The National Integrated Ballistic Information Network, or NIBIN, compares ballistic evidence from crime scenes to see if it matches a weapon used in another crime.
"A majority of gun crimes are used with a firearm that is used repeatedly, that is used more than once to commit a gun crime," says DA Jose Garza last year.
Police say 37-year-old Shane Taylor was arrested on December 1, 2022 for a burglary; two guns and ammunition were found on him. The next day, they arranged for a test firing. The results were put into the NIBIN database, which linked the test fires to casings found at the murder scene of 42-year-old Olmero Santos just two days before.All the news you need to know, every day
