Ambush at the Harlem Junkyard

The Ambush at the Harlem Junkyard was an open confrontation that began when the trio of Chico Diaz, Shameek Smith and Dante Chapman hijacked an arms deal between men acting on behalf of Domingo Colon and Stokes Crime Family.
==Background==
Diamondback managed to obtain a big amount of assault rifles designed by Hammer Industries. He set up a business deal with Cottonmouth to sell rifles to Colon Crime Family and other criminal organizations in Harlem. Stokes contacted with his friend Domingo Colon and arranged a meeting between their men to finish the deal. They agreed to met at the local junkyard at night while their bosses discuss current deal in Harlem's Paradise.
However, Dante Chapman who worked in Harlem's Paradise as a bartender heard about a deal. He informed his friend Shameek Smith who decided to ambush them and steal all their money. Chapman said he was sick to miss his work in the club while Smith got the weapons and got Chico Diaz from the Pop's Barber Shop. Together, they headed to junkyard where gangsters already were.Luke Cage: 1.01: Moment of Truth

Members of the Stokes Crime Family and Colon Crime Family arrived to the junkyard in order to trade off the weapons and money as per confirmation from their bosses.
