Deputy District Attorney Christina Arrollado alleged that Ector and others went to Emerald Hills Park because they believed rival gang members responsible for a fellow member's killing would be at the park. Spelmon, who was not a gang member, was working on his car with friends when he was shot, the prosecutor said. Ector and his co-defendant, 21-year-old Kenneth Earl Brooks, are also charged with Abdalla's killing, which was the result of a plan to "locate and shoot and kill rival gang members'' over the course of several days last year, according to the prosecution. Arollado said that plan resulted in gunshots fired at a Bankers Hill Airbnb property where the defendants allegedly believed rival members were staying. The defendants then allegedly ventured into rival gang territory, where Abdalla was shot.
