I was referring to the specific shooting to the two teenagers

But after looking it up it seems like there were around 4 shootings in the zone around that time?

Ah right, I forgot two people were shot at that incident, one killed. That was where it was my suspicion that private security connected to businesses or the city was involved. A few people that posed as protesters but were hired by the city/some org to co-opt the protest were seen cleaning the scene and talking to police-aligned private security the next morning at the location of the shooting, police didn't show up til hours after and never investigated.

It was that shooting that they used as impetus to shut down the zone, separately there was also a random parked car firebombed in a very suspicious manner on the same block some night soon after.
