A federal grand jury has indicted ten alleged members of “the 19th Street/16thStreet Sureños” for their roles in seven Bay Area murders, Acting United States Attorney Alex Tse announced Friday.
The murders happened between 2006 and 2013 in San Francisco and Richmond, according to officials.
The indictment, filed March 20, 2018, was unsealed Friday following the arrest of six defendants.
A seventh defendant was taken into custody from the Santa Clara County Jail. Three other defendants are currently in the custody of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
The indictment alleges that the 19th Street/16th Street Sureños uses violence to enforce its own rules and to attack members of rival gangs, principally members of the Norteño gang.
Nine of the defendants are accused of being directly involved in at least one murder, and a tenth is alleged to have helped plan a ”hunt” which led to one of the murders.
