Barry Gilton and Lupe Mercado stand accused of tracking their 17-year-old daughter’s pimp, Calvin Sneed, 22, across the state of California and shooting him to death.
The couple allegedly first attempted to kill Sneed in North Hollywood; when that failed, they alleged tried again in Candlestick Park near their home in San Francisco. Sneed was driving when he was struck by a bullet to the head and drove into a parked car. He later died at a local hospital.
Sneed, officials said, was gunned down in his car on June 4 at 2 a.m. by Gilton, who allegedly fired a .40-caliber weapon from a silver Mercedes-Benz SUV.
“We have substantial evidence to believe that this was a premeditated event,” Dist. Atty. George Gascon said Thursday.
