P. v. Besenty CA2/5
Carlos Quintanilla was a member of the 18th Street gang. His sister Yesenia Quintanilla claimed the Los Players clique, but she was not actually an 18th street gang member. Around 10:00 p.m. on November 25, 2010, Carlos’s girlfriend, Cindy Sanchez, drove the Quintanillas to the house of 18th Street gang member Ada Zeledon to confront Zeledon because she had accused Yesenia of prostitution and “jumped” the Quintanillas’ sister. Zeledon came outside and argued with Yesenia. Carlos tried to hit Zeledon with a bottle. Both Carlos and Yesenia challenged Zeledon to fight, but she refused. Zeledon called “Mala” and Francisco Lozano, who were also 18th Street gang members, for help. The Quintanillas left when Zeledon’s mother came outside.
Sanchez then drove the Quintanillas to another location within 18th Street gang territory to look for Lozano, who Carlos knew to be a “shot caller” for the Los Gangsters clique.
