From the PI.com:



Brandon R. Shell, who prosecutors say admitted to being a member of the West Seattle-based West Side Street Mobb gang, pleaded guilty in October to unlawful gun possession charges.


Shell, 27, was arrested following a June 6, 2008, shooting that left one man injured in the 1900 block of East Pine Street. 


According to documents filed in a separate state case, Seattle police were called to the shooting location after several witnesses saw [Shell...]fire 18 shots while leaning out the window of a moving car.


Police searching nearby for the shooter stopped a car carrying Shell. The car seemed to have been damaged by a ricocheting bullet.


Investigators say they found a 9 mm pistol on the vehicle's floorboards as well as about 30 grams of crack cocaine.



Shell received a four year sentence for unlawful possession of a firearm.
