first to take the stand. Many members of the family were in tears as they listend to him sob through his 9-1-1 call saying "he shot him, he shot him" over and over again. From there, a neighbor took over the call crying "he's bleeding everywhere."
Next, Khalid's mother Haifai testified. She said the day of the shooting, Khalid spoke to her on the phone, warning her not to come home after running errands. She said her son told her their neighbor had a gun, and he was worried about safety.
Jabara also spoke of being hit from behind by a vehicle while walking down the street in 2015, which placed her in a nursing facility for about two months. Majors was arrested for this crime.
Khalid's siblings also spoke to highlight challenges they saw with the family's neighbor.
Multiple police officers took the stand, saying during their encounters with Majors he made comments such as "I'm white, you're white, why are the Lebanese running the show."
