Two Theories One theory was that Weiss and Murray were marked for death and that O'Brien simply happened to be preheat when they were ambushed and was an innocent \lctim of gang- land vengeance. Another theory was that. O‘Brien was the real target of the gang guns because rivals of Saltis and Koncil feared that O'Brien would involve them in his attempt to save his clients from the TOpC.
