A fish-eye lens typically will have tell-tail vertical and horizontal distortion of objects that show stright lines. like walls and fences.

Looking at the pics you can id 3-4 areas that should show distortion.

The last pic is a typical fish-eye render. After you leave the central area, the distortion excelorates.

Tom,

I fear that children and those with weak minds & mental problems will be encouraged to really stupid tricks.

Not unlike suicide bommers

Regardless of the lens and potential distortion, the idea of a shooting // killing as part of a youth gang initiation is not unheard of.

TEEN TELLS OF GANG INITIATION, GIRL'S KILLING
By Philip P. PanJune 28, 1996
Testifying in a voice so soft that jurors had to lean forward to hear him, a Prince George's County teenager said yesterday that he joined what he thought was a social club before realizing it was a criminal gang and then a month later helped bludgeon and stab to death a classmate.

Vouthynor "Billy" Sovann, 16, spoke for nearly three hours and said he joined the gang after a classmate described it to him as a clique. For his initiation, Sovann said, he endured a beating by other gang members and learned an elaborate set of gang rules and the penalties for violating them.

The Mitchellville teenager breathed more deeply and appeared dazed when he began telling the jury at his murder trial in Upper Marlboro how he plunged a knife five times into the back of 14-year-old Tatia Brennan, then held her down and ignored her pleas for mercy while another gang member stabbed her repeatedly.

Box,

You've used the fisheye in various applications.... Seems it would cause distortion in a uniform manner relative to other fisheye lens cameras. From what my untrained and novice eye can see...the tendency would be for the center of the focal field to appear larger and the edges to appear "smaller" to give the distortion. Unless this is some sort of zoom-crop I find it difficult to believe that this was a 6' 2", 245 lb person.

Someone knows the shooter...the coin is growing sufficient to entice a disgruntled girlfriend or a fellow gang member who gets rolled up on something sufficient enough to rat.

Almost approaching a monetary level that maybe couple of experienced bounty hunter types could get some good local info.

Too bad it cannot be offered "dead or alive"

Could save a lot of money in the long run

I was thinking the same thing if that was a "kill or capture" reward. I figured that guy was not going to see the inside of a courtroom. He is probably going to go out guns a blazing.
