On the night of Saturday, August 2, 1986, at 1:35 am, LaFrant Tyrone James, 22, and 20-year-old Gregory Smith were walking home after a party on Monterey Street when a car stopped in the 200 block of S. Acme. Witnesses say four to six Hispanic males called out Hey, Brothers, and then four shots were fired from the vehicle. A passenger firing from the car over the windowsill struck both men; James died at the scene and Smith later died at Wilfred Hall Hospital.

The suspects were described as Hispanic males, with the shooter wearing blue jeans and a black muscle shirt. The vehicle was reported as a 1972–73 green LeMans or Monte Carlo. Anyone with information about the killing is asked to contact the SAPD Homicide Unit at 207-7635.
