Pro mountain bike racer Matthew Slaven was shot by a hoodie

News that Matthew Slaven, a well-known professional mountain bike racer from Portland, was shot during a mugging Monday night in California, rippled across social media and  racing circles.
First, what happened. The Santa Cruz Sentinel described the shooting Monday this way:
hmm... a hoodie
Slaven was shot while he and three others were walking through San Lorenzo Park near Dakota Avenue about 10 p.m. Monday, Santa Cruz police Lt. Larry Richard said.
A man wearing a hooded sweatshirt and bandanna on his face approached the group near the duck pond and demanded their wallets, police said.
The man then shot Slaven. Someone in the group gave the gunman a wallet, and the shooter fled toward downtown Santa Cruz, according to police.
