At the same time, the bus network has been undergoing a full-electric conversion, gradually swapping out all of the diesel buses for electric buses.

Gang members in the clique stayed friendly with the presumed turncoat and promised forgiveness. A meeting was arranged in Adelphi. The man was picked up, driven to Hyattsville, walked into a wooded area and fatally shot by two gang members. One of them was promoted.
