"Jimenez and Castillo took García to an alley behind the building, where Jimenez restrained and Castillo raped her, according to García's testimony, "to show me what a hometown boy was." The two men left the scene for a neighbor's house. Shortly after arriving, they (or someone else) called the García-Medrano residence, laughing, taunting, and threatening García's life if she did not leave town. García armed herself with her son's .22 rifle, and she and Medrano drove the six blocks to the residence where Castillo and Jimenez were located. Accounts vary as to precisely what occurred next, but, according to Garcia's testimony during her 1975 retrial, Jimenez appeared to brandish his knife, and García shot him. Castillo, meanwhile, escaped into a nearby park. Medrano and García continued until they arrived at the home of the two friends that had visited her earlier, and when the police arrived, she surrendered to them. " (from Wikipedia).
