Summary:  
The document details the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy on June 6, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California. Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, a Jordanian national, is identified as the perpetrator, arrested by LAPD following the shooting and charged with murder. The weapon used was an eight-shot .22 caliber Iver Johnson pistol purchased by Albert Leslie Hertz of Alhambra on August 10, 1965. Sirhan’s fingerprints were linked to California State Horse Racing Board records, and his brother Adel notified authorities of his identity, leading to FBI confirmation. A search of Sirhan’s Pasadena home uncovered materials advocating RFK’s assassination, including statements like “RFK must die” and references to overthrowing the U.S. president. The FBI investigated potential conspiracies, noting Sirhan’s alleged ties to Communist Party activities in Los Angeles. The U.S. Attorney requested confidentiality for incriminating materials due to their impact on prosecution. A separate document from June 1968 references a shooting incident on June 5, 1968, involving an unidentified individual arrested by LAPD, with internal communications between FBI and Justice Department agencies. It includes requests for full investigations into potential conspiracies, directives for daily progress reports to the Attorney General, and public letters expressing concerns about government transparency and political involvement in the assassination.
