P. v. Gutierrez CA2/3
Gutierrez and Jacobo were members of the City Terrace gang, whose main rival was the Geraghty Lomas gang. On August 7, 2011, at about 1:30 a.m., Martha G. drove her van to Duke’s liquor store. Martha’s passengers included her husband Joel, her stepson Santiago, and Santiago’s friend, Ernie. The liquor store was within territory claimed by the Geraghty Lomas gang. Ernie and Santiago went into the store to buy beer while Martha and Joel waited in the van. Santiago was walking with a crutch.
Just after Ernie and Santiago entered the liquor store, a pickup truck parked at the front entrance. Jacobo got out of the truck and went into the liquor store, where he appeared to exchange words with either Ernie or Santiago, or both of them. Jacobo made his purchase and left the store. Immediately afterward, Santiago and Ernie completed their purchase and left the store.
