Diddy trial live updates: New alleged details emerge in Kid Cudi’s car bombing in Sean Combs’ case

Arson investigator Lance Jimenez testified that Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi gave law enforcement two fingerprint cards that were taken from the December 2011 incident, in which Mescudi alleged Sean “Diddy” Combs broke into his home.

These cards were destroyed by an LAPD officer in August 2012, Jimenez said. The LAPD authorized the destruction of those print cards, he added.

Prosecutors asked if this was “unusual” and the defense objected.

“They were suggesting that someone in this courtroom had something to do with the improper destruction of evidence, which is ridiculous,” defense attorney Marc Agnifilo argued.

Prosecutors then argued that there was no ability to compare the fingerprints due to this destruction, so they think it’s a relevant detail.

Arson investigator Lance Jimenez said the damage done to Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi’s Porsche was a “targeted” attack.

“I personally felt that it was targeted,” Jimenez testified.

Last week, Mescudi testified that he knew that Sean “Diddy” Combs “had something to do with” the attack, but Combs denied any involvement when confronted.

Arson investigator Lance Jimenez said the Molotov cocktail used to bomb Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi’s car didn’t shatter correctly.

Molotov cocktails typically cause more extensive damage, he said. Jimenez said the cloth in the bottle fell out, but the glass didn’t shatter, causing gasoline to leak out.

Arson investigator Lance Jimenez investigated the bombing of Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi’s Porsche in January 2012.

Jimenez said the car’s roof had been cut and there was a bottle inside the car. Jimenez also found a lighter outside the car.

“There was a bottle on the front seat and there was like a cloth, a handkerchief, on the center console that was burned,” he testified.

Mescudi testified last week that his car was blown up with a Molotov cocktail.

Los Angeles police officer Christopher Ignacio has finished testifying.

Los Angeles Fire Department arson investigator Lance Jimenez has taken the stand. He investigated the bombing of Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi’s Porsche on January 9, 2012.

Los Angeles police officer Christopher Ignacio said Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi was “real flustered” when he responded to his home in December 2011 after the alleged break-in.

Los Angeles police officer Christopher Ignacio testified that a black Escalade sped away from Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi’s home as soon as he drove up.

Igancio said he later ran the car’s plate and discovered it belonged to Sean “Diddy” Combs’s company Bad Boy Productions.

Los Angeles police officer Christopher Ignacio testified that he entered Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi’s home during the December 2011 incident.

Igancio said he saw some wrapped and unwrapped gifts. Last week, Mescudi testified that Sean “Diddy” Combs broke into his home and opened some gifts he had purchased for his family.

Igancio noted the door was unlocked when he entered.

Los Angeles police officer Christopher Ignacio responded to Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi’s home after Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly broke in.

The incident occurred in December 2011, after Combs discovered that Mescudi was dating Cassie Ventura.

As he approached with his lights on, Igancio said he saw a black Escalade flee the scene as soon as he pulled up.

Igancio said he noted the license plate but didn’t pursue the car as there wasn’t a crime.

Prosecutors have called Los Angeles Police Officer Christopher Ignacio to the stand.
