Seconds before an African American teenager was fatally struck by a Jeep, chilling surveillance video shows him sprinting away from the white driver accused of killing him.

During a Monday court hearing, a prosecutor played the video taken from cameras at a Gresham 7-Eleven just before midnight on Aug. 10. Prosecutor David Hannon argued that the passenger of the Jeep -- 35-year-old Colleen Catherine Hunt -- should remain in jail pending the outcome of a murder trial.

Hunt is accused of encouraging her boyfriend, 38-year-old Russell Orlando Courtier, of driving the Jeep into Larnell Bruce Jr., 19, after the two men scuffled outside the convenience store.

Hannon told a Multnomah County Circuit Court judge that three eyewitnesses said they heard Hunt shout at her boyfriend to "Run him over!" in the seconds before Courtier allegedly did just that.

Hannon said those witness statements and the video are clear evidence that Hunt is responsible for "aiding and abetting" Courtier in committing murder. In addition to murder, both Hunt and Courtier also have been charged with first- and second-degree intimidation -- which are hate crimes -- for allegedly using Bruce's race as a motivating factor.

Both Hunt and Courier have pleaded not guilty.

Hunt and Courtier have white supremacist ties, police have said.

Members of Bruce's family and supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement filled the rows of the sixth-floor courtroom. They gasped and murmured as the video was shown for the first time in public.

Hunt had called for the hearing, asking Judge Jerry Hodson to allow her release from jail pending an August 2017 trial. But the judge found that the "presumption is strong" that Hunt was an accomplice to murder.

Hunt will remain locked up. Courtier also will remain locked up: He decided not to ask the judge for his release pending trial.

Gresham police Detective Aaron Turnage testified that Courtier was "accelerating rapidly" as he chased Bruce and was so determined to strike Bruce with the SUV that he drove into oncoming lanes of traffic and up onto a sidewalk.

The prosecutor showed photos of the aftermath: Bruce sprawled unconscious on the pavement, with blood trickling from his ears, mouth and nose.

Turnage testified that Bruce suffered "an unsurvivable traumatic brain injury" and died three days later on Aug. 13.

Turnage said the confrontation unfolded as Bruce was standing outside the 7-Eleven near 188th and Burnside Street. Courtier and Hunt -- who were strangers to Bruce -- arrived.

For reasons that are unclear, Courtier and Bruce got into a fist fight, police said.

Witnesses said Bruce appeared to have the upper hand in the fight -- and that became especially clear after Bruce slammed Courtier into a store window, breaking it, the detective said.

Courtier then retrieved an aerosol can from the Jeep that he had parked nearby, and Bruce pulled out a machete, according to witness accounts. From what's shown on the video, it appears that Courtier didn't use the aerosol can, and Bruce didn't use the knife.

Bruce walked away and Courtier got in the Jeep and followed, according to the three witnesses and the surveillance video.

The detective told the judge that the witnesses heard Hunt -- who was sitting in the passenger seat -- exclaim "Run him over!" The Jeep drove off as Bruce lay on the ground, but the SUV was stopped by police minutes later several miles away, Turnage said.

Turnage found the three witness statements to be consistent with the surveillance video, he said. The video shows images but didn't record sound.

He testified that Hunt also admitted to saying "Get him, baby!" when her boyfriend scuffled with Bruce.

The detective said he had "a hard time wrapping my mind around" one of the versions of events that Hunt offered police.

Hunt claimed, he said, that Bruce was able to run alongside the Jeep and even pass the passenger compartment as he slashed at it with his machete in a kung fu-style move. Hunt also claimed that Courtier was trying to avoid striking Bruce when Bruce ran into the SUV, he said.

Hunt's statements contradicted those of her boyfriend, Turnage said. Courtier himself admitted to intentionally running the Jeep into Bruce, he said.

Defense attorney Jon Sarre told the judge that Hunt wasn't trying to "minimize her own involvement." Rather, Sarre said that when Hunt spoke to police, she was only trying to protect her boyfriend.

Hunt was just in the Jeep -- and she wouldn't have been able to stop Courtier unless she had been able to reason with him or force the stick shift into a neutral gear, the attorney said.

Sarre contended that the three key state witnesses are biased because they were friends of Bruce's. Sarre also noted that they have criminal histories that include heroin possession, methamphetamine possession and theft.

When the judge announced his ruling, Hunt showed no visible emotion. Bruce's family and supporters broke into applause. Outside the courtroom, they hugged each other.
