FORTWORTH, Texas -- A Fort Worth gangbanger pops his trunk, pitches a pudgy plastic bag packed with white powder onto the pavement and signals for the buyer in the adjacent vehicle.
Almost immediately, the rival gang members open fire. The gunshots appear as bright firecrackers, bursting from the barrels of dueling guns.
The banger throws the narcotic into the trunk, jumps into a four-door sedan and rivals fire as the vehicle peels out.
Late-night surveillance footage at a local gas station captures the six-minute drug trade on Berry Street in June 2005.
