The Ontario, Oregon Police Department released their 2011 annual report.  With it they identified six active gangs in their city.  I didn't have three of the gangs listed on my website, (Dominguez Varrio, Little Valley Lokotes, and Nortenos 14).  I have updated my listing with those three now on there.  Click the link below to read their annual report.

It's been a busy month for me trying to keep on top of all the gang related news this month.  Honestly I'm falling a bit behind.. Trying to juggle work, family and keeping up with the website takes a lot out of me.  I have a lot of ideas for the website, I hope I can get to them all.  Here is a little rundown of what's been going on.

  • In the past month I've taken over 100 gang graffiti photos in Yakima, Portland, Longview, Centralia, and Bellevue.  Check out my Flickr page to view all of them.
  • Tracking down info on the latest homicide in Seattle (14th of the year).  On 5/16/12, Courtney "Indoe" Taylor was shot and killed on Rainier Avenue South.  He was a member of "Down Wit The Crew".  You can check out photos of him on his REVERBNATION page.
  • I got a new photo from the W/S 18th Street gang in Walla Walla, WA.  It was taken after the funeral for their fallen home boy Cesar "Lil Grumpy" Chavira.  He was shot and killed during a burglary.  (See photo below)
  • I still would like to get the Montana gang listing back online.  If you can contribute any info on gangs in Montana please send me a email at, northwestgangs@gmail.com

That's about all for now.  If something comes up, I'll be sure to check in here.
