Suspect Trevor Green is identified as a member of the Chopper City gang, where he went by the name "T2." The Nov. 2021 Jasper Wu shooting is one of three shootings where Green reportedly flew to the Bay Area from Atlanta days before the crime and left soon after. Investigators say they found his sister's DNA on cartridges located on the freeway. The same type of ammunition was linked to a San Francisco shooting in March 2022. An attempted murder in May 2021 was allegedly the work of Green and another Chopper City gang member, Ivory Bivins, known as "Weez." Bivins has also been arrested for the Jasper Wu shooting. He owned the car that witnesses described. Investigators believe he was driving it when Jasper Wu was shot.
The other car involved in the shootout contained two members of the Eddy Rock gang, Keison Lee and Johnny Ray Jackson Jr. Lee was wounded in the Jasper Wu shooting. Almost exactly one year later, he was killed. Jackson is the final suspect to be arrested for the Jasper Wu shooting.

2:07 p.m.
Gunfire erupts between the two cars. From the left rear passenger seat of the Infiniti, an AK style rifle with 7.62 mm ammunition fires, hitting the Altima and wounding Lee, who is behind the wheel. Jackson, sitting in the front passenger seat of the Altima, returns fire. The rifle fires at least eight shots. "During their gun battle, a 7.62 caliber round fired from Trevor GREEN and BIVINS' vehicle missed the intended target, LEE's vehicle, and traveled across the highway into oncoming Southbound traffic, through the windshield of Jasper Wu's vehicle, struck him in the head, and ultimately lodged in the pillar of the vehicle."
Jasper Wu is fatally wounded.
2:30 p.m.
Lee drives himself to San Francisco General Hospital with a bullet wound in his back. At the hospital, investigators found the Altima "riddled with gunshot holes including an exit round and a spent .40 caliber cartridge case, which indicated the occupants of the Nissan were also discharging firearm(s)." They say Lee admitted he was driving the car during the shooting and tests revealed gunshot residue on his hands. He was arrested on "unrelated warrants" and taken to jail.

Green's phone turns back on near his home in Richmond. He has missed several calls from his sister.
