Ms McKee, 29, died after being struck in the head by a bullet as she stood close to police vehicles while observing rioting in the Creggan area of Londonderry on April 18 2019.
Peter Cavanagh, 35, Jordan Gareth Devine, 23, and Paul McIntyre, 56, all of Derry, are charged with her murder.
He said the prosecution would contend that the three men accused of murder had accompanied a lone gunman on the night.'The gunman was accompanied to the firing point by a number of men who intentionally, we say, encouraged or assisted him,' he said. Yates and the crew had left the riot scene shortly before the shots were fired on the night Ms McKee was killed, the court heard.
The footage included a clip of Yates being introduced to a number of individuals inside Saoradh's offices in the city. Mr McDowell said the group inside the building included Paul McIntyre and Jordan Devine.
