Clothing inspection
On 10/28/10 Detective McGuire traveled to the Long Beach Police Department
evidence control building and retrieved Defendant Vargas’ clothes he was wearing
during the shooting.
Detective McGuire retrieved the clothing to inspect and photograph the shirt, t-shirt and
pants to see if there was a powder burn on the clothing from a self-inflicted gunshot.
Detective McGuire inspected the clothes and there was no signs of any powder burn to
any of the articles of clothing, however there was a small hole, possibly a bullet hole on
the left side of the shirt and corresponding area of the t-shirt.
Detective McGuire had Forensic Specialist C. Moncure photograph the shirt and t-shirt
to memorialize the condition of the articles of clothing. The pants were not
photographed at this time.
