BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - The second week of the McCray murder trial kicked off with more dramatic testimony.

During direct examination by prosecutors, Rickita Latham of Buffalo testified that she saw Riccardo McCray shoot at least three people out front of the City Grill last August.

At one point she says she heard one of the victims plead with McCray, "Please don't kill me."

She identified McCray in court and told jurors she was certain it was McCray who fired a gun that night.

Later in the day, former Erie County Forensic Pathologist Mark Levon testified that one of the victims, Willie McCaa died of a gunshot wound to the back of the head, and that McCaa had alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy in his system.

Also, several excerpts of jail house phone calls made by McCray were played for jurors. In one of the calls, McCray could be heard saying, quote, "I'm done with this if I make it through. If I don't, it is what it is, you make your bed, you lay in it".
