COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Testimony is set to begin Friday in the trial of a Fort Carson soldier accused of killing two people and wounding another in drive-by shootings.
Prosecutors say Iraq war veteran Jomar Falu-Vives called his assault rifle “his toy.”
During opening arguments, Deputy District Attorney Diana May said Falu-Vives’ gun was traced to the shootings. But defense attorney Kent R.P Gray said there were other people besides Falu-Vives in the vehicles linked to the shootings.
Falu-Vives is accused of wounding Capt. Zachary Zsody outside a home May 26, 2008. Police say the same AK47 was used just over a week later in fatal shootings of 20-year-old Cesar Ramirez-Ibanez and 18-year-old Amairany Cervantes as they put up signs for a garage sale.
