Three more people entered before Aiyash pushed a button to lock the door, keeping the four inside.<\/p>\n<p>The scene was volatile. Video shows McCray throwing a beverage against the security glass and demanding the door be opened. Two men who were subsequently shot testified that McCray threatened to shoot everyone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If not for the fact that he locked the door, none of this would have happened,&#8221; the judge said of Aiyash&#8217;s actions.<\/p>\n<p>Aiyash finally unlocked the door just seconds before a third man, Greg Kelly, was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/crime\/homicide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shot and killed<\/a>. Two others were wounded.<\/p>\n<p>David Langston, his left arm in a sling, testified that he and Kelly simply wanted to buy cigarettes after a night of partying.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;Hey, man, we got nothing to do with this. Don&#8217;t shoot us,'&#8221; Langston recalled telling McCray. &#8220;I played dead so he would stop shooting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anthony Bowden said he had visited the gas station to get cash from an ATM.

But he blamed the fatal shooting on a hot exchange of words between McCray and Kelly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There was nothing to indicate that Mr. Aiyash knew that Mr. McCray had a gun,&#8221; Gonek said.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, McCray is facing charges of murder and attempted murder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/detroit-clerk-stand-trial-locking-door-shoplifter-shot-customers\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/detroit-clerk-stand-trial-locking-door-shoplifter-shot-customers <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A judge on Tuesday ordered a Detroit gas station clerk to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter, saying his decision to lock the door and then [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"twitter_2902945987_2902945987":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[16563],"tags":[],"stock_ticker":[],"class_list":["post-68863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
