Critical pieces of evidence are still outstanding in the investigation into a fatal shooting on the New Mexico movie set for Rust last year that killed one crew member.

Firearm and ballistics analysis, a medical examiner’s report, and data from Alec Baldwin’s phone are among pieces of evidence still needed in order to complete the six-month-old criminal investigation, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department said Monday.
