The man was a documented gang member, police said

Non-descriptive, unless the writer means the man was a citizen, compared to an undocumented illegal alien gang member. Or does this mean the guy was an illegal gang member? I know the city of Chicago needs tax revenues to fund its operations, so maybe they sell gang licenses like a cab medallion.

Probably means he has an arrest record which shows gang membership. He also probably has enough to keep him in for 50 years but he is a protected species of illegal thug and keeps getting released.

They could become a very special collectors item!
Enemy tribes would attempt to collect all of them.

Like capture the flag, but more intense.

doesn’t seem fair that the gang members have to be documented but the illegals don’t ....
