You are the sole eye witness to a mob hit. What do you do?

You're going to see your friend, Like always. You chill with him. Sit on the couch, have fun. Everything as usual, then you have to take a piss...
You hear someone kicking down the door of your friend's house. You open just a crack of the bathroom door to see what's going on. 10 feet away you ee a guy wearing gang colors and he stabs your friend multiple time and runs away. You call the cops, you freak out. Your friend is dead. You think about his mom and sisters, you panic, you cry etc. The most frustrating part of it all is, you don't know why he was killed, but there is no doubt he was the intended target
Then you describe the guy to the cops, they find him, they put him in a line up, you ID him no problem. Then you learn he's a high ranking member of a prominent gang that spreads out all over the country.
The thing is. The cops haen't found the murder weapon. They know without a doubt that he did it, but the only way he's gonna go to prison for the rest of his life is if your testify against him in court.
Of course, the second you testify, you become a target and you have to be sent to witness protection away from everybody you know to start another life. But of course, you can choose to stay where you are. You are a free man after all!
What do you do?

He's a mob member, I have no loyalty to him, so I would testify. I would probably go into witness protection. The people that are closest to you will often go into witness protection with you (immediate family) because they are also targets. I can make new friends, I will miss them of course, but I'm not going to let my friend's killer walk free due to cowardice. My .02

Well if you say he stabbed my friend in the scenario, then I would absolutely testify and go into witness protection.

Keep my mouth the fuck shut. If this is a serious actual mob situation, then it doesn't matter if that guy gets put away. Someone else will IMMEDIATELY take his place. He's probably not even the one who ordered it to happen. He's just the random joe they got to pull the trigger, and random joes willing to pull the trigger are a dime a dozen.
You won't affect the mob, you won't affect the guy who ordered the hit, and you won't even stop other people from being killed in the future. Testifying accomplishes absolutely nothing. Only by keeping your mouth the fuck shut can you actually do something, and the thing you're doing in that case is keeping yourself and your family safe.

seriously, if the government can't take down the mob without me they ain't doing there job. Besides I enjoy my life and if I keep my trap shit I get to keep on living it. Hell I might even get a kick back.
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Yep snitches get stitches. Then the entire mob knows who you are. No thanks I'll just mind my own fucking business.

If he killed my friend, I'd probably testify against him, not because he's in a mob, but because he killed my motherfucking friend.
But maybe instead become a vigilante and take him out myself, at least they won't know my secret identity.

Testify and invite them to attack me. My family is intimately aquinted with the higher ups of one of the most powerful gangs here. They would not win if they choose to go against me.

Ya because I'm sure you got the skill. Watching taken ain't gonna take it.

just a friend? i would probably let him walk.
i mean, you have to fuck up for a solid reason for someone to hire a killer. so they probably had it coming.
if it was part of my immediate family, i would testify, and once he was behind bars, murder as much of his family as possible
