-That area is known territory for a ruthless street gang called Primera Flats [PFx3]. Given that the victim was a "documented gang member" he was murdered for either being a rival gang member in the wrong area or.. possibly he was from the Primera Flats Gang & knew the face of his killer(s)..

He was a documented gang member from Primera Flats...That's the life of a gang member, either they end up getting life in prison or killed in the streets...

How does the taunting comment above make it in here. (Papas Fritas) Yet a handful of my more insightful comments are straight-up ignored.
