19-year-old Joshua Moore is a “confirmed” Bloods gang member, according to court records based on information supplied from Cumberland County Jail.

Charged with murder in the June 2009 stabbing death of 19-year-old Joshua Moore is a “confirmed” Bloods gang member, according to court records based on information supplied from Cumberland County Jail.Marvin German Jr., 19, of Coral Avenue in Bridgeton, was indicted for first-degree murder.He was also indicted for third-degree aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, third-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and third-degree unlawful possession of a weapon, for allegedly having in his possession the knife used to stab Moore to death during a June 12, 2009, fight on Nichols Street in Bridgeton.German is being held on $800,000 bail at Cumberland County Jail, where jail officials said an investigation resulted in the jail confirming his gang affiliation.The information connecting German to the Bloods street gang can be accessed from the public information terminal at the Cumberland County Courthouse.A girlfriend of Moore said last year that she anticipated police would try and portray the stabbing as gang-related, but denied this was the case.The same source at the county courthouse shows German is facing drug charges pertaining to an incident which occurred a day after Moore’s death.
Moore was stabbed during an altercation in an alleyway located between two rows of homes in the Bridgeton Commons (HOPE VI) housing development, between East Avenue and Walnut Street, north of Irving Avenue.He was pronounced dead shortly after midnight June 13. He had been stabbed once in the upper torso — the knife pierced his heart.German was arrested about two weeks after the incident after interviews with dozens of people allegedly at the scene of the crime.Court records show German has a past record of drug, burglary and assault charges, all of which have been either dismissed or downgraded.

Timothy “Fuzzy” Timms, a 45-year-old member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle club, stood up Monday for his First Amendment right to freedom of expression. Timms, a resident of the San Diego community of South Park, refused to take off a black leather vest with the motorcycle club's “death's head” insignia when he reported for jury duty. He's a big burly man, 5 feet 8 inches, 250 pounds, with a full beard and auburn-colored, shoulder-length hair. At 7:45 a.m., Timms' stance got him booted from the San Diego Superior Court's Hall of Justice by sheriff's deputies, along with another Hells Angel who also refused to remove his insignia vest. Nine hours later, representatives of both the Superior Court and the sheriff's department apologized to Timms and club member Mick Rush for “misunderstanding” an order issued April 24 by Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Fraser. Rush also had been reporting for jury duty. “It all boils down to a misunderstanding of Judge Fraser'

LaAunzae was a Vice Lord, and Donald Ragland was a Gangster Disciple

2005 execution-style murder in Frayser was a case marked by "gangs, guns and death." And not incidentally, they added, there was an element of revenge when defendant Donald Ragland Jr. shot 26-year-old LaAunzae Grady three times in the back on a cold December afternoon outside of St. Elmo's Market."He didn't have a problem taking this job, because LaAunzae had killed his brother five or six years before this," gang unit prosecutor Ray Lepone told a Criminal Court jury. "LaAunzae was a Vice Lord, and Donald Ragland was a Gangster Disciple."Asst. Public Defender Trent Hall said prosecutors would not be able to prove their case and asked jurors to acquit Ragland, 27, of first-degree murder.On Wednesday, jurors watched a surveillance video from the store that showed an apparently nervous Grady looking out the front door of the store several times before finally leaving.A half-dozen loud gunshots then quickly follow, though the shooting on the outside p
