Evan Joel Alfred from Swans pleads guilty
LOS ANGELES – A 17-year-old gang member pleaded guilty to murder and other counts today for the shooting deaths of two men last summer, the District Attorney’s Office announced.
Deputy District Attorney Sean Coen of Hardcore Gang Division said Evan Joel Alfred pleaded guilty to two counts of murder with special circumstances, one count of second-degree robbery and one count of attempting to dissuade a witness.
Judge Peter Espinoza ordered the defendant back for sentencing on July 24 in Dept. 123 of Los Angeles Superior Court. The defendant, whose jury trial was set to begin today, pleaded “open” to the court, which means that there was no plea agreement with the District Attorney’s Office.
Seated in the back seat of a Cadillac on June 25, 2007, the defendant allegedly shot the driver in the back of the head and then twice shot a front-seat passenger – first in the back, as the man attempted to run, and then in the head as he fell back into the car, wounded. The attack was seemingly motivated by $1,000 cash carried by the driver and the prospect of taking the vehicle, prosecutors said.
Alfred, a documented member of the 79 Swans whose moniker is “Toon,” was arrested hours later by Los Angeles Police Department officers of 77th Street Division. Upon recovering the vehicle, officers found its interior covered in blood and brain matter.
The victim’s bodies were found in an alley within a two-block radius of where the crime occurred, between Stanford Avenue and Avalon Boulevard, along east 84th Place in Los Angeles. Subsequent DNA testing of the defendant’s clothing and shoes – which also were covered in blood – linked him to the scene.
Alfred faces a maximum of two consecutive sentences of life without the possibility of parole.

Re: Swans
Whats funny about this whole thread is that im sitting reading this guy make the popes SEEM HELLA big or a FORCe!!! But to people in LA who've havent been to chicago may go
" Well the name is gay but I really dont know about Chi-Town."
Well, I do, The Popes was the ONLY gang that I seen didnt have corner or NOTHING. I was put up on GAME by every threat in Chi-town why I was there ( from a GD rep in his projects.) But like I said, he expressed of course the threat of the BPS, 4 Corner Hustlaz, Latin Kingz, Latin Disciples, Saintek Disciples, King Cobras, ALL GD Lit and even the EL RUKEN's!!!! ( Ive actually seen these gangs projects and CORNER/Borderline Hustling. )
Anyone find anything funny about what I said?
The Popes didnt even get introduced to me, until I read this idiots posts.
Popes, only refer to one thing = A fucking life savor? Si? LOL
Madd Swans / Family Swans - A Family of Swans ( The Animal ) have a very structred way of raising the youngone's which means = Organization!!! A Swan is a Bird and That also means = DOPE!!!! A Swan can Fly in ANY WHEATHER = We can take anything that comes at us. A Swan also means = WE FLY HOMIE
Now thats the RIGHT DEFINITION and THE BREAKDOWN in HOOD terms what a SWAN means.
Now Define POPE, you idiot.
