If they are associated with rapper Y.G he would likely have the means to outfit the car and get good weapons etc.

Plus it says cops aren't sure if they shot the victim before the chase intentionally or during the chase by accident.

Could be the cops rolled up on them rolling dirty etc and the guys facing life sentences etc if they pulled over and got caught / being riders and just went loco like you said to get away

Must of been a good getaway driver and I wonder id the car was turbo'd etc damn they did it escalade too. Do you think they had a second vehicle or all fled on foot once they got to Inglewood. It was night so it was dark
