Background
Bruce Millsap, 33, was a reputed gang member. A Los Angeles Superior Court jury found him guilty on 23 counts, including eight counts of murder. Co-defendant Kendrick Loot, 28, was convicted on six counts, including three of murder. A third suspect, Roshone Colston, 30, awaited trial on four murder counts. A fourth, Emanuel Brown, hanged himself in jail after being ordered to stand trial.
The offence
Millsap and Loot were convicted of the Nov. 30, 1995, robbery-murder of armored car driver Fernando Herrera in the Long Beach building housing Queen City Bank. They were also convicted of the Feb. 9, 1996, robbery-murder of armored car driver James Moon at a Carson school.
The two were convicted of the Nov. 15, 1995, killing of Ramone McKissick. Millsap was convicted of the Nov. 3, 1996, robbery-murder of Lamont Smith, and the Jan. 31, 1996, murder of Manuel Garibay, a witness against him. Millsap was also convicted of the August 1996 robbery-murders of Carlos Nuno, Francisco Parocua and Patrick Barnett.
The convictions included robbery and attempted murder counts. Millsap was acquitted on a 24th count, shooting into an inhabited dwelling. Loot was convicted of attempted murder, robbery and attempted robbery.
Officers said the crimes ranged across Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties.
Investigation
Homicide detectives said in a statement:
"Their crime spree was so broad in scope, so unrepentant, so murderous, that investigators worked around the clock, seven days a week, months on end, to bring their reign of terror to an end."
A sheriff's lieutenant described the men as "super predators."
Trial
A Los Angeles Superior Court jury found Millsap guilty on 23 counts, including eight counts of murder. Co-defendant Kendrick Loot was convicted on six counts, including three of murder. Prosecutors were asking the jury to sentence Millsap and Loot to death. The penalty phase of the trial was expected to begin today.

Millsap was sentenced to eight death sentences and 200 years in prison on February 23, 2000.
