They say he admitted the backpack was his, but not the gun. Cruz said he only told them that his backpack and a duffel bag had been stolen out of his car. To this day, he said, he has no idea if the backpack found two months after the shooting was his. And he says he knows nothing about the gun. My hands do me just fine.
Investigators say markings on the bullet indicate it had once been loaded into the murder weapon.
Cruz says he has no idea how the bullet ended up in his room. Neither survivor could identify Cruz from a photo. Prosecutors say he shaved a scruffy beard and trimmed his long hair immediately after the shooting. Cruz says he had always worn his hair short. And he says he has an alibi - that people saw him working on his car.
