Multiple shots were fired near and in front of a home on Franklin Street about 11 p.m. Saturday, but only the boy was struck, Sgt. Chris Mazzone said. The boy was treated at a nearby hospital for a non-life-threatening wound. A 23-year-old man walking with the boy later noticed that he had a bullet hole in his shirt, but he was not harmed, the sergeant said. During the party, attendees learned that DJ was involved in a gang and determined that it was "disrespectful" for him to be there,'Mazzone said. A short while later, the DJ and a partygoer got into an argument in front of the home, during which the DJ pulled out a sharp object and threatened to harm people, witnesses told police. A few minutes later, an estimated six shots were fired by man in a car who was wearing a royal blue rag over his face. Partygoers told police that they believe the shots were intended to scare the crowd -- many of whom were clad in red -- that had gathered in front of the home, the sergeant said. Fremont police have turned the investigation over to the Southern Alameda County Gang Violence Suppression Task Force.   News Topics | Surenos | Home | Research | History | Blood Gangs | Crip Gangs | People | Gallery | Blog |
