CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) — The trial for Timothy “True” Hutcherson, who is accused of second-degree murder, got underway Monday at the Montgomery County Courthouse.

Hutcherson is being tried for the 2017 shooting death of 21-year-old Devonte Wilkerson, and two counts of attempted murder for opening fire on an apartment on Beech Street.

The apartment was host to a birthday party, and a teenage girl in attendance suffered gunshot wounds in her leg. According to the indictment documents, the host of the party feared for her life, which resulted in another charge.

While Monday’s hearing was mostly focused on selecting the jury, new details about the initial incident came to light.

Here are five things you should know about this case, which is set to unfold over the next few days.

1. Hutcherson is being tried on eight counts

For the shooting on Beech Street, Hutcherson is charged with one count of second-degree murder, followed by two counts of attempted second-degree murder, two counts of possessing a firearm with intent while committing a felony, and two counts of aggravated assault.

Hutcherson is also being tried on reckless endangerment for discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling, and he has pleaded not guilty to all counts.

2. State alleges Hutcherson was part of a gang

Lee Willoughby, the prosecutor on behalf of the state, alleged that Hutcherson was part of a gang. The apartment party where the shooting took place was attended by members of Hutcherson’s rival gang, Willoughby said.

As Hutcherson showed up to the party, he got out of the car with a gun in-hand, according to Willoughby. He was allegedly greeted by the party host, and then walked to the door, where he began firing into the apartment.

3. Seven rounds were fired

There were seven rounds that were fired, and the fatal wound that killed Wilkerson stemmed from a bullet in his right buttocks, the investigation found. Several of those shots ricocheted into the leg of a teenage girl who was also at the party. The prosecution believes the shell casings recovered at the scene support this story.

4. The defense is not refuting the shooting 

The argument put forth by the defense relied heavily on the reasoning behind the shooting.

Since Hutcherson was allegedly shooting through a metal door into the apartment where, according to the state, 10 to 20 people were gathered, the defense is trying to claim that Hutcherson therefore had no intent to kill.

“He might be guilty of reckless homicide,” Hutcherson’s attorney Jacob Fendley said. The prosecution then asked why, then, Hutcherson fired seven bullets, if that was in fact the case.

5. Hutcherson’s justification 

During Hutcherson’s interrogation, he told detectives two different stories. First, he told detectives that someone began firing after he arrived from a different location, and he believed that person was associated with the rival gang.

Then Hutcherson told a different story, telling detectives he thought he saw a member of the rival gang in the doorway of the apartment with a gun, and that’s why he began firing.

However, the prosecution rebutted this story Hutcherson, calling it the “Hoover Grassy Knoll Story,” with the “Hoover” being the name of the rival gang.
