Description
In the early morning hours of November 22, 1986, James Hampton, a member of the "Bloods" street gang, was shot and killed in front of the A/C Pizza and Deli in Sacramento, California. There were somewhere between 50 and 200 patrons at the location that night, many of whom were drinking and partying outside the establishment at the time the shots were fired. Among those present were members of both the "Crips" and "Bloods," rival street gangs. In March of 1987, Victor Rios and John Lewis were charged with Hamptons murder. At their joint state court trial, Lewis presented a misidentification defense while Rios presented an unconsciousness defense. The jury acquitted Lewis, but found Rios guilty of second-degree murder with the personal use of a firearm in violation of California Penal Code §Â§ 187, 189, and 12022.5. After denying Rioss motion for a new trial, the trial judge sentenced him to fifteen years to life for the murder conviction and a two-year consecutive sentence for the use of a firearm.
