The items were found when police apprehended career criminal West Spruill, 39, and recovered the .40-caliber pistol he used to gun down the innocent woman as she ran naked down the street trying to escape an attempted rape.
Spruill stalked Ana Charle, 36, as she left left her job at the Project Renewal shelter on Bronx Boulevard in Wakefield at about 5:45 p.m. Monday and walked to her Honda parked a block away.
That’s when the maniac pulled a gun on her and ordered her into the back seat and then told her to take off her clothes, ­police sources said.

The sources said Spruill did not have a chance to restrain the woman’s wrists because she slipped out of the car and ran naked down the street.
But she didn’t make it very far before Spruill caught up with her and gunned her down, firing two .40-caliber slugs into her head and one into her torso.

Charle, a native of Spain, was rushed to Montefiore Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
“She requested security, but they never provided it at that place,” Alcendor said, referring to problem-plagued Project Renewal.
Spruill found his way to Project Renewal in June of last year, just months after being set free from a Michigan prison where he served seven years for assault with a deadly weapon, the source said.
He was also charged with misdemeanor assault in Brooklyn last month.
He crashed at Charle’s facility until January, when he left to take up residence at another shelter in Manhattan and lived there until April 7, sources said.
Investigators believe Spruill returned to the Bronx shelter with the intention of committing the crime against Charle.
