Questions the records must answer
What supports the homicide charge beyond the pursuit?
The reviewed report does not supply the full probable-cause evidence. The affidavit, scene findings and medical report are essential.
Further investigation: What relationship did the parties have? What injuries and scene evidence support the murder charge? Who called 911 and when was Cervantes last known alive? Was there prior domestic-violence or protective-order history? What does the affidavit allege about the flight and arrest?
