Summary: The documents detail witness accounts and investigative reports surrounding the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968. Jesus Perez, a kitchen porter, described interacting with an individual near the steam table area who repeatedly asked if Senator Kennedy was passing through. Perez noted the suspect was alone, spoke English, and appeared to be of Armenian or Italian descent, observing four to five shots fired from a large gun (approximately one foot long) before fleeing. Other witnesses, including Freddy and George Plitton, corroborated accounts but provided less detail. William Price, in an FBI interview, identified Sirhan Sirhan as the individual who purchased a murder weapon from George Ehrhardt on Howard Street, Pasadena. The documents reference formal interviews conducted by law enforcement and internal affairs divisions, with notes on witness statements and investigative follow-ups. A separate transcript involves Munir Sirihan, George Enrichard (various spellings), and William Price discussing conflicting accounts of a firearm sale, including discrepancies about whether George Enrichard visited Sirihan’s residence in Pasadena, the timeline of the transaction, and the presence of $25 exchanged. Sirihan claimed George met his brother, Sirhan, at his house, while George denied this. The conversation also mentions a potential lie detector test and references to the sale occurring on a street corner in Pasadena due to logistical convenience. Another transcript involves an interrogation or interview with Sirhan Sirhan, George Berard, and others discussing discrepancies in the firearm transaction, including price negotiations, Sirhan’s brother’s involvement, and financial arrangements. References to Form 618 (R-3-4) and E.O. 14176 suggest administrative or investigative documentation context.
