Jason Johnson-Rivera a/k/a “Ouda” and Abrante fired at least five rounds from a 9mm handgun into another vehicle as part of a dispute over drug territory. Shortly after they fired on their drug rivals and fled the scene, they drove their vehicle against traffic and through a red light, crashing into another passenger vehicle and a school bus, after which they fled the scene on foot.
