Whn you sell dope it can happen. These players aren’t in the business of sharing or caring…
Needless to say.
Have the cash or get the bash !
Drug dealers and all of their clients know the rules. When you wheel and deal, you can almost always expect something could go wrong putting yourself at risk for anything.
@ J, NPC: I believe the point is that the homicide was drug related, as opposed to a robbery, domestic violence, random gang stuff, or another type of altercation.
Regarding previous comments, how do you want ESCO to word it? was it bad narcotics, lack of agreed money or some other grudge that caused the violence? All these drug dealers carry stacks of cash, the risk of getting killed comes with the territory
A young man is dead. It went bad….needless to say
“……….believe it was a marijuana drug deal gone bad.” If no one is killed is it a good drug deal or drug deal gone good?
