The custom-lowrider car parts supply industry is very lucrative. Most are in it for the money--and where there is money, there is inevitably competition.
Steve Miller and his father, Leonard Miller, owned and operated a company in this industy called Lowrider Hydraulics in San Jose, Calif. David Lopez and his brothers, Ruben and Efram, operated a company called Red's Hydraulics in Long Beach, Calif.
The two companies were fierce competitors and San Jose Police say David Lopez and his brother Ruben were involved in a business dispute with Steve Miller. It seems Reuben Lopez wanted to be the king of the lowrider industry--and would stop at nothing to get there. Miller had no desire to be the lowrider czar like Lopez did, he simply wanted a level playing field. But when Miller challenged some of Lopez's practices, the wannabe lowrider honcho was infuriated. Cops think the Lopez brothers decided to resolve the conflict with murder.
Detectives say David and his brother Ruben hired three men from Los Angeles and sent them to San Jose to kill Steve Miller...........
Hitmen Kill The Wrong Man
Overview
Steve Miller, owned a small lowrider busniess with his father, Leonard in San Jose, Ca.
Detectives say David and his brother, Ruben, hired three men from Los Angeles and sent them to San Jose to kill Steve Miller. On the morning of March 3, 1997, one of the men entered Lowrider Hydraulics and asked to see the owner. When Steve's father, 60-year-old Leonard Miller walked out to the counter, he was gunned down. The intended target, Steve Miller, was not at work that morning.
Within weeks, the three contract killers were arrested. The hitmen implicated David and Ruben Lopez as the men who had hired them to kill Steve Miller. But before police could arrest them, the Lopez brothers rounded up their family and disappeared from Long Beach.
Since then, various tipsters say they've spoted the Lopez brothers at various car shows. Police on the case say the tips are helpful, but are missing one thing -- the license plate numbers of the car's that the brothers are showcasing.
