The Houston courtroom in the Third Ward district is currently hosting a widely publicized trial involving rapper OMB Bloodbath, born Josh Stevens, who stands accused in connection with a deadly shooting that took place in 2017. Prosecutors have presented a detailed sequence of events during opening arguments, outlining how the shooting allegedly occurred and the evidence purportedly tying Stevens to the scene. Key witnesses, including individuals present before and after the incident, are expected to provide testimony that could clarify the circumstances surrounding the fatal event.

Meanwhile, the defense team contends that the prosecution’s case relies heavily on circumstantial evidence and points out inconsistencies in witness statements. The trial will feature:

• Expert ballistics testimony analyzing shell casings and firearms
• Examination of surveillance videos from nearby businesses
• Character witnesses discussing Stevens’ background and reputation
