Gang Explosion
[By Michael Letwin]
Howard Morrison, the young black man convicted of the shooting of Robert Brisco one year ago, was himself shot while standing on an apartment balcony, January 17, in Los Angeles. He was apparently the victim of a gang vendetta.
Morrison’s victim, Brisco, had the bad luck of jogging around the track when Morrison suddenly opened fire. Morrison was arrested and released after 90 days. The talk in the streets after the shooting was that Morrison would die for it. Sure enough, Morrison’s death came just 5 days before the anniversary of Brisco’s death.
