Closing Arguments Today in Waterloo Murder Trial

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — Testimony has concluded in the trial of a man accused of shooting to death an 18-year-old in 2013.

The defense rested Monday in the case against 24-year-old Perquondis Holmes, who is charged with first-degree murder and two other crimes. He was arrested in connection with the November 2013 slaying of DaeQuan Campbell.

Prosecutors say Campbell died at the wheel of a car after Holmes fired shots and fled the scene.

The defense called only one witness to the stand, Pershundis Holmes, the suspect's brother. He says he saw someone with a gun following the shooting, but that it wasn't his brother. He says he later drove Perquondis Holmes to Nebraska because he feared for his safety.

Closing arguments are scheduled for Tuesday.
