People v. Dixon

In People v. Dixon (1995) 32 Cal.App.4th 1547, four men, including the defendant, tried to force the victim into a car against her will. Three of them got in and drove away. The defendant, who remained, took two or three steps away from the victim, drew a gun, and fired several times, hitting her twice, fatally. (Id. at pp. 1550-1551.) On appeal, the court concluded involuntary manslaughter were not warranted because the evidence did not support a finding that the killing was unintentional, a prerequisite for involuntary manslaughter. (Id. at pp. 1557-1558.)
