The State - News from May 22, 1989

Jurors who convicted former Los Angeles Policeman Steven Homick of murdering a Las Vegas socialite and two others decided that the death penalty should be imposed for each of the three killings. The Las Vegas jury found Homick guilty May 12 in the killing of oil heiress Bobbie Jean Tipton, her maid, Marie Bullock, and deliveryman James Myers. Homick, 48, was convicted in the slayings that occurred Dec. 11, 1985. Prosecutors said he went to Tipton’s southeast Las Vegas home to rob her of $1 million in jewelry he thought she had at the residence. Homick has also been charged in the so-called “Ninja” contract slayings of a Los Angeles couple in September, 1985.
