Dave Caldwell/MDN --
Charles Price testified Wednesday in Northwest District Court in Minot. Price said he saw Antonio Stridiron with a gun the night Joshua Velasquez was slain, but that he also saw the witness who testified he saw Stridiron shoot Velasquez was also fighting the victim.
A witness put on the stand Wednesday by prosecutors testified that the man who claims to have witnessed Antonio Stridiron shoot Joshua Velasquez was also fighting with the victim as a group of people went into the alley where Velasquez was slain. He also testified, however, that Stridiron had a gun that night and was fighting Velasquez as well. Stridiron is on trial for murder in the case. Another man, Bradley Davis, has been charged with aggravated assault in a separate but related case being tried in front of the same jury. Davis stands accused of striking Velasquez with a gardening tool during the fight that immediately preceded the shooting. Charles Price of Minot was called to the stand by Ward County State’s Attorney John Van Grinsven because Price was at the party where the incidents occurred. Price gained notoriety earlier this year when he was convicted on federal charges as part of a “mail fishing scheme.
