On March 27, during the truce, three Ballas were looking for a hostage for a 24/7 store robbery. The Ballas happened upon April Fooze and her friend France Gall at an ATM near the Alta Street apartments while they were preparing to rob a bank. Once April informed them that she was a member of Chang Gang, O-Dogg dismissed her gang affiliation and they kidnapped her. Once they got to the store, the Ballas realized the store had already been robbed and intended to leave for another one, but cops had arrived and told them they could not take April with them. During the kidnapping, April heard the name "Avon" from the Ballas and thought that was one of their names, but she was mistaken. On March 30, April informed Ramee, Mr. K and Francis of the kidnapping, prompting them to immediately go to Grove Street; with no Ballas around, Mr. K scrubbed off a Ballas tag and tried to see if their houses were unlocked, but they left immediately after hearing police sirens in the distance, as Francis was randomly shooting into Grove Street houses at the same time.
On April 1, while Ramee, Mr. K, Randy, Big D, and Eugene were riding around on motorcycles looking to ambush Corporal Max Muller for a prior reason, Mr. K eventually broke off and went to Grove Street solo, where he saw a Ballas car there. He began damaging the car, and then rendezvoused with the boys after informing them about Ballas possibly being around. They returned to Grove Street where they happened upon four Ballas that had come back from picking up Lucas "Wolfy" Frank from Bolingbroke Penitentiary. Mr. K confronted the Ballas about April's kidnapping, to which the group said they did not know who she was, as it was a different group of Ballas (that they said they barely communicate with) that had did the deed. Nevertheless, Mr. K smacked one Balla to the ground from his bike as the others ran away while he shot at them with his uzi; another Balla was knocked down as well. Big D was shot off of K's bike as K drove out of the cul-de-sac to reposition and finish off the other two Ballas. A game of cat and mouse ensued as Ramee, Randy, K, and Eugene got on roofs looking for the other two, with Randy eventually spotting one in the canals, to which he gunned down and robbed. Ramee told Eugene to retrieve Big D's body, but Eugene was then gunned down by Fredo Sanchez, the last Balla, from a roof while doing so. K subsequently spotted him behind a house near "The Boss" and tried to find him. After not initially seeing him, K was shot down while getting back on his bike, leaving Double R to take him out. Ramee subsequently spotted him near the train tracks and shot at him, to which Ramee then pressed his position and traded shots with him between rooftops. As Randy came around the corner on a bike, Ramee hopped down and spotted the Balla attempting to heal his wounds, to which Randy and Ramee gunned him down at the same time. After they confirmed Fredo was the last Balla, they took Eugene, K, and Big D to Pillbox. This was the first CG-Ballas shootout since the battles with Street Team weeks earlier. Randy, K and Big D later met up with April while she was hanging out with friends at Burger Shot for her birthday and informed her they had avenged her kidnapping.
Shortly after the shootout, Dreyvon Cartier and Mona Sanchez woke up, and the Ballas conferred on how to respond, with them agreeing not to escalate and consider the shootout "blood for blood", i.e. justified retaliation for April's kidnapping that did not warrant more war. Dreyvon contacted Street Team associate Daph Lilith asking to get into contact with CG higher-ups, to which he was referred to Jaylen. Jaylen called K and gave him Dreyvon's number. K called Dreyvon and they agreed to speak at Legion Square. April, Big D and K met with Dreyvon, Mona and another Balla to discuss the situation. K explained his point of view and how the Ballas-CG beef was over more issues than just April's kidnapping, such as the Zelda situation and Miguel being shot at by Ballas during a race. April said one of the Balllas names that took her hostage was "Avon", but the Ballas said they did not know an Avon in the gang, with April realizing it was likely a fake name. The Ballas told K that Zelda and Wiked had ended their relationship, they explained how they initially considered going to war with The Mandem since they thought they may have set Zelda up, and that they sought to no longer escalate against CG and leave it at "blood for blood". K agreed to squash the beef and April expressed overall satisfaction with the outcome, thereby officially ending the war, which until that point had not officially concluded.
