Ricardo Nunez was trimming a tree outside his Echo Park home on a Sunday morning last month when a white truck pulled up and a person inside opened fire, killing the 35-year-old father.
Ray Martinez, the LAPD detective investigating the case, is seeing fewer such fatal drive-by shootings. When Martinez goes behind the yellow tape, he's more commonly working on cases where a gunman has walked straight up to the victim a walk-up shooting.
As gang culture has become less overt, the killings have become more targeted and at the same time more chilling.
"They get to see the whole reaction," Martinez said. "It seems more daring."
Jorja Leap, a UCLA anthropologist who studies gang culture, agreed. "In a walk-up, you see who you're killing," Leap said. "You're going to listen to what they say as you shoot them."

Worshiping the Lord goes hand-in-hand with what I call Christian values.
It’s not possible to live a life consistently pleasing to the Lord without the modifying influence of the Holy Ghost. And the Holy Ghost will not inter until one confesses the Lord Jesus with thy mouth and believes in thy heart that God has raised Him from the dead.
I don't see why they can't. They are terrorizing the general population, so treat 'em like terrorists.
...the fact that the US has slowly, but assuredly moved away from Christian values has brought, in part, this violence and the rise of social disorder...
TV shows now show more “gay - lesbian” shows than what would have ever been allowed 20 yrs ago...there are more shows about witches - the watering down of Christian faith as something to be made fun of...even comedians can say without “bleeps” the word god d@mn...but can’t say other words that are not as offensive....
this present state of affairs is a telling signal of how forces from various levels are tearing down the very structure that built the United States - that is the foundation that was laid by Christ himself....dark days - even with prayers...
Star chamber is the medicine
Bring back the KKKlan. They’ll enforce Christian values.
The Bangers are just trying to do their part to save gas.
So was the shooting random or was Mr. Nunez, the “35-year-old father”, also part of the problem, as in a member of a rival gang? I guess the LA Times will never let us know.
How long before other gangs - such as the Crips, the Bloods, MS-13, the Latin Kings - pick up this tactic as well?
The Watchman Ping List - FReepmail Old Sarge for details!
“A shift in gang tactics means drive-bys are giving way to walk-ups...”
They’re saving fuel and reducing their carbon footprint. That’s just SO socially conscious!

Regarding no. 3: Monica: “Okay anywhere below the neck big boy!” Bill Clinton: “Sounds okay to me me....I mean, who the heck is it gonna hurt.....the dry cleaner!?” Monica: “Oh Bill!!! That’s why I wuvs yoo! You are SO funny!!!!”.
Gang bangers are the last ones I’d have expected to see reducing their carbon footprint from drive-bys to walk-ups.

Our reps can change the laws.
Change the law so gang members get one strike and they’re out. Gang members kill someone and it’s an automatic death sentence - to be carried out within one year.
Yeah, you don’t hear them wanting to talk about the thousands of young black men killed every year, ~93% of whom are killed by other young black men. No, a handful of shootings of black men, many who richly deserved it based on available evidence, by white police, are all that matters.
#blacklivesmatter is one of the most dishonest memes in the public space today.
They are probably already doing it.
