At around 9 p.m. on November 30, 2003, George Lowe, age 63, heard loud noises outside his home in St. Petersburg, Florida. When he went to investigate, he found four boisterous young men shouting and pounding on cars. One of them, James Moore, had just turned 20, and the group was celebrating his birthday.

Moore and another member of the group, James Ganoe III, participated in the fray as Lowe was repeatedly kicked in the legs and back. The fourth young man, who was not identified in news accounts, opted to stay out of the altercation.
One of Lowe's neighbors, longtime friend Melvin Spaulding, 71, witnessed the fracas from his trailer. Fearing that Lowe was in serious danger, Spaulding grabbed a .22-caliber hand gun and rushed to the scene. He repeatedly ordered the three assailants to stop beating Lowe, but they ignored him.
