Laws, Life, and Legal Matters - Court Cases and Legal Information at Leagle.com - All Federal and State Appeals Court Cases in One Search: "On the night of November 26, 2007, Juan Garcia drove up to his house. His wife Patricia Popoca was sitting next to him. Her three children were in the back seat of the car. When Garcia parked, a man approached the car, opened the driver's door and produced a gun. Garcia, a former member of Barrio Mojados or the B.M.S. gang, pleaded with the man not to shoot him in front of his family to no avail. The man shot Garcia six to eight times and then walked away. Popoca did not see anyone other than the shooter. However, her 11-year-old child saw another man standing near the passenger side of the car, who fired his gun at the same time, before he fled. Garcia suffered six gunshot wounds and died. Popoca's leg was struck by a bullet that passed through her thigh. She was treated at the hospital.
Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department found expended cartridges at the site of the shooting, indicating three different kinds of guns had been fired at the time. No firearms were recovered. Popoca described the gun of the shooter she saw as a semiautomatic rather than a revolver."
