A handgun registered to infamous killer Christopher Dorner has resurfaced more than eleven years after his death. Federal investigators say so-called crime tourists from South America may have used the gun in a robbery outside of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel last Wednesday. Court documents say the suspects stole a million-dollar watch from a tourist while holding him at gunpoint.

On Saturday, two of the suspects were arrested in Blythe, near the California-Arizona border. On the same day, police raided an Airbnb where the two men had been staying. They recovered a Glock 21 .45-caliber handgun, which was registered to Dorner, a former LAPD officer, who in 2013, posted a manifesto online then killed a couple in Irvine and two police officers, before taking his own life. It’s unclear where and how the suspects got the gun.
