Appellant Kareem K. Young was convicted of felony murder and other offenses in connection with the death of Arkeem Lavan Young.1 He appeals, asserting, inter alia, the prosecution withheld exculpatory evidence in violation of Brady v. Maryland , 373 U. S. 83 83 SC 1194, 10 LE2d 215 1963. Finding no error, we affirm. 1. Viewing the evidence in a light to uphold the verdict, we find the following: Appellant and a cousin, Arkeem Young, were standing in the driveway of their home around midnight. Arkeem was using a cell phone when appellant shot him in the head, picked up the cell phone, and dialed 911. Officer Nollinger was just six houses away when the 911 call was made and he arrived quickly at the scene. Arkeem was lying on the ground with one leg folded underneath him. His eyes were wide open, but he was dead.

Appellant told police his name was “Hakeem” —and he spelled it. He said he was standing with his cousin in the driveway; that they turned to walk toward the house; that a shot rang out as a black truck rode past the house; and that he ran and hid behind a garbage can. Officer Nollinger did not see a truck in the neighborhood. Appellant’s next door neighbor heard the shot, but he did not hear the sound of a passing truck.
