I kind of have a hard time seeing the father leaving his kids there on the ground to go get the gun, shoot the guy, trash the gun, wash the residue off his hands and then Ta Da! be there working on his son when the police get there.
I can quite easily see some neighbor out there, see what happened to the kids and popping the guy. No one saw the dad do it.
It's possible to me that a witness at the accident scene murdered Banda, Six. The time line that Duchess posted is very tight, assuming the witness who called 911 did it right after the accident occurred. Barajas was reportedly covered in blood from attempting CPR on the boys and was at the accident site when paramedics arrived.
One thing that I just learned is that the Barajas' home surveillance system had been disabled, so the comings and goings from the house that night aren't on video. I do not know if it was disabled after the accident, but I believe that's the prosecutor's implication.
Found a little more about the weapon and the witnesses.
Snip:
Hrach (prosecutor) tried to minimize the absence of a murder weapon, saying that a bullet fragment from a .357 caliber weapon was found at the murder scene and that an open box with .357 caliber ammunition was found in Barajas' home.
Witnesses will testify that they saw Barajas leave the scene and then come back and approach Banda's vehicle, going up against the car, appearing to be hiding something, Hrach said.
Barajas' blood was found on the armrest and dashboard of Banda's car, Hrach said.
But Cammack (defense atty) tried to cast doubt on prosecutors' claims that Barajas was responsible by suggesting to jurors that various other people seen near Banda's vehicle after the wreck could have been responsible.

Witnesses seeing Barajas up against Banda's car and Barajas' blood inside of that car sounds pretty incriminating, though. I wanna hear the witness testimony.
This is a sad and difficult case, all the way around.
