On July 17, the day of Shanitia’s disappearance, Tomeka testified that Adrian called her and asked her to pretend to be Shanitia and text and call the man Adrian thought Shanitia was having an affair with.
Jurors heard from the man, Carlos Myers, who denied having a sexual relationship with Shanitia. He said they were “very good friends.”

Jurors also heard from Shanitia’s sister Deidre Eure. She testified on the day of Shanitia’s disappearance she saw Adrian covered in sweat next to a dumpster.
Police later pulled out shoes and a purse belonging to Shanitia, a shovel, a moving tarp, and some mail from that dumpster, according to the prosecution.
One of Adrian and Shanitia’s sons also testified Wednesday. He said he helped his dad pack a bag for Jamaica. He also said his father told him that his mother was cheating.
