While Remy Ma's lawyer argued that the shooting she's charged with was an accident, a witness testified yesterday (Mar. 11) that he saw Remy with a gun.

Makeda Barnes-Joseph was shot last July outside in New York City after attending a party that Rem had also attended. The incident was allegedly sparked when Remy discovered $2,000 missing from her purse and accused the victim of stealing the money.

As proceedings began yesterday, Rem's defense attorney Ivan Fisher said the shooting wasn't intentional and that the gun had gone off during a struggle for the fire arm between his client and Barnes-Joseph.

But a student took the stand later and said that's not what he saw.

Oluwole Ajudun, 21, testified that early on July 14, 2007, after a party in Greenwich Village, he saw Remy get out of her Cadillac Escalade with a "silver chrome" gun.

"I saw her cock it back and jump in Makeda's car," he said.

Just moments later, he heard a pop and saw Remy leave Barnes-Joseph's car.

Another witness, Crystal Ricks, testified that she saw Remy get in the car, she heard a pop and she saw Remy get out of the car, but Ricks never saw a gun.

Free on $250,000 bail, Remy could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

Stay tuned to as the trial develops.
