The community has been grappling with escalating tensions since February when a prominent cult figure known as Lucky was slain by a rival faction, intensifying the cycle of violence and fear among residents. As a result, many businesses, particularly drinking establishments, games centers, and shops, have remained shuttered, fearing reprisal attacks.
