Who is Death of Latasha Harlins?
Latasha Harlins was a 15-year-old African-American girl who was unlawfully shot and killed by Soon Ja Du, a 51-year-old Korean store owner. Harlins was a student at Westchester High School in Los Angeles. Because Harlins' death came thirteen days after the videotaped beating of Rodney King and Du was fined, sentenced to probation and community service for her crime, some sources cited the shooting as one of the causes of the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
