The gang signs and flashing cash are a hint about what mattered to him, who his associates were and thus who probably killed him.

He looks a little older than 14.

Definitely got that thug thing going on, and at 14 he is old enough to be doing the bad stuff. And young enough to do the dealing and killing so as to avoid major jail time (still juvy). But - it is sad that this kid had to live in such a lousy environment with lousy people.

The sign on the left looks like a “b” for Bloods and fits his red clothing. The sign on the right looks like something I just saw Marshawn Lynch flashing in a photo of him doing community outreach overseas. I think some of these pro guys try to get smart (like Lynch might be flashing a ML), or perhaps it is a neighborhood sign (Lynch is from Oakland) - but it all looks so stupid.

My son was going through that phase awhile ago flashing stupid signs for photos. He went on a church mission trip to California years ago - and I told him to knock it off - that might be enough to get killed for in some neighborhoods.
