Gun linked to Christopher Dorner found at alleged crime tourists' Airbnb after Beverly Hills armed robbery

The suspects targeted a tourist wearing a $1 million Patek Philippe watch while he was sitting at the hotel's restaurant patio with his wife and two daughters, according to the affidavit released by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Two suspects held the man at gunpoint while they removed the watch from the man's wrist. Afterward, a getaway driver, later identified as 21-year-old Jamer Mauricio Sepulveda Salazar of Colombia, whisked the armed suspects out of the city in a Toyota Corolla.

The Beverly Hills Police Department learned that the crew planned to head to the Arizona border after the robbery, according to Jena MacCabe, the Assistant U.S. Attorney handling the case.

Three days later, officers from the Blythe Police Department arrested two of the suspects, 19-year-old Jesus Eduardo Padron Rojas of Venezuela and Sepulveda, as well as another woman on the I-10 Freeway close to the California-Arizona border. Sepulveda told investigators they were going to Miami to meet with a co-conspirator and get their cut from the stolen watch, according to the affidavit.
