FOR THE RECORD:
'I'm from TMC (a local gang that is allied with East Coast Crips)]. "Can you imagine . . . a 6-year-old boy saying that ?"
Ironically, police note, the charge was led by a youthful Latino gang that once had been closely allied with the Crips, welcoming numerous black members and adopting their tastes in fashion, music and slang. Derided by other Latino gangs for betraying their culture, the racially mixed gang felt it had to turn against the Crips to finally win respect.
"It offended us because a lot of people said we acted black and dressed black," said one 20-year-old Latino from the gang. "We had to show that we were true Chicanos." ]He acknowledged that the rift with the Crips had made relations tense with the few remaining black members of his gang, even though he still values their friendship. "We play the role, like we all get along and everything's fine
One of the recent homicide victims, 18-year-old Jermaine McGee, an African-American, was on his way home last month from his work as a security guard at a McDonald's restaurant on Fourth Street when he was shot to death. At first, the police could identify neither motive nor suspect. But right away the word on the street went out that he was a victim of Latino gangbangers.

Gang Member Sentenced to Life for Slaying Baby
A 21-year-old gang member was sentenced Friday to life in prison without parole for the drive-by shooting death of a 10-month-old girl last year in Compton, court officials said.
Jesse Michael Sosa of Long Beach was convicted March 19 of the first-degree murder of Kylah Witrago. The jury found that the baby was intentionally killed for racial reasons because of ethnic epithets yelled from the car just before the deadly shots rang out.
Kylah was the only child younger than 5 to die in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles County last year, according to the coroner's office.

First came the bullets, slamming into Robert Lee Johnson's leg and foot two weeks ago as he watched videos in the living room of his rented house in Norwalk. Then, at 4 a.m. Saturday, a firebomb exploded on his front porch, burning down the house. The flames sent Johnson, 40, his wife, Camilla Green, and seven of their children and grandchildren, ages 2 to 22, running into the night. Johnson said he reopened the healing wounds as he hopped out of the house, leaving his crutches, while his wife handed the smaller children to him over a chain-link fence.
Johnson, who is African American, and his landlord, who is white, say both attacks were attempts by a Latino street gang to drive Johnson and his family from the neighborhood
Los Angeles Times-Hawiian Gardens
Black residents say they still don't dare to walk the streets at night. They remember the two men shot point-blank. They remember the young man beaten to death with a baseball bat by a mob in the supermarket parking lot. They remember police tailing children walking home from school to protect them from racist attacks.
The assailants in the hate crimes were not neo-Nazis, but members of a generations-old Latino gang.
In Los Angeles County, more violent hate crimes have been committed by Latinos--the county's largest racial group--than whites.
At first, the gang roughed up black teenagers walking home from school. The attacks soon moved to African American homes. Several houses were hit by Molotov cocktails.
Shoppers saw the mob--which included women and men--stomp and kick Henry, then bash his head with an aluminum baseball bat, police said.Radames Gil, a former Hawaiian Gardens police detective, described Henry's skull as shattered to the point that "it was spider-webbed."
In one case recorded by the county Human Relations Commission, a black man was beaten while washing a car. When his attackers found out the car actually belonged to a Latino friend, they beat the Latino man for befriending an African American
One 14-year-old said he defied his two older brothers, both gang members, by inviting black friends to the family's apartment. His mother stood watch as they played Nintendo. "When my brothers came home, she'd yell and we'd go out the back and jump off the balcony," he said
The attack marked the latest in a series of incidents involving African-Americans and Latinos that began Monday, when Latino gang members threatened to "shoot up the house" of an African-American family if they did not move, police said. On Tuesday, a group of Latinos beat up a 24-year-old black man as he walked past a gas station, Johnson said. On Friday, two Latinos were slightly injured when shots were fired from a car in which four African-Americans were riding, Johnson said.
Los Angeles Times: East L.A
Two weeks ago, Clifford Warren and his wife were watching late-night television when an explosion ripped through the pantry of their Ramona Gardens apartment in Boyle Heights.
Not until the couple and their seven small children were safely out did Warren realize that the fire had been caused not by a faulty water heater but by a firebomb. Or that across the street, another black family had been firebombed minutes earlier.

LOS ANGELES
4 Alleged Latino Gang Members Indicted in Killing
They are accused of federal weapons and civil rights violations, including murdering a black motorist in L.A. because of his race.
By David Rosenzweig, Times Staff Writer
Four alleged members of a Latino street gang that waged a campaign of terror against African Americans in Highland Park have been indicted on federal weapons and civil rights charges, including the racially motivated slaying of a black motorist, the U.S. attorney's office announced Friday.
Prosecutors said the four, who could face the death penalty if convicted, are members of a clique of the Avenues street gang, which has been a fixture on the Eastside of Los Angeles for 50 years.
Two years ago, the city attorney's office obtained an injunction barring gang members from congregating in a 9.7-square-mile area that includes Highland Park. But a Los Angeles police detective who has tracked them said Friday they are still a potent force.
All four defendants are accused of taking part in the killing of Kenneth Kurry Wilson, 38, a black man who was gunned down April 18, 1999, while parking his car on a street claimed by the gang.
According to the indictment, the Avenues gang members spotted Wilson as they drove by in a stolen van. Three of them allegedly piled out of the vehicle and rushed Wilson, mortally wounding him with a barrage of bullets fired from a shotgun and two pistols.
Those indicted were Gilbert Saldana, 26, one of the alleged triggermen, who is serving a life sentence in state prison for another murder; Merced Cambero, also 26, the second alleged gunman, who is still being sought; and two men accused of acting as lookouts: Alejandro Martinez, 27, and Fernando Cazares, 24. Martinez was arrested by SWAT team officers Friday morning. Cazares is serving time in state prison for an unrelated conviction.
The third gunman, Jose De La Cruz, was convicted in 2002 and sentenced to life in state prison.
Det. John Berdin, who heads the homicide squad at the LAPD's Northeast Division, helped track down De La Cruz and participated in the FBI investigation that led to the indictment of the other alleged attackers.
"It's been a long and hard five years putting this case together," Berdin said Friday. "And the FBI was just terrific committing its resources to the investigation."
In addition to Wilson's killing,the indictment cited several other attacks against blacks by the Avenues gang. They included the beating of a man who was seen walking with a Latino woman, a murder plot against a man who had just moved into the neighborhood, an assault on a group of men playing basketball in Montecito Park, and the beating of an African American who stopped to use a pay phone on the street.
Berdin said the Avenues gang has about 800 members and is broken down into smaller sets or cliques.
The four men indicted in connection with Wilson's killing were members of the Avenues 43 clique set, which has about 80 to 100 members, according to the LAPD detective.
He said their hatred of blacks runs deep: "A lot of this comes from their strong ties to the Mexican Mafia," a prison-based gang that is strongly anti-black

the attacks began last weekend on the African American couple.
First it was Latino gang graffiti sprayed Saturday night on the outside retaining wall of Daniels' home. The graffiti included a racial slur. Daniels painted over it. Two days later, there was more graffiti on the wall. Again he painted.
But the graffiti was mild compared to what happened next. At 2 a.m. Thursday, Daniels awoke to discover his 1980 Buick sedan engulfed in flames as it sat in his driveway. His dream home had turned into a nightmare

Los Angeles police are searching for an alleged gang member in connection with the slaying, apparently racially motivated, of a 42-year-old black man along Plaza Del Amo in Harbor Gateway on Tuesday night. The suspect was identified Friday as Fredrico "Dreamer" Estrada, 21. Police said they believe Estrada killed Danny Dwayne Warren, who was walking in the 1500 block of Plaza Del Amo with an unnamed male acquaintance Tuesday night when three Latino gang members approached them from behind and fired between five and seven shots. Warren's friend was uninjured, police added.
The shooter reportedly uttered racial slurs after the killing.

Maggie Houston remembers the shots that flew over her head minutes after a 13-year-old Latino boy had murdered an 11-year-old African American boy to earn entry into a street gang.
The youth, riding a bike, had spotted Houston, a 48-year-old African American woman, on her doorstep and decided to shoot at her too.

In Riverside, according to police, the Mexican Mafia ordered a Latino gang to sever its alliance with a black gang that shares the same turf. After some hesitation, the Latino gang eventually turned against the Crips, inciting a racially charged battle that last month took the life of an 18-year-old Latino gang member--a youth who detectives say was among those most resistant to opening
