Ok- speculation with a sound hypothesis. The man was either going to shoot a rival member opposed to him and was ambushed. meaning someone gave the rival a heads up...or.... gang initiation backired. Guarentee, we will never know. The police will doctor the report and finding so that it decreases the effect of crime or crime-related activity in the area.
