Va. public school officials do nothing to stop gang violence, just ask kids "to leave it at the door:”
9/5/15, "Loudoun County high schooler’s slaying probed for gang-related ties," Washington Post,
 |
| Arrested in Loudoun Cty. |
"Saturday morning, after investigators worked through the night, the sheriff’s office announced they had arrested three male suspects from Sterling, Va., including a 17-year-old who is charged with second-degree murder and with using a firearm while committing a felony.
Investigators said they think the 17-year-old, whose name was not released because he is a minor, fired the shots that struck Centeno-Miranda. Commonwealth’s Attorney James Plowman said he intends to try the teen as an adult, but for now he is being held at a juvenile detention center.
Henry Dominguez Vasquez, 20, and Juan Aguirre Zelaya, 18, were also arrested and charged with being accessories to the shooting and with possession of a firearm while in the country illegally. Kraig Troxell, spokesman for the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, said authorities determined that the men were undocumented immigrants based on information the suspects gave them....
They said the victim knew the suspected assailants from the neighborhood. Centeno-Miranda lived in the same complex of townhomes as Dominguez Vasquez and Aguirre Zelaya, who shared a unit on North Sterling Boulevard. The 17-year-old suspect may have attended Park View High at one point, said Richard Fiano, commander of the criminal investigations division.
“This was not a random incident,” Sheriff Mike Chapman said. “The suspects and the victim were known to each other.”...
Law enforcement investigators were exploring the possibility that the shooting was gang-related and commended the work of the Northern Virginia Gang Task Force in helping apprehend the suspects.
“We’re looking into that there may be some gang affiliation, however we don’t know what the reason was just yet for the incident taking place,” Chapman said.
The shooting, which occurred before the morning bell at Park View, prompted school officials to put the campus on lockdown, meaning students were held in their first-period classes for the duration of the day.
Suzanne Devlin, head of safety and security for the school system, said officials are aware of gang activity in the school but urge students to leave affiliations and beefs with rival factions at the schoolhouse door.
“I don’t think that there’s any question that school likely has gang activity,” Devlin said. “What I’ve been told by kids themselves is ‘We understand the ramifications of assuming our ganghood in the schools.’ So they do what they can to leave it at the door.”...
Morris said there was a rotating cast of occupants — mostly young men — moving in and out of the unit and that he never got to know any of them particularly well. They played soccer in the parking lot and occasionally crowded his front stoop but overall were respectful. When Morris said he smelled marijuana smoke wafting into his townhome, he went to his neighbors and asked them to quit smoking in the house. He said they were polite and obliged....
Centeno-Miranda’s parents, who remain in El Salvador, sent him to the United States because they believed it would be safer."...
