New York (HedgeCo.Net) -The authorities have found a stash of ammo at the childhood home of Thomas Gilbert Jr., who was indicted for killing his 70-year-old father, Gilbert Sr.

“Police recently executed a search warrant in his bedroom in his parent’s home in the Hamptons,” said Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Craig Ortner said yesterday, according to the New York Post. “Investigators found 114 rounds of live .40-caliber ammunition, and it matched the murder weapon.”

Police also recovered a gun holster and other evidence during the search, prosecutors said.

The NYPD said that the victim, a hedge fund manger and biotech pioneer, Thomas Gilbert Sr, was allegedly shot in the head by his son during an argument. Gilbert’s son, Tommy Gilbert,  has been taken into custody by the police for questioning.

“Reportedly, Gilbert and his son had an argument regarding Thomas Gilbert Jr.’s monthly allowance.” West Side Story reports. “The incident was told by Gilbert’s wife, Boyce to the police. She told the police that after she returned home from a dinner with his son on a Sunday afternoon, she found her husband’s dead body in the house. It was shot in the head with a gun, covered by the left hand, resting on his chest. But she claimed that it was a staged suicide and convicted her son of the act. Upon investigation, Thomas was also found to be in possession of a weapon that was linked to the death of his father.

“I seek to have my client evaluated,” Thomas Gilbert Jr´s attorney Alex Spiro, said.
