Alleged South Bay Gang Members Charged With Killing Spree

POSTED: 2:44 pm PDT May 11, 2005

SAN JOSE -- Three purported members of a South Bay street gang have been indicted by a Santa Clara County criminal grand jury on three alleged homicide counts and 13 counts of attempted murder, according to Deputy District Attorney Lance Daugherty.

Somanang Kim, 20, along with 19-year-old Savin Sam and 21-year-old Bunnrith Pech have all been charged in a series of shootings that occurred in San Jose during a time of surging gang violence.

The grand jury determined the crimes were committed for the benefit of a Cambodian street gang called "Cambodians with Attitude," Daugherty said.

The first murder occurred on Oct. 26, 2003 as 22-year-old Lorena Carrasco was standing outside of her Woodridge Way home with her sister and two male friends.

Three armed men, later identified as the suspects charged in the case, allegedly approached and opened fire.

Carrasco was shot and killed while the three others with her were also wounded. One of the men, Francisco Guadarrama, was paralyzed from the waist down.

None of the four victims had any association to a street gang, according to Daugherty.

Our country let all these third wolders in right after the Viet Nam war..I remember when San Jose was a peacful place but that was 50 years ago.
Thanks to political correctness our country is being taken away from us by these scum bags.
The European culture along with it's law and order is NO more...Places like San Jose, L.A. and New York City are turning into bananna republics. Low life politicians like the Clinton's and Kennedy's aid and abet multi culturism with one catch involved....Minorities first!

Nov "Adam" Chhoeun, 24, was fatally shot by two men wearing dark clothing and bandanas in the 700 block of Banff Street. Chhoeun had recently switched gangs....

Fatal career move.

New York has ALWAYS been culturally diverse. It never was a "white as wonderbread" place. Besides, many of those Euro-PEONS you love were nothing to write home about anyhow. Ever hear of La Cosa Nostra.

Of course to you, any immigrant would be OK, as long as they are white. Nevermind the fact that many of the Euros that I have met are left wing, multiculturalist socialists themselves.

I know what you mean. Though I don't go back 50 years can remember what San Jose was like several decades ago.

But I suppose we'd be better off if we just put on our blinders & sang the praises of our new wonderfully diverse society, like the SJ Mercury would have us do.
