MARYELISE DOYNE told a packed courtroom yesterday about the early-morning robbery attempt by two men on a Fishtown street that ended with her boyfriend of 2 1/2 years being shot dead on Nov. 13.
One man - later identified as Ryan McMunus of Kensington - had a gun, she said during a preliminary hearing, and the other pulled up his T-shirt to cover part of his face.
In court she identified the second man as Richard Smith, 19, of Fishtown.
Doyne said her boyfriend, Shane Kelly, 27, of Mayfair, argued with the robbers and told them, "If you're going to shoot me, shoot me."
She called police and stopped a passing female motorist at Thompson and Berks streets, and asked for help. McMunus, 20, ran off. The motorist's boyfriend, John Loftus, bolted from the car, and he and Kelly chased after him. On Hewson Street near Thompson, McMunus spun and fired at Kelly, hitting him, Loftus testified.
Loftus said he continued the chase until McMunus ran into a house on Belgrade Street, where his aunt lived.
McMunus was arrested that day; Smith was arrested Nov. 15. Municipal Judge Teresa Carr Deni held both for trial yesterday on murder and related counts.
