Sheniqua Cunningham, 23, told Brooklyn Supreme Court her version of the night when Dennzel Holder allegedly shot and killed Shawn Williams in Crown Heights.
Shawn Williams was shot dead in 2011, after his girlfriend got into a fight in Crown Heights.
The girlfriend of a Brooklyn man who died during a brawl that was sparked by a comment about hair weaves Wednesday gave her version of the pointless, ultimately fatal, scuffle.
The street brawl ended with her beau of three and a half years, Shawn Williams, 27, getting shot, allegedly by Dennzel Holder, 21, who is now on trial for murder.

“They were talking about a weave, my weave,” Sheniqua Cunningham, 23, said of a trio of teens who were walking right behind her on a Crown Heights street on August 2011. “I turned around and said, ‘Is there a problem?’”
Though other witnesses claimed the hair remark wasn’t directed at her, Cunningham said, “I figured they were talking about me…it made me upset.”

Things got heated from there, she testified in Brooklyn Supreme Court, after she exchanged insults with Shatasia Meggett who then “came into my personal space.”

Punches and bottles were subsequently thrown, Cunningham recalled in an obscenity-laden testimony.
Violence was reignited a little later and a few blocks away, the witness said.
“As we were fighting, I heard a gunshot,” Cunningham said. “I looked up and saw smoke in the air.”
She then noticed Holder — Meggett’s boyfriend — standing over a fallen Williams and firing twice more, she said.
She admitted that both her and her boyfriend were riled up and didn’t walk away from the altercation, even after their rivals moved on up the block.
When she saw that Meggett had summoned her boyfriend, she wondered why a man was brought to partake in a women’s fight, Cunningham said.
