Daemeontae Watson's older brother, was also holding a gun and wearing a ski mask. He approached the driver’s side and leaned inside. He allegedly noticed the word security on her clothes and immediately opened fire, striking Claybourne in her face and shoulder.
Daemeontae Watson, 17, didn’t open fire at Salena Claybourne, a mother of two, but he appeared in court Wednesday charged as an adult in her murder.
Video captures the shooting and private cameras show the brothers run from the scene, only to be arrested about a half hour later, prosecutors said. The gas station attendant, who knew Claybourne as a regular customer, saw the murder and allegedly identified the brothers afterward. "This victim was coming home from work … trying to fill up her tank and was in the process of leaving when these two defendants, two brothers, saw the opportunity and approached in order to hijack her vehicle," Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy said.
