Kien found (1) round of .32 caliber ammunition and the vehicle title to the 2002 Chevrolet CA# in Victor's name in Victor's bedroom. Detective Liggett retained the above mentioned items and later packaged them and placed them into evidence. Deputy Probation Officer E. Guzman was present during the probation compliance check, and he ultimately authorized a revocation of Longoria's probation status. Detective Raya and Sandoval interviewed Longoria at the Santa Ana Police Department. During the interview, Longoria denied being involved in the shooting and denied being in the area. Longoria provided his cellphone number as 714-822-9372. Longoria was ultimately booked into the Santa Ana jail for PC 664-187 – Attempted Murder and PC 30305 – Felon in Posession of Ammunition. A records check on phone number 714-822-9372, confirmed the phone number is registered to Victor Longoria at 1011 W. Pine Street, Santa Ana, Ca. The records check showed the service provider as Verizon Wireless. Based on my training and experience, I know criminals use various digital devices, primarily mobile phones, to communicate with other suspects when they are planning, executing, and fleeing from crimes. I believe digital evidence found within the above-listed cellphone will assist in this investigation by identifying suspects, co- conspirators, and other crimes detectives may not be aware of. Based on my experience and observations, I know that modern cellular communication devices have become an indispensable part of daily life. They permit the user of a device to make and receive phone calls, text messages, and emails; take, send and receive videos and photographs; engage in video chats or video conferencing; read and publish material on social media accounts; read and watch news stories, make and read calendar entries to organize their schedules; browse the World Wide Web and conduct Internet searches; and utilize mapping applications to check traffic conditions and obtain turn-by-turn directions to a location. Furthermore, all of this is available in the form of a cellular telephone that fits into the user’s pocket. For thes e reasons, most people carry their cellular telephone with them at all times, effectively making the tracking of the location of the cellular telephone equivalent to tracking the location of the user of the device. Based on my training and experience, I know that cellular telephones are often in possession of and utilized by individuals that are suspects and/or victims in crimes. I know that individuals often use cellular phones to photograph/video and/or communicate about crimes (including shootings, robberies and assaults) and weapons; as well as communicate with people involved in those crimes and the destruction and/or discarding of evidence related to said criminal activity. I also know gang members to avoid travels through/into established and known rival gang territory at all costs, due primarily to fear of assault if identified; with few exceptions to include the commission of crimes such as assaults upon perceived/identified rival gang members and vandalisms such as graffiti. Any evidence of gang membership or affiliation with the above gangs, and/or any street gang, is important as it may suggest motive for the commission of the crimes, as in this case, and it may provide evidence which tends to identify other persons who may have knowledge of or be involved in the commission of the crime in the instant case, or it may tend to corroborate information given by witnesses involved in the case. Based on my training and experience in regard to criminal street gang members, inclusive of those aligning themselves with the Calle Flores gang, as well as their habits, customs and patterns of criminal activity, I know them to establish relationships of trust with individuals both within their respective gang and not. These relationships, furthermore, are often developed over extended periods of time inclusive of several months. Once said relationships are cemented, I know gang members to freely confide in those they trust in regard to their participation in criminal activity, as well as the planning of such, prior to and after the commission of crimes. I also
