The publication quoted a police source as saying that Staggie was rushed to the hospital by his son after the shooting.
The source also said that Staggie had been concerned about his safety, which would explain the cameras around his house, and that rival gangs had “been after his blood” for some time.
The source further said that considering that the driver of the vehicle was unscathed after the shooting, it was clear that Staggie was the target.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, Ballie Tips, the leader of the Hard Livings, was fatally shot in the head twice.
