It's been a busy month for me trying to keep on top of all the gang related news this month.  Honestly I'm falling a bit behind.. Trying to juggle work, family and keeping up with the website takes a lot out of me.  I have a lot of ideas for the website, I hope I can get to them all.  Here is a little rundown of what's been going on.

  • In the past month I've taken over 100 gang graffiti photos in Yakima, Portland, Longview, Centralia, and Bellevue.  Check out my Flickr page to view all of them.
  • Tracking down info on the latest homicide in Seattle (14th of the year).  On 5/16/12, Courtney "Indoe" Taylor was shot and killed on Rainier Avenue South.  He was a member of "Down Wit The Crew".  You can check out photos of him on his REVERBNATION page.
  • I got a new photo from the W/S 18th Street gang in Walla Walla, WA.  It was taken after the funeral for their fallen home boy Cesar "Lil Grumpy" Chavira.  He was shot and killed during a burglary.  (See photo below)
  • I still would like to get the Montana gang listing back online.  If you can contribute any info on gangs in Montana please send me a email at, northwestgangs@gmail.com

That's about all for now.  If something comes up, I'll be sure to check in here.

Busy week... 07/28/2011
 
I just posted yet another name to the "Gang-Related deaths" section, 3rd one this week.  There was a fatal shooting in Soap Lake, Washington this morning.  The victim is 18-year old Luis "Yapperz" Martinez.  Although the police are playing dumb, and aren't saying this is a gang-related shooting, I'm telling you it is.  I've been told the victim is from Little Valley Lokotes 13, and the two suspects arrested are twin brothers from the rival West Side 18th Street Gang.  

That's all for now.
