(a)(1), count 2), and unlawful possession of ammunition (§ 30305, subd. (a)(1), count 3). The jury additionally found true allegations that defendant had committed the murder for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a criminal street gang (§ 186.22, subd.

At sentencing, on the People’s motion, the court dismissed counts 2 and 3.
