TWO men accused of fatally shooting a pair of Chinese graduate students at the University of Southern California were charged yesterday with capital murder, making them eligible to face the death penalty if convicted, prosecutors said.
Engineering graduate students Ming Qu and Ying Wu, both 23, were killed early on April 11 as they were sitting in a parked car outside Wu's rented home, a few blocks from the USC campus.
Their deaths were the result of an attempted robbery gone wrong, the Los Angeles District Attorney's office said, and sparked a debate over whether the university provides adequate security measures in neighborhoods adjacent to the urban campus where many students live.
The men arrested in the case, 20-year-old Bryan Barnes and 19-year-old Javier Bolden, have been charged with capital murder during a suspected robbery. Prosecutors have not yet decided whether to seek the death penalty or life in prison, both options in a capital case, the district attorney's office said.
Barnes and Bolden, handcuffed and wearing casual clothing, and acting serious and reserved, briefly appeared in a Los Angeles court yesterday to face the charges before the hearing was continued until June 25.
