Thirteen days after police officers beat Rodney King in Los Angeles in March 1991, another instance of videotaped violence occurred in Compton. Korean liquor store owner Soon Ja Du shot a 15-year-old Black girl, Latasha Harlins, in the back of her head, killing her over a bottle of orange juice Harlins had intended to pay for. Both of these events served as flash points for the deadly L.A. riots the following year.
