MARGULIES, ACTING P. J.
Defendants Willie Eugene Bradley, IV, and Melvin Delarence Mason participated in an attempted robbery, during which one of the robbery victims was shot and killed. A jury convicted defendants of first degree felony murder. On appeal, defendants contend the evidence was insufficient to establish they acted with the “reckless indifference to human life” required for felony murder pursuant to Penal Code section 189, subdivision (e)(3). They further assert the trial court erred by failing to instruct on robbery as a lesser included offense to felony murder. We disagree and affirm the judgment.
I. BACKGROUND
Defendants and at least one other individual, Daniel Glass, attempted to rob L.V. and her cousin, Robby Poblete, while they were waiting in their vehicle to purchase marijuana. During the course of that robbery, Poblete was shot and killed.
