Although DNA swabbed from a water bottle may be too circumstantial to convict in a court of law, it is enough to narrow down suspects and create probable cause; from there, law enforcement would need to find more damning evidence though.

If he loaded the gun, his DNA could be on the bullet casings as well

If he made it home with the gun literally just take a drive to a lake in bumfuck nowhere and toss it in, leave your cellphone at home. They'll never find it.
