Text: The police searched defendant's apartment in Fresno with his consent and seized Lozano's gun. Lozano said she had been away from the apartment between August 18 and midnight on August 20, and that she did not have the gun with her during that time. Two or three hours before she returned on the night of August 20 she had a telephone conversation with defendant in which he told her that he had had a hassle with two men and had had to pull a gun. Police experts determined that a bullet fragment removed from Hatcher's brain had been fired from Lozano's gun. The same was true of a bullet recovered from the wall of the house to which Donner fled from his attacker. Paint on Donner's car from the collision matched defendant's truck, and tire tracks at the site of the assaults and near Booher's and Hatcher's bodies were consistent with the truck's tires. Donner recalled the license number on his assailant's truck as 30079N or 30779N. Defendant's truck license number was 30997N. Shoe prints near both bodies matched prints in defendant's garage, although police found no shoes in defendant's possession which could have made the prints.
