Training and Experience

I know from my training an experience that people involved in violent crimes often utilize areas

of their home, vehicl , he bus· ess areas, school lockers, bedrooms, curtilage or any other

place suitable fo the plannin o their criminal activities and therefore, evidence may be found

in any of hes 4: catio .

I know fro m trainin and experience fingerprint evidence and D A evidence can al l be

analyzed by trained forensic scientists of the Oregon State Police Forensic Laboratory and used

to tie a suspect to a particular crime. I know that firearms, live ammunition, bullet fragments and


shell casings as well as firearm related equipment can be examined to deten m th.e·

criminal event. Such items are of evidentiary value in the prosecution of the crimes o

Aggravated Murder, Murder, Attempted Aggravated Murder, Attempt d ur er, ;1.ssault I and

Unlawful Use of a Firearm.

I know that during the execution of search warrants, items of identi catibn uch as rental papers,

utility bills, financial papers, and other items containing the am o rsons present and living

at a residence may be found.

Based on my training and experience I know that residences may contain medical records of the

suspect, prescription medication, mental

containing information about the mental d physical health of the suspect. Such items are of

evidentiary value in establishing a prior men al health history, use of required medication and

could show evidence of the mental ca acity o the su pect at the time of the crime.

I know that oftentimes suspects p journals or notes of their thoughts along with plans and

interactions with others. This type of documentation may be kept in written journal form on

paper or electronically on the hard drive of a computer, tablet, cellular telephone, digital camera

or related electronic storage d ices.

e examined by trained technicians of the Gresham Police

Departmen or oth r q lifi ed persons to recover said evidence in a controlled an efficient

manner. uch vidence is useful in the prosecution of the crimes of Aggravated Murder,

Murder, Atte te Aggravated Murder, Attempted Murder, Assault I, and Unlawful Use of a

Weapon.


I know that persons who possess firearms will often have multiple firearms. Tho e ir s and

related equipment will often be stored by people in their homes and vehicle .

I know that persons who possess computers, tablets, cellular teleph nes digi cameras and

related storage devices will store those items in their homes and vehi les.

VI.

Conclusion

Bas d on the above information I have probable cause befi e the following crimes have

occurred and evidence of Aggravated Murder (0 .. S. 63. 95), Murder (O.R.S. 163.115),

Attempted Aggravated Murder (O.R.S. 163.095), urder (0.R.S. 163.115), Assault I

Trainin" and Experience

I know from my training and experience that people involved in violent crimes often utilize areas

of their home, vehicles sh bus· ess areas, school lockers, bedrooms, curtilage or any other

place suitable for the of their criminal activities and therefore, evidence may be found

I kno from nzy tr in'ng and experience fingerprint evidence and DNA evidence can all be

analyzed by tr · ed fi rens1c scientists of the Oregon State Police Forensic Laboratory and used

to tie a suspect to a particular crime. I know that firearms live ammunition bullet fragments and

shell casings as well as firearm related equipment can be examined to determine their use in a


criminal event. Such items are of evidentiary value in the prosecution of the crime of

Aggravated Murder, Murder, Attempted Aggravated Murder, Attempted Mur

Unlawful Use of a Firearm.

• I know that during the execution of search warrants, items of identifica ion such as rental papers,

utility bills, financial papers, and other items containing the names f ersons present and living

at a residence may be found.

Based on my training and experience I know that residence may c ntain medical records of the

suspect, prescription medication, mental health or treatment records or other documents

containing information about the mental and p ysical ea.Ith o the suspect. Such items are of

evidentiary value in establishing a prior m tal hea th hi to , use of required medication and

could show evidence of the mental capacit o the suspect at the time of the crime.

I know that oftentimes suspects keep j ournals or notes of their thoughts along with plans and

interactions with others. This type- of tlocumentation may be kept in written journal form on

paper or electronically on the hard drive f a computer, tablet, cellular telephone, digital camera

or related electronic storag d vices.

I know that persons who possess firearms will often have multiple firearms. Those firearms and


related equipment will often be stored by people in their homes and vehicles.

I know that persons who possess computers, tablets, cellular telephones, dig" al c eras and

related storage devices will store those items in their homes and vehic

VI.
