I, ______________, make the following statement(s), after having been advised of my rights. I give up my rights. I do not want a lawyer present at this time. I want to talk to the police. I am doing these things voluntarily and without threats or promises by members of the Providence Police Department.
Q. We the Providence Police are investigating a shooting that took place outside Fidas Restaurant located at 270 Valley St. At approx. 0143 hr. On 012899. Can you tell me in your own words what you know about this incident?
A. Yes, I went to Fidas Restaurant with my girl Christa Calder, Brenda Ruiz and Juanita (Jenny)Vazquez. When we arrived at the restaurant Brenda and Jenny went into the restaurant and I stayed in the car with my girl Christa. There was a commotion going on in the restaurant between Brenda, Jenny and some other people in the restaurant. I got out of the car with Christa and I went to the front door of the restaurant to the little hallway and I was trying to pull Brenda out of the hallway but she kept trying to get at the other girl. They were both trying to get at each other they were yelling back and forth I had Brenda and someone else had the other girl. I pulled Brenda outside and then there was screaming outside between the girls and there were a few guys around and another girl there. Brenda got away from and started fighting with the girl and I grabbed her again and I was pulling her away and one of the other girls was holding two long silver things in her hands she was yelling "I can get weapons or something like that" and then I heard a loud bang on my car. I said "yo, who's throwing ---- at my car" the next thing I no I'm being pushed and I'm on top of my car, I got punched in the face. I got into the car and I was ready to pull off, the girls were all getting into the car because I wanted to get out of there. Then the cops pulled up behind me and they got out of the car and they had there guns out and they were yelling at me "get the ---- out of the car" "get on the ------- ground", I had both my hands out the drivers window and the door was open. I started to step out of my girls car and at this time a black guy came out of Fidas Restaurant at the same time as the cops are yelling for me to get on the ground this black guy is yelling something like "freeze or something, he was saying a few things but I couldn't make him out, I was paying more attention to the police officers, I thought the black guy was trying to kill me or something. The policemen were still yelling at me to get on the ground and at the same time they were yelling at the black guy to put his gun down. The black guy is not paying any attention to the cops he yelling at the top of his head but I couldn't hear what he's saying, because the cops are still yelling for me to get on the ground. As I started to go to the ground I heard a few shots and then I threw myself on the ground and was trying to get under the cop car so I wouldn't get shot. The cops put me in cuffs and then they put me into a police car and I was taken to the police station.

Q. When you saw the black guy with the gun come out of the restaurant did he already have the gun in his hand?

A. Six or seven times they told him quite a few times but he didn't seem to be paying any attention to the cops, I was just afraid that he was a friend of the guys who jumped me and that he was going to shoot me. I think the police thought the same thing because they kept telling him to "drop it" "drop it" over an over again.
