When she took the stand at a London courthouse on Thursday, 21-year-old Kaiah Edmonds testified that on July 30, 2021, she arrived at the bush party off of Pack Road in southwest London in a vehicle driven by one of the accused - Carlos Guerra Guerra.

She told the jury that after driving for about 30 minutes from east London, she noticed weapons seeing, “a sword between the seats, Carlos had a gun in his car."

When they arrived at the party, Edmonds saw the other co-accused, Emily Altmann, and said, "I could tell by the way she [Emily] was acting she was upset – like, crying and I could tell she was tipsy, like drunk."

Edmonds said she saw a lot of young people in the wooded area, and that Guerra Guerra put a ski mask on saying, “People are yelling… Carlos is yelling.”

She testified that Altmann and Guerra Guerra were looking for some of the partygoers and when some emerged, they were confronted “I just remember hearing a bunch of commotion and then there's a pop or a bang and I just remember hearing ‘go,’ and we ran."

Edmonds said that once she heard, “go, go, go,” they left the area quickly and Guerra Guerra dropped her off.
