In early 1968, Alprentice "Bunchy" Carter, a one time gang member and new convert to Islam and the Panther Party, formed the Southern chapter of the Panthers in the Watts community of Los Angeles. The party was gaining members every week; the Breakfast for Children project and other community services were having a positive effect, but a rival group called Organization US, led by Ron Karenga vied for recruits. At a Black Student Meeting at UCLA's Campbell Hall, the two groups got into a heated argument, and Carter and his associate John Jerome Huggins were shot and killed. The Panthers always maintained that the shootings were planned and that the US group had carried them out for the FBI.
