The criminal case against an illegal immigrant accused of fatally
shooting a woman on a San Francisco pier took a new turn Wednesday, as
reports emerged suggesting that the gun used to fire the deadly shot may
have been stolen from a federal law enforcement agent four days
earlier. The federal Bureau of Land Management said Wednesday
that a weapon belonging to one of its law enforcement officers was
stolen on June 27 in San Francisco, but the agency would not confirm
that the weapon was used in the apparently random shooting that occurred
July 1, resulting in the death of woman out for a walk with her father. A law enforcement official said separately that the gun in that case belonged to a federal law enforcement agent...more
And this article, along with the info on the lost BLM gun, had this additional information:
The man charged with the shooting, 45-year-old Juan Francisco
Lopez-Sanchez, said in interviews with local media that he found the gun
wrapped in a T-shirt.
Some things we'd like to know: a) Was it a BLM ranger's gun? (will not confirm or deny means to me that it was) b) Was the BLM ranger on-duty or off-duty? c) The exact location of the theft d) The date of the theft, and e) The time and date of when this was reported to supervisors.
UPDATE
This article states:
The firearm used in the homicide was issued to a U.S. Bureau of Land
Management law enforcement ranger who was on official government travel
in San Francisco when his vehicle was broken into and the firearm was
stolen. San Francisco police are continuing to investigate who stole the
firearm from the ranger’s vehicle and how Sanchez-Lopez gained access to
the gun.

Why did the BLM law officer leave his gun in his vehicle? Was it because the city of San Farries does not permit this level of law officer to carry a weapon,or was that the case in the building into which he was going to enter? Most law officers do not part with their weapons in their vehicles. Then, ask why someone wanted to break into this particular vehicle? Are all law enforcement vehicles subject to illegal entry? Or was this BLM officer off duty at a questionable location? There seems to be many unanswered questions about how and why the gun could have been acquired.
thanks
