" So is Jaime Peña in custody too? "

" Wow, this just keeps getting better....... i think they need to get the right people first! Stay strong Danny, c ya soon! "

" Thank You NPD for actually finding justice for the hommies grumpy death...and many more to still come and get charged with Grumpys death you know the gang cops are really the best thank to them and all the other investigators grumpys mom can have peace to know that the ones who where thier are getting time So when was jaime pena found??since he fled to Mexico??? "

" "He’s innocent. He didn't know what was going on". He was there and fighting the rival gang members, how does that make him innocent? I was not there nor am I in a gang, that makes me innocent!! All the friends and family continue to write that they have arrested the wrong people, is that because you know who did it or are you making these statements based only on the fact that you think your friend could never have done this? If you know or they know then why not man up and tell the NPD who did it and walk away a free man? Sounds easy enough to me. "

" WOW!!!!! they have a 5th man.....i guess these young kids cant keep their mouth's shut! ha ha...i guess Napa P.D is going to make these kids BREAK!(way to much pressure for them)....and they call themselves "GANGSTERS" ha ha funny....and i thought "NO SNITCHING" was the code on the streets. i can't wait to hear the conclusion of this story because 5 or more people couldn't pull the trigger for one shot.so many questions still unanswered. "

" to 49er: yep they just keep trying to arrest more and more people but never the shooter or the ones who drove Ricardo to his death. Could it be that the NPD is more partial to surenos? As a mother I would want all the boys that picked up my son and drove him to a gang fight where he paid the price by losing his life...as well as the shooter. "

" As this article states, Barrios is the only one who went to prison for the vandalism that happened in November...and he was shot in the wrist by a sureno that night. I want to know why that case isnt pursued by the NPD because that is clearly attempted murder. But case closed because they solved the vandalism part....come on NPD "

" Despite all the support for what appear to be a band of gangbangers, it sounds like they're receiving their due. If all of you have information to help clear your family and friends facing life sentences maybe you'll come forward and do the right thing.

It's the 'honor among theives' code that seems to cause these sweeps. But, to be honest, if these are gangsters I'm glad they're all off the street. "

" So wait before there was only four guys now there is five??? are we missing part of this story NVR?...when did they arrest the other one?...and to 49er..they do have the right guy in custody(now)..just ask them who pulled the trigger and they will point to one guy!...They know who!!!...Good Job NPD!!!

One more thing...did you know that Jaime was Ricardos cousin??...how sad that 2 stupid colors are more powerful that blood!!! "

" This is my point on every story relating to these guys!! If you feel or know who did it why not tell the NPD? Do you really know or is it a hunch? I don't understand why you would go away for life when you don't have to.
FreeBarrios / 49er, it is clear you know these gang members so why will they not tell the complete truth? Is it because they put their gang creed before their own life? I am not picking on you or singling you out I truly don't understand. "

" Somebody over there talking the talk Mr. Barrios is already in a band that sings for the cops I'am sure he will be a big help for the Napa police on this one rats will do anything they can to survive.

winghunter-"If you know or they know then why not man up and tell the NPD who did it and walk away a free man? Sounds easy enough to me."

haha wow "man up" "tell" haha wow from your point of view yes i can see how that would be the better move but anybody who has done any time will tell you it will get ugly for them streets or in jail you will never be able to understand this "gang creed" but this all goes back to the lifestyle these young men chose to live its a cat and mouse game cops and robbers just some of those robbers carry around a "snitch blade" it would be good for the investigation to bring in Ricardos friends more robbers with more blades.

Dont worry people these big bad gangmembers will all end up doin time innocent and guilty alike "

" E_NapaFamMember, Huh! What are you talking about? "

" To Freebarrios
When stephen was shot in November why didn't he tell the police who shot him? I'm sure he knows who did it, or who the guy is friends with. Don't blame the Napa Pd for not investigating when The guy who got shot won't open his mouth and help with the investigation. Also I'm sure these guys knew what guys were in the car that drove Ricardo to the fight, why don't they tell the police who else was involved in the fight.
To 49er,
Who are the right people that need to get arrested? You sure seem confident that these guys didn't do it, so you must Know something that the police don't. Why don't you help these guys out and get them off the hook for a crime they didn't commit and tell the police who did it.
I can't wait for this trial to see how these guys are going to prove they are innocent. Detectives investigating a murder for almost a year usually get plenty of evidence to convict peole they arrest. "

" so why isn't Mr. Jaime Pena's Picture on Napa's most wanted NVR???...seems to me that should be update so we can keep an eye out for him or others that have not beem arrested...most people in the most wanted have already been arrested! "

" Wow, after teaching and directing i can't belive christian gallegos is facing murder charges. He is a very well rounded young man. He attended napa valley college and had a bright future of becoming a brain surgen. He always had a smile on his face and studied very hard. Im shocked and cried when i heard about this. Christian wouln't do this to anyone. I know it's hard to belief but i knew him since he was 7yrs old and i wouln't post this if i knew this was false. Christian is a bright man never on gang file or even had a tatoo. I remember him bieng at track and feild every afternoon. Its just a very hard time for him and his family and i hope napans can understand he doesn't deserve this. Make him serve time but at least time that is reasonable, not life in prison. That is basicaly killing them slowly if you haven't noticed. He is a very sweet perfectionist who got caught up in the wrong mess for bieng polite. How dare people use him to get out of there own messes. I hope the family can be strong and fight for fairness. He doesnt deserve this. If maybe the napa police department and gang cops would of been aware of this gang problem gettting so out of hand, then this would of never happend. Good job napa police you have the wrong guy. Stay strong christian things will get better. "

" Like "redredwine" and "valley_chick" I've also heard of Mr. Pena's involvement through the grapevine. So really where is he? And why isn't he in jail being charged like the rest of them? "

" To everyone thinking that i know more about that night..... I don't, I have known Danny Ortega, and Jaime Pena since they were lil boy's. They would never do something like this. Danny and Jaime Pena were in the wrong place at the wrong time, just like alot of other people were. You know it's funny how only one side is all being arrested, and none of Ricardo's friends have been arrested for being there that night, and being involved in the same fight. If you are gonna arrest these boy's for murder and being involved in a gang fight then you really need to get on the ball and round up alot more people including Ricardo's so called innocent friends. And to "valleychick"
If you are so sure that they have the right person now, then why have you not said anything before??????
To "brea" You have heard, wut have you heard? In a case like this you can't just go by hear say, or word of mouth, this is serious and can ruin the lives of these innocent people.
To "tiredofcomplainingnapkins"
I don't know who did it, all I know is that Danny and Jaime are innocent. They both are very loving and kind people. I know that everyone say's they are bad and evil gangmembers, but I know diffrent and these boy's are innocent and the truth will be known!
To "winghunter" I don't know why they won't say anything, can it be because they don't know who did it. If you think about it, when your involved in a big fight like that, involving about 50 people and you hear gunshots..... what's the 1st thing your gonna do????? either get on the ground or start running right? They don't know "

" my guess is their is a legal something or other that is allowing the state to charge them with the murder,......whether they pulled the trigger or not. Just sounds like an simpler way to clean house so to speak to get the gang members off the street. I mean those 2 brothers that got long sentences in prison for the murder of the young boy in Am Can both got murder charges and clearly only one shot the gun. I think it's pretty wise of the task force to find a way to sweep the streets clean. "

" to tired of complaining: Stephen didnt know who shot him. A truck pulled up from a side street and opened fire on him standing in the parking lot after he vandalized a car. He was still standing there dazed and injured when the police rolled up and arrested him. All the other guys had took off. Sound like he knows something? yeah right and a gang member waits on the corner bleeding, just waiting for the police to give him a ride to the hospital and then ends up in prison for vandalism. "

" to grapetownkid: do you think that maybe the ongoing investigation of one year led police to believe that jaime pena was involved? That same investigation led them to the first four that were arrested, didn't it? So maybe no one "snitched" "

" to 49er and freebarrios: like I've stated before, you think you know them because you watched them grow up but i am assuming you weren't there to witness the gang fight therefore regardless of what they are saying you weren't there to actually witness them no pulling a trigger or were you?. People affiliated with gangs are one way with friends and family and totally different when they are with their gang friends. you think you know them and for that reason you think they are not capable of such a crime. Irregardless of who pulled the triiger, they are still guilty of commiting a crime just for being there, I mean look at the recent news regarding those 2 brothers in American Canyon, only 1 pulled the trigger and they both got sentenced.

NVR needs to put up the picture of Jaime Pena so that we know what he looks like just in case we see him. No one has the right to take anyone's life and justice needs to be served. "

" To "napa_girl": Yes I do know for a fact that they didn't do this.....I do know them like that and one of my cousins was there and was arrested that night and then charges were dropped. None of these boys know who did it. Nobody was even paying attention, when they heard shots, everyone ran and took off. Who knows where the shots came from, they could have even came from the other side, has anyone ever thought about that? After all they did find one of Ricardo's friends out in front of Laurel St that same week with a loaded hand gun. It's called friendly fire! I don't know but I believe these boy's r innocent and I will believe that until they show evidence that they did do this, not just going by he/she said. I hope they have some good evidence like a murder weapon or something to prove them guilty! No I was not there napa_girl, thank god but I still will say they are innocent till proven otherwise. "

" good point 49er. Friendly fire is common in gang shootings. I also believe all 4 men are innocent of murder. I believe the NPD are getting their info from gang member...real reliable witnesses. And one more point, to E_napafam - not sure about your rambling but are insinuating that Barrios is singing to the police? Yeah right so he could be the only one serving prison on a charge that the NVR said involved a group of boys, and now sits in jail on a murder charge. The old saying was "snitch on 3, go home free" Barrios has not been "home free" since they arrested him in Dec. 2007. "

" Perfect example of the California Gang Crime Law. To my knowledge, When a member of a gang commits a crime, then all associated gang members can also be charged with that crime, since they pledged to commit crimes together as a group, hence the gang. Another reason why to choose good friends.

Good job NPD for getting to it and making these arrests. However Napa Register needs to get their act together, post the picture in your "feature" i know there are more then 4 or 5 wanted people in napa valley that have done worse crimes then receive stolen property. come on. "

" to everyone remember go to all court hearings to before you pass judement. remember mankind can make a judegement on everything we do or say god has the last word! "

" Gang member = death penalty.
Treat them as the terrorist that they are. They are all cowards. THAT is why they hide behind their gangs.
Gang member = death penalty.
End of story. "

" No gang member is innocent!
Idiots, they are the problem.
No-one wants to admit their family member would do something like this, especially if you are one of them. Might get caught... Maybe gangs are actually BAD!!! I think they should ALL get the death penalty. Start sending a message about what happens when you join a gang of rapist, drug dealing murderers. "
