I didn't see this posted on WS. It was big news in Long Beach at the time. Innocent people gathered together for a co-worker's backyard birthday party. Three dead, 9 injured as gang members opened fire at them from the alley.
Video that 'disrespected' gang may have sparked Halloween-party mass shooting, DA says • Long Beach Post News
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Jesse Rodriguez ruled Friday that there was sufficient evidence for the case to move forward and set a tentative arraignment date of April 2. A date for the trial itself hasn’t been scheduled.
Twelve people were arrested in September in connection with the Oct. 29, 2019 shooting, but ultimately seven people were charged with carrying out the slayings. They are Jeremy Penh, 26; David Heng Long, 20; Joshua Sam, 41; Kaylin Thik, 21; Ryan Sim, 18; Christopher Williams, 29; and Grant Johnson, 36.
They’re each facing three counts of murder and nine counts of attempted murder. They are being held without bail.
This week marked a pivotal hearing in the case against them. Over the span of three days in Long Beach Superior Court, Deputy District Attorney Cyndi Barnes gave a glimpse of the evidence against the seven men. She presented testimony that the shooting seems to have stemmed from a video posted online that “disrespected” the Tiny Rascal Gang, of which all the suspects are accused of being members.
