A federal grand jury returned an indictment that adds a fifth gang member to an indictment that had previously charged four others in connection with a six-year conspiracy to assault and murder African-Americans in the Highland Park area of Los Angeles.

Porfirio Avila was named in a conspiracy charge that alleges numerous violent assaults against African-Americans, including murders that took place in 1999 and in 2000. The indictment alleges that Avila was the driver of a vehicle that carried the shooter who fatally shot Christopher Bowser on December 11, 2000.

Four of Av


ila's fellow gang members were previously indicted in August 2004 and are also named in the new indictment. The four previously indicted were allegedly directly involved in the murder of Kenneth Kurry Wilson, an African-
American man gunned down in Highland Park on April 18, 1999.

Avila, 31, is currently serving two life sentences in state prison for the murder of Christopher Bowser and another African-American man.

The indictment charges that the five defendants, all members of the Avenues street gang, conspired with each other and with other gang members to violate the civil rights of African-Americans in the gang's neighborhood by attacking and sometimes killing the victims.

The conspiracy charge alleges that the defendants attacked numerous African-American residents of Highland Park and murdered Kenneth Kurry Wilson in 1999 and Christopher Bowser the next year. The second count of the indictment alleges that the four defendants who participated in Wilson's murder
did
so b
ecause Wilson was African-American and because he was using the public streets of Los Angeles. The final count of the indictment charges the same four defendants with using a firearm during the commission of a conspiracy and hate crim
es.

The previously indicted suspects are:

- Gilbert Saldana, 27, an alleged triggerman in the Wilson murder, who is currently serving a life sentence in state prison for another murder;
- Merced Cambero, 27, the second alleged triggerman in the Wilson murder, who is currently a fugitive;
- Alejandro Martinez, 28, who allegedly served as a look-out during the Wilson slaying;
- Fernando Cazares, 25, another alleged look-out in the Wilson murder who is currently serving a 34-month sentence in state prison on various unrelated charges; and

If convicted of the crimes alleged in the indictment, the defendants face life without parole in federal prison.

Mestizo gang plotted to commit violence against African Americans

Gang Accused of Conspiring to Kill Blacks
Federal prosecutors allege that members of the Avenues in L.A. plotted to commit violence against African Americans.

July 4, 2006

Jose Cruz is a walking testament to what happens when a member turns against the Avenues street gang.

He has 30 scars from the stab wounds he suffered in one attempt on his life ? on his arms, torso and legs. In another attack, he was beaten so severely that he has a visible dent in his skull, according to court papers, "the size and shape of a pistol butt."

His street gang goes back five generations in Highland Park, which for Cruz is five miles and several lifetimes from the downtown courtroom where he is scheduled to testify as the star witness for the prosecution in the trial of a group of childhood friends.

Federal prosecutors, who launched their case
last week, contend that the Avenues gang between 1994 and 2000 conspired to kill African Americans on their turf.

Men, women and children were harassed, terrorized, assaulted and slain as gang members sought to force black residents out of Latino neighborhoods, prosecutors said.

Authorities are using a federal hate-crime law based on the amendment to the U.S. Constitution that outlawed slavery, and another law created in the civil rights era, to go after four gang members. Barbara Bernstein, deputy chief of the criminal section of the civil rights divisions of the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, is part of the prosecution team.

Attorneys for the defendants ? Gilbert Saldana, Alejandro Martinez, Fernando Cazares and Porfirio Avila ? have asserted that the federal government has no power to involve itself in a common street crime.

Defense attorney Reuven L. Cohen told jurors last week that one of the slayings cited in the charges ? the 1999 shooting of Kenneth Wilson ? was
not a hate crime but "a simple gang killing committed out of boredom."

Cohen said the crimes sprang from the "sad" truth of "a tension that exists between African American gangs and Latino gangs."

The first of three former gang members, each in custody and hoping for leniency, testified Monday. Jesse Diaz, who described himself as a tagger from age 12, told jurors the Avenues decided to fight the "infestation" of blacks in Highland Park with a systematic terror campaign designed to run them out of the neighborhood.

Diaz, who has 10 more years to serve in prison for attempted murder, said the Avenues hated all rival gangs. But the antipathy for blacks was different, he said.

Highland Park became the scene of a game in which Diaz's group of Avenues actually competed with another "clique" to run the most blacks out of Highland Park, he testified.

Two other informants, one serving a long state prison term and the other a deported immigrant, will tell jurors that Saldana sho
t Wilson repeatedly in 1999, explaining that Saldana had just acquired a gun and "wanted to test it out."

One told the FBI in interviews that the gang got an order in 1998 from the Mexican Mafia prison gang to "kill any blacks ? on sight."

Rick Ortiz, a Los Angeles police spokesman, called the Avenues a "bully" gang that uses its large numbers to intimidate.

"The Avenues have been around for a long time," Ortiz said. "They are the largest gang in the northeast area, with over 500 documented, active members."

Although gang members have for years been subject to a court order that limits their activities, they remain active, authorities said. Their racial antipathy is an outgrowth of prison culture, in which rival street gang members band together by race and then bring those attitudes back to the streets, Ortiz said.

"When you have gang members standing out on the street corners, they intimidate people," he said. "They may commit a minor offense, like vandalism, but people a
re so afraid of them they won't call in. It diminishes the quality of life in the community."

Heinrich Keifer, president of the Historic Highland Park Neighborhood Council, said racial violence by gang members is not currently a problem in the area.

"Our biggest problem is not so much gangs, although some members of the community are intimidated. It's more the taggers," Keifer said. "They create that feeling that the community is destroyed. The gangs aren't ruling the turf. They're not necessarily muscling people out. There was some of that in the past.

"The area is on the rebound, so much so that many Westsiders are moving in," Keifer said, citing the historic heritage of the area northeast of downtown. "Many of the poorer people are struggling with the rising rents."

As part of his strategy in the case, defense attorney Cohen plans to target the witnesses' credibility.

Diaz and the two other former gang members are lying to curry favor with prosecutors, Cohen said. D
efendants Saldana and Avila are in prison, serving life sentences without the possibility of parole for murder. Cazares is in custody on a parole violation. Martinez's custody status could not be determined.

Prosecutors say the gang members conspired in various acts of violence, including:

? Wilson's 1999 killing, which occurred when he returned to his Avenue 52 home late at night after a party, his nephew, Duane Williams, testified Thursday. Wilson was shot repeatedly by Saldana and two others because of his race, Assistant U.S. Atty. Alex Bustamante told jurors.

? Diaz testified that gang members beat a black homeless man with metal weapons, and attacked an African American man speaking on a pay telephone from behind and severely beat him.

Another black man was assaulted on the street because he was walking with a Latina, according to Bustamante.

? Finally, authorities say they have linked the killings of two other men to the Avenues, partly through ballistics. The vi
ctims were Christopher Bauser, who was shot execution-style at a bus stop in 2000, and Anthony Prudomme, also killed on a street.

Bustamante offered a chilling view of the mentality of the Avenues as the trial opened in U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson's courtroom. Martinez was driving a van carrying five fellow Avenues members when he spotted Wilson.

"Anybody want to kill a nigger?" Bustamante said.

"Those are not my words, ladies and gentlemen," Bustamante added, gesturing across the room to Martinez. "They are his."

Latrino gang charged with "hate crimes" for anti-nigger tactics

Latrino gang charged with "hate crimes" for anti-nigger tactics

Latino Gang Members Found Guilty of Violence Conspiracy

Four members of a Highland Park gang were found guilty today on all counts of conspiracy to use violence to push African Americans out of the community between Pasadena and downtown Los Angeles.

All four were found to have caused the death of an African American man who was shot while parking his car in 1999 and a man who was shot while standing at a bus stop in 2000.

The four gang members face life in prison without parole. Sentencing begins Oct. 23.

This was the first high-profile case in which the U.S. Justice Department prosecuted a gang of color as a hate group, using laws trad
itionally employed to go after white supremacist groups
such as skinheads and the Ku Klux Klan, according to officials.

Prosecutors said the violence was not part of a Latino gang fighting a rival black gang over turf. Instead, the victims were targeted simply because they were black, they said.

Defense attorneys claimed that police had concocted the conspiracy by tying together random attacks committed largely by unknown perpetrators -- thus inflating common street crime into a conspiracy against civil rights.

On trial were Gilbert "Lucky" Saldana, Alejandro "Bird" Martinez, Porfirio "Dreamer" Avila and Fernando "Sneaky" Cazares. Another defendant, Merced "Shadow" Cambero, is a fugitive.

For a guilty verdict, the jurors had to find that the attacks were part of a conspiracy to violate the victims' right to live where they please and to use state-administered "facilities" -- in this case, the street.

In court motions, prosecutors argued that the Mexican Mafia, a race-ba
sed prison gang, ordered the Avenues to get blacks out of the neighborhood. But U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson barred such testimony as prejudicial.

In his closing argument, Assistant U.S. Atty. Alex Bustamante stood by his two key witnesses: the Avenues members who turned on their cohorts.

He said their testimony changed over time because they first tried to protect their friends.

Bustamante also replayed a key piece of evidence: a telephone conversation between one of the defendants, Avila, and a gang member named Dusty Chavez that was recorded in County Jail. The conversation took place shortly after the December 2000 killing of a black man named Christopher Bowser.

On the tape, they talk about how Martinez robbed Bowser a week before. Twice Avila says they were messing up "some mayates," a Spanish-language slur against blacks. He then tells Chavez that Martinez was arrested after Bowser went to police.

Prosecutors argue that what Avila says next referred to Bo
wser.

"That fool is gone," Avila says.

Gang Members Sentenced To Life In Prison For Hate Crimes

Three violent gang members were sentenced recently to life in federal prison without the possibility of parole for participating in a six-year hate crime conspiracy that led to the assault and murder of African-Americans in Los Angeles, according to the US Justice Department.

The convicted killers, who are members of the Avenues, a Latino street gang, each received two consecutive life sentences from U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson in Los Angeles.

It was the killing of 3-year-old Stephanie Kuhen by a clique of the Avenues in 1996 that put the gang in the sights of local and federal law enforcement, according to an LA Weekly story at that time.

The little girl's murder by gang members who fired on her family's car as her stepfather, lost, tried to turn around on a dead-end street, intensified efforts by police to eradicate the 800-member gang from neighborhoods just north of downtown Los Angeles.

The Avenues have a well-documented history of attacking blacks dating back to the early '90s, that started when three black family members were shot and injured by gang members after they moved into an apartment in Highland Park section of LA.

Gilbert Saldana, Alejandro Martinez and Fernando Cazares each were sentenced for their parts in the murders of two African American men. A fourth defendant convicted at trial, Porfirio Avila, who is currently serving a life sentence in state court in the murders of Christopher Bowser and another African American man, is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Anderson on Dec. 18, 2006.

A fifth defendant, Merced Cambero, who is alleged to have been a part of the murders is currently a fugitive at-large and remains under indictment.

The three sentenced on November 28 were convicted at trial this summer of being part of a conspiracy that committed numerous violent assaults against African-Americans, including murders that took place in 1999 and in 2000. Members of the conspiracy were found guilty of violating the civil rights of African-Americans in the gang's neighborhood by attacking and sometimes killing the victims.

"The guilty verdicts in this case represent the successful and unprecedented result of a lengthy investigation into civil rights violations, including multiple violent assaults and murder, committed by this violent gang," said J. Stephen Tidwell, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI in Los Angeles.
 
Hispanic pair held in black man's dragging death

California pair held in black man's dragging death

YUBA CITY, Calif. (AP) - Police in northern California are holding two Hispanic men for the dragging death of a black man.

Investigators in Yuba City say the victim was beaten, kicked, robbed in an alley and then run over by a pickup truck and dragged face-down underneath it until he died.

They want to know whether race was a factor in the man's death.

The two suspects are each being held on one million dollars bond on suspicion of murder, robbery, gang affiliation and parole violation.

The Sutter County DA says he's waiting for investigators' reports before deciding what charges to file.
 
Newark organizes event to diffuse tensions over 3 Negroid murder by MS-13

Blacks and Latinos bond in wake of slayings
Spiritual unity is the goal at Newark service

The last time so many Newark leaders and clergy gathered together, they were mourning the deaths of three college students in shootings so callous they plunged the city into grief and anger.

Yesterday, those killings brought many of the same people together again, but this time their message was unity for all, particularly the African-American and Latino communities. A joyful tide of music and laughter swept the congregation of the Metropolitan Baptist Church as clergy of various religions, parishioners and politicians pledged to forge a path of unity during a special service.

"When I go around the city, I see the glorious manifestation of the Lord everywhere," Mayor Cory Booker said as he raised his voice above the din of amens and hallelujahs flooding the church sanctuary. "We are walking in the valley of the shadow of death, but I fear no evil."

Some 500 people attended, filling every pew and corner of one of the city's largest churches, where African-American and Latino pastors organized a show of strength for the first "Spiritual Unity Service."

The church's Rev. David Jefferson and the Rev. Rafael Sanchez of the House of Worship Ministries led worshippers and repeatedly said people are "all cut from the same cloth."

"We all bleed the same color. We are all heirs of Abraham," Sanchez said.

City council members and Gov. Jon Corzine, looking healthy and trim, sat among the congregation as they heard roof-rattling gospel music and a sermon conducted in English and Spanish. Children and women danced amid the swaying crowd.

But among the claps and smiles, there were constant references to the tragic event that brought the two groups together.

A group of men and boys, most of whom are Hispanic, are charged with the August slayings of three black college students: Iofemi Hightower, Terrance Aeriel and Dashon Harvey, who was a member of the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Aeriel's sister, Natasha Aeriel, was shot but survived.

The killings launched the city into deep and painful soul-searching as the state was forced to re-examine how to handle illegal immigrants charged with crimes. At least one of the men suspected of killing the students had no immigration documents, authorities have said.

Harvey's father, James Harvey, bore no grudge against the Hispanic community of Newark as he addressed the crowd.

"I am among brothers and sisters," he said as he put his hand over his heart. "You have truly strengthened my faith in God."

The service attendees mostly were church parishioners but also included Hispanics, Muslims, Asians and rabbis.

Jefferson called the service "historic" and pledged next year's would be at the new Prudential Arena.

"Arena. Arena. Arena," Jefferson said, urging the crowd.

In addition to the unity service, the church announced a batch of family-oriented initiatives, spokeswoman Tracy Munford said.

A mentoring program, "Boys to Men," already has drawn 70 church members, she said. A joint neighborhood watch group formed by African-American and Hispanic clergy will start soon.

Munford also said the church began an exploratory committee for a charter school geared to serving African-American and Latino boys.

In the spirit of the service, Booker gave a short Spanish lesson to the congregation at the end of his remarks.

"Yo tengo fe con dios. Vamos a tener exito," he said. He then translated: "I have faith with God. We're going to be successful."

Plainfield NJ Negroid gets life for murdering a Guatemalan invader

Plainfield man gets life term for slaying
He must serve 81 years in immigrant's killing

Omar Lewis is going to spend the rest of his natural life in prison for killing a Guatemalan immigrant in Plainfield.

Lewis, 21, will have to serve 81 years behind bars before he is eligible for parole in the sentence handed down yesterday in Superior Court in Union County.


At his sentencing, Lewis offered no apology and showed no remorse for stabbing Jose Fernando Lopez in the chest on March 13, 2005. Lewis joined with a gang of friends in the attack on Lopez and was the one who delivered the fatal blow as the 28-year-old tried to fend off a barrage of kicks and punches.

Superior Court Judge William L'E. Wertheimer showed no mercy on Lewis, pointing to a long juve nile record where he was deemed a delinquent 21 times.

"Defendant played the bad dude with his friends and stabbed a perfectly innocent Hispanic man for no real reason other than to commit a senseless, almost worthless robbery in front of his friends," Wertheimer said. "He deserves only the mercy he showed Jose Lopez, which is none."

A jury convicted Lewis of murder and robbery in July.

Witnesses testified at the trial that Lewis bragged about the at tack on Lopez.

Lewis and three friends had hatched a plan to rob someone that night. Lopez walked into their midst on Madison Avenue and be came their target. The other alleged participants, Keith Carson and Juan Montanez, are awaiting trial. Juan's brother, Jose Montanez, was 15 years old at the time of the attack so his case was adju dicated in juvenile court.

"I don't think Mr. Lewis will have any way to understand how he devastated the Lopez family," Union County Assistant Prosecutor James Donnelly said. "He and his accomplices went out on March 13. They went prowling through the neighborhood for an easy target. Lopez came into their sights."

Oscar and Rosario Lopez said their brother's death still weighs on the family. At least now, with the long prison sentence, Lewis is get ting the punishment he deserves, they said.

"This way, he will not be able to be on the streets and he will not have any way to commit another crime," Oscar Lopez said.

Rosario Lopez said her brother was the first in the family to come to the United States to help support their mother back home in Guatemala. Lopez was working as a construction worker. He was killed steps from his home.

"We know that my brother is never going to come back, but Lewis is going to pay for what he did," Rosario Lopez said.

3 Hood Nigs Shot Up by Latrino Gangbangers

Security on the rise after five shootings
By Dan Abendschein, Staff Writer

MONROVIA - A gang member's release from prison may have sparked five shootings that resulted in three people being wounded over the weekend, police said Monday.

Three black men were shot, and several others appear to have been shot at, likely by Latino gang members.
A known Latino gang member also had his house shot at, according to police Lt. Richard Wagnon.

"All these incidents look like they have some connection," said Monrovia Lt. Steve Cofield, who leads the department's detective bureau. He pointed to the prisoner's release as a possible cause. "Something set this off, and we won't leave a stone unturned."

He said that police are looking for four to eight suspects from multiple gangs.

On Friday night, just before midnight, police received calls about shots fired around the 200 block of Central Avenue. Witnesses told police they saw several black men running, as if they were fleeing the gunfire, though witnesses varied on exactly where they saw them, said Cofield.

He said the shooting might have occurred in an alley that runs between Los Angeles Avenue and Central Avenue along the east side of Myrtle Avenue.

On Saturday afternoon, a 19-year-old black male was
checked into the Methodist Hospital in Monrovia with two gunshot wounds, one in his leg, and the other on his lower lip, where a bullet grazed him.

Police were informed of the gunshot wounds from the hospital and went to interview the man, who told them he was attacked in a drive-by around the intersection of Primrose Avenue and Cypress Avenue, Wagnon said.

He added that the victim described the shooters in the car as Latino gang members, and the victim is part of a a black gang in the area.

The victim is now in stable condition, according to Monrovia police Sgt. Jaime Alfaro.

At about 9 p.m. Saturday, police received reports of gunfire at the home of the Latino gang member in the 200 block of East Atara, said Wagnon. Ten bullet holes were found in the house and a car in the driveway.

The crime was not reported until the next day, by a relative of the gang member, said Cofield.

On Sunday night, two black males in their 40s were shot in two incidents that happened within a few hours of each other, said Wagnon.

The victim in the second shooting was not a gang member, according to Cofield, but police have not yet determined if the first victim might be in a gang or related to a person in a gang.

The first shooting occurred around 6:40 p.m. in the 500 block of Los Angeles Avenue, according to Sgt. Tom Wright.

The 41-year-old victim had just parked his car when he was shot by several male Latino gang members, who fled in a light-colored car, said Wright.

The victim was stuck in the leg and the hand, he said.

Nothing was said prior to the attack, added Wright. The culprits simply drove by and fired.

The second shooting was reported around 8:50 p.m. on Shamrock Avenue and Walnut Avenue, said Wagnon.

A black male in his 40s was driving his car when Latino gang members pulled up next to him and fired.

The male was shot in the arm once, said Wagnon.

The female passenger took over driving and took the wounded man to the hospital.

Neither victim's wounds are believed to be life-threatening.

Wagnon said that the police planned to provide extra patrols in neighborhoods that police felt would be at risk of further gang violence.

He added that police would also be adding additional patrols to areas around schools to keep an eye on potential gang activity.

Monrovia High School Principal Frank Zepeda said that though he is vigilant about the dangers that gangs could pose to his students, gang activity is not prevalent in the school.

"This is an ongoing problem in parts of the community," said Zepeda. "Thank God, it hasn't come to our campus."

Re: Nigger-Spic Gang Rivalries Send Summer Chill Through LA Area

Rising Latrino numbers, rising black fears

Rising Latino numbers, rising black fears

A small but vocal group of Los Angeles black community activists turned up at City Hall in October to blast Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Latino elected officials for their tight-lipped silence when the feds cracked down on the terrorist Latino street gang, Florencia 13. The gang’s arsenal of mayhem included murders, assaults and intimidation against blacks in South L.A. Though the protestors were few in number, many blacks privately cheered their finger-pointing at Latino leaders for not speaking out on the violence.

In the past two years, some Latino leaders have pointed the same blame finger at blacks when Latino men were robbed, beaten and even murdered in Plainfield, N.J., Jacksonville, Fla., and Annapolis, Md., and seven members of a Latino family were murdered in Indianapolis. The attackers in all cases were young black males. Latinos complained bitterly that blacks were targeting Latinos simply because they were Latinos.

Latino and black violence against each other is another tormenting sign of the worst kept secret in race relations in America: Racial and ethnic conflicts can occur just as easily between blacks and Latinos as between blacks and whites. In recent years, black and Latino relations have been characterized more by shocking headlines of hate crimes, campus brawls, prison and jail fights, anti-immigration marches, job discrimination claims, and racial slurs and taunts against one another.

The black and brown clash draws attention, and lots of it, because it involves two groups that some think should be natural allies. At least, that’s what Martin Luther King, Jr. and Cesar Chavez thought four decades ago. They had a mutual admiration for one another, sharing a passionate belief that blacks and Latinos were equally oppressed minorities and should march in lockstep to do battle against racial injustice and poverty. Radical black and Latino activist groups briefly took up their call for unity.

Their rhapsodic notion of black and brown harmony is now the faintest of faint memories. Three years ago when the Census Bureau proclaimed Latinos the top minority in the U.S., many blacks loudly grumbled that they would be shoved even further to the margin among minorities.

The grumbles rose to a near-shrill pitch during the immigration debate. Most civil rights leaders and black Democrats publicly embraced the immigrants’ rights struggle as a crucial and compelling civil rights fight. Yet, the dread many blacks feel about being bypassed in the eternal battle against poverty and discrimination can be felt and is routinely heard in private conversations and occasional public outbursts by many African Americans.

The prime reasons for chronic black unemployment, however, are lingering racial discrimination and the lack of job skills, training and education. No matter; many blacks still blame their job plight on illegal immigrants.

Racial fear has spilled into politics. Latinos are being courted like mad by the Democratic presidential contenders. The big fear of many blacks is that the national chase for Latino votes will erode the newfound political gains and power they have won through decades of struggle.

But the high percentage of minorities in L.A. schools is not unique. Latinos and blacks make up the majority of students in many of the nation’s big city schools. Their schools are also among the country’s poorest and most segregated. In their desperation to get a quality education for their kids, Latinos and blacks accuse each other of gobbling up scarce resources, dragging down test scores and fueling the rise in crime and gang problems at the schools. The answer is to press school officials for more funding, better teachers and quality learning materials. However, when the money isn’t there, the problem is quickly reduced to ethnic squabbling over the scant dollars.

Then there’s the problem of ethnic insensitivity. Many Latinos fail to understand the complexity and severity of the black experience. They frequently bash blacks for their poverty and goad them to pull themselves up, as other immigrants have done. Former Mexican President Vicente Fox took much heat from black leaders in 2005 when he claimed that Mexican immigrants would work jobs blacks wouldn’t. Some Latinos repeat the same vicious anti-black epithets as racist whites.

Ethnic insensitivity, however, cuts both ways. Many blacks have little understanding of the impoverishment and social turmoil that has driven many Latinos to seek jobs and refuge in the United States. Once here, they face the massive problems of readjusting to a strange culture, customs and language, and that includes discrimination, too.

Despite the problems, the state of black and brown relations is not all gloom and doom. Blacks and Latinos have worked together in some communities to combat police abuse, crime and violence, and to advocate for school improvements and increased neighborhood services.

Still, the painful truth is that blacks and Latinos have found that the struggle for power and recognition is long and difficult. On some issues, they can be allies; on others, they will go it alone. Toppling blacks from the top minority spot in America won’t make the problems blacks and Latinos face disappear. Nor will blaming each other for those problems solve them.

Officials Cite Racial Tension at School
Southwest Middle student, 13, died Wednesday after fight with another boy

LAKELAND | For a month, there had been tension between small groups of blacks and Hispanics at Southwest Middle School in Lakeland.

One student would say something derogatory, wind up in the dean's office and staff members at the school would attempt to work things out between the two groups, according to school officials.

While administrators said Southwest doesn't have a serious problem with racial tension or violence, the school was reeling Thursday at the news that a student had been stabbed to death and another student arrested, and some parents feared the killing had racial overtones.

On Wednesday, the two students and others were involved in an after-school fight.

One boy pulled a knife and Kristian Marrero-Cassola, 13, was stabbed and fatally wounded near his home at 830 W. Beacon Road. He collapsed as he struggled to make it back to his mother's apartment.

A short time later Lakeland police arrested Tarrod Russell, 14, at his home at 801 Windsor St. and charged him with second-degree murder with a weapon.

Russell told investigators he stabbed Marrero-Cassola, said Lakeland police spokesman Jack Gillen.

Police on Thursday said they hadn't found the knife used in the stabbing.

Prosecutors have not determined whether they will seek to have Russell charged as an adult.

"It's a double tragedy," Southwest Middle School Principal John Wilson said. "We have a student who has lost his life and a student whose life is messed up."

Wilson said that at a school with 958 students, it's not out of the ordinary to have some tension between various groups.

"You're going to have some racial issues pop up," Wilson said. "But generally, kids get along OK."

Wilson doubted the killing stemmed from animosity between Hispanics and blacks. He said it may be a case where Russell reacted impulsively when he thought he had been insulted.

Police say burglaries target Hispanic homes

Police say burglaries target Hispanic homes
Burglary victim says owner-occupied homes are most vulnerable

RED BANK - The homes of Hispanic residents on the borough's west side have been the recent targets of a string of daytime burglaries, the fifth of which occurred Dec. 10, according to the Red Bank Police Department.

Red Bank police responded to a Catherine Street residence for a report of a burglary in progress at 2 p.m., according to a press release from the department.

The owners of the property returned home while the police were still at the scene and reported that an amount of jewelry was taken from the residence, according to police.

"My block has basically turned into a tenement housing situation and I really feel that being the victim of a crime on Monday, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to single out one of four owner- occupied homes on Catherine Street," Connie

Aparicio, whose home was the target of the latest burglary, said at the Dec. 12 Westside Community Group meeting.

She said her Catherine Street home is one of four owner-occupied residences on her street, the rest of which are landlord owned and operated.

"As the neighborhood continues to change â┚¬¦ it certainly looks like anybody who is a homeowner or takes pride in their home, just the fact that you cut your grass â┚¬¦ and your house is painted, it singles you out and puts you in a more vulnerable position to be attacked."

The incident is the fifth daytime burglary of a residence occupied by Hispanic families since Sept. 14, according to police.

According to police, the most recent incident involved a black male suspect seen on the sidewalk in front of the victim's residence talking on the cell phone before the burglary.

The suspect was later seen knocking on the front door of the victim's house, and then going to a rear apartment door and trying the door handle, according to a press release from the police department.

Witnesses then heard the sound of glass breaking and one went to the rear door of the residence, according to police.

After noticing the glass on the rear door was broken and the door was forced open, one witness, a relative of the homeowners, banged on the door, according to police.

Upon hearing the pounding on the door, the suspect, who the witness identified as the same suspicious male she had seen outside the residence earlier, jumped from the second-floor window onto a landing and then to the ground, according to police.

The suspect was last seen climbing a fence at the rear of the yard heading toward Leonard Street, according to police.

A Long Branch police canine unit assisted the Red Bank police patrol and detectives with a search of the area; however, the suspect was not located, according to police.

All five of the burglaries involved forced entry into the residences and in each case jewelry and cash were taken, according to police. All of the incidents occurred on Leighton Avenue and Catherine Street, between Drs. James Parker Boulevard, Tilton Avenue and Shrewsbury Avenue.

Based on the facts of the most recent incident, police are asking that residents who live in the affected area and who have had a suspicious unknown male come to their door for no specific reason during the day, contact the Red Bank police, according to police.

The suspect in the Dec. 10 burglary is described as a black male in his mid 20s, 5 feet 10 inches in height with a heavy build and a dark complexion and was last seen wearing a three-quarter-length black jacket and black knit hat, according to police.

Yoofs grieve for nigteen slain near Union City school

UNION CITY -- ABOUT 150 people attended a vigil the day after Christmas for Vernon Eddins, the 14-year-old Decoto district resident who was shot and killed last week in front of his former middle school.

Several of his friends wore black hooded sweat shirts reading "R.I.P. Vernon" and bearing an image of his yearbook picture at the afternoon service at Barnard-White Middle School.

Some were with Vernon on Friday when, police say, he was gunned down by a Hispanic assailant who fired at a group of black youths.

"All we heard is two shots," said Kemari Rollerson, 14, of Decoto, a freshman with Vernon at nearbyJames Logan High School. "There's nothing I can do now. He was cool. He really wasn't violent."

Isaiah Williams, 14, of Union City, another Logan freshman, said he became friends with Vernon this year.

"I just heard shots. We ran into the office," Isaiah said, adding that his cadre soon realized Vernon wasn't with them.

Patsy Lockhart, an eighth-grade teacher at Barnard-White, said Vernon was in her Africoon-Americoon history and culture club. She said she was outside the school when the shooting happened and Vernon fell at her feet.

"The kids ran past, and I thought he just tripped," she said. "He was shaking. I knew it was serious then. He was gasping. I just started talking to him, holding him."

Then, she said, she noticed trickles of blood at the edge of his shirt under his jacket. When she lifted his shirt, she said, she saw a hole in his chest by his heart. Soon, he stopped breathing.

"I could smell the smoke (from the shooting)," she said, adding that she believes a Latrino gang was to blame. "We've been dealing with this for quite a while. There's threats on the black kids. They're walking in groups now. They just want to go to school, hang out in the community."

Police still would say nothing Wednesday about allegations from residents that the shooting stemmed from a division between some blacks and Hispanics in the largely Latrino neighborhood.

Investigators are following active leads "and that's it," police Lt. Kelly Musgrove said.

One of Vernon's friends who was at the shooting said a black suburban vehicle full of Latrino males drove up to the group and that he saw them display gang gestures before gunfire erupted.

Yet fostering unity was the theme of the vigil, attended by young people of various races.

"It's sad they're recognizing it now," 14-year-old Briana Landavazo of Decoto said of local racial tension. "It's been going on for like three years. He was just in a bad place at the wrong time."

Cornell Moore, youth director for New Hope Baptist Church in Union City, said some words to the attendees, gathered in a circle.

"This is your future," he said. "Put this to bed. Don't let it keep going."

Outreach minister David Holly, 75, of Union City also spoke out.

"You've got all races out here," he said. "We've got to learn how to get along."

The retired career Navy man said when he moved to town in 1971, there were fewer whites and blacks living in Decoto.

"Now you see the melting pot. People coming together," Holly said. "I think it has a lot to do with respecting one another — the golden rule."

Police Search for Suspects in Stab and Steal

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) -- A delivery driver was stabbed and robbed on the streets of Providence early Friday morning. This comes just one day after a teen was shot in Providence.

Police and detectives are looking over surveillance tape to see if they can catch the people who attacked the man.

According to a Providence police report, at around 7:30 Friday morning, truck driver Juan Castro of Pawtucket, was robbed and stabbed in the loading dock area behind the Stop & Shop on Manton Avenue.

Castro told police that a black man in his 20's, wearing a black hood, approached him as he was walking back to his truck to pick up an order of coffee.

The man then demanded Castro turn over his wallet. Castro didn't, and that's when he says two or three other men jumped him, punched him, and stole his wallet. The suspects then jumped in his truck and drove away.

A short time after the incident the stolen truck was found on Hartfard Avenue. A man fitting the description of one of the suspects was apprehended nearby. An eyewitness reportedly identified him as one of the attackers.

Providence police tell Eyewitness News Castro has already been treated and released from Rhode Island Hospital.
 
Spic fills nig veteran's head with bullets

Staten Island son, an Iraq veteran, gunned down on Pa. street

Pennsylvania police are still searching for a man who gunned down a Staten Island native on a Harrisburg street this weekend after a dispute over a stolen iPod.

Leonardo Olmeda-Pagan, 33, put his revolver to the head of 28-year-old Christopher Small and shot him at least three times after an altercation outside a birthday party for Small's best friend's daughter early Sunday, Harrisburg police said.

medium_01-11-staten-island-small.jpg


Former Staten Islander Christopher Small, posing with his mother, Nancy Garcia, was shot and killed on a Pennsylvania street last weekend.

Small, who was born in Brooklyn and raised in Huguenot, enlisted in the Army after graduating from Tottenville High School. He was wounded while fighting on the front lines during the invasion of Iraq in early 2003.

He moved to Brooklyn after being discharged from the military in the summer of 2006 and was working for a firm that handled security on construction sites in Manhattan.

Small was attending a birthday party in Central Pennsylvania Saturday night when Olmeda-Pagan and several other men showed up uninvited, according to police and eyewitness accounts. Olmeda-Pagan and his group were asked to leave after an iPod was discovered missing, and Small helped the birthday girl's father to clear out the party.

Witnesses say that angered Olmeda-Pagan.

Olmeda-Pagan followed Small to his car afterward and, after a brief altercation, shot him on the sidewalk, police said

"It was all over nothing...it was just senseless," his distraught mother, Nancy Garcia, said in a phone interview earlier today.

Small, 28, was gunned down on a Harrisburg, Pa., street after a dispute over a stolen iPod at a birthday party for his best friend's daughter early Sunday.

Pennsylvania police are still searching for Leonardo Olmeda-Pagan, 33, a Harrisburg man they said placed a revolver to Small's head, shot him, then stood over his bloodied body and shot him four more times in the face.
 
When the stinking toilet overflows

When the melting pot boils over
By Clarence "Nigger" Page

LOS ANGELES - While Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama rebutted each either before a star-studded audience in the Democratic presidential debate in Hollywood's Kodak Theater, residents elsewhere in Los Angeles County were dodging bullets in a local race war.

An outbreak of gang shootings between blacks and Latrinos in the nearby city of Monrovia had left a 64-year-old black man and a 16-year-old Latrina dead, according to news reports. Police said the two were innocent bystanders in violence that had left a total of seven people killed or wounded in recent gunfire by suspected black and Latrino gang members.

The debaters and the gang-bangers are related in the weird ways that politics link everything in our society. Sporadic reports of interracial violence feed anxieties, justifiably or not, about the ability of blacks and Hispanics to get along, whether on the streets, in the workplace or in politics.

Those concerns surfaced in national politics as the presidential campaign circus moved into Arizona, Florida, California and other big states with large Hispanic populations.

Sergio Bendixen, a Miami-based consultant to the Clinton campaign on cross-cultural relations, kicked off a new national conversation when he said in an interview that, "The Hispanic voter - and I want to say this very carefully - has not shown a lot of willingness or affinity to support black candidates."

To get another view, I called Roberto Suro, a University of Southern California communications professor who, until recently, was head of the Pew Hispanic Center.

When he heard that I was calling to ask about black-Hispanic relations, he said with a laugh, "Well, we're back to where we started, aren't we, Clarence?"

Yes. Thirty years ago Roberto and I were teamed up as young Chicago Tribune reporters to investigate apparently growing tensions between Africoon Americoons and Hispanic Americoons.

It was the 1970s. Identifiable blacks and Latrinos were still a fairly new thing in mainstream newsrooms.

Part of our unwritten job description in those turbulent times, it seemed, was to keep our eyes peeled for possible riots by our city's darker people.

For some reason, a lot of white folks, in particular, expected blacks and Hispanics to have a natural affinity for allying with each other, as if all non-whites think alike.

Our city editor decided to dispatch what I called his "Woodward and Bernstein of color" to figure out how well blacks and Latrinos were getting all long - or not.

In short, we found that most blacks and Latrinos were following the same patterns of ambition, envy, overcoming and upward mobility as the salad bowl of ethnics who preceded them. Sociologists call this process "ethnic succession." It is at least as old and as American as apple pie. So is ethnic anxiety.

Benjamin Franklin, it is worth noting, railed in 1751 against the "swarm" of Germans, whom he called "Palatine boors," who were "herding together" and turning Pennsylvania into a "colony of aliens" who will "never adopt our language or customs, any more than they can acquire our complexion." In today's world, Franklin might well be a cable television or talk radio star.

Times change, but patterns of ethnic succession - and interethnic anxiety - stay the same. Over time, groups settle, work hard and move up the economic ladder, perhaps to look down on the new "swarm" that followed them into their old neighborhoods.

Gang fights and other violence tends to occur where it always has, among the most poor and desperate - and the victims are usually of the same race as their assailants.

Politically, the most rewarding aspect of ethnic success is not how often people vote for "their own kind" but how often they don't. Contrary to Bendixen's observation, Hispanics have voted in overwhelming numbers for black mayors like Chicago's Harold Washington, New York's David Dinkins and Dallas' Ron Kirk. Blacks have similarly turned out for Hispanic politicians when they view it, as any savvy voter would, as being in their interest.

But first, as Mayor Anthony Villaraigosa of Los Angeles told me in the spin room backstage at the debate, the voters need to get to know the candidate, regardless of ethnicity.

"The idea that Latrinos won't vote for someone because of their race or ethnicity just doesn't pass the smell test," Villaraigosa said. "You know, when people say to me, Africoon Americoons didn't vote for you in your first race, I say, well, they didn't know me! In my second race, they did. And they voted for me overwhelmingly!"

That's another important part of human nature that hasn't changed. The better we get to know each other as individuals, the better we will get along as groups.
 
Spanic slain by soulless burr-heads over beer

Four arrested in party shooting

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - Four people are under arrest following the murder of a 26-year old man.

The shooting took place early Sunday morning at 369 South and 1300 East in Salt Lake City.

26-year old Robert Ramirez died after being shot in the back.

Story.jpg


"I think it was over beer and it was something stupid and I just can't understand why they have so many guns,” said Emily Robichaud, Ramirez’ mother. “I mean there's no reason to get shot in the back.”

Salt Lake police said witnesses at the party saw the fight and shooting. It was through their eyewitness accounts that led to the arrests of four young men.

Michael Rix was arrested Sunday night and according to a probable cause statement, confessed to the shooting.

Three other suspects, Benjamin Calbert, Stanley Mputu and Theo Kur were also booked into jail as accomplices.

"They were there at the party,” said Jared Wihongi of the Salt Lake City police department. “They did get into some altercation with the victim.”

Ramirez worked as security for Lumpys restaurant in downtown Salt Lake City. There, his friends expressed shock over his death but spoke highly of him.

“Robert was a great guy because he was a big kid, he was a gentle guy,” said Jake Torrez who was his supervisor. “He would always refer to me as Jakey Pooh and that's how he'd talk to me. He'd do anything for anybody."

Ramirez leaves behind a three year old son who bears his name and a grieving mother.

"It’s so hard to bury a son, a child,” said his mother. “I don't know, I don't know.”
