What was meant to be a child's birthday celebration descended into horror on Saturday evening when gunfire ripped through a Stockton banquet hall linked to Filipino gangster rapper Nano and his Muddy Boyz circle, leaving four people dead, including three children, and 11 others wounded.
The mass shooting, now among the city's deadliest attacks in recent years, has violently exposed ongoing fears about gang presence in Stockton and intensified demands for accountability after families saw a joyful gathering turn into a scene of chaos and terror.
