Projectile Trajectory Reconstruction
Examination aimed at determining the moment of the shot, resulting in the identification of the projectile's trajectory.
Client
The Case
Examine the position of subject 1 at the time of the shot against subject 2 and determine whether the trajectory is direct or indirect.
Examined Evidence
Evaluation of video material contained in a USB drive and extracted from the surveillance cameras of a commercial activity.
Techniques adopted
Video frames improvement through Amped Five software.
Findings
From the video sequence, the most significant frames were extracted, and through the Amped Five software, it was possible to enhance and the moment of the shot.
Analyses conducted on the improved frames revealed that the aiming line and the angle of the arm of subject 1 were not directly aimed towards subject 2.
Considering the positions of the two subjects involved, it was observed that the shooter's arm angle relative to the body of subject 2 and the aiming line were oriented towards the ground, causing the bullet to ricochet.
