RANCHO CUCAMONGA -- The prosecution called only one witness to testify today in the murder trial of two men accused in the slaying of a prostitute at an Ontario hotel.
Ontario police Officer Melissa Ramirez described the scene in Kimberly Michelle Sum's room at the Hotel Indigo, where Sum's body was discovered the day after she was shot on Dec. 19, 2008.
Sum's former pimp, 31-year-old Larry Darnell Shyne of Pomona, is accused of conspiring to rob the 41-year-old, and enlisting his cousin, Donald Ray Walker, and his cousin's gang associate, Matthew James McClane, to carry out the robbery.
During the robbery, McClane, 28, shot Sum once in the chest, killing her, according to prosecutors.
McClane and Shyne are currently on trial in West Valley Superior Court, where testimony in the case is set to resume Wednesday morning.
Walker pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in 2009 as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors that carries a 17-year prison sentence and requires him to testify against Shyne and McClane.
