The graffiti included explicit words, as well as their demand for $100,000 from the store owner.

“What the suspects weren’t counting on was the victim was armed too,” said Sgt. Frank Preciado.

The gang members exchanged dozens of shots with the owner, who had two firearms. The news source states that he had a “long gun and an automatic handgun,” but we’re smarter than that.
