The 4 Trey Crips and 40 Avalon Crips have been enemies for over 40 years, which is especially concerning given that their neighborhoods are separated by only one city block. Most recently a known member of the 4 Treys named Mr. Chino was shot and killed, and when a 4 Trey gets shot the first finger is always pointed at the 40 Avalons. Malik needs to act fast to get these rivals to talk before any retaliation happens. Unfortunately, peace can only come when both sides want it, and the 4 Treys aren’t ready to talk to the men they think shot their friend. With retaliation looming, Malik needs to find a way to change their mind before the death toll rises.

So it’s time for Malik to step in before someone else gets shot or killed.
