It happened in northeast Los Angeles when Tim Stone turned his girlfriend's car the wrong way onto a tiny, dead end street. Linda Dalton, Stephanie's grandmother, described how gang members ambushed a car carrying her daughter, son and three grandchildren. Driver Tim Stone was hit in the back. Neighbors on this dead-end street say gang members begin showing up about 6 p.m., as many as 60 at a time, on any given night. No one here tells them to turn down loud music from their car stereos.
Neighbors say they just remain inside, hiding.
Harold Clifton of the Los Angeles police department. We've had black victims, we've had brown victims, we've had white victims. But that's little consolation to family members. Dalton said through tears. Tina Dalton says she's struggling to find a way to explain to her own daughter that little Stephanie can't come back to life with magic dust.
