Troy Gill, the 13-year-old Brooklyn boy shot to death on his way home from a Nets game, left behind a critical clue to his unsolved murder – the word “Drench” tattooed on his body, a high-ranking police source said Wednesday.
Detectives believe Troy’s link to the violent Drench street gang, emblazoned on his body in ink, led to his death last
Thursday.
“Whether he was in a gang or affiliated, he was targeted,” the police source said. “We don’t know if the other gang was looking specifically for him or [just for] anyone in that gang, but this wasn’t a stray bullet shooting.”
Cops believe Troy may have been shot in retaliation for an earlier clash involving a rival street gang. Investigators are focusing their attention on a white Jeep seen fleeing the scene and were tracking the movements of the mystery vehicle both before and after the shooting.
