Per PROD which was removed by an IP without an actual explanation. This received about two days of news coverage and disappeared (WP:NOTNEWS). No WP:LASTING impact can be sufficiently determined and, just to clarify, this was an act of street violence. It is tragic but not notable. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 17:16, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

LASTING is an indication of significance, but it is not required. Some crimes - hot this one, but some crimes - attract extraordinary coverage for a brief period and when they do we keepthe article because WP:NOTTEMPORARY.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:25, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- an unremarkable crime; no lasting significance or societal impact. K.e.coffman (talk) 22:36, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete motive unclear except that terrorism has been ruled out. But whether motive was personal, criminal-gang related, or something else, coverage seems limited to day of the shooting. Feel free to flag me to reconsider if something like an interesting motive attracts greater media coverage.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:23, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
