A Parkwood skollie paid the ultimate price on Monday after he allegedly robbed the relative of his own gang boss and “was taken out”.
According to a police source, the 36-year-old man was shot and killed in Parkwood Avenue shortly after 7am by the Americans gang after an alleged hit was put out by the gang boss.
“That guy himself was an American and was allegedly killed by his own mense.
“He was released from prison last week after being arrested for armed robbery and was just up to his old tricks again.”
The source says over the weekend two victims went to Grassy Park Police Station to report the skollie for holding them up at gunpoint and stealing valuables including cellphones, jewellery and cash.
