A history of gang violence

By Carlos Villatoro

Ten years ago, Napa teen Michael Arreguin was shot and killed in a gang-related incident. In the aftermath, people ranging from school and government officials to law enforcement officers and community volunteers came together to suppress gang activity.

In December 2007, Ricardo Gonzalez was shot and killed in a gang-related incident. Today, police report a general increase in gang-related crime.
