Overview

• Redlands police served a new warrant this week at a Colton address and recovered additional weapons, marking at least the fourth search in the case.
• Investigators found Emilio Ghanem’s rented Nissan Frontier and other evidence, leading them to pursue his 2023 disappearance as a potential homicide.
• On August 14, Pastor Darryl “Muzic” Martin and his wife, Shelly Bailey “Kat” Martin, were detained at a Laguna Hills hotel on suspicion of illegal weapons possession, with Shelly later released after a medical episode.
• Searches at properties in Hemet and Anza uncovered converted fully automatic rifles, short-barreled rifles, unserialized ghost guns, and electronic devices for analysis.
• The pastor and three others arrested during the operations are out of custody and have not been charged as authorities coordinate with Claremont police on the separate case of missing Perris resident Ruben Moreno.
