Reputed Latin Kings member charged in 2007 slaying of Marine who survived Iraq but was gunned down in Indiana

Marine veteran Isaias Cintron survived two tours of duty in Iraq only to be gunned down outside a Northwest Indiana bar after he returned home to Chicago a decade ago.

Federal prosecutors in Indiana later linked the slaying to the Almighty Latin Kings street gang, who allegedly mistook the 24-year-old Cintron for a gang rival and opened fire with an AK-47 assault rifle as he pulled into the parking lot of the Portside Pub in Whiting on Jan. 18, 2007.

But no one was ever charged with the murder — until now.

Not sure if this is directly "immigration" but close enough (or move to correct forum). Horrific story.  I once heard someone talk about this "Latin Kings" gang. Clearly, some names mentioned who are in this gang, are not "Latin" though that is probably where it originates from.
