When Richie shot the woman in the car


Why did Gino say that the killing was random? Can you explain to me?

If I'm recalling right, Richie shot Bobby over the latter sleeping with Richie's girlfriend. Also, Bobby is a cop involved in drug busts whereas Richie is a dealer who gets high off his own supply. So he had two clear motivations (personal revenge and removing potential obstacles for his criminal career) for killing Bobby.

Richie shot the woman because she honked her horn at his car for not moving. It was clearly a spur of the moment decision. If he was willing to shoot someone over something so trifling, then he poses a danger to any random civilian who just so happens to momentarily irritate him.
