Last minute witness steps up in Sean Bell shooting...

...but is he credible? From NYdailynews.com:

"A surprise last-minute mystery witness threw a Queens grand jury investigating the police shooting of Sean Bell into tumult, just hours after it began deliberating yesterday.
The Spanish-speaking man walked into the 115th Precinct stationhouse in Queens yesterday and said he saw the much-rumored "fourth man" - a man with a gun running away from the scene.

"He came forward on his own," said Detectives' Endowment Association President Michael Palladino. "He said he heard the clash of the car. He looks up and sees a male black fire one shot, maybe two, and run from the scene, possibly running into a building."

Suspicious? Absolutely. With the NYPDs reputation for racism and police brutality, this 'mystery witness' sounds very fishy. But my co-worker brings up an interesting point. Let's say for the moment that there was a 'fourth man' who was shooting at the cops--where's the shell casings? Did he shoot at the cops, and in the middle of returning fire pick them up and run away?
