Lamarre-Condon is set to allege he entered the terrace disguised as an Uber Eats driver and carrying his police-issued firearm in February 2024 to retrieve his belongings.
He was then surprised by Mr Baird who did not recognise him with a motorcycle helmet on.
The pair physically struggled and Lamarre-Condon’s gun went off, killing the TV presenter, his barrister John Stratton SC has previously said.
The 31-year-old says Mr Davies then picked up the gun, fatally shooting himself.
Lamarre-Condon’s offer to plead guilty to the manslaughter of Mr Baird was rejected by prosecutors.
The trial continues.
