In a recent court session, Ethan, a clerk at a convenience store, provided detailed testimony regarding a robbery incident that occurred on June 19, 2022. During the proceedings, video footage from the store was presented, allowing Ethan to identify the defendant, who was seen entering the store wearing a black shirt emblazoned with \"MK\" and a Houston Astros hat.

Ethan recounted the events leading up to the robbery, noting that the defendant initially engaged in casual conversation about speakers he claimed to have accidentally taken the night before. However, the tone shifted dramatically when the defendant threatened Ethan, demanding he open the cash register or face dire consequences, stating, \"there is going to be a killing.\" Ethan testified that he perceived this threat as legitimate, especially as the defendant reached towards his back pocket, suggesting he might be armed.

Under duress, Ethan complied and opened the register, after which the defendant took cash and ordered him to the ground before fleeing the scene. Ethan described feeling terrified during the encounter and sought refuge in a secure area of the store to call 911 once the defendant left.

The court proceedings highlighted the seriousness of the incident, with Ethan expressing that he had never experienced anything like it before and was left shaken by the encounter. The testimony and video evidence are critical components of the ongoing legal proceedings against the defendant, who is facing charges related to the robbery.
