Jeanine Copeland was murdered on January 26, 1989, in Fair Oaks, California. She was found shot to death in her home alongside Thomas Probst and Patrick Mungavin; all three victims suffered fatal gunshot wounds. Investigators tied the triple killing to a larger robbery and robbery-related murder spree that crossed California and Arizona.

Authorities arrested James David Majors and Guiseppe Calo in Arizona in connection with the spree. Prosecutors said Majors and Calo had traveled from Arizona to Sacramento intending to purchase methamphetamine; the visit escalated into a violent confrontation that left the three Fair Oaks residents dead. For Copeland, the forensic testimony stated a close-range gunshot entered her right temple and exited the left side of her neck, causing immediate loss of consciousness and death within minutes.

Majors was convicted of first-degree murder and robbery, with the jury finding he personally used a firearm and that special circumstance allegations applied. He was sentenced to death and the California Supreme Court affirmed the judgment.
