I just discovered via another Web site that Cochise's death in this movie was just fiction and created for "dramatic effect." I always wondered how those three guys could do that to him and manage to get away with it.

Yes. Cooley High was a fictional movie.
It was from writer Eric Monte, based on his experiences growing up in Chicago in the '60s.
It was a true to life fiction that soooo close to home to us years later with my family Ben Wilson, #1high school basketball player in the nation in 1984 at Simeon H.S. with my cousin Tim Bankston, gunned down outside the school while waking with his girl

Yeah, I remember that tragedy so well. It was so stupid. Ben accidentally bumped into some guy while walking down the street and said "excuse me," and then the punk pulled out a gun and shot him. Ridiculous.
I remember that Ben became a teen father shortly before his death. Whatever became of his child?

Fictitious stuff happens in fiction all the time.
