Syllabus

Motion to suppress; investigatory traffic stop; reasonable suspicion that vehicle was used in murder; ineffective assistance of counsel; failure to object. Denial of multiple motions to suppress affirmed. Surveillance camera footage and eyewitness testimony established that a vehicle was used in a fatal shooting. A subsequent investigatory stop of the vehicle was justified under the Fourth Amendment because the police had reasonable suspicion that the vehicle was involved in a completed felony. Counsel was not ineffective for failing to object to the admission of evidence that the court previously ruled was admissible after a suppression hearing. There is no need to re-object to evidence admitted after a ruled-upon suppression motion.
