    Was probably targeted. Random drive bys aren’t a thing outside of specific cities but it’s a time honored way to wack a dude.

      Random drive bys have never been much of a thing. They usually target a rival gang hangout hoping to get a gang member, or often just to stir up fear. But yeah, seems this guy pissed someone off.

      I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that they mistook him for someone else.
