Assassination of The Gambler (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)

"Settle in, as we're about to begin a tale of trust, a tale of heartache, and a tale of murder."

- Steve Sharpe

The Assassination of the Gambler was a mysterious silencing of Steve Sharpe, the Gambler, who discovered hidden cameras monitoring Blue Valley.

Background
In August 2021, Steve Sharpe, the Gambler, returned to Blue Valley after evading the authorities for his criminal activities. As he returned to Blue Valley, he went to apologize and state his intent to reform to the Whitmore-Dugans, soon moving back to his trailer. While he stayed in his trailer, he began searching for his daughter, whom she unknowingly abandoned and was subsequently sent to an adoption agency. Meanwhile, Sharpe wrote a letter and completed right when the computer detected an identified feed, including those filming his trailer, the American Dream Tower, Blue Valley High School, the Whitmore-Dugans, and the Chapels

Assassination
Later, Sharpe retrieved his pistol from the trash can and cautiously exited his trailer, searching for the hidden camera. However, before he could remove the camera, an unknown being revealed itself and tackled Sharpe. Sharpe defended himself with his pistol, with the Justice Society of America being close enough to hear the gunshot.

Aftermath
Hearing the gunshot, the Justice Society ran to Sharpe's trailer and found Sharpe dead on the ground, with Cindy Burman holding the pistol. Hoping to clear her suspicious actions, Burman claimed it was not her.
