History
Shortly before Mike went to Leo's house to question him, Brother Sam had been shot three times in what appeared to be a robbery gone bad. Homicide Division considered that the Locos blamed Sam for the disappearance of their boss, Julio Benes.

Leo was revealed as the new shot caller so Mike went to his house to question him. However, Leo ran back inside, and retrieved his shotgun. Mike took cover behind his car and pulled out his own weapon. Leo started shooting, and Mike returned fire, along with two patrol officers, who had arrived for back.

The night before the shooting, Dexter attempted to kill Leo himself, but there was a party going on at his house. Dexter went back the next morning and waited in his car for Leo to show his face. To Dexter's surprise, the police arrived on scene and derailed his plan.

Casualties

 * Leo Hernandez - The leader of the Locos who was killed by a combination of Mike's and the patrol officers' bullets.

Fate of Shooters
Leo was killed the minute he opened fire on the police. No police officer was injured.
