Both sides delivered their closing arguments Wednesday.
The jury considered testimony over two days of trial, along with videos showing the victim fighting for his life and the moments leading up to the deadly encounter.
Prosecutors said Olvey, a Kennesaw State University graduate, was working as a valet during Labor Day weekend 2023 when he caught King breaking into a truck outside Tongue and Groove nightclub in Buckhead.
Prosecutors showed video they said shows the moment Olvey confronted King. Prosecutors say King is then seen speeding away down Piedmont Road.
The medical examiner testified Olvey died from a gunshot wound to the chest
Jurors watched dash camera video, and Atlanta Police Sgt. Al Hogan, the lead detective, testified that King acted alone and fired the fatal shot.
The defense pressed Hogan, pointing out no gun is visible in the video. They also pointed to testimony that Olvey reported seeing “two Black dudes,” arguing King was present but did not fire the shot as part of the closing argument.
