Witness testifies on events following Mark Saldivar's shooting at Chick-fil-A

The trial of Seymour McIntyre continued on April 7, 2025, in the 187th District Court, presided over by Judge Stephanie Boyd. The proceedings focused on the events surrounding the shooting of Mark Saldivar in a Chick-fil-A parking lot, with key testimonies shedding light on the moments following the incident.

Witness Peter Bell testified about his experience in the vehicle with McIntyre and others during and after the shooting. He confirmed that the shooting occurred outside the vehicle and stated that Saldivar was not armed at the time. Bell described how McIntyre directed him to drive away from the scene, leading them to a nearby Mexican restaurant.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Bell recounted that McIntyre and another individual, Jaylen, began to search through Saldivar's belongings, including a backpack and wallet. Bell expressed his frustration upon discovering only $10 in the wallet. He also noted a moment of camaraderie between McIntyre and Jaylen, where they celebrated the shooting with a high-five and comments about McIntyre's actions.

The testimony also touched on the contents of Saldivar's backpack, which McIntyre claimed contained personal items, including condoms and lubricant. However, when questioned about Saldivar's cell phone, the court sustained an objection regarding McIntyre's statements, instructing the jury to disregard that part of the testimony.

The trial continues to unfold as the prosecution and defense present their cases, with significant implications for all parties involved. The next steps in the trial will further clarify the circumstances surrounding the shooting and the actions taken by those present.
