Sacramento Massacre Was probably Crips vs Blood
2022-04-08
[LATimes] Sacramento police said Wednesday that it appears at least five shooters fired guns during Sunday’s massacre in downtown, which killed six people and injured 12.

Officials are still trying to determine the motive for the violence but said in a statement, "... it is increasingly clear that gang violence is at the center of this tragedy. While we cannot at this time elaborate on the precise gang affiliation of individuals involved, gangs and gang violence are inseparable from the events that drove these shootings."..

A law enforcement source said that Smiley Martin and his brother are associated with a Crips gang while others involved have ties to a Bloods gang that historically is a rival.

#3  I don't rule out a Mexican Gang component, as there was Hispanic tagging graffiti on a Hispanic themed bar proximate to the event and the video of the scuffle that preceded by only a few minutes in the same area had clear Hispanic and Wakandan participants.
