DNA test links Black man shot dead by Pasadena police to gun he allegedly tossed
A forensic examination found DNA evidence from a Black man shot to death by Pasadena police in August on a handgun that authorities say he tossed while running away, according to a lab report from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
“The lab’s DNA analysis report identified only one person’s DNA located on the slide of the firearm and firmly establishes the link between the DNA, the firearm and Mr. McClain,” a Pasadena police statement said.According to the report, which was reviewed by The Times, testing also showed McClain’s DNA on the grip of the gun, along with the DNA of two other, unidentified people. The tests compared biological evidence found on the weapon with McClain’s DNA, which was sampled by the L.A.
“DNA evidence along with the officer’s statements, the recorded statement of a witness who saw Mr. McClain throw the firearm and the video evidence all point to the incident unfolding as initially described by the Police Department,” the police statement said.
