Autopsies Link Bullets Used in 2 Killings
Bullets removed from the brains of two shooting victims dumped 2 1/2 miles apart in Mission Hills and Arleta are the same caliber and probably came from the same gun, reinforcing investigators’ beliefs that the killings are related, Los Angeles police said.
Autopsy results released Friday confirmed that Dawn McGrath, 21, of Mission Hills and Jamie Jensen, 13, of Canoga Park died of gunshot wounds to the head. Both were discovered shot and left for dead early Monday. The victims, who Lt. Bernard Conine said knew each other, died at Holy Cross Medical Center in Mission Hills.
