“A 16-year-old boy shot inside a vehicle Thursday in S***** R***** succumbed to a critical gunshot wound to the head Saturday morning, according to the S***** R***** Police Department…
…Police said the shooting occurred Thursday at 10:30 p.m. in the **** block of W******* Drive. Officers who arrived on the scene found three unidentified people outside a vehicle and [the boy] inside.
Investigators believe the homicide is gang related, and authorities are asking anyone with information to call the gang crimes team…”
There is a memorial set up on the street corner. The shooting took place about 400 feet away from my apartment. Neither of the boys in the house heard it and I was in Sacramento and missed it. But we drove by the site twice yesterday and I was filled with sadness and fear. Of course, there is a strong possibility that he was part of a gang and the people who shot him were part of a gang as well. But there is also the possibility that he wasn’t.
I knew we didn’t live in the best neighborhood. But I had no idea that a shooting would take place right outside. We are moving again in April. And I am sorry that we have to wait that long.
p.s. the clip came from the SFPost.

That IS freaky. But check this out, One of Phoenix’s “Serial Killers” has actually um, killed several people at different spots, all within 2 miles of our apartment over here. And this the um, really really bad one.
So yeah. But it’s like… who wants to be a prisoner in their house.
