In the early morning hours of July 30th, the party at a motel on Hosmer was dying down. Thirty-nine-year-old Ronnal Hines decided he’d leave the party and go for a drive. He asked a young woman if she’d like to join him. She agreed, but talked to another man before leaving with Ronnal. She told Ronnal she knew the location of another party. A little later they pulled into a gas station in the 5400 block of Orchard Street. Witnesses say they were smoking and having a good time. Then a man approached Ronnal’s Mustang and pointed a gun at him, saying “Give me all your sh*t!”
