The person that shot him was too chicken to face him and ends up shooting him in the back, that's a real coward right there, at least have the bu##s to shoot someone face to face.

Rest in Peace WOOK'S, we all loved you and had a great time sharing stories and hanging out back in the days. You will be missed but not forgotten. You truly believe and loved the BN LIFE.....
Hey Gacho, small words for some one that cant write or spell. Learn how to read and maybe you and your homies wont get deported back to your fu**ed up country. Your probably a Salvie with no papers, that's how the cops get you and your homies to rat out other members. You vatos are dirty ass cholos, dropping dime on everything that happens to avoid deportation.
You will get yours sooner or later just try not to rat anybody out!!!!!!

Just found out while attending another funeral.
Carlos was a cool dude and neighbor. This guy probably knew he couldn't take Carlos without a gun. What a bum!
