James Arthur Holder is on trial for the murder of David Bridgwater - who was shot in Aranui after a night partying, last January.
Holder admits shooting Bridgwater, but claims it was self-defence.
Open Justice reports his partner, Leanne Crighton, and another woman tried to pull down a street-facing security camera immediately after the shooting.
She then tried to cancel the camera's subscription and deleted the app from her phone - Crighton has already pleaded guilty to related charges.
The trial continues today.
