Armed robbers brutally murdered armored car guards Martin McCumber, age 49; Dennis Jacobson, age 25; and Alphonso Lontayo, age 25, at the Loomis Depot in Vallejo CA. The criminals later dropped all the money they stole because they couldn't carry it.

In 1994, convict Thomas Young confessed to the murders and named Eugene Livingston, Asad Muhammad, and Victor McClain as his accomplices. Young was found guilty of murder and sentenced to three life terms in prison. Livingston was found guilty of robbery and conspiracy, but was acquitted of murder; he spent a few months in prison. Muhammad's and McClain's cases were dropped due to lack of evidence.

In 1999, DNA evidence conclusively linked Muhammad to the murders; in September 2001 he received a life sentence in prison. Young and Muhammad were still in prison as of February 16, 2015.
