L.A. Sheriff Robert Luna said Monterey Park Police found a motorcycle just one block away from the crime scene that was registered to Huu Can Tran.
MONTEREY PARK, Calif. --
Luna said that weapon was not registered in the state of California and said Tran purchased it in Monterey Park in 1999. Two other weapons, one used by Tran to take his own life and another that was found in his home in Hemet, were registered. "Homicide investigators determined that the motorcycle was parked there sometime on Saturday, just prior to the mass murder," said Luna.Investigators believe it was placed there by the suspect as an alternative getaway vehicle.
"The suspect was not married," said Luna in response to reports that Tran may have been targeting his wife. "We have not been able to tie him in, romantically, to any of victims so far."
