Tony Martez Dennis already had been shot once while he was in Ripley Park on May 17 when he heard his best friend urge the gunman to shoot Dennis again, this time in the head, a prosecutor acknowledged in court on Wednesday.
The remark surfaced during a hearing in Shawnee County District Court to determine whether three defendants in the shooting of Dennis should have separate preliminary hearings or a joint preliminary hearing tied to their charges of attempted murder.
