Nice Shots?

This seems like a very....specific....message being sent:

• An overwhelming display of firepower by five gunmen who killed a man on a River North street corner on Wednesday morning was a “gang-on-gang targeted ‘hit’ and not a random act,” according to the local alderman, who said the victim had been targeted in gang shootings before.

  Another man who was in the area, identified as a homeless man who frequents the neighborhood by a resident who spoke with CWB Chicago, is recovering after a bullet intended for the decedent struck him in the foot.

  At about 3:20 a.m., five men pulled up to the corner of State and Grand in a newer Honda Accord and hopped out, each masked and armed with either a rifle or a pistol, according to an officer who reviewed surveillance video. All five immediately began shooting at their intended target, a 30-year-old multi-time convicted felon who has not only been convicted of gun possession multiple times, but has also been questioned in connection with at least one murder, according to a law enforcement source. Dozens of shots were fired and police struggled to keep shell casings lying on an office building plaza from blowing away in the wind.

We don't know whether to lament the continued downtown crime trends or be amazed that the shooters only managed to wing one innocent bystander.

Seems like they might have practiced this one. 

Who has the details about the dead guy - was it as deserved as the aldercreature is implying?
