Police say Morgan left an extensive trail of evidence at the shop including the gun, his laptop computer, his journal and the wig and cap. Witnesses testified Wednesday about being in the Weaving hair bookstore when Justin-Jinich was shot, and about the screaming and chaos that followed. Justin-Jinich was shot several times while working at The Red and Black Cafe inside Broad Street Books on May 6, 2009. Morgan surrendered the next night about 10 miles away in Meriden. The killing stunned and frightened the Wesleyan community for two Remy hair days and caused a campus lockdown. After the shooting, but before Morgan was arrested, police found a journal and announced that Morgan wrote about killing Justin-Jinich, going on a shooting spree on campus and targeting Jews. Justin-Jinich's family is Jewish. Morgan and Justin-Jinich apparently met in 2007 while attending a summer class at New York University. Justin-Jinich filed a harassment complaint with police that summer claiming she was getting unwanted phone calls and insulting emails from Morgan, but she didn't pursue criminal charges.
