Murders of Ming Qu and Ying Wu

The murders of Ming Qu and Ying Wu occurred on April 11, 2012, when two African-American men shot and murdered two Chinese graduate students from USC who were sitting in their 2003 BMW parked outside of the University of Southern California (USC) campus in Los Angeles, California. It sparked safety concerns around the campus in South Los Angeles, an area notorious for its history of crime-ridden neighborhoods.

The two suspects, Javier Bolden and Bryan Barnes, aged 19 and 20 at the time of the shooting, were arrested in connection with the murders. In 2014, Barnes was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. In October of the same year, Bolden was also found guilty, and in November was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. Provided by Wikipedia
