  I don't know if they were ever caught.  Detectives went through the
cab with UV and possibly lasers looking for fingerprints before they
released the car to me (and kept their distance emotionally, in case I
had actually staged the theft and was part of the group who did the
crime!).  The cab was filled inside with dozens of expended cartridge
cases, both 9 mm and .22 Long Rifle.  Even after a thorough cleaning,
for months and years later I'd occasionally encounter another "shell"
that had come loose and was rattling somewhere inside.

  What I did do (this refers to the top portion of the reply above
that I retained) was remove the special stickers I had on my car's
rear window, for there were many times that I drove through the
neighborhood where the murders happened between home and work (when I
wasn't riding my bicycle instead), and I did not want to encounter
members of the rival gang who might be seeking their revenge.
