Oakland Hells Angels Mother and 6 year old twins murdered Oregon Jury Convicts Man in 4 Killings Linked to Hell's Angels
A man who prosecutors say was under orders from a top Hell's Angels leader was convicted today of murdering a woman, her twin 6-year-old girls and a family friend 17 years ago. The defendant, Robert G. McClure, 47, was sentenced immediately after the verdict to four consecutive life terms in prison. Mr. McClure had claimed that he had been framed by the bikers club. He sat impassively as the verdicts and sentences were read. His lawyer, Lisa Maxfield of Portland, said he would appeal.
The jury in Washington County Circuit Court deliberated more than six hours over two days before returning the unanimous verdicts. Judge Jon B. Lund called the trial one of the "most egregious" murder cases he had ever heard. He told Mr. McClure that he had killed "four innocent people in a heartless and coldblooded fashion."
Execution-Style Killings
On Aug. 7, 1977, Margo Compton, 24, was found dead in her home in the rural town of Gaston, along with her daughters, Sylvia and Sandra, and Gary Seslar, 19, the son of her boyfriend. Each had been shot in the head. Ms. Compton's sister, Lynne Spieckerman of Gonzales, Tex., burst into tears when the verdict was announced. She and Bonnie Sleeper, who was Mr. Seslar's fiancee and who discovered the bodies, both hugged the prosecutors, Robert Hamilton and Robert Heard.
The prosecutors contended that Mr. McClure had been under orders from Odis Garrett to kill Ms. Compton in retaliation for her testimony against several Hell's Angels in a San Francisco prostitution trial. Both Mr. McClure and Mr. Garrett, a leader of the Oakland, Calif., chapter of the Hell's Angels, were later imprisoned on drug charges.
Facing Extradition Mr. Garrett, who was also charged in the killings, is serving time in a California prison on a drug conviction but still faces extradition to Oregon. He was convicted in the San Francisco prostitution case after Ms. Compton testified against him.
Several prison inmates testified that the two had talked about their roles in the killings. The inmates said they had agreed to testify for the state because killing children violated their code of conduct. One prisoner testified that Mr. McClure had bragged about making Ms. Compton watch as he shot her daughters first and had claimed that they had died clutching their teddy bears.
'Infamous Case' More than 75 witnesses testified, including members of the Hell's Angels and the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang. Many were brought into the courtroom in leg irons, handcuffs and waist chains.
Lou Barbaria, a senior investigator with the New York State Police, has been following the trial from across the country. "It's an infamous case in the law-enforcement circuit," Mr. Barbaria said. He cited a Federal court case in New York in which the Hell's Angels involvement in the death of Ms. Compton had been admitted as proof of the club's viciousness toward those who testified against them. Rolling 60s Crips Home invasion mass murders The gang became notorious when several men identified as members of the Rollin' 60 were arrested by police investigating the murders of the family of Kermit Alexander, an All-American football icon.
On August 31, 1984, Alexander’s mother, sister and two nephews, ages 8 and 13, were murdered in South Central Los Angeles during a home invasion by members of the Rollin 60’s Neighborhood Crips, whose intended victims lived two doors away
Bounty Hunter Bloods two officers executed In 1993, two Compton Police Officers, James Wayne MacDonald and Kevin Michael Burrell, were killed execution style by a Bounty Hunter Blood Gang member. February 22nd 1993 was a day no Compton cop would ever forget. It was nighttime as veteran officer K. Burrell and reserve officer Jimmy MacDonald rode together. Burrell was a 6ft 5inch 300-pound giant of a black man. He was an aggressive officer who loved to make the good felony arrest. Jimmy was a white officer, and was his last night riding in Compton because he just got hired fulltime as a police officer in northern California. This night would be their last night alive, as they were about to pull over one of the most ruthless “Bounty Hunter” Blood gang members around. His name was Regis Thomas. Within the last year, he was released from jail on a murder charge, due to fact the only eye witness to the case turned up murdered. Thomas grew up in Nickerson Gardens on Imperial Highway in L.A. In our opinion this large housing project, along with Imperial Courts and Jordan Downs are the worst places in L.A. You just don’t go into these projects at night, unless you have at the minimum four cops.
Officers again heard that one radio call, you never want to hear, as Compton dispatchers put out the radio call “shots fired at Rosecrans and Dwight Street, officers down”. When officers arrived, they found the police car facing west on Rosecrans Blvd. with its overhead lights going. In front of he car was Officer MacDonald laying in the street, shot numerous times, the worst was one shot to the back of the head at close range. Burrell was lying down by the curb also suffering from numerous gunshots. Burrell also shot in the head at close range and both were dead.
Our Police Department was in shambles. Kevin and Jimmy had been the first officers’ shot and killed in Compton. In addition, our personnel were paralyzed with grief, and unable to get a grip on the investigation. Chief Taylor made one of the best decisions of his career, he asked the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for assistance. We had already lost two days of the investigation since the Department had been bombarded, and over whelmed with clues relating to the shooting. The Sheriff’s Department had the resources, but we had the gang intelligence, so a Task Force was formed. We were part of this Task Force and were proud to be a part of the arrest and conviction of Regis Thomas who is currently on death row.
Shower Posse festival mass shooting Oakland, New Jersey, in August, 1985, members of the Shower posse sprayed machine-gun fire on a festival crowd in Oakland, N.J. Three people were killed and more than 20 were wounded. Police say the purpose of the attack was to eliminate drug dealers in the rival Dog posse. This incident resulted in the death of three persons, the wounding of 19 others and the seizure by police of 33 weapons.
Gambino Crime Family Shamrock Bar murders Following a five-week trial, a federal jury in Brooklyn today found Bartolomeo Vernace, a member of the administration of the Gambino organized crime family of La Cosa Nostra (the “Gambino family”), guilty of a racketeering conspiracy spanning 1978 through 2011. Among the crimes he committed for the mafia, Vernace, together with two Gambino associates, murdered Richard Godkin and John D’Agnese in the Shamrock Bar in the Woodhaven neighborhood of Queens on April 11, 1981, after a dispute arose between a Gambino family associate and others in the bar over a spilled drink. The associate left the bar and picked up Vernace and a third accomplice at a nearby social club. A short time later, the three men entered the bar and gunned down Godkin and D’Agnese—the owners of the bar—as the bar’s patrons fled for cover.
Youngstown Mob Marsh family murders/drug robbery murders A former reputed Youngstown mobster in prison for a double murder in the Columbus area was indicted Thursday in a 39-year-old mass murder in Canfield Township, in which a General Motors security guard, his wife and their 4-year-old daughter were brutally murdered.
Investigators allege James P. Ferrara, 64, a former Youngstown mobster, fatally shot Ben Marsh, shot Marilyn Marsh from behind and beat her and beat Heather Marsh to death with his empty gun. Investigators found 1-year-old Christopher Marsh covered in blood and crawling on the family’s floor.
a GM supervisor found Ben Marsh, his wife Marilyn and 4-year-old Heather brutally murdered on Dec. 13, 1974 at their S. Turner Road home. Their 1-year-old son, Christopher, was found alive and covered in blood. Both Ferrara and Marsh worked at GM, according to sources. Ben Marsh was shot four times, Marilyn was beaten and shot once from behind and Heather was found beaten to death with a blunt instrument he also commited two murders nine years later.
Records say Ferrara and two other men— Joseph A. Weeks, then 36, and Mark Jennings, then 26— at about 11:30 a.m. on March 6, 1983 went to 441A E. North Street, Worthington, about 12 miles north of Columbus. Records show the trio went to the home to steal a large amount of cocaine from two men, Fred Lemmens and Ed Hanna, who were inside the condo and partners in a cocaine-dealing scheme. Lemmens, Oppenheimer said, was a school teacher in the Ghanna area at the time and was inside at the time. Oppenheimer said Jennings and Hanna were cousins, and that they conspired to steal from Lemmens.
A witness at the time told police the trio knocked on the door and said “collecting” and “1136.” One man held a gun in his hand, reports say. Hanna opened the door. The look on his face, according to the witness, was of “utter horror.”
The witness said the door closed, but later heard three or four gunshots. She saw the three men get into a 1978 silver Monte Carlo and drive away. She said a man, who later turned out to be Ferrara, exited the home carrying a briefcase. Lemmens noticed a wink between Jennings and Hanna and began screaming he was being set up.
Oppenheimer said Ferrara snapped and pistol-whipped Lemmens. He then shot Lemmens and Hanna to avoid witnesses to Lemmens’ murder, Oppenheimer said.Officers found Hanna and Lemmens dead face down in the apartment’s kitchen. Hanna’s head was on a step and had been shot in the back of the head, reports say. Lemmens was face down with a phone cord wrapped around his hands. Investigators at the time noted he had been beaten in the head with a blunt object and shot.
Officers spotted the Monte Carlo Ferrara, then 34, was riding in on Interstate 71, while Ferrara watched the officers from the backseat, reports said. The car pulled into a truck stop in Mansfield.The trio was arrested. Officers found a Smith and Wesson .38-caliber gun wedged between Jennings’ seat and the door.
Ferrara, officers noted, had blood covering his arms and hands and was sitting on a brown coat. Under the arm of the coat, investigators found a bloody .38-caliber Colt Cobra revolver. Six rounds of ammunition were found in a stocking cap nearby, reports say. They also he had a large pocketknife. WKBN and WYTV archives say the Ben and Marilyn Marsh were killed with a .38-caliber revolver.

The Saint Valentine's Day Massacre.
From now on, nothing goes down unless I'm involved. No blackjack no dope deals, no nothing. A nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. You guys got fat while everybody starved on the street. Now it's my turn.

Griselda Blanco dadeland mall killings
The beginning of the miami cocaine wars. The notorious shooting spree occurred on July 11, 1979, and branded Miami one of the most violent cities in the United States.
It happened when two men in a white Mercedes-Benz and two other men in a white Ford van pulled up to the Crown Liquor store at the Dadeland Mall in Miami. Police have theorized that the two men in the van with the ``Happy Time Party Supply`` logo were enforcers for Griselda Blanco, boss of a Medellin drug cartel.
After a bloody shootout that left mall shoppers terrified, the two men from the Mercedes lay dead in the liquor store; the liquor-store clerk lay wounded outside.
``These guys are as ruthless as anybody would ever run across,`` Singleton said of three suspects -- Guillermo Velasquez, Jorge Ayala and Alonso Ayala. ``These guys are the epitome of the cocaine cowboys back in the late `70s and early `80s.``
Police think the three men were paid enforcers for Blanco, also known as La Madrina, or The Godmother. Blanco, who is now in a federal prison, headed one of Colombia`s most powerful drug families.
Russian Mob,California Kidnapping, murders of 5 russian emigres.
Jurijus Kadamovas (1966-) and Iouri Mikhel (1965-) are two Russian immigrants to the United States currently on Federal death row for 5 kidnapping for ransom related murders. The kidnappings occurred over a four-month period beginning in late 2001, in which the kidnappers demanded ransom. Documents related to the case allege the crew demanded a total of more than $5.5 million from relatives and associates, and received more than $1 million from victim's relatives.
Prosecutors said the victims were killed regardless of whether the ransoms were paid. The bodies were tied with weights, and dumped in a reservoir near Yosemite National Park. Federal prosecutors sought the death penalty under murder during a hostage-taking, (18 U.S.C. 1203), a federal crime.
On March 12, 2007 Kadamovas and Mikhel were sentenced to death.
LOS ANGELES — The discovery was chilling: five bodies dumped in a scenic reservoir in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
Four of the corpses, held down with gym weights, were so deeply submerged that police divers had to use a robotic vehicle to recover them. The other body had floated to the surface earlier when its weights slipped off.
Ainar Altmanis, the man who led investigators to the submerged bodies, was sentenced Wednesday to 23 years and 4 months in federal prison.
His sentencing marks the end of a six-year probe into the killings of four wealthy Russian immigrants and a U.S. businessman in late 2001 and early 2002. All were kidnapped for ransom and killed, investigators said.
Altmanis is the sixth person sentenced in the case; two received the death penalty.
The 48-year-old Latvian citizen pleaded guilty to three counts of hostage-taking resulting in death and one conspiracy charge.
"I got totally confused in this life," he said in Russian through a court translator while looking at family members of the victims. "The life of the person I have become, I do not want it. Please forgive me."
Altmanis, who illegally immigrated to the U.S. in 1991, wept and apologized repeatedly at the sentencing.
"This man should suffer more than my son," said Ruven Umansky, the father of victim Alexander Umansky. "He should stay in prison the rest of his life."
In addition to Umansky, the victims were real estate developer Meyer Muscatel; Russian banking mogul George Safiev; Safiev's accountant Rita Pekler; and Safiev's business partner Nick Kharabadze.
All were killed even though their families and friends gave the kidnappers a total of $1.2 million. Prosecutors said the kidnappers used much of the money to buy new vehicles and mink coats for their girlfriends.

Wonderland Murders
The Wonderland murders, also known as the Four on the Floor Murders or the Laurel Canyon Murders, are four unsolved killings that occurred in Los Angeles on July 1, 1981. Five of the six targeted to be killed in the known drug house on Wonderland Avenue were present, and four of the five died from extensive injuries: Joy Miller, Billy DeVerell, Ron Launius, and Barbara Richardson. Launius' wife, Susan Launius, survived the attack. The attack was allegedly masterminded by organized crime figure and nightclub owner Eddie Nash. Porn star John Holmes was arrested, tried, and acquitted for his involvement in the murders.
The Wonderland Gang was centered around the occupants of a rented townhouse at 8763 Wonderland Avenue in the Laurel Canyon section of Los Angeles: Joy Audrey Gold Miller (whose name was on the lease[citation needed]), her live-in boyfriend William Raymond "Billy" DeVerell, David Lind, and the gang's leader, Ronnie Lee "Ron" Launius. All four were involved in drug use and drug dealing. On June 28, 1981, the group met with friends Tracy McCourt and John Holmes, a porn star and known drug addict. They had decided to rob the home of Eddie Nash, né Adel Gharib Nasrallah, wealthy owner of several Los Angeles-area night clubs and drug dealer. Holmes, whom Nash had befriended, visited the house, ostensibly to buy drugs. While at Nash's home, Holmes unlocked a back door for the gang to enter later. Holmes then went back to Wonderland in order to report back to Launius and the others. The next morning, June 29, DeVerell, Launius, Lind, and McCourt went to Nash's house. While McCourt stayed with the car, a stolen Ford Granada, the other three entered through the unlocked door. Invading the home, the trio handcuffed Nash and his live-in bodyguard, Gregory Diles. During the course of the subsequent robbery, the group took money, drugs, and jewelry; threatened to kill Nash and Diles; and accidentally grazed Diles with a bullet. They then went back to the Wonderland Avenue townhouse to split up the money. Nash suspected Holmes had been involved and ordered Diles to bring Holmes to his house. Diles found Holmes on a street in Hollywood wearing one of the rings that had been stolen from Nash and brought him back to Nash. Nash directed Diles to beat Holmes, and Nash threatened to kill Holmes and his family, until Holmes identified the people behind the robbery. The beating was witnessed by a former boyfriend of Liberace's, Scott Thorson, who was buying drugs at Nash's home. In the early morning of July 1, 1981, two days after the robbery, an unknown number of assailants entered the Wonderland Avenue townhouse. DeVerell and Launius were present, along with Launius' wife Susan, DeVerell's girlfriend Joy Miller, and Lind's girlfriend, Barbara Richardson. Each occupant present was bludgeoned repeatedly with what was later determined by the medical examiner and detectives to be a striated steel pipe. Susan Launius was the only one in the home who survived, albeit with serious injuries. A left palm print belonging to John Holmes found on the bed railing above Ron Launius' head gave homicide detectives reason to believe John Holmes was present at the site of the murder. Holmes denied participation in the killings or being there when the murders happened. Later, however, he admitted to his ex-wife Sharon Holmes and girlfriend Dawn Schiller that he was forced to watch the killings, but he denied participating in them. According to court testimony, David Lind survived because he was not at the house at the time of the murders, having spent the night at a San Fernando Valley motel with a prostitute and consuming drugs there. Shortly after the news media reported the murders, Lind contacted the police and informed on Nash and Holmes, thus giving them a start to their investigation

All those child murders in Italy are really infamous. I remember most of all 3 of them:
1) Marcella Tassone (11 years old, sister of a 'ndranghetista), shot several times in the face, so the killers saw perfectly they were shooting a child.
2) Giuseppe Di Matteo, son of an informant, kidnapped by the mafia at the age of 12, held for 2 years, then strangled and dissolved in acid in 1996.
3) Giuseppe Letizia (13 years old, witness of a mafia murder), poisoned in the Corleone hospital by the mafioso doctor Michele Navarra in 1948.
Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:
1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down."
2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."

Colombo Crime Family Neopolitan Noodle shooting
"The Godfather"was still playing in New York theaters five months after its release and audiences were still greeting that line with nervous laughter when, on Friday, Aug. 11, 1972, a hit man from Las Vegas walked into the Neopolitan Noodle, an Italian restaurant on Manhattan's East 79th Street, at the height of the dinner hour rush.
Mistaking four businessmen at the crowded bar for his actual targets, Colombo family acting boss "Little Allie" Persico and three mob lieutenants, the hit man opened fire with two long-barreled pistols, killing two of the businessmen — kosher beef wholesalers from Westchester County and Long Island — and wounding their companions.
The men were old friends meeting to celebrate a daughter's wedding engagement. They arrived at the Noodle as the Persico party was being seated for dinner. While the four wiseguys were out of harm's way at a table in the dining room, the hit man shot the four innocents who had taken their places at the bar. The businessmen were casualties of a Colombo family civil war that had ignited four months earlier in spectacular fashion when "Crazy Joe" Gallo was gunned down at Umberto's Clam House in Little Italy.
The shooting at the Neopolitan Noodle, by contrast, is hardly embedded in the public mind. The 40th anniversary on Saturday of the dimly remembered killings will pass with little fanfare or commemoration. And the names of the real-life innocent bystanders felled by a mob gunman — Sheldon Epstein, 40, of New Rochelle and Max Tekelch, 48, of Woodmere — will probably remain as they have been all these years, largely forgotten.
Outlaw Motorcycle Gang, Florida Rape, murder and mutilation
Outlaw member Joseph Spaziano In January 1976, he was convicted of killing Laura Harberts, 18, and dumping her mutilated body along a roadside. His trial had extensive news coverage, spreading the biker lore.
In August 1975, an earlier jury convicted Spaziano of raping a 16-year-old girl, slashing her neck and eyes, choking her and dumping her, unconscious, in woods.
Was part of a series of vicious sexual assaults by members of biker gangs in florida:
In January 1970, a girl who rode with the Outlaws was chained to a warehouse ceiling in the Lake County city of Oakland Park. Bikers stripped, beat and sexually abused her as punishment for trying to flee the gang. Bikers threatened to kill her or nail her to a tree.
Two years earlier, Outlaws members did nail a teen-ager to a scrub oak, in Palm Beach County. She was dating a biker, and when she did not give him $10 as ordered one day, gang members nailed her hands to a branch. Her toes barely touched the ground, and she told investigators the bikers threatened to beat her if she cried. Investigators learned of the incident when bikers stole drugs from the hospital where the girl was being treated.
A biker and two friends burst into the Orlando hotel room of a 20-year-old woman in February 1974 and forced her to another room, where they beat, kicked and raped her. They gave the same treatment to a 16-year-old they lured into the room with the promise of a party. The two women were held overnight and threatened with death if they reported the crimes.
Four Outlaws were arrested in Fort Lauderdale in 1974 on charges they tied a 21-year-old woman to a chair, kicked her, beat her and burned her with hot spoons. They said she stole a decal from a biker's motorcycle.
In 1978, three Outlaws were convicted of killing a nightclub singer in Orange County. They beat her, then stabbed her 13 times and slit her throat on orders of a club enforcer.
Preachers Crew, Harlem Donnell Porter Kidnapping and murder
In 1987 Clarence Preacher Heatly orders the kidnapping of 12 year old donnell porter, the brother of rival drug dealer rich porter. He demands $350,000 for the boys safe return, for added effect he cuts off one of the boys fingers and sends it to his family. Before rich could pay the ransom he is killed by friend and fellow dealer alpo martinez. The boy is then killed and dumped on the street.
"The body of a kidnapped 12-year-old boy whose finger was cut off and sent to his family in December to pressure them into sending ransom money was found Sunday afternoon wrapped in plastic bags off the Hutchinson River Parkway in the Bronx, the police said yesterday.
The body of William Porter of 155 West 132d Street in Manhattan was found on a bicycle path near the parkway's City Island exit by a homeless man looking for cans, Lieut. Raymond O'Donnell, a police spokesman, said. It was less than a mile from where the body of his older brother, Richard, who the police said was a crack dealer the kidnappers wanted to pay the ransom, was found shot to death on Jan. 4."

Luchesse Crime Family James Burke's Luthansa Heist Fallout All those involved with the robbery who knew where the stolen money went are believed to have taken that knowledge to the grave, because they’ve either been found brutally murdered or been reported missing.
Parnell “Stacks” Edwards, who was supposed to get rid of the van but instead went to his girlfriend’s house, was the first to turn up dead. Edward Eaton, who was depicted in the movie Goodfellas as dying in a refrigerator truck, was actually discovered in Brooklyn.
His body had been lying in the truck for several days. Because it was so cold, it took days to defrost.
Frank Vincent, aka Billy Batts, was murdered twice. He was shot in a bar and put in the trunk of a car. When his killers got upstate, they saw he was still alive, so they killed him again.
Tommy DeSimone was cut in half with a chainsaw and dumped into the Atlantic Ocean. After buying an expensive car with proceeds from the heist, Louis Cafora and his wife, Joanna, were never seen again. Teresa Ferrara, the alleged mistress of Tommy Desimone, was last seen hurrying from her beauty shop in Bellmore. Later she was found murdered, her body dismembered.
In total, at least 16 members of the original crew who both planned and executed the theft were reported missing or turned up dead.
Westside Crips Stanley Tookie Williams
In 1979 Williams was convicted of murder in two separate incidents. Williams always maintained his innocence, though subsequent court reviews concluded that there was no compelling reason to grant a retrial. Court transcripts state that Williams met with a man who is only identified in court documents as "Darryl" late on Tuesday evening, February 28, 1979.[3] Williams introduced Darryl to a friend of his, Alfred Coward, a.k.a. "Blackie," a reference to his dark colored skin and Bernard Trudeau a.k.a. "Whitie," his Caucasian friend. A short time after the initial meeting, Darryl, driving a brown station wagon and accompanied by Williams, drove to the home of James Garret. Williams frequently stayed with Garret, and kept some of his personal effects at that location, including a 12-gauge shotgun. Williams went into the Garret residence and returned in about ten minutes with the shotgun. The three men then went to the home of Tony Sims in Pomona, California, where they discussed where they could go to make some money. Afterward, they went to another residence, where Williams left the others for a period of time. Upon returning, Williams produced a .22 caliber pistol, which he placed in the station wagon. Darryl and Williams got into the station wagon, Coward and Sims got into another vehicle, and shortly thereafter they were on the freeway.
Botched robbery
Both vehicles exited the freeway in the vicinity of Whittier Boulevard, where they drove to a nearby Stop-N-Go market. Darryl and Sims, at the request of Williams, entered the store with the apparent intention of robbing it. Darryl was carrying the .22 pistol that Williams had deposited in the station wagon earlier. Darryl also had a WASR-10 rifle in the trunk of the car, along with two semi-automatic handguns. The clerk at the Stop-N-Go market, Johnny Garcia, had just finished mopping the floor when he observed a station wagon and four black men at the door to the market. Two of the men entered the market. One of the men went down an aisle while the other approached Garcia. The man that approached Garcia asked for a cigarette. Garcia gave the man a cigarette and lit it for him. After approximately three to four minutes, both men left the market without carrying out the planned robbery.
The 7-Eleven murder
Transcripts show that next Coward and Sims followed Williams and Darryl to the 7-Eleven market located at 10437 Whittier Boulevard, in Whittier, California. The store clerk, 26-year-old Albert Lewis Owens, was sweeping the store's parking lot at 7:42 p.m. When Darryl and Sims entered the 7-Eleven, Owens put the broom and dustpan he was using on the hood of his car and followed them into the store. Williams and Coward then followed Owens into the store. Court records show that as Darryl and Sims walked to the counter area to take money from the register, Williams walked behind Owens, pulled the shotgun from under his jacket and told Owens to "shut up and keep walking." While pointing the shotgun at Owens’ back, Williams directed him to a back storage room and ordered him to lie down. Coward said that he next heard the sound of a round being chambered into the shotgun. He then heard a shot and glass breaking, followed by two more shots. Records show that he shot at a security monitor and then killed Owens, shooting him twice in the back at point blank range as he lay prone on the storage room floor.
The Brookhaven Motel murders
Yen-Yi Yang, 76, and his wife, Tsai-Shai C. Yang, 63, were immigrants from Taiwan. They ran the Brookhaven Motel located at 10411 South Vermont Avenue in South Central Los Angeles with their daughter, Yu-Chin Yang Lin, 43, and son Robert. Yu-Chin had recently joined them from Taiwan. According to court transcripts, at approximately 5:00 a.m. on March 11, 1979, Stanley Williams entered the Brookhaven Motel lobby and then broke down the door that led to the private office. Inside the office, Williams shot and killed Yen-Yi, Tsai-Shai, and Yu-Chin, after which he emptied the cash register and fled the scene. Robert, asleep with his wife in their bedroom at the motel, was awakened by the sound of somebody breaking down the door to the motel’s office. Shortly thereafter he heard a female scream, followed by gunshots. Robert entered the motel office and found that his mother, his sister, and his father had all been shot; the cash register was empty. The forensic pathologist testified that Yen-Yi Yang suffered two close range shotgun wounds, one to his left arm and abdomen, and one to the lower left chest. Tsai-Shai also received two close range wounds, one to the tailbone, and the other to the front of the abdomen, entering at the navel. Yu-Chin Yang Lin was shot once in the upper left face area at a distance of a few feet. Witnesses testified that Williams referred to the victims in conversations with friends as "Buddha-heads".
Volksfront Skinheads,Tacoma Wash Beating, Curbstomping, murder of homeless man
The hunt began with a trip to a couple of local businesses. They needed more beer, of course, an armload of 22-ounce tallboys and an 18-pack of Budweiser. That would be the fuel. But they didn't forget to buy the baseball bats.
The foursome headed out as the cool of the evening set in. Sucking down beer and carrying their two new bats, they made their way to an area they knew well, a secret world of street people who congregated under a highway bridge in Tacoma, Wash.
They knew what they were looking for, as several of them told police later — a drug dealer, preferably a black one. But the first black man they saw, walking by with a white woman, drew a machete when the menacing group of racist Skinheads approached. The brave young warriors dropped that plan fast.
Then they spotted Randy Townsend.
David Nikos Pillatos, 19, dealt the first blow, smashing the homeless white man with one of the bats as Scotty James Butters, 20, began to punch him. With Pillatos' second swing, the bat splintered across Townsend's face. Then Tristain Lynn Frye, 22 and the only female present, began to kick the fallen man. Pillatos found a 40-pound rock and dropped it on Townsend's head.
It was then, according to statements later given by the three to police, that Kurtis William Monschke, 19, joined in. Noticing that Townsend was breathing, Monschke laid into his victim with the second bat before lifting and smashing his head onto a railroad track. Butters and Pillatos carried Townsend to the train tracks and placed him on his stomach with his head lying face down on the track.   Butters then stomped on the back of Townsend's head.
Randall Mark Townsend, a gentle, 42-year-old man afflicted with paranoid schizophrenia, never opened his eyes again. He lingered in a coma for 20 days after the March 23, 2003, attack, but in the end his battered body succumbed.
The ringleader, prosecutors said, was Monschke. He had recently been named head of the Washington chapter of Volksfront, a Portland-based neo-Nazi group whose Web site describes drug dealers as "the lowest form of vermin." The same site ran a 2002 essay calling for capital punishment for dealers.
Prosecutors said the attack was meant to lift Monschke's status in the white supremacist movement and to earn Frye a pair of red shoelaces, with the red signifying the drawing of blood.

Black Disciples, chicago 1994 Robert Sandifer aged 11 shooting and murder
Robert "Yummy" Sandifer (March 12, 1983 — September 1, 1994) was an American gang member whose murder by fellow gang members in Chicago, Illinois garnered national attention. He appeared on the cover of TIME magazine in September 1994. Nicknamed Yummy because of his love of junk food, Sandifer was a young member of the street gang the Black Disciples. After committing murder, arson and armed robbery, he was executed by fellow gang members who feared he could become an informant. Coverage of Sandifer's death and retrospectives on his short, violent life were widely published in the American media. Sandifer became a symbol of the gang problem in American inner cities, the failure of social safety netting, and the shortcomings of the juvenile justice system.
On August 28, 1994, Sandifer began harassing locals from his neighborhood. He opened fire several times with a 9 millimeter semiautomatic pistol, striking several youths. Sandifer quickly fled the scene. Shavon Dean, age 14, later died from her gunshot wounds. The crime spree made national headlines. The nation was shocked by the brutality of the crime and the fact that the alleged perpetrator was only 11 years old. The Chicago Police began a manhunt for Sandifer. According to Sgt. Ronald Palmer, of the Chicago Police, Sandifer's actions were a gang initiation gone awry. On, Wednesday, August 31, while still in hiding, Sandifer was met by brothers Cragg and Derrick Hardaway, ages 16 and 14, members of the Black Disciples street gang. Sandifer was told he was being taken some place safe and ordered into a waiting car. Instead, he was brought to an viaduct underpass and told to get on his knees. While on his knees, he was shot twice in the back of his head by Cragg and Derrick Hardaway. Sandifer's body was discovered by the Chicago Police Department in the early morning of September 1. Both Cragg and Derrick Hardaway were later convicted of Sandifer's murder. Sandifer's funeral was held at the Youth Center Church of God in Christ in Chicago's Northwest Side.
Warlocks MC Robert "Mudman" Simon, 48
Girlfriend Simon had served 12/2 years of a 20-year sentence in the death of his girlfriend, Beth Smith Dusenberg, 19, a stenographer found in an abandoned Luzerne County strip mine in 1981 - seven years after disappearing. He had ordered her to have sex with other Warlocks, and when she refused, he shot her between the eyes.
Officer slaying Sergeant Gonzalez, 40, of Buena, N.J., was killed moments after pulling over Mr. Simon and Charles Staples, Mr. Simon's co-defendant and also a member of the Warlock motorcycle gang. Mr. Staples was convicted of felony murder and sentenced to life in prison.
The gang members had broken into a business just before Sergeant Gonzalez stopped them. Mr. Simon has said he shot Sergeant Gonzalez because he did not want to return to prison. The shooting occurred near the Franklin Township police station. Officers heard the shots, rushed to the scene and arrested Mr. Simon and Mr. Staples after a brief chase.
Killed on Death Row Simons was killed in a prison fight by another notorious murderer, officials said. Robert (Mudman) Simon, who had a reputation for taunting fellow inmates at New Jersey State Prison in Trenton, apparently singled out Ambrose (Squirt Boy) Harris as his next target. As Simon was let out of his cell so it could be fumigated, he tried to tackle Harris in a recreation cage, sources said. But Harris, a convicted murderer and rapist, sent Simon flying headfirst into a fixed metal table. Then he stomped the unconscious Simon to death, the sources said. Prison officials confirmed that Simon died during a "fatal altercation" with Harris but gave only sketchy details about his death. Nor did they explain why the burly biker attacked Harris. But Simon was known to bully other prisoners, including Megan Kanka's killer Jesse Timmendequas, the most detested man on Death Row. Steve Sand, one of the Gloucester County prosecutors who sent Simon to the slammer for gunning down Franklin Township Police Officer Ippolito Gonzalez in May 1995, said Simon got what he deserved. "We've just had our first execution of someone on Death Row, though not necessarily in the manner allowed under the law," said Sand. Gonzalez's brother, Louis, said he felt relieved. "I'd rather let the system work the way it should," he said. "But I always believed an eye for an eye. I hope he suffered just like my brother did.

Bonanno Crime Family Gus Farace Sexual assault,murder. Dea agent slaying Costabile "Gus" Farace, Jr. (June 21, 1960 Bushwick, Brooklyn - November 17, 1989 Bensonhurst, Brooklyn) was a low-level criminal with the Bonanno crime family who murdered a teenage male prostitute and a federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent in New York City.
On October 8, 1979, Farace murdered a 17 year-old boy and brutally beat his 16 year-old companion. Farace and some friends were on a street in the Greenwich Village section of Manhattan when the two boys allegedly propositioned them. Enraged, Farace and his friends forced the two teenagers into their car and drove them to the beach at Wolfe's Pond Park in New York. Once there, Farace forced one of the boys to commit an oral sex act on him. The men beat the boys using driftwood and other objects, then left them for dead. The 17-year-old, Steven Charles of Newark, New Jersey, died on the beach. The 16-year-old, Thomas Moore of Brooklyn, was critically injured, but dove into the pond and managed to elude his attackers. Moore then walked to a nearby residence for assistance. Later on October 8, the police arrested Farace, DeLicio, and Spoto. Four days later, Moore identified Farace and the other suspects from a police lineup.
On December 10, 1979, Farace pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter. The state had accepted his manslaughter plea rather than go through the uncertainty and expense of a capital murder trial. Farace was sentenced to 7 to 21 years in prison.
It was in prison that Farace first met Gerrard "Jerry" Chilli Sr. Chilli had unofficially "adopted" Farace who at that point was in his late twenties as a protegé and stayed in contact when they got out of prison. Farace used his contacts with old friends, and new ones he met in prison, to start a Marijuana selling business, which soon expanded into other drugs. In June 1985, Farace was released from prison. By June 3, 1988, Farace had become partners with his friend Gregory Scarpa Jr. who worked out of his criminal headquarters at Wimpy Boys Athletic Club. His father Gregory Scarpa, Sr. was a secret FBI informer. Farace married Antoinette Acierno, a sister of a criminal associate.
After being released on parole on June 3, 1988, Farace soon got into trouble again. He began selling small amounts of cocaine and marijuana. In late February 1989, Farace set up a cocaine deal with Everett Hatcher, an undercover federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) agent. At approximately 10:00 p.m. on the evening of February 28, 1989, Farace was to meet Hatcher at a remote overpass on the West Shore Expressway in the Rossville section of Staten Island to complete the deal. Hatcher had met Farace to discuss purchasing cocaine from him on several occasions.During the course of the drug transaction, Hatcher got separated from the surveillance team. When the team finally found Hatcher, he had been shot through the head three times in his unmarked Buick Regal. The window was rolled down and the Regal's engine was on, but Hatcher's foot was on the brake.
Police theorized that Farace shot Hatcher from a van as it passed Hatcher's car. The van was found abandoned three days later on a street about two miles northeast of the murder scene. This location was less than half a mile from the Arthur Kill Correctional Facility, where Farace had spent the last two years of his manslaughter sentence. It is not known why Farace killed Hatcher; it may have been because Hatcher was African-American and Farace was a racist. Another theory is that Farace had become suspicious of Hatcher from rumors he had heard.
A few months after the Hatcher murder, the manhunt for Farace would be over. At 11:08 p.m. on November 17, 1989, police dispatchers received a 9-1-1 emergency call about a car parked at 1814 81st Street in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn. The car contained one male occupant, with another male laying face down on the sidewalk, both of whom had just been shot (the call came in as "shots fired", no other specifics). Police rushed to the scene and found the two men, one dead and the other seriously wounded. The dead man was identified as Costabile Farace. He had gunshot wounds to the head, neck, back and leg. According to witnesses, a van had driven alongside Farace's car and shot the two men nine times. This was the same method that Farace had used to kill Agent Hatcher. The survivor in the car was identified as Joseph Sclafani, a member of Farace's organization. Sclafani said he fired two shots at the assailants.
In a different version of this story, per the responding officer, Farace was still breathing when police arrived. They placed him in a trauma suite, but he died en route to the hospital. Sclafani was outside of the vehicle, having been shot out of his shoes. Officers handcuffed him on the scene for weapons possession.
First and Kennedy Street Crew Bennie Lawson DC police headquarters shooting On November 22, 1994, a street thug named Bennie Lawson was concerned about his reputation among fellow gang members. He had been questioned by police about his role in a triple murder and the word on the street was that Lawson was cooperating. He had been labeled a "snitch," and to Lawson that was a fate worse than death. So, in an effort to clear his name, he walked into the "Cold Case Squad" office at D.C. Police Headquarters and opened fire without saying a word.
During the next terror-filled moments, more than 40 shots were exchanged between Lawson and the four officers in the room. Three of them were FBI agents. When it was over, four people were dead. They included D.C. Police Sergeant Hank Daly, and FBI Special Agents Martha Martinez and Mike Miller. Lawson had killed them all. After finishing what he had set out to do that day, Lawson then took Agent Martinez's gun, put it to his head and pulled the trigger.
Stapleton Crew Ronell Wilson Murder of two undercover detectives Ronell Wilson was convicted of the 2003 capital murder of two undercover NYC police officers in Staten Island, New York. His trial before Judge Nicholas Garaufis of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York began on November 27, 2006.
Two covert police detectives spent their final minutes touting their underworld credibility and evading their surveillance team in an effort to put the men they were investigating at ease, according to testimony and recordings delivered in court yesterday.
“What is the big deal?” one detective asked the two men in his car, according to a surveillance tape transcript provided by prosecutors. “I know. Everybody’s leery. Listen, I’m leery, I’m leery too. I, I understand. I don’t want to get caught up.”
Minutes later on the evening of March 10, 2003, the detective, James V. Nemorin, 36, and his partner, Rodney J. Andrews, 34, lay dead on a street in Staten Island.
Prosecutors have said the detectives intended to buy a Tec-9 pistol from one of Mr. Wilson’s associates, Omar Green, as part of an undercover investigation. But, they say, Mr. Wilson and some of the other men had set up a fake gun deal as part of a plan to rob the detectives.
The two detectives were shot and killed as they drove Mr. Wilson, who was then 20, and another man, Jesse Jacobus, then 17, to buy the gun, the authorities have said. Detective Nemorin was driving, Detective Andrews was in the front passenger seat and the two younger men were behind them, Mr. Wilson on the left and Mr. Jacobus on the right, the authorities have said.
