IN. ♪ ABSOLUTELY DO. AND I’M NOT
GOING TO COMMENT ON THAT AT
THIS TIME.
>> IT INTERVAL. IT JOHNSON
REALLY IS. MARCEL.
>> RIGHT. MYSELF IS DROPPED.
>> IS THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT
INVESTIGATE BALL. THEY GET ALL
THIS POINT.
>> THERE’S NO NEED TO
INVESTIGATE FOOTBALL IS THIS
HAS NOTHING TO DO THAT.
>> IT WAS GANG RELATED TO THIS
POINT. DOES IT SEEM?
>> IT SEEMS LIKE THERE WAS A
TARGET NOT SEEMS LIKE THERE
WAS DEFINITELY TARGETED. HE
WAS CAR WAS TARGETED. IT WAS
CALLOUS. THEY DIDN’T CARE WHO
THEY SHOT IN THE CAR DIDN’T
MATTER. SO I WOULD SAY AS A
GROUP AS PLAYED, I WON’T SAY
IT’S GOING TO BE THIS POINT.
