Harry Sassounian
Harry M. Sassounian, also known as Hampig Sassounian, is serving a life sentence for the 1982 assassination of Turkish Consul General Kemal Arikan. He murdered Kemal Arikan at a street intersection in Los Angeles.
== Assassination ==
Arikan was gunned down in his car by two gunmen while waiting at a red light on the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Comstock Street in the Westwood area of Los Angeles. President Ronald Reagan condemned the murder as "an apparent act of terrorism".〔(Ronald Reagan. Statement on the Assassination of Turkish Consul General Kemal Arikan, January 28th, 1982 )〕
Sassounian, hailing from a family of Lebanese Armenian emigres, was identified by witnesses as one of the two gunmen. During the trial, the prosecutors indicated that Sassounian "was motivated to kill Arikan by vengeance for the Ottoman Empire’s genocide of an estimated million Armenians between 1915 and 1923."
The jury determined that Sassounian, an Armenian immigrant formerly of Pasadena, California, shot Arikan to death, on January 28, 1982 at 9:40am, and particularly that he singled out the victim because of the victim's nationality.〔(PEOPLE v. SASSOUNIAN (1986) 182 CA3d 361 )〕 Sassounian was sentenced to life in prison; because the jury determined that the killing targeted Arikan based on his nationality, Sassounian was given no chance of parole.〔(New York Times. Assassin Gets Life Term. ) June 16, 1984〕
