Heartbroken grandfather reports missing gun, ammo

Police said Kerner's grandfather initially told them he had not noticed anything out of place in his garage after returning from being out of town when the incident in question is alleged to have occurred, according to police. He said Kerner and his mother had access to the home because they were caring for a dog.

Shortly after being asked to leave the property while it was searched, he returned and told investigators he had not been truthful, according to charging documents. He said upon arriving home, he noticed a poorly repaired hole in the garage wall and repaired it again, but was not sure it was a bullet hole.

The grandfather said Connor had painted random spots on the garage walls that he then repainted, police said. The garage floor had also been cleaned and he noticed bullet holes through a vehicle bumper and motorcycle seat.

Police said the grandfather also found one of his three guns — a 9mm — and two magazines and gun cleaning supplies missing. He also found a wrench in the garage containing a stain and hair.
