The state has responded to Tory Lanez's latest petition , saying his claim that the gun can't be tested for DNA because it's missing is "demonstrably false." In a declaration caught by reporter Meghann Cuniff on Tuesday, the state of California wrote that Lanez failed to provide "reasonably available documentary evidence" to support his claim. "His failure to do so is especially troubling because his factual assertion that the firearm, casings, and bullet fragments are 'missing' is contradicted by the attached declaration from Martin Preciado, which avers that his query of the computer system for the Los Angeles Police Department ('LAPD') shows that LAPD still has custody of the firearm and the firearm’s magazine, as well as the casings and fragments that were booked into evidence," the filing reads.
