After that, Win slowed down and went behind Cloonan. Eriz took out his gun and opened fire on Cloonan's car and they sped off. Cloonan didn't realize that a shot had even been fired until her son complained that his tummy hurt.
Cloonan pulled over and realized he had a chest wound. He was pronounced dead at 8:39 a.m.
