This San Diego Criminal Case will have a long lasting effect on the entire police department and how they will operate in gang territories in San Diego. Officer Deguzman will be leaving behind loved ones filled with friends, family, a wife and children.

You can expect to see that law enforcement will charge the individuals involved in the officer shootings with a gang enhancement and the District Attorney’s Office in San Diego will make the connection that these shootings were in the furtherance of gang activity. This will allow law enforcement to go after more gang members in the Shelltown neighborhood associated with the suspects arrested under conspiracy related crimes. Give attorney Vik Monder a call if you have questions about how penal code section 186.22(b) works for the purposes of an enhancement for committing a felony for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a criminal street gang.
