midnight, a fight broke
out at the bowling alley
between two people and
quickly grew into a brawl
with 10 to 15 people, police
said. At some point, Wal-
lace allegedly took out a
handgun from his pocket
and began shooting.
He is accused of kill-
ing three men — A s-
tin Edwards, 28, Robert
Meekins, 28, and Michael
Radford, 20 — and injur-
ing four others before flee-
ing. The three killed were
Los Angeles residents.
Two of the dead —

vine described the scene
as “complete chaos” that
night and said it was
hard to tell if the suspect
had intentions of who he
wished to shoot.
Wallace was being held
without bail. If convicted
as charged, Wallace faces
life in prison without the
possibility of parole and
prosecutors could opt to
seek the death penalty,
they said, adding that de-
