I believe one of the four was executed, others are on death row.

A little clarifcation is in order. Again there is only one other awaiting an execution date. One other has been put to death leaving only Medellin's execution hopefully tonight. A total of three will be executed for the crime.

Six gang members were convicted of the killings. Derrick O'Brien was executed in July 2006. Gang leader Peter Cantu remains on death row. Two others, who were 17 at the time of the crime, had their death sentences commuted to life in prison. The younger Medellin, who was a juvenile, was sentenced to a 40-year prison term.
