Why It Matters

Her observation provides a specific nighttime window and sensory detail that could help establish the shooting timeline and corroborate forensic or electronic evidence linking the incident to the Nov. 10 timeframe.

Summary

A longtime neighbor testified that on the evening of Nov. 10, 2023, she heard what she believed were gunshots from her home next door to Karen and Devito, describing three to four rapid "boom boom booms," a pause and a final shot—four to five sounds in total—between roughly 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. She said the noise produced a physical vibration she noticed while watching TV and later alerted police when she saw the house taped off on Nov. 13. The witness identified the adjacent residence and its vehicles and described a close, friendly relationship with the occupants. Her account was given during courtroom testimony after investigators interviewed neighbors following the discovery of the bodies.

Original Description

Angkoreacheany Yoeun, a neighbor of Karen and Davido Burke, testified that she heard gunshots before the couple’s bodies were found. Yoeun told the court she heard three to four gunshots, a pause, and then a final shot while inside her home. Timothy Burke is on trial, accused of murdering the couple—his landlords—and dumping their bodies in a culvert.
