ST. JOHN PARISH, La. – A material witness in the fatal shooting of two St. John deputies last summer provided shocking detail as to what happened that day in testimony that was being recorded out of “abundance of caution.”
Judge J. Sterling Snowdy said the route they had chosen in regard to the video testimony was precautionary, and that “we certainly hope Ms. (Teniecha) Bright will be here to testify for trial.”
[…]
Bright started by saying she came to know the suspects – Terry Smith, Brian Smith and Kyle Joekel – by hitching a ride to work with them.
[…]
“There was a lot going on,” she said. “We heard sirens. They turned off the lights and then turned them on and then told everyone, ‘Be quiet. Be quiet.’ ”
When officers knocked on the door, Smith and Joekel went to talk to them, she said.
Bright told Snowdy she then heard people screaming, “Help! Help!” before someone shouted, “Brian, kill them all.”
At that point, Bright testified that she was hiding in the bathroom and Brian Smith went to the door.
“You hear the door opening and then a lot of shots,” Bright said. “It was over in 30 seconds. Everything went really quiet.”
[…]
“I decided to take my chance to leave,” Bright said. “I saw a guy in a dark suit, like a cop, on the ground.”
As she left the trailer park, Bright said she saw a white SUV with a police [logo] on it. The officers there helped her out, she said.
Bright told Stowdy that she left the suspects because she “wasn’t family. They could easily have disposed of me.”

These charges deal only with the earlier shooting of Deputy Michael Boyington outside a Valero parking lot.
