ABSTRACT
On a cool San Diego night in January of 1995, Tariq Khamisa, a 20year-old college student, was delivering pizzas for a local restaurant when four teenage gang members surrounded him and demanded the pizza. Tariq refused and tried to get in his car to drive away. As he attempted to leave, the 18-year-old gang leader, Antoine Pittman, ordered 14-year-old Tony Hicks to shoot Tariq with a nine millimeter handgun. As Tariq tried desperately to flee for his life, Antoine shouted, “Bust him, Bone, bust him.” Tony obeyed.
