It does seem like this was NOT a random act, or grievous error.
But the kid was only 13! If he was 17, I’d think maybe some gambling thing. But 13 seems a bit young for that angle to make sense.

“But 13 seems a bit young for that angle to make sense.”
A lot of gangs use minors to run their drugs, guns and money around because the cops won’t put them in jail. Maybe he skimmed or snitched.
Don’t fool yourself, gangs recruit young. We have no idea what the rest of the story is here... but it’s clear there is more to it.
Please be clear, I am not suggesting he was a member, I am simply pointing out, the idea that it’s only older teens involved in gangs is very wrong.
Whenever the trial starts, the why he was targeted will come out.
