I'm trying to keep on top of this latest violence in South Seattle.  I've been getting a lot of emails and such about this.  I believe there is some kind of a gang tie to this.  The older victim has been confirmed at George "P-Nutt" Hendricks, he was one of the original 74 Hoover members in Seattle.  The second victim is Lucky Mike Dozier.  It is said he was from Sacramento, California.  I will update my website with more information as I come across it.  Be Safe!

Hey everyone, a lot of different things going on this past week.  The City of Yakima reported their 2nd gang homicide of the year.  A "South Side Familia 13" gang member was shot and killed over the weekend.  Also I've been following a gang story out of Eugene, Oregon.  I guess two rival gangs "West Side Piru" and "S/S Playboys 13" were involved in some potential gun play.

I'm really hoping I can get out and take graffiti photos this Saturday.  My target area will be Tacoma-Lakewood, and Federal Way.  Then in about 2 weeks I'm going to try my best to make it out to Grant County.  That all depends on weather conditions and my car. 

Anyways thanks for following and check back later!

This week I've been keeping close track of a big news story out of Wenatchee.  One week ago two little boys were killed in a house fire.  WPD are calling it a arson/homicide that was gang motivated.  So far they have kept quiet on what gang was targeted, but a unidentified source has told me that "Brick City 13" gang members occupied the home.  I plan on traveling to Wenatchee this weekend to see what I can dig up.

Also last night Portland Police were investigating yet another gang-related homicide.  By my count it was Portland's 8th gang homicide this year, far outpacing any other Northwest city.  The victim has been identified as Vinesh "Scrappy-Ru" Prasad, 19-years old.  From my research I have been able to figure out the gang he belonged to was "Lok'd Out Piru", a Blood gang in Portland.

That's all for now, but check back soon for updated info!

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.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to find out info on a homicide that took place in Prosser last night.  I'm seeing a lot of people associated with Bell Gardens Lokotes gang paying respect to someone named "Rivers".  I'm sure I will be able to get more info on this in the next day or two.  Hit me up if you've heard anything.
