A man who was shot in a car in Bilborough stumbled towards onlookers shouting "Help me I've been shot", a jury heard today.
Germaine Edwards, 28, collapsed in Fairnley Road at about 5pm on Saturday November 17 last year.
Today Damien Fogo, 32, who had been living in Hungerhill Road, St Anns, went on trial at Nottingham Crown Court accused of the murder of Mr Edwards, attempting to rob him and his friend and possessing a firearm.
All the offences are alleged to have happened on November 17.
Prosecution barrister Mr Barnes QC told the jury that Mr Edwards was "shot at close quarters in a Ford Fiesta car".
He said: "Mr Edwards managed to get out of the car, which sped off, but he collapsed on the pavement from a gunshot wound."
He said it was the Crown's case that Fogo was responsible for the shooting.
"Having driven off in the Ford Fiesta by himself, Mr Fogo, we say, set it on fire at a car park not far from the Trowell Services area."
The case continues.
