We pass a photo shoot, by the water: a skeletal blond woman, a photographer, a band of Cuban men, grinning in matching shirts, all standing in front of a mid-'50s Chevy, powder blue. We all wonder who the model is. Anyone we know? The girls giggle more.

(They played baseball too, but they weren't exactly good at it.) Our Gang could have taken them without breaking a sweat...
Carruth was not one of the three men--Stanley Abraham, Michael Kennedy and William Watkins--believed to be in the car from which shots were fired. But Kennedy's attorney, James Exum, tells TIME that throughout the attack, Carruth was driving his white Ford Expedition directly in front of Adams' car while talking by cell phone to Watkins, whom Kennedy has named as the gunman. And a homeowner in the neighborhood where the wounded woman stopped her car says he overheard Adams telling the police that her "boyfriend" had shot her. "Her composure and ability to talk with us were...
