NORFOLK, Va. — Tears filled a Norfolk courtroom Monday as the trial began for Cameron Brown, the man accused of killing Norfolk State University student Jahari George in 2023.

Family members of the 20-year-old student held hands and wept as prosecutors replayed the moments that changed their lives forever. Police-worn body camera footage showed the chaos after the shooting, with officers rushing to help as friends screamed for help inside a parked car.

Prosecutors told the jury the shooting happened on Sept. 2, 2023, near Gate House Road and Majestic Avenue, just across from Spartan Suites—off campus from Norfolk State University. They said George and three friends, including his girlfriend, were sitting in a parked car after the NSU–Virginia State football game when someone opened fire.
