Court is set to start with Homeland Security special agent Gerard Gannon today, who led the raid of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Miami mansion in March 2024.

We heard from Ganon on Tuesday, when he showed the jury some of the things he found on the property.

This includes semiautomatic AR15 rifles, magazines loaded with bullets, lingerie, baby oil and platform high heels.

The rifles, designed to fire at a high rate, were enhanced with things like “red dot optics”, used for precision shooting – not a common feature in the rifles.

Firearm serial numbers, used to track the weapon from the manufacturer to the owner, allegedly were cut out of two of the weapons.

Gannon also mentioned that one of Combs’ 30-bullet magazine only had 19 bullets inside when it was found.
