“The medicinal marijuana program that voters authorized years ago has been hijacked by underground drug dealing criminals who are resorting to violence in order to control their piece of the action,” Baca said to the Times.

The report says that according to Sheriff Lt. Pat Nelson, it was victims Pirooz Moussazadeh and Bernard Khalili who were engaged in the resale of high-grade medical marijuana from local pot dispensaries on the illegal street market, and that the brother of one of the men, Shahriar Moussazadeh, was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Suspect Harold Yong Park previously worked at a dispensary, according to the report, and didn’t bring enough money to complete the intended transaction.
