Sergeant takes the stand in twins accused of murder trial

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - On Wednesday, the jury heard from Yuma Police Sergeant Nickolas Davis who recounted the night the crime took place.

The jury also heard police cam audio from the night of the arrests for the twins accused of murder.

Davis says there were a couple of women crying outside the home when he arrived.

When he entered the house he says he witnessed officers attempting life-saving measures on the victim, 15-year-old Cesar Aguilar.

"He was very young, you know small consistent with his age I guess, very pale, losing color very quickly, and then his eyes were open, didn't see any movement," Davis says.

The suspects in the case are 25-year-old David and Adrian Perez-Arzola. 

Davis eventually went out and spotted Adrian. 

The suspect initially denied his age and name, saying he was nervous because he had marijuana on him, but later confessed to who he really was.

"Sort of alert and afraid just very trembly, a lot of sort of that intense like stare I guess just looking at me," Davis said.

But Adrian's defense attorney, Aaron J. Reed, says that anyone would have been scared in that type of situation.

"He was trembling, and nervous, and terrified, that could have been because he was just shot at right?" Reed asked.

"I suppose anything's a possibility, that was not my impression," answered Davis.

Both suspects are charged with first-degree murder along with several other felonies. 

If found guilty of first-degree murder, the twins could face a maximum punishment of life without parole.

The trial is set to continue through July 17.
