Dead End Locos sought by cops*
The *shooting of a sheriff's deputy's mother in early July may have been a case of mistaken identity, according to a story by reporter Ruby Gonzales:
WHITTIER - Gang investigators say the July 6 shooting that wounded a deputy's 60-year-old mother was a case of mistaken identity.
They believe members of the Dead End Locos gang not only shot at the wrong house that night, the group also mistakenly tagged it two weeks ago.
Now deputies are asking for the public's help in finding three men wanted for questioning in the shooting in the 11700 block of Keith Drive.
One of two suspected shooters is already in custody and deputies have also recovered one gun and the getaway vehicle, a gold-colored Ford Explorer.
As for the mug shot. Here's the caption:

Why are the suspects usually young latinos with shaved heads and tattoos on their necks? The white and elderly and white, community members escape suspicion. But young, black and latino youth do not !!!!! It's because police psychology thrives and survives on the stereotype this means a sector of our society is being unfairly singled out and identified as 'suspicious' !!!!!!
If four young, latinos wearing white t-shirts and short haircuts and listening to loud rap music were to drive around in a gold-colored Ford Explorer carrying a gun they would be viewed as ‘suspicious’. My question is, is this fair? Ask the young innocent latinos like Rene 'Droopy" Amperano and they say, hell nah. Ask the old and the white and the old, and they say, "sure...who cares, as long as they aren't breaking any laws....why should they mind?"
Global, national and local histories have demonstrated that the people who do the policing need policing the most, not 'suspected' latino gang members. And if we disagree, I suspect it’s because you on the side of the equation of corrupt cops holding the guns.
nice, those madlibs came in handy.
Orale Jack u are on the reals ese. My homie Droopy is innocent, the jura planted the gun my homie Droopy. The police put the placas on the old ladies house and even shot her house. We all know all the huras are dirty, and plant guns on innocent sureno homies. pinche jura ..

East Side Dead End Locos - Por Vida
I have to admit Lil SnipEr is pretty funny.

First of all it's not Eastside it's Parkside Dead End Locos. I am a former Dead End Locos member and one of my cousins is being sought in conection to this shooting. There are a lot of under supervised LASD deputies working in the Pico Rivera Sheriff's Station. I have been subjected to a lot of wrong doing by a few of these deputies, but to go after ones family is something that is against the street code. I have talked to my cousin since this incident and have asked him to turn himself in. He is only considered a person of interest at this point. A 60 year old lady watching her t.v. looks a lot different from a rival. I don't trust some of the deputies at this station and I've been threatend to have items planted on me, but in my day we would never target ones family!!!!!
This guy is guilty as shiat, and don't give me that crap about a planted gun. If your stupid enough to go through life with a frickin tattoo on your head that says "dead end" then maybe you belong in jail...and just a message to the rest of you gang losers...this is what becomes of your life somewhere down the line...a wasted life sitting in prison, while your son grows up with no father...maybe in this case better off for the kid. What a waste of human life...do us a favor "droopy" hang yourself in prison!
