P. v. Castaneda CA3
L.R. and M.G. are cousins and former members of the Red Krewe Norteños, a subset of the Norteños criminal street gang. L.R. and M.G. were hanging out at L.R.’s house on the evening of March 17, 2016, St. Patrick’s Day. They drank beer for several hours. During the course of the evening, L.R. checked Facebook and saw photographs posted by another cousin, Rosemarie. L.R. reached out to Rosemarie through Facebook in hopes of getting together.
Rosemarie had been celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with her cousin and roommate, “Rita.” Rosemarie and Rita shared an apartment with Ramirez, who was Rosemarie’s boyfriend and a current member of the Red Krewe Norteños. Rosemarie and Rita spent several hours barhopping before meeting up with Ramirez. The trio continued barhopping and eventually found themselves at a bar called the Spot, where they would soon be joined by Castaneda and Labrasca.
