The following are in-depth stories I have written about gangs in northern San Diego County:
- A federal indictment of 119 gang members detailed just how the Mexican Mafia controls local Latino street gangs.
- An exploration of gang life from the perspectives of a 14-year-old boy who grew up fantasizing about being a gang member and a 41-year-old Mexican Mafia initiate who has become hunted by those he once called brothers.
- A story of how prison politics led local Latino gangs to target blacks for violence.
