Posted at 1:47 p.m.

This is the theory presented to the jury the prosecutor of the crown m^e Jade Coderre Tuesday at the opening of the Estimated Jonathan Guerly trial, alias Johnny or Von, and Léonardo Joseph, alias Papyjo, at the Montreal courthouse. The two men are accused of the second degree murder of Stenley Guecin, alias Oblack.

“On December 24, 2021, when most of us were preparing to celebrate the holidays after months of pandemic, an irreparable drama was played behind the walls of an apartment in Ville Mont-Royal, on rue Trenton. What was to be an evening of games, of carelessness, turned out to be a fatal night, “said the jury m^e Coderre.

According to the crown thesis, accused Leonardo Joseph had been in conflict with the victim for years. A few months earlier, the victim was fighting with friends from the accused. It is in this context that Leonardo Joseph sent the victim a vocal message, six days before the murder: “Give me life. Give it to me. We will see what will happen ”.

Around 1:40 am, the two accused land at the party. An accomplice opens the door to them. They walk “without hesitation” towards Stenley Guecin in the basement. They grab it and summon it to go out. An “altercation” follows. Then, Jonathan estimated takes out a blue gun with camouflage patterns and killed the 18 -year -old man, according to the story of the pursuit.

A “friend and ally” of Jonathan estimated, a so -called Bertina Désiré, would have allowed the two accused to locate their target by giving them the address, according to the crown thesis. An hour before the murder, she would have filmed the victim in the basement of the party. This video ended up in Jonathan estimated cellular. The victim was surrounded by a red circle.

After the murder, the two accused ask their driver to respect the speed limits and discuss to get rid of a “thing”. Later, Jonathan Estimé will entrust someone to have shot the victim “Oblack” at close range. He will send his interlocutor a photo of a blue gun, with camouflage patterns. At least that is what the crown intends to prove during the trial.

“The accumulation of testimonies, and the proof of the cells of the accused and Bertina Désiré will allow you to be convinced, that in the night of December 23 to 24, 2021, the accused decided to go to the festival of rue Trenton, without being invited, in the precise goal of settle their conflicts with the victim,” said the Coderre prosecutor, who teams up with M^e Jasmine Guillaume.

A policewoman began her testimony on Tuesday noon.

The accused are defended by M^e Jonas Fault and M^e Franco Schiro.
