On January 26, 1991, Robin Lee Archer, through the acts of his cousin and three accomplices, shot to death Billy Coker.
Archer was fired from his job at an auto parts store in March 1990. The following January, Archer convinced his 17-year-old cousin James Patrick Bonifay, to kill the clerk he blamed for his having been fired.
On the night of January 26, 1990, Bonifay and accomplice Clifford Barth each shot the clerk from outside the store. They then crawled into the store through the parts window. Bonifay then shot the clerk twice in the head execution-style as he lay on the floor begging for his life. Archer later refused to pay Bonifay because he had killed the wrong clerk.
