Based on the DNA fingerprints provided:

The "Evidence Sample" shows specific bands corresponding to DNA regions. For the evidence to match a particular individual, their DNA reference sample should have bands that align with those in the evidence sample.

Comparing the "Evidence Sample" to the "Victim Reference Sample", "Suspect #1 Reference Sample", and "Suspect #2 Reference Sample":

- The "Victim Reference Sample" does not match the "Evidence Sample" as many bands do not align.

- The "Suspect #1 Reference Sample" also does not match the "Evidence Sample" for the same reason.

- The "Suspect #2 Reference Sample" appears to have bands that align closely with those in the "Evidence Sample."

The data suggests that the DNA from "Suspect #2" matches the "Evidence Sample". However, it's important to note that DNA evidence should be interpreted with caution and in conjunction with other evidence in a real-life context. It would be a stretch to say "Suspect #2 is guilty" based solely on this evidence, but rather that their DNA matches the sample found at the crime scene. Actual guilt must be determined through a thorough investigation and legal proceedings.
