The report says they found shell casings from “9 mm Luger” rounds. Does the Luger use a special 9 mm ammo that can be identified from the spent brass? And, where would a gangbanger get a Luger? From his grandpa, the U-Boat captain?

Some 9mm casings (I forget which manufacturer) are stamped 9mm Luger

The 9x19, also called the 9mm Luger or the 9mm Parabellum, was adopted by the German Army in 1908 as the cartridge for the famous Luger pistol. It is possible to walk into most stores that carry ammo and ask for 9mm or 9mm Luger or 9x19 and they will know what you mean.
