Descripción del sitio

Constantino Cruz, 27. Died of gunshot wounds May 20 in his car outside his parents' Aloha home. Cruz had apparently beaten up gang rival Casimiro Blancas in a fistfight the day before. Blancas returned with several other men to avenge the beating. After the carload of 12th Streeters spotted Cruz's vehicle, three men got out, shots were fired and Cruz drove into a retaining wall on Southwest 206th Avenue near Rock Road in Aloha trying to evade his attackers. Blancas open Cruz's door and stabbed him repeatedly. Blancas and two other men -- Luis Alberto Gonzalez and Jildardo Blancas-Perez -- were convicted of murder and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. In addition, Pablo Alejandro Guzman pleaded guilty to manslaughter and assault was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Salvador Rivera-Ramirez and Nicolas Jaimes Jr. pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide. Rivera-Ramirez was sentenced to to 18 months in prison, while Jaimes was sentenced to six months in jail and five years probation.
