P. v. Lathan CA2/5
“At the time of the crimes, [G.T.], Veronica Perez, and their children were visiting [I.M.], [A.P.], and their children. At some point in the evening, [I.M.] and [G.T.] were sitting in [I.M.]’s car, parked near the front door to the house. [I.M.] was in the passenger seat, [G.T.] in the driver’s seat. The driver’s side door was open. [Defendant] and another man approached them.
“[Defendant] shot [G.T.] twice, in the stomach and in the chest. The other man shot [I.M.] twice. [G.T.] ran into the house and fell on the couch. [Defendant] continued to shoot at [G.T.] as he ran.
“[A.P.] was inside the house when she heard six or seven shots fired. She ran to the front door and saw two men. She could not tell if both . . . were shooting, but she heard rapid gunshots when she saw them both there. The men turned and appeared to see her, so she stepped back into the house.
