Francis Colegrove, son of Daniel "Johnson" Colegrove briefly testified before court adjourned this morning. He confirmed Roger Surber's version of events and described as he watched Rodney Ortiz shoot his father and then turn the gun on him.
He said that Rodney and Vincent did not knock, they weren't invited in, they just came into the trailer and that "Rodney came in first". There was an argument between Rodney Ortiz and Daniel Colegrove. He described their tones as "upset and angry" and that the tones became "violent, more aggressive" and "my father said let's go outside." During the argument, Francis Colegrove said his father told him "to get out of the way". This is when the argument took a more hostile and aggressive turn.
"Vincent's father had a revolver in his pocket," said Francis Colegrove. He took it out and "he shot at my father." He told DDA Jackie Pizzo that his father was "shot once in the right cheek area in his face."
Francis Colegrove was about three feet away as he watched his father being shot. He said then Rodney Ortiz "turned around and shot me on the right side of my head. I was knocked out unconscious in a fetal position, for a brief second, I came to conscious" and he said he jumped out an open window and went running directly down to the hill to a neighbor's house. "I was very afraid." He was bleeding from the top of his skull.
