The allegations are tenuous at best." The feds also speculate he killed KB from the GDs: "In addition to these three incidents, the Government suggests Mr. Contreras’s involvement in the murder of Kendall Brown. Dkt. 241, at 9. In support of this, the Government offers a CPD Original Case Incident Report and Crime Scene Processing Report related to Mr. Brown’s murder (Dkt, 241-6, Government Exhibit I) as well as a CPD Ballistic Information Alert asserting a correlation between Mr. Brown’s murder and a rifle seized in Mr. Contreras’s apartment."
