On June 5, Mistri confirmed seeing Sirhan at PCC cafeteria. David Montellano and Henry Carreon described a suspect firing a .22-caliber revolver at a San Gabriel Valley Gun Club in Duarte, California, on June 4, 1968. The suspect was described as Latin descent, approximately 5'5" to 5'10", with curly dark hair and high cheekbones, carrying eight boxes of .22 ammunition. Murray, a Chicago Sun Times reporter at the Ambassador Hotel during RFK’s speech on June 5, heard shots but did not identify the shooter or observe anyone fleeing. Yoshio Nima, a kitchen worker, witnessed the shooting, noted the suspect held a gun, and described the weapon as a .22-caliber revolver with serial number H53725. Nina Yoshito, a chef at the hotel, reported being in the kitchen when RFK entered to shake hands before his speech, hearing gunshots, and witnessing a struggle involving a suspect wearing glasses. The suspect was subdued by multiple individuals, including Yoshito, who noted his short stature, curly black hair, and white shirt.
