Negotiations began peacefully at 19:20, with no shots fired from either side. In this Ghetto area, LEOs are vulnerable to third-party attacks, which have occurred before. Gunfire was heard, but we (Ballas and Bloods) did not engage, as clarified to LEOs at timestamp 1:04. At 1:35, a LEO fired in the air to intimidate us, disregarding the hostage’s safety, yet we maintained negotiations. Throughout, we instructed our members not to shoot and repeatedly warned LEOs (timestamps 11:10, 12:03) to stop firing, as we hadn’t attacked them. At 13:50, we witnessed LEOs shooting at Ballas member, showing disregard for the hostage’s life and ultimately resulting in the hostage’s death (starting 14:02).
