Three men and one woman await trial for a triple homicide on the Navajo Nation.
Michael Johnson, Eugina Cowboy, Robert Darcy Manus and Chuck Nahkai are accusing of murdering three people in November 2005. The crime took place near the Hogback Chapter House in Hogback, New Mexico.
Johnson is considered the ringleader of the crime. He allegedly set up a methamphetamine deal with one of the victims, Bobby Wayne Fulton, because he believed Fulton was infringing on his drug dealing trade.
Once Fulton and the two other victims, Vicki Benally and Lars Yazzie, were lured to the scene, the four defendants allegedly shot them execution style.
