Case Murder Lee Tyshawn

This is exactly why getting involved with gangs in any sort of way puts you almost in a 'doomed' situation - they'd kill you AND your family, and if not they'd kill one of your own family members and use maximum intimidation to get you to do what they want. On top of that, if you try to report to the police they'd end up attempting to kill you and if not you, your family as I said again. This is a repeating, messed up situation that happens all over the world and it must be stopped - but there's a huge web of connecting crimes when it comes to gangs and it's not so easy to halt this process.
