They never learn, do they

Rico remembers the original news story, over 25 years ago now, when a Japanese woman and her husband were supposedly shot on the street in LA by 'street robbers'.
Turns out, of course, that the husband shot her (and shot himself in the leg, always a dicey proposition) for the 1.4 million in insurance. This is reminiscent of that other shooting (of which Rico can't remember the details, sorry) where the guy shot his wife in their car and then wounded himself, blaming some innocent black guy...
