Mayflower Street is a gang controlled area and one famous for skirmishes and exchanges of gunfire with police. There was one more this weekend. The CIB Officer Commanding says police responded to the sound of shots being fired and ended up being fired upon:
ASP Alejandro Cowo
"Last night police responded to shot being fired in the Mayflower area. As a result they have a patrol that is located there. They went into the alley on foot and while they were canvassing the area where an alley is located, police observed a male person running away from them. As a result, police set chase after the male person, but lost sight of him. Police continued in the area where upon arrival they saw the same male person coming towards them with a firearm in his hand. Upon seeing the police, he fired several shots in the police direction and the police responded by firing shots at him. The male person was identified as Kyle Chaplin, who police were looking for last night, but he was detained just a while ago. No persons were injured during the exchange of gunfire in the area."
Chaplain is well known to police.
