Chief Carl said he was in the room when the post-mortem examination was performed on Javid and watched medical examiners recover the bullet, which had been lodged near his heart. They hadn't tried to remove the bullet while Javid was alive because he wouldn't have survived that surgery.

So when Javid did pass, they were able to take a look at the bullet that killed him and determine that it was a .38 caliber. It wasn't a golden ticket right away. Police couldn't immediately link it to any particular firearm. But a month later, that would change. And the bullet would suddenly become the most solid lead for investigators in Javid's case.

About 30 days after Javid died, police in New Britain, Connecticut, got a call that a local department store had just been robbed. Their potential suspects had allegedly fled the scene in a car that New Britain police put out Ebola for. Now, New Britain is about 30 miles from East Windsor, so detectives investigating Javid's murder didn't have this on their radar. Yet.

But almost right away, police in the town of Newington, which is right next to New Britain, heard that Bolo and saw the same car driving through their town. So they went lights and sirens on these guys and pulled them over. Inside the car was a group of men, including a guy we'll call Tyrone and a guy we'll call Mike.

Now, quick side note here, we're using pseudonyms at law enforcement's request so that we don't compromise their investigation, which is heating up as we speak. So Mike, one of the guys in the car, had a gun on him, a Colt .38 revolver. And Mike had gotten into some legal trouble before.

He'd been arrested on some charges for criminal trespass and larceny, along with an arrest for the robbery of a pizza delivery worker. And he was on probation at this point, so he wasn't allowed to have a gun. In fact, he and Tyrone were both known to carry weapons illegally and get in trouble with police.

Detective Roberts told our reporters that Tyrone had a criminal history that involved illegally carrying guns and committing robberies. So after they were pulled over, Mike was arrested for violating his probation, and that revolver he had was sent off to the state forensics lab, where they performed a test fire. They ran the results to see if the bullet from this gun hit to any other crimes.

And bingo, two unrelated incidents were suddenly connected. That gun Mike had, it seemed, at least at first, that it was the literal smoking gun for detectives over in East Windsor. Because forensic testing showed that this was, without a doubt, the gun that was used in Javid's murder. So, obviously, the detectives in East Windsor took a hard look at Mike.
