It’s Not A Gangsta Memorial Until Someone Gets Shot

Myers earned his moniker because his mom claimed he was just standing out there on the street eating a sandwich that the off duty officer mistook for a gun.  She never did explain why her son ran from the neighborhood patrol vehicle or how he fired on the off duty officer with his sandwich.
