After Fullilove arrived home with Subway food, Banks told the group it was time for them to leave. Desire Williams said she and others began to argue.

That led to a series of fights, involving Hughes and his wife, outside the apartment. Hughes said he became involved after seeing a group of women fighting his wife.

Hughes testified he was blindsided when he was hit in the face, causing him to fall to his knees. When he looked up, he saw Fullilove holding a gun, and he reached for his own gun and began shooting at Fullilove.

Randall argued that Hughes’s story doesn’t match the 911 calls, and questioned why if Fullilove was the aggressor, did he not fire any shots at Hughes.

Randall told jurors it wasn’t self-defense, but rather revenge that was the motive for the shooting.

“He had to have the last word,” Randall said.

Williams testified Fullilove became involved in the fight after Hughes body-slammed her. She and Banks said Hughes began going to his car, then ran around and shot at Fullilove.
