Dwayne Rice, a member of the Pasadena Denver Lanes Blood street gang and Charles Wetstone, his little homie, must stand trial for the killing of David Crosby, a Squiggly Lanes gangster, a judge ruled Monday.

Judge Lisa Lench, a former federal prosecutor who took down several members of La Eme in a federal trial in the 1990s, ruled there was enough evidence to send Rice and Whetstone to trial for the May execution slaying of Crosby at the Atlantis Restaurant on Sierra Madre Boulevard.

Here's the story from reporter Nate McIntire.
