Edwin Quintanilla, known by the gang moniker Little Crooks, was fatally shot on July 2, 2008, in San Diego during a confrontation between members of the Shelltown gang and a rival crew. The encounter escalated after Quintanilla challenged a rival, who then produced a gun and shot Quintanilla. Quintanilla was with fellow gang member Moises Lopez at the time; Moises fled the scene and later became the target of retaliation.

The shooting was tied to ongoing gang rivalries in the area and was one of several violent incidents involving Shelltown members around that period. The death heightened tensions and contributed to further fatalities and community violence while authorities investigated the incident and its connections to broader gang activity.

If anyone has information about the shooting, the people involved, or the Shelltown rivalry in 2008, please share what is known.
