A devastating mass shooting at a crowded Stockton banquet hall has left the community reeling. On November 29, around 9 pm, gunfire erupted at the venue on Lucile Avenue, resulting in four fatalities and ten injuries. Authorities believe the attack may have been targeted, with the victims including both children and adults. Unverified reports suggest that gangsta rappers MBnel and Fly Boy Doughy from Stockton, who had gathered to celebrate a 6-year-old girl's birthday, may have been the intended targets. While these claims remain unconfirmed, sources within law enforcement and the community have corroborated this information. MBnel, a 28-year-old American rapper of Filipino heritage, has been recognized for his debut album 'Born To Win.' He has a significant following on Instagram and has performed in various venues across Northern California and the US. In 2020, MBnel was arrested during a gang investigation in Stockton, alongside a prior assassination attempt. Initial investigations by the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office suggest connections to local criminal groups, potentially gang-related. However, the precise motive behind the attack remains unclear. With no arrests made and the shooter or shooters still at large, concerns about additional violence in the city are growing. Community leaders are calling for immediate action to prevent such tragedies in the future. Vice Mayor Christina Fugazi urged residents to 'protect our children' and demanded stricter gun regulations and improved policing. As the community mourns the loss of innocent lives, residents are taking to social media to demand answers and action. The search for the offenders is ongoing, with investigators reviewing surveillance footage and witness accounts. The Stockton community is left to pick up the pieces and demand change in the wake of this senseless tragedy.
