"KTVU reports that police received a tip that the gun may have been dumped in Oakland's Lake Merritt after the shooting, and they now have dive teams operating in Lake Merritt, searching for that weapon possibly being there. "We received information potentially that evidence, a firearm, was located in the lake," Santa Rosa Police Sergeant Brandon Matthies told KTVU. "They are utilizing their dive team and search-and-rescue teams to search the bottom of the lake searching for evidence relating to our homicide.""
"While Lund was charged with performing the murder, his alleged female accomplice Morton was charged as an accessory to murder. She had originally pleaded not guilty in late October, the Bay Area News Group reports she's changed her plea to no contest. That means Morton will waive her right to a jury trial. And that may indicate a split between the two suspects, in terms of legal defense strategies at least."
Mark Calcagni, manager of the Condor Club, was fatally shot outside his Santa Rosa home in early October. Police arrested two former Condor Club employees, 43-year-old Richard Anthony Lund and 25-year-old Asia Lozano Morton, alleging Calcagni had fired both and that they had a motive. Authorities received a tip that the firearm might have been dumped in Oakland's Lake Merritt and have deployed dive and search-and-rescue teams to search the lake bottom. Officials have not confirmed recovery of the weapon or provided a search timeline. Morton changed her plea to no contest on accessory charges; Lund is charged with murder and remains jailed.
