The authorities were able to investigate the scene of chaos, which included numerous shell casings of ammunition in the streets. They concluded that, at the very minimum, nine firearms were involved in the shootout. Ajala’s friends informed the police that they couldn’t tell the person who shot him.
However, other witnesses mentioned an individual calling Ajala out. As Ajala continued to leave, the man fired a gun and shot the victim. At the moment, the shooter was thought to be Colin Jerrick. An investigation revealed that Colin’s friend was killed a couple of years earlier, and Ajala was a friend of the shooters, which led to a possibility of a split.
