A Brisbane man who repeatedly shot two people had earlier claimed there was "word" there would be "$500 for every bullet" which hit one of them, a jury has heard.
Brendyn Clark is on trial in the Supreme Court for the attempted murder of Adrian Hing in June 2019.
Mr Clark pleaded not guilty but has admitted to shooting Mr Hing, as well as Clarice Warren, outside his Sunnybank Hills home.
Crown prosecutor David Finch told a jury "the central and the only issue" for them to consider is whether Mr Clark intended to kill Mr Hing when he opened fire on the pair.
"It's the crown case … that he did," he said.
"He had in fact had an intention to bring about Mr Hing's death."
'Complicated' relationships
The jury heard Mr Clark, Mr Hing and Ms Warren were all known to each other, but their relationships were "somewhat complicated", and all three were drug users.
On the day before the shooting, the jury was shown a series of text messages which Mr Clark had conceded he had sent to several people, including Ms Warren.
The messages included references to another woman the pair knew, who had been upset with the recent romantic relationship between Ms Warren and Mr Hing.
Mr Clark told Ms Warren in the messages, "[the woman] loved [Mr Hing] you have f****d everyone and it's time to take it".
In other messages to unknown people, Mr Clark said Ms Warren was a "dirty s***t" and "there is a price out to shoot her".
"$500 for every bullet she gets hit with is the word," another message said.
The jury also heard Mr Clark said in another message, on the same night he had gone to Mr Hing's home and damaged a bike, leaving only half of its frame.
Ms Warren was the first witness to give evidence and told the jury the next morning, Mr Hing and Ms Warren walked to Mr Clark's home to try to find the rest of the bike.
Shot in the foot
She told the jury when she arrived she saw Mr Clark on his front porch then "heard a bang" before looking down and realising her foot had been shot.
"I just went into complete shock and just started screaming," she said.
"I think [Mr Hing] turned around and told me to run."
The jury heard Ms Warren was shot in the leg and the foot, while Mr Hing suffered five gunshot wounds, leaving him with life threatening injuries.
Ms Warren told the jury the injured pair ran to a nearby bus stop, where Mr Clark followed and pointed his gun toward Mr Hing, but when he pulled the trigger it just "clicked".
"I heard the shot fired but the bullet didn't come through," she said.
The jury heard after Mr Clark retreated, he later asked his friend Mark Duce to drive him to central Queensland, but the pair only travelled as far as Maryborough.
Mr Duce is also on trial with Mr Clark, and has pleaded not guilty to being an accessory after the fact in relation to the shooting of both Mr Hing and Ms Warren.
The trial, which is set down for six days, continues before Justice Lincoln Crowley.
