Early Wednesday, L.A.police went throughout the San Fernando Valley and other parts of L.A. in search of several documented members of the Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, gang who they believe are responsible for a recent spate of violence in North Hollywood.
During a ride-along with Rampart Division's Lt. Craig Heredia, MS-13 graffiti was found throughout the neighborhood. Los Angeles police believe the criminal street gang is trying to establish itself in the San Fernando Valley.
The Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement that the search warrant operation was the agency’s attempt to not only find out more about the death of a 34-year-old homeless man, who investigators believe might have been killed by MS-13 members in January, but also to send a clear message to the criminal street gang that their “presence will not be tolerated in the San Fernando Valley or anywhere within the city of Los Angeles.
“They shot him for no reason,” Peteque said of the suspects, adding that those who went inside the park were subject to violence and harassment.
