Maya Pluchowski testified about the chaotic moments after an 18-year-old Western University student was shot at a bush party in London, Ontario, on July 30, 2021. She described a scene of panic as Emily Altmann, one of the accused, drove away recklessly after the gunfire. Pluchowski noted that Altmann appeared intoxicated and made threats before the shooting. After hearing a gunshot, Altmann and others rushed back to their vehicle, screaming about the shooting. Josue Silva was later found with a fatal gunshot wound. Both Altmann and co-accused Carlos Guerra Guerra have pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. Pluchowski also mentioned that Altmann instructed the group to remain silent about the incident, raising concerns for her safety. The trial continues with more evidence expected.
