P. v. Chheang
Police officers found appellant in possession of a handgun that had been used in the shooting death of a 16-year-old boy. Appellant moved to suppress the handgun based upon a theory of illegal search and seizure. The motion was denied by the trial court. A jury convicted appellant of first degree murder (Pen. Code, 187, subd. (a)) and additionally found true that he committed the murder with a firearm ( 12022.53) and that he committed the murder for the benefit of a criminal street gang ( 186.22). Appellant contends that the trial court erred when it denied his motion to suppress ( 1538.5) and further contends that the statements made by him to police investigators should be suppressed as fruits of an illegal search.
