On August 1, 1942 a 22‑year‑old Mexican‑American man was stabbed to death at a party in Los Angeles. White residents seized the killing as proof of a crime wave, prompting police to round up about 600 young Mexican‑American men—most in the flamboyant Zoot Suits. The controversial trial and sensational press inflamed existing racial tension, leading months later to the infamous Zoot Suit Riots, one of the city’s bloodiest eruptions of violence.
