In the late evening of October 3, 1987, Ronald Stumpf told his wife he was going out to play pool.   Driving his 1972 Toyota down Long Beach Boulevard about 30 minutes later, he spotted George Springer, an acquaintance who had previously assisted him in buying rock cocaine.   Springer approached Stumpf, and Stumpf asked where he could “go score.”   With Springer in the passenger seat giving directions, Stumpf drove to Norton Avenue, where they saw defendant-with whom Springer had previous drug dealings-standing on the sidewalk with another person.

They pulled up to defendant, and defendant, standing on the passenger side, asked what they wanted.   Springer indicated they needed a $20 piece of cocaine and defendant handed a rock to Stumpf, who was holding money in his hand.   According to Springer, Stumpf passed it back to defendant because the rock was too small.   Perceiving Stumpf had broken a piece of the rock, defendant said something like, “You broke my shit.”   He then pulled a gun, leaned in the passenger side, and fired several times from close range at Stumpf's chest.   Springer testified he crouched down and his ears began to ring as smoke and fire came from the gun.   When the shooting stopped, he saw Stumpf's upper body covered with blood.
