Fresno’s gangs have been in the news as details emerge about the mistaken retaliation by a Fresno street gang called Mongolian Boys Society in November that left four dead and six injured. Court documents related to arrests in the case include details about how the gang is organized and makes its money. That led us to wonder about the current state of gang activity in Fresno and how it’s being addressed. To find out more, Kathleen Schock spoke with Fresno County Lt. Sheriff Arley Terrence with the Multi-Agency Gang Enforcement Consortium, along with former gang members Pastor Joby Jones with Fresno Street Saints, and Johnny Trujillo and Demetrius Archuleta with Hope Now for Youth.
