Sweep targets Pico Rivera gang | Street Gangs Resource Center – Los Angeles and California | The Gang Experts | Crips | Bloods | Mara Salvatrucha | 18th Street: "PICO RIVERA – Deputies arrested a parolee, a 17-year-old boy and seized a handgun, a shotgun and methamphetamine during an early morning sweep targeting a local gang.
They served a search warrant at one home then went to four other residences to check if members of Rivera 13 were complying with the conditions of their parole and probation.
Deputies said the gang’s activities increased recently. One member, Rudy Ruiz of Whittier, was tied last year to the June 27 shooting outside Falcone’s Pizza that left three men dead and seven people wounded.
Ruiz and Canta Ranas gang member John Perez of Pico Rivera have been charged with the killings. Detectives haven’t revealed the motive for the fatal shootings, which happened during a fundraiser by a local motorcycle group. Detectives said the men killed and the motorcycle group don’t have gang ties.
Since those murders, the gang has been involved in several killings, shootings and drug trafficking, according to sheriff’s Sgt. Mark Bailey of Operation Safe Streets, the department’s gang unit."
