Moorpark gang skirmish with Simi Valley gang

Several members of a Moorpark gang who live in Simi came to 1184 Arcane St. to pick up a female who was visiting the occupants, members of a rival Simi Valley gang. A fight broke out in front of the residence at 10:53 p.m., according to police reports.
Simi Police Sgt. Darin Muehler, who works in the department's Special Problems Section, said the fight was not over the female but erupted due to prior run-ins between the individuals.
Someone inside the home on Arcane made the initial call to officers, Muehler said. "We don't get called on every time there's a skirmish between groups," Lt. Mike King said. "But when it is in a public place . . . we do get calls."
During the fight, Ronald "Tony" Anderson and a 16yearold juvenile, both of Simi Valley, received knife wounds to their head, chest, neck and hands/arms along with blunt trauma injuries caused by a bat. The suspects fled the scene in a vehicle immediately after the attack. The victims' injuries were not life-threatening. After their release from Simi Valley Hospital, both victims were arrested on warrants for unrelated charges. "They were not arrested for charges stemming from this fight," Muehler said, adding that it is up to the district attorney's office to file further charges against the victims. The suspects' vehicle was seen on First Street in Simi Valley the next day. German DelRio, 20, and a 16-year-old juvenile were arrested without incident. A third suspect, a 17-year-old juvenile, was arrested on Feb. 13 at Apollo High School in connection with the assault. King and Muehler said this type of attack is uncommon in Simi. The last gang-related incident, also a stabbing, was reported in October 2007 and remains unsolved.
"This is not a frequent occurrence," Muehler said. "The big picture should be . . . the stabbing happened on a Tuesday night, by Friday morning everyone was in jail." Both officers said the department's gang unit understands the dynamics between rival gangs and is continually checking up on known affiliates.
"This was wrapped up so quickly because we know these guys," Muehler said. "We know who and where the players are."
The Special Problems Section is continuing to investigate the incident.

Four people were arrested on suspected drug charges, including the group's leader.Methamphetamine was found at the Gypsy Joker Motorcycle Club compound at West 19th Avenue and South Gum Street. Benton County Undersheriff Paul Hart said they needed so many officers as a "precautionary" step because the Gypsy Jokers are known to be connected to drugs and other criminal activities."It is an outlaw motorcycle gang with convicted felons who reside there," Hart said. "We gear up to meet that threat."Some stolen property and a couple of weapons also were seized, he said.

William (Billy) Bowden pleaded guilty in a Winnipeg courtroom today to carrying a firearm in a careless manner in January 2007

William (Billy) Bowden, 33, pleaded guilty in a Winnipeg courtroom today to carrying a firearm in a careless manner in January 2007 and skipping out on his preliminary hearing about a year later. Other drug and weapons charges related to the 2007 incident were stayed as part of a plea bargain securing the two convictions. Bowden remains in custody though, charged with manslaughter in relation to the November 2007 killing of Jeff Engen, who was fatally stabbed at the Empire Cabaret, prompting the club to close. That charge remains before the courts. Bowden has been in custody since he was arrested Feb. 14 in Whistler, B.C., and returned to Manitoba. The Crown and defence jointly recommended that time be noted in his sentence for carrying the firearm. That crime occurred around 2:30 a.m. on Jan. 20, 2007, as Bowden was leaving the NV lounge in a truck with friend Ken Houston, court heard. Police discovered a Glock 9mm handgun loaded with 18 bullets in a pile of garbage close to where the...

Oak Park gang member charged in the shooting death of one of his homeboys while they were out on a retaliation attack in rival territory.

Closing arguments began today in the murder trial of a reputed Oak Park gang member charged in the shooting death of one of his homeboys while they were out on a retaliation attack in rival territory.Deputy District Attorney Anthony Ortiz said as many as 30 shots were fired in the June 27, 2005, broad-daylight shooting on Della Circle in the Florin area. One of the shots fired by defendant Denishio Demmitrius Collins, 26, killed David Perkins, 22, one of the eight gang members from the Oak Park Bloods who filled three cars in the assault on a rival Crip set, according to Ortiz."This wasn't an in-the-dark sneak attack," Ortiz said. "These were people who said 'screw it' - this is our war and we're going to bring it to your streets." After the shooting, the Oak Park gang members dumped the dying Perkins out of one of their vehicles and left him to die, Ortiz said."He was left on a sidewalk to die by his homeboys," the prosecutor said.
