LONG BEACH -- Two Long Beach teens charged in the slaying of a Wilson High School student following her school's homecoming game last fall appeared in court Monday for a pre-trial hearing.
Tom Love Vinson and Daivion Davis are being tried as adults for the murder of Melody Ross, 16, and the attempted murders of two gang rivals on the night of Oct. 30, 2009, as thousands of Wilson and Poly High School fans streamed out of Wilson's gates following the football game.
Vinson and Davis appeared briefly in the Long Beach Superior Court on Monday and were ordered to return to court on Oct. 19 for another pre-trial hearing.
Though Vinson and Davis were both 16 at the time of the fatal shooting they face the possibility of life without parole if convicted on all counts.
Both defendants are being held in lieu of $4,050,000 bail as they await their trial, which has yet to be scheduled.
