COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - Testimony continues Wednesday in the trial of a man accused of murdering a mother of four in a Columbia bakery in 2013.

Troy Stevenson is accused of murder and other charges in the shooting death of Kelly Hunnewell while she worked at a Columbia bakery in 2013.

About one-dozen witnesses have been called so far by state prosecutors including the owner of the Carolina Cafe bakery where Hunnewell was working overnight when she was killed. The owner testified that Hunnewell had just started her shift when the murder happened.

Other witnesses include a SLED agent, Columbia police officers and phone company record holders. They talked about evidence collected from Stevenson's co defendants and cell phone videos made days before the murder.

Several forensics experts testified about testing evidence for gunshot residue, identifying firearms possibly used and pulling finger prints. Also, a couple of Columbia Police investigators talked about what happened when they questioned Troy Stevenson and his brother, Trenton Barnes.

Stevenson is facing murder, attempted armed robbery, burglary and kidnapping. He is the last of three men charged with Hunnewell's murder to go to trial.

On Tuesday, Stevenson rejected a plea offer in the case.
