Jurors deliberated for nearly a full day before coming back with the verdicts after a month-long trial.

Five gang members were convicted of first-degree murder for the shooting deaths of three people at a Halloween-themed party in Long Beach just over four years ago, along with the attempted murders of nine other people who were injured, including a woman who was left paralyzed.

5 gang members were convicted of killing 3 men and injuring 9 other people in a shooting at a Halloween-themed house party in Long Beach 4 years ago where they mistakenly believed rival gang members would be in attendance.

Jurors were handed the case for deliberations Tuesday, Nov. 14, after more than a month of trial.

Ryan Sim, 22, took the stand and claimed he acted alone and fired three guns into a crowded backyard, killing three and injuring nine in October 2019.

The victims said they were never given a specific reason why they were asked to go inside shortly before the shooting, which killed three men and injured nine other people.

Joshua Sam, one of eight men accused of being involved in a Halloween party shooting in Long Beach, testified in the trial against the remaining five defendants.

Jasmine Johnson and six other attendees of a Halloween themed party in Long Beach in 2019 testified about their experiences during the trial.

Some witnesses said they saw a man in dark clothing, wearing a mask standing on a back fence with a gun.

The 5 hatched a plan to shoot partygoers because the men believed rival gang members would be there, prosecutors say.
