The group targeted Ji because he was Chinese and they assumed he had money, prosecutors said.
Guerrero, who was 16 at the time of the attack, was convicted of first-degree murder, robbery, attempted robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. Prosecutors said that, after the attack, Garcia and the rest of the group drove to Dockweiler State Beach, where they accosted and robbed a couple. Garcia was convicted of robbery for the beach incident, along with attempted robbery and assault with a deadly weapon in the attack on Ji.. Parents and family members of students gathered in Beijing, seeking answers about the brutal killing, and dozens of students descended on the downtown Los Angeles courthouse to observe court proceedings.
Ji’s death came amid a string of violent incidents linked to the university. In 2012, two Chinese graduate students were shot and killed in a botched robbery near campus., outside a Halloween party. The shooting injured four people; none were USC students. In response, USC improved security and added unarmed security “ambassadors” in off-campus neighborhoods. International graduate students were also required to complete a safety education program.A roundup of the stories shaping California.
