Marvin James Williams, a 39-year-old Black man, was fatally shot in downtown Los Angeles on January 29, 2006.

Earl Carl Harris was arrested and charged in connection with Williams’s death. He was convicted of first-degree murder, attempted robbery, and conspiracy to commit robbery; the jury found the killing occurred during a robbery and true multiple firearm enhancements. Harris appealed, arguing the trial court should have instructed the jury on lesser offenses, but the appellate court ruled any error was harmless given the jury’s findings on special circumstances and firearm enhancements. Harris remains incarcerated following his conviction.
