P. v. Johnson CA3
On transfer from the California Supreme Court based on a change in the law, this court considers the case again.
The Viet Pride and Khome Zong Tong (KZT) gangs are rivals of the Hop Sing street gang. In 2012, Kao Saechao, a Hop Sing gang member, entered a store in a shopping center in South Sacramento, a gathering place for KZT and Viet Pride members who consider the shopping center their territory. A minute later, defendants Jhordan Villanueva and Danny Dien Do, Viet Pride gang members, appeared outside the store and were joined soon after by defendants Roderick Bernard Randall and Conrad J. Johnson, Jr., KZT gang members. Villanueva, Do, and Randall challenged Saechao to come outside and fight. Saechao, fearing there would be a shootout if he left the store, called other Hop Sing members for help, and they arrived shortly thereafter in a red Honda. Shots were fired at the Honda by defendants Lam Quoc Luong and Johnson, and occupants were hit.
