Keyron Gibson gives alibi defense in murder trial: ‘I was in Ladyville at the time’

By BBN Staff: The murder trial of 29-year-old Keyron Gibson, who is charged with the 2014 murder of Tulio Caceres, continued today with Gibson’s alibi defense.

Gibson, represented by attorney Oscar Selgado, gave sworn testimony that he could not have committed the murder because he was in Ladyville fixing a bicycle the day Caceres was killed. He also called a cousin, as a witness to verify that he was in fact in Ladyville that day.

Despite cross examination by Senior Crown Counsel Sheneiza Smith, the witness maintained that the accused could not be in two places at once, hence he could not have killed Caceres.

The trial began on June 7. Since then the prosecution has presented its case against Gibson, calling seven witnesses including police constable Shamir Mai, who said he positively identified Gibson as the man that shot Caceres as much as 17 times at the corner of  North Front Street and Majestic Alley, before riding off on a bicycle.

The case continues tomorrow.
