He took off his suit jacket and tossed it under the driver's seat, and then shut the door.

He rolled up the sleeves of his white dress shirt, loosened his tie, and then walked from the curb up to the porch of the house, until he was standing next to the dead body of a man who was lying face up and wearing yoga pants and a tank top.

Jimenez was not the first member of the Tucson PD on the scene, and one of the other officers who was already there told him that the body he was looking at belonged to the home's resident, who was named Michael Dojaquez.

Around the bullet wound, Jimenez could see a black star-shaped gunpowder burn.

There was lots of dried blood on the porch floor around the head and more blood on Michael's clothes and legs.

Jimenez mentioned to the officer to be on the lookout for any shell casings.

Then Jimenez put his hand up to Michael's exposed skin and found that it was actually still warm.

The fact the body had not gone cold yet suggested that Michael may have been killed only a few hours earlier, probably in the early hours of Friday morning.
