Jules Vasquez reporting
At 10:00 this morning, Carlos Abraham known as "Zimbab" was at this tyre shop on Lakeview Street - which is in the territory of the Ghost Town Crips.
The 43 year old had been parked there for a while where was reportedly there to find out about the tyre business. It is near to where his brother lives and he was reportedly talking to his nephew when a gunman pulled up and shot him as he sat in his SUV, an Infinity QX4.
Abraham was shot in the cheek, twice in the neck, and in the chest. One of the men from the tyre shop took the driver's seat and rushed him to the KHMH. This morning police processed the vehicle, and found that one of the bullets which entered his chest, penetrated his body, the seat, and ended up shattering this back window.
Police were in the area when the shooting occurred and managed to apprehend the shooter who was reportedly using a 9mm pistol.
And while he is detained pending charges, Police are bracing for retaliation.
That person remains detained and is expected to be charged for attempted murder.
As for Abraham, reports tell us that the father of two is conscious, alert and talking - but remains under very close observation at the KHMH.
Abraham, or "Zimbab" as he is known is considered a General in the George Street Gang - even though he no longer lives on George Street and claims to have moved on from that life.
