“He wasn’t threatening nobody,” Carrillo said of Brown, referring to the confrontation with Cobb that led to Brown’s shooting death. “He didn’t seem angry at all.”

Carrillo, Brown and a 16-year-old runaway named Jennifer Ingles had arrived together at the car wash in Carrillo’s car that morning after being out all night together.

The defense rested its case after Carrillo’s testimony.

In closing arguments later Thursday, Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Melissa Hoy argued that Brown’s actions did not represent an imminent threat of death or injury to Cobb, and said the officer likely would have defused the encounter by employing the crisis-incident training that he teaches to other Richmond officers.

Brown did not make any overt threats to Cobb during their 4½-minute confrontation, Hoy said, even when the officer pointed his gun at the teen and yelled commands for him to get out if the car. Brown did try to close the car door that Cobb opened, but the teen was high on marijuana and he likely wanted to avoid a confrontation, the prosecutor suggested.

When Cobb loudly announced he was a police officer, Hoy said, Brown leaned back away from Cobb and said, “I don’t f--- with cops” — as if he didn’t want trouble.
