It’s a horrible, wicked, and brief life here.
“There were three casualties just last night,” he claimed.

According to him, the region is currently in chaos, with people fearing retaliation from competing culture gangs tonight.
“It’s certain that tonight will be bloody,” he said.
Despite all of the homicides in the neighborhood, no one has been apprehended, according to the source.
“The cops are not unaware of it,” he added when asked if they are aware of the alarming scenario. They are well aware of how they operate.”
