They ran inside so quickly, the rappers didn't have time to react.Detective Greene went on to say, "These people were shot to kill then, not shot to stop them, these people were shot so they would be dead."When asked Detective Greene would not confirm how many times the young men were shot. He said, "I made a promise to the young man's mother that we wouldn't talk about that."Detective Greene is a man of his word.In a shocking twist, a third man took five bullets and was left to die in a pool of blood. Miraculously, he survived.He then went underground for more than two years. He was terrified that the killer would find him and try to kill him again.
