Motive?
Simple.
He was murdered because he was white.

I’m gonna take two wild guesses. Both are probably wrong, but I’m in a typing mood. The more probable one is first.
1. This was a “disrespect” thing. The victim might have looked at the shooters the wrong way, or said the wrong thing. No real offense was meant by the victim, but thugs can be set off by any old thing.
2. It was a drug deal that went bad. In the urban high school where I taught, there were maybe two murders in the area per year that fit this pattern. White kid gets shot in a parking lot by black kid. It was always a drug deal gone bad.
