2 Girls Testify in Fatal Shooting of Student
Two girls testified Tuesday in Van Nuys Superior Court that they watched in surprise as a companion pulled out a gun and fired repeatedly at a teenager outside the Fallbrook Mall after yelling something they could not understand.
“You don’t gangbang? Well, you do now,” both girls testified that the man with the gun, 19-year-old Tommy Lee Williams, later told them he said to his alleged victim, who died of multiple gunshot wounds.
The eyewitness testimony came in the murder trial of Williams and Elliott O’Neil Singletary. Both are charged with the fatal shooting of 16-year-old Taft High School student Ramtin Shaolian on June 9, 1995.
The girls, both from Woodland Hills, testified under a grant of immunity from prosecution.
