Efren Marquez & Jeffrey Aguilar, Latino Gang Members, Arrested For Alleged Hate Crimes


Efren Marquez & Jeffrey Aguilar, Latino Gang Members, Arrested For Alleged Hate Crimes: Three Latino men have been arrested in suspicion of a terrifying hate crime committed against an African-American family. The suspects allegedly brought 15 to 20 gang members to surround the house, telling the family that it couldn't live in the predominantly Latino neighborhood.

Jeffrey Aguilar, 19, Efren Marquez, 21, and a teenage juvenile were arrested on Jan. 24 for committing the alleged hate crime in Compton, Los Angeles, according to the LA Sheriff's Department.

Shortly after an African-American family moved onto 154th Street, one of the male family members, while walking home on Dec. 31, was approached by four Latino men in an SUV.
