The most famous death was that of Meredith Hunter. Hunter, an 18-year-old African American, became involved in an altercation with some Hells Angels and drew a long-barreled revolver. It is disputed whether or not Meredith drew his weapon before or after he was stabbed the first time. He was stabbed eighteen times in total and kicked to death during the Rolling Stones' performance. His graphic death near the stage was clearly captured on film by three separate cameras. The killer, Alan Passaro, was arrested and tried for murder in the summer of 1972, but was acquitted after a jury concluded he acted in self-defense because Hunter was carrying a handgun, drew it, and allegedly pointed it at the stage. It was also alleged that Hunter was under the influence of methamphetamines.
