## Resource

Two teens, aged 14 and 16, face murder charges after a botched gang hit that killed Marco Tapia — allegedly due to mistaken identity. Police say they staged vehicles and supplied the weapon, and now also face charges for gang involvement, illegal firearm possession, theft, and arson. Both were denied bail and are set for court. The case underscores how quickly violence spirals out of control — and the legal fallout is just beginning. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
