The prosecutor, Victor Avila, alleged the men, who were high school friends, were also responsible for two robberies that occurred on Roebling Avenue on Sept. 21, between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m.A witness saw a red car – later identified as Medina’s – pass the block between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m., around the time of the second burglary, Avila said. The witness also reported seeing Marquez in the backseat of the car, which Avila said he believes was used as the getaway vehicle.
Avila also added property from both the apartments, including a laptop and stereo system from the first burglary and some property from DelVesco’s apartment, was found in Medina’s Fresno residence.
Surveillance footage revealed both Medina and Marquez entered Marquez’s apartment on Strathmore Drive about 10 minutes after the murder, Avila added.
The footage also showed Marquez helped Medina cover his bloodied clothing with DelVesco’s blanket, Avila said.
Thanks. If the blanket has blood on it and can be linked to the victim, that is rather damning evidence. Try explaining that one away, Mr. Defense Attorney.
