Steven W. Bonilla is on death row in
the state of California. In March of 2019, the state halted
executions, leaving death row in the air. As someone who has seen
every crime that was committed to earn this sentence, it is truly
reserved for the worst of the worst, and he or she will likely serve
life in prison if the death penalty is no longer an option.
Crime
After a falling out with his nightclub
business partner, Bonilla recruited two men to abduct and kill him. According to the state, Days later, on or about October 12, Bonilla or Nichols wired Keyes money
to return to the Bay Area and the three met again. Bonilla explained
he was running out of money, so Harris needed to be killed soon. Once
Harris was dead, Bonilla would be able to push Harris's wife, Susan,
aside, take over Harris's businesses, and start skimming money.
Bonilla believed that because Harris had cheated many people, there
would be many suspects if Harris died. Keyes and Nichols spent more
days trying to plan how to kill Harris, while Bonilla grew increasingly
impatient. One evening, Bonilla had dinner with Harris and his wife,
while Nichols and Keyes waited outside, but they decided not to grab
Harris yet because there were too many potential witnesses. With no
plan in place, Keyes again returned to Nevada and Nichols to Arizona,
while Bonilla tried to figure out how to lure Harris to a more secluded
place so Keyes and Nichols could kill him.
