Video from the shooting in July 2020 shows what happened outside a Wawa gas station on 103rd Street.
Cooper is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of 16-year-old Teneria McClendon.The video shows Cooper with a gun and McClendon falls to the ground. In court on Tuesday, attorneys played the video for jurors to see.
Both the state and the defense said the video clearly shows what happened. In the video, Cooper walks toward McClendon and the other girls she was with then Cooper backs away, points the gun at McClendon and fires. The state said the video shows Cooper took it too far. The defense said Cooper acted in self-defense and they asked the jury to pay close attention. “I was standing there with my arms out saying these are teenagers, then she spit and she shot her like she was nothing,” Teneria McClendon’s mother Sharonica Eady said.The state said Cooper used unreasonable force in shooting McClendon. McClendon was with her mother and five other teenage girls. Some of the girls took the stand Tuesday. We heard the police body camera from the officer who detained Cooper shortly after the shooting. Cooper is heard saying "please don't let the child die", " I could've walked away from the situation," and " they spit at me."
