Simply substitute the word "Asian gang" for the word "fraternity" and now the article makes sense and in fact probably wouldn't merit printing beyond a single report of the death of a gang member.

As an example, a substantial portion (4) of the gun related homocides in Fresno the past 90 days has been Asian gang activity that stems from the San Jose area.
