Article I saved from 2000 about some dudes who got caught slippin shortly after leaving our friend's birthday party..

Around 1:30 a.m., on June 30, 2000, four Korean men left the Basic Nightclub, at 3372 West Eighth Street, Los Angeles in Korea Town. The four men were: Sung Scott Moon, Ho Yoon Lee, Tae Yong Kong, and Young Jo Lee. They were in Tae Yong Kong's white Mercedes and they were associated with the Asian Criminals or ACS gang.

At this time, appellant was driving a dark car. Dong Rib Lee and possibly another person were also in the car.

The Mercedes stopped for a red light. Appellant drove the dark car to the right side of the Mercedes. Using an AK-47 rifle, someone in the dark car fired at those in the Mercedes. There were two series of shots. Four or five shots were fired in the first series. After a pause, 15 to 20 additional shots were fired in rapid succession. As the shots were being fired, appellant drove the dark car slowly past the Mercedes.

After the [*4] shooting, the Mercedes was driven to the hospital.

Ho Yoon Lee died as a result of 16 gunshot wounds. Tae Yong Kong and Young Jo Lee were wounded. Sung Scott Moon was not injured.

The Mercedes was riddled with bullets. It had 12 bullet holes on the outside and more on the inside. It could not be determined if the holes were caused by one or more firearms. Bullets and bullet fragments were recovered from inside the Mercedes. Fifteen rifle casings were recovered from the street. An AK-47 is the type of firearm that most typically uses the ammunition indicated on the recovered cartridges. The trajectory of some of the bullet holes indicated the dark car was moving when shots were fired.

2. Some of the gang evidence and the events preceding the shooting.

The Asian Criminals or ACS gang had a rivalry with the Garden Grove Boys and the Family Mobsters. There were many incidents of violence between the two groups.

Appellant, Dong Rib Lee, Ki-Chul Hong, and Tyson (Batman) Lee all claimed to be members of, or associated with, the Garden Grove Boys or the Family Mobsters. The Garden Grove Boys and the Family Mobsters (often referred to as FMS) are related gangs. Members of the Garden [*5] Grove Boys branch out and become Family Mobsters.

After the shooting, a baseball cap that said "Garden Grove" was found in Dong Rib Lee's apartment. Also discovered were a photograph of Tyson (Batman) Lee aiming a handgun directly at the camera and a photograph of him with a handgun resting on $ 20 bills. Similar photographs had been found in other gang- related cases. A farewell note addressed to the Garden Grove Boys was posted on the front door of the apartment.

Prior to the shooting, appellant, Dong-Rib Lee, Ki-Chul Hong, and Tyson (Batman) Lee were seen together, collectively, or in different pairings.
