3 suspected of targeting people in blue - Kingman Daily Miner - Kingman, Arizona: "string of assaults over the color of clothing worn by random people in public Friday ended when the last victim opened fire on his attackers, hitting one suspect multiple times.

Authorities believe the three reported victims - a homeless man, a 13-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man - were all attacked because they were wearing blue, a color associated with the Crips, one of the largest street gangs in the United States. The victims appear to have been targeted at random while the three suspects drove around town in a red Toyota truck Friday afternoon.

'They (the victims) just happened to be walking in the area when the suspects pulled up,' said Kingman Police Lt. Rusty Cooper. 'The only commonality was the color of their clothing.'

Two of the suspects, a 17-year-old from Kingman and a 17-year-old formerly of Kingman and now living in California, are charged with two counts of felony armed robbery and one count of aggravated assault.

The third suspect, 19-year-old Timothy Albert Hagood of Northern California, faces similar charges pending his release from the hospital. He is listed in stable condition at Kingman Regional Medical Center after he was shot multiple times."
