The deaths included last year’s slaying of an innocent Sacramento State student killed by a stray bullet on a night out with her girlfriends at what they thought was a safe Folsom Boulevard nightclub almost next door to campus. This year police say the same gang dynamic resulted in a shooting at a Meadowview house party that killed a Sacramento High School football player with past gang affiliations. The third case linked to the same factional rivalry was the 2006 broad-daylight murder on a spring Sunday afternoon of a teenager outside Downtown Plaza. According to police testimony and other court records the dispute has pitted elements of a local street gang called the G-Mobb that has ties to an akland organization against an ak Park gang known as the Fourth Avenue Bloods. In testimony at a recent preliminary hearing into one of the killings Sacramento police Detective Scott Maclafferty said the violence tracks back to the establishment of the G-Mobb in the Franklin Villa housing complex about 10 years ago.
