Connecticut allows murder defendants something called a hearing in probable cause, which allows a judge to review the evidence and rule on the question of whether police have enough probable cause for a murder charge. Police investigators testified that a live bullet of the same caliber and manufacture as four shell casings found next to where the shots were fired that are believed to have killed Gooden, was found in the Jeep that the three were pulled over less than 15 minutes after the shooting. The three also tested positive for gunshot residue right after the shooting and a 10 millimeter gun, matching the caliber of the shell casings and live round, was found taken apart and stashed in the dashboard of the vehicle.
