Khakhu faces 18 charges, ranging from murder to attempted murder and illegal possession of a firearm.

   

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
    

One of the charges Khakhu faces is for allegedly shooting Alton Mooi dead on the night of June 17, 2013.
    

Former police officer Ronald Williams told the court on Thursday that on that night he saw a young man running past him with a gun in his hand, after hearing gun shots. 
   

Luke was shot in August last year while sitting on his mother's lap in a car, when Khakhu allegedly shot at another car whose occupant, Keenan Mokwena, he was allegedly aiming at. 
   

Luke was placed on life support, but died in hospital six days later.
