A bloody summer of gang warfare ahead? | StarTribune.com: "Martin's killing was the city's 20th so far this year -- a tally now higher than all of last year -- and it was particularly brazen: He was walking on a heavily used bike path on the lake's west side when he was ambushed. Investigators say they're worried that fellow gang members will avenge his death.
Police Inspector Michael Martin (no relation) of the North Side's Fourth Precinct said police knew the victim as a leader in the Taliban gang, which has been around since 2005. Officers had arrested him for possessing a gun.
The Taliban is one of the most active and violent gangs in Minneapolis, but it's not large, Martin said, adding that the Taliban has tried to gain respect from other gangs through violence."
