Testimony [. . .] indicated that the confrontation between Steen and Matthews began when Steen asked “What’s cracking?”
“What’s popping?” Matthews replied.
Steen then shot Matthews. A witness testified at the earlier hearing that Steen’s greeting is used by Crips gang members. Matthews’ reply is used by the Bloods [gang].
Steen is believed to have been a resident of, and captured in, Denby Park.
