Following testimony from his co-defendant, prosecutors played video from the suspected shooter's interview with investigators after the May 7, 2019 shooting. DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. — The former student charged with first-degree murder for the deadly shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch told police one story in its aftermath, but his phone records paint a different picture. This was the theme of testimony from Douglas County Det. Brian Pereira, who was the lead investigator for the May 7, 2019 school shooting that killed senior Kendrick Castillo, who multiple witnesses said rushed suspected shooter Devon Erickson when he pulled out a gun during their English literature class. Erickson’s co-defendant, Alec McKinney, has already pleaded guilty for his role in the shooting, during which multiple other students were injured. McKinney testified against Erickson on Tuesday and Wednesday, and claimed that the then-18-year-old was the instigator. This is contrary to the defense’s argument that McKinney had coerced Erickson into participating in the shooting, as well as statements made by the suspect himself. > The video above is from McKinney's previous testimony against Erickson.  The prosecution played video Wednesday afternoon from Erickson’s roughly 90-minute interview with police in the moments after the shooting.
