Prosecutors circled Jarvis Touissant on the right. In the federal charges, prosecutors and ATF investigators explained how they came to identify and charge Toussaint based on surveillance video from inside the lounge, cell phone location data, car dealership records, ALPR technology, Instagram information and DNA analysis.
As the criminal complaint lays out, surveillance video inside the lounge shows Toussaint dressed in a white-and-black baseball cap with an SF logo on it walking toward Martin inside the club, and firing on the younger man with a pistol. Martin had lunged toward Toussaint first, according to the complaint.
Meanwhile, Martin was also firing shots from his 10 mm caliber Glock pistol, according to the complaint. Prosecutors did not detail what caused the two men to start fighting and shooting in the first place. As Toussaint ran away from the nightclub, he kept firing additional rounds at Martin, according to the complaint, who continued to fire rounds as well from his high-capacity magazine.
Investigators matched Toussaint's DMV photo with a photo inside the club, which they say matched each other.

Then, investigators received cell phone location data associated with the phone number Toussaint provided to the dealership, showing that the phone traveled the same path as the BMW on the night of the shooting and was in the area of EZ's Lounge. Plus, investigators matched the phone number and email that Toussaint gave the car dealership to his Instagram account, showing him wearing what appears to be the same SF baseball cap he wore on the night of the shooting, according to the complaint.
San Joaquin County sheriff's deputies arrested Toussaint on March 19, 12 days after the EZ's Lounge, for an unrelated felony offense. Federal probation officers searched Toussaint's house, as he is still on federal supervised release, and found 58 rounds of ammunition, but ultimately concluded that the ammunition did not match what was found at EZ's Lounge, the complaint states.
Toussaint was in federal custody on an unrelated offense, prosecutors said, and is scheduled to appear before Magistrate Judge Ajay Krishnan on May 19.
