“A. Events Preceding the Charged Crimes
“The parties stipulated that at 4:20 p.m. on May 22, 2002, five gunshots were fired
at the intersection of Ottawa and Enterprise in the City of Riverside. A witness saw a red
older model small vehicle with a spoiler on the trunk chasing a Ford Explorer. A
Hispanic male appearing to be in his 20’s with a thin build was driving the red vehicle.
An African-American male was driving the Explorer. Five 9-millimeter shell casings
were found at the scene.
“At approximately 3:40 a.m. on May 26, 2002, 21-year-old Antwone Shaw was in
his car delivering newspapers at Ottawa and Fourteenth Streets when he noticed an older
black Acura Integra travel past him. Shaw spotted the Acura a second time on Ohio
Street, located one block from Enterprise. As Shaw continued his route, he stopped at a
stop sign at the intersection of Illinois and Ottawa. There, he saw the Acura a third time.
