Gang expert: East Side shooting an unusual incident

Gang expert: East Side shooting an unusual incident: "Antonio Perez, 19, was shot dead April 28 on the city’s East Side after admitting he was a member of the Clanton 14 street gang, or C 14, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday in the case.
The precise gang affiliation of the alleged gunman, Ivan Mateo-Lozenzo, 21, was unclear Wednesday.
Lester Moore, a Madison Police Department gang specialist, said Mateo-Lozenzo was a “Sureño,” a Spanish word for southerner and referring to members of Latino gangs in and around Los Angeles. Mateo-Lozenzo identified locally as a member of the South Side Carnales, Moore said.
An amended Dane County criminal complaint filed Wednesday suggests those charged in connection with the murder may have been members of MS 13, or the notorious Mara Salvatrucha gang, while Texas authorities, who were searching for Mateo-Lozenzo in recent days, pegged him as a member of a Sur 13 street gang.
Mateo-Lozenzo — also known as Arain Gutierrez and Alberto Ramirez — had the number 13 tattooed on his hand, according to Sgt. Kris Boneau, of the Port Arthur Police Department, which was searching for him Tuesday and Wednesday."
