Maybe the neighbors got tired of all the drug activity there, and decided to clean up the neighborhood? Just sayin'.

That would be understandable in a normal neighborhood, but searcy st area that kind of "activity" is the norm.

I know nothing of this neighborhood or it's reputation. It certainly does not look like an area one might consider robbing for any significant financial gain. Could it be there was some prior knowledge that a large amount of money might be there? It simply doesn't make any sense to invade a home in a neighborhood that could only be considered far from affluent unless there was reason to believe some extra loot was to be had. It certainly would come as no surprise if something extra-legal was going on at the location. On the other hand, the mopes that perpetrated this crime were very obviously not rocket scientists so utter stupidity cannot be ruled out. Still, I am inclined to strongly suspect the shooters had some knowledge of the place and some expectation that there would be a wad of cash or other commodity of value to them on hand.
