He and Chan created a scheme to rob a computer parts dealer in Anaheim, California and then recruited four other persons as part of the plot.〔 In court Chan said that Choe helped recruit the other participants.〔 The prosecutor said that Chan created a plan to kill Tay when he learned that Tay was lying about his name and age.〔 The suspects feared that Tay would betray them.〔 The Tay family had hired a private investigator who said that Chan had attacked Tay partly due to issues over a girl who had refused to date Chan. The police said that this theory is not true.〔Gewertz, Catherine. "Image in Death Doesn't Match Stuart Tay's Life." ''Los Angeles Times''. January 10, 1993. (1 ).
