Section 187 (often referenced in slang simply as 187) of the California Penal Code defines the crime of murder. The number is commonly pronounced by reading the digits separately as "one-eight-seven", or "one-eighty-seven", rather than "one hundred eighty-seven."

The number "187" has been used by gangs throughout the United States as a synonym for murder; this usage has been reported as far away as Florida, Wisconsin, and even the United Kingdom

Police term for cold blooded homicide. What the subject of The Cabbie Homicide is serving life for as the subject in the beginning of the narrative was tried for after icing his wife. The term was coined in the California correctional system as Wikipedia relates. It became prevalent in Gangsta Rap as Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre used this on their lyrics. The term pigeon in this community is a sexual putdown as chickenhead also is. The Cabbie Homicide was noted for some of the putdowns such as junkie and druggie towards the murderers.
The term 187 became noticed in California; but showed up in a ganstra rap track "Deep Cover" which was the track Dr. Dre wrote for a soundtrack, Snoop Dogg snarled the line "187 for an undercover cop." Body Count when Ice-T did Copkiller pissed off everyone including Bush 41 with the snarl "Die Pig Die, Die Die Die, Die Pig Die."
