Gang Members Sentenced

An LA judge gave the deaf 22-year-old son of a gang leader a decade in prison yesterday. Louie "Lil Chico" Rios is the son of Santiago "Chico" Rios. The elder Rios was sentenced to 19 years and seven months behind bars. Prosecutors say their gang committed hate crimes against black people in the Los Angeles suburb of Azusa. Both men have tattoos above their upper lips that say "Azusa". More than 50 members of the gang were arrested in 2011 and all have been convicted. The gang assaulted blacks in an attempt to drive them out of Azusa.
