'You're going to kill him!'

Waylon Jackson was stabbed and killed on March 11, 2016.

“Stop, you’re going to hurt him, you’re going to kill him!” Naomi Foureyes screamed at her common-law spouse as he beat Chad Alphonse with a chair.

Moments later, Foureyes says Alphonse stabbed the father of her five-week-old child in front of her, as she held their baby against her chest.

Noami took the stand at Alphonse's second-degree murder trial, Wednesday, painting a picture of a drunken evening that turned violent.

Naomi's sister, Phillisede Foureyes, and Alphonse, along with Tyson Barry and Kelsey Watts, were at Naomi's and Waylon Jackson's Gerstmar Road home on March 11, 2016, to decorate for Naomi's baby shower the following day. Naomi says everyone except her was getting drunk, while she cared for her infant daughter and four-year-old son.

As drinks continued to flow, Naomi said Alphonse was teasing the other men, Barry and Jackson, and it was getting on their nerves. She said Barry and Watts actually left early, due to Alphonse's behaviour.

“Chad kept testing Waylon, getting in his face, jumping on him, pushing his face, pushing him,” Naomi told police after the stabbing.

As Jackson began losing his temper, Naomi told him to calm down several times.

“I know that he doesn't lose his temper fast. He's a patient person,” Naomi testified.

After Jackson and Naomi went to bed, they heard Phillisede and Alphonse arguing, and Jackson went back downstairs.

Shortly after, Naomi came downstairs with her baby and saw Jackson on top of Alphonse, punching him, before getting up and hitting him with a chair.

Naomi was screaming at Jackson, telling him to stop, before Jackson got off Alphonse and walked toward Naomi and his daughter.

“He took a few steps towards me, and he was trying to say something,” Naomi testified.

But Jackson never got the words out, as she says Alphonse stabbed Jackson three times. One of the stab wounds pierced Jackson's lung and heart, killing him.

Alphonse's defence counsel, Terry La Liberte, pointed to Jackson's black knife on the counter behind Naomi, and suggested Jackson may have been going for his knife. Naomi said she believes Jackson was coming towards her, not the knife, because he was looking at her.

Through tears, Naomi says the death has caused a rift in her family, and she doesn't speak with her sister anymore, who's still dating Alphonse.

The trial is scheduled to continue through March 23.
