150 Gang Members Indicted In Racist Shootings
LOS ANGELES (AP) ― About 150 members and associates of a predominantly Latino street gang have been indicted in the shootings of black victims and other crimes, authorities said Thursday.
Federal and local agencies were conducting a series of arrests targeting members and associates of the Varrio Hawaiian Gardens street gang, U.S. Attorney's Office spokesman Thom Mrozek said.
A series of federal racketeering indictments due to be unsealed later Thursday will detail the attacks on several black victims and specify firearms, narcotics and other charges related to the attacks, Mrozek said. Further details were not released.
The indictments mark at least the second time in less than two years that federal authorities have accused Latino gang members of attacking black residents because of their race. Local officials have tried to downplay racial tensions.
