About
Latasha Harlins (January 1, 1976 – March 16, 1991) was a 15-year-old African-American teenager who was fatally shot in the Vermont Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, by Soon Ja Du, a Korean-American store owner. Harlins entered Du's store, Empire Liquor Market, to purchase an individual-sized bottle of orange juice. As Harlins approached the register, Du accused her of attempting to shoplift, which Harlins denied. Du lunged across the counter and grabbed Harlins by her open sweater, pulling her inward.
