Man faces manslaughter trial over racial slur dispute
In Cedar Rapids the trial of Shane Teslik, 38, for voluntary manslaughter opened with prosecutors alleging he used a racial epithet to provoke 29 year old Devonna Walker before stabbing her with a butcher knife. Walker, a mother of three, died from a single chest wound after an escalating confrontation at their apartment complex. Teslik’s defense seeks to show provocation by Walker and prior incidents involving Teslik, his girlfriend Jessie Chavez, and Walker. The case continues with Chavez expected to testify and is anticipated to run into next week.
