A court hearing provided new details of the killing of Nancy Hammour, a 28-year-old woman whose body was found under a bridge in Newport Beach. The prosecutor said Irvin Tellez killed Hammour as the two rode in a car because she started screaming after seeing him shoot a woman in the face.

Tellez could face life in prison without possibility of parole if he’s convicted and a jury finds the murder was committed for the benefit of a gang.

Deputy District Attorney Jim Mendelson said the violence started shortly after midnight Sept. 2, 2013, when Jaime Rocha pulled to the curb to hit on a woman he didn’t know, who is called “Elizabeth G.” in court papers. Tellez was in the front passenger seat, and Hammour was in the backseat, the prosecutor said.

They were on Cedar Street in Santa Ana – an area claimed by the Delhi gang, of which police say Rocha and Tellez are both members.

Elizabeth G. mentioned that she used to live in the neighborhood claimed by another gang, Alley Boys, Mendelson said.

“She uttered the name of a rival gang, and that’s all it took,” Mendelson said.

He said Tellez shot the woman in the face with a 9 mm handgun and Rocha drove away.

Rocha later told police the woman had “disrespected” the Delhi gang, according to a court filing.

Hammour, who was in the backseat, was “freaking out” as they drove, and within blocks, Tellez turned around and shot her in the face, Mendelson said. Hammour fell to the floorboard and lay gurgling, according to police and prosecutors. After telling her to shut up, Tellez said, “Just die, Nancy, just die” and fired again, killing her, Mendelson said Friday.

The men considered burning Hammour’s body, but instead left it near the Newport

Could not find the name of the leader.

A page from dept of corrections 2011 says there was no 1 leader at that time.

We need to start going ISIS on these gangs.

[Pelham]

Yeah, but it’s more likely that they will go ISIS on us.

And with the Treason Lobby being in power in both parties there will be millions more flooding in after the amnesty goes into effect this fall.

I can’t find a current leader mentioned anywhere either. The wikipedia article speculates that the Mexican Mafia is not reporting to a single leader these days. It could be that or the MM has figured out how to keep the top dog hidden from view.
