All three were juveniles at the time of the shootings but were charged as adults. Prosecutor Michael Runyon has said the defendants were on a “hunting trip” to find and kill rival gang members over a weekend in August 2004. Killed were Richard Wilson, 22, of Lemon Grove and Lee Smith Jr., 16, a Morse High School junior. Others were injured. Runyon said there was no evidence the murder victims were gang members
