Two Nuestra Familia leaders get 14 years in federal prison for murder conspiracies

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:03:40 GMT

OAKLAND — Two of the most powerful people within the secretive and violent Nuestra Familia prison gang have been sentenced to 14-and-a-half years in federal prison after admitting to involvement in conspiracies to kill subordinate gang members across California, court records show.Samuel Luna, 48, and Antonio Guillen, 58, were both sentenced by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers to 175 months in federal prison. Both men pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy involving murder plots that authorities say were only thwarted because federal investigators were secretly listening as the two talked on their contraband prison cellphones.Both men are already serving life in state prison for violent crimes, but federal prosecutors hope the federal prison sentence will isolate them and inhibit their influence over the Nuestra Familia, a prison gang that runs the massive network of Norteño gangs in Northern and Central California.Guillen, according to authorities, is one of thre...

"To the A's organization and every single person part of it, I love all of you, every single one of you -- except for one guy," the nine-year veteran said. "And we all know who that guy is."

Let someone who actually takes pride in the things they own own something." The "Sell" shirts May referred to were created by A's fans hoping to pressure Fisher into selling the team and are now common to see in the crowd at the Oakland Coliseum. The team announced a potential move to Las Vegas in April. May's rant against Fisher continued for two minutes. H...

(AP) — Dan Campbell doesn’t have to think long when asked to compare the Detroit Lions fanbase to others he’s seen across the NFL.“I’ve never seen anything like this,” Campbell said Monday after Lions fans turned out at Raymond James Stadium during Sunday’s 20-6 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “I played in Dallas, and Dallas travels well, but not like this.“In the second half, it was so loud when (Tampa Bay)’s offense was out there, I swear I thought they might go to a silent cadence.”The Lions are 3-0 on the road during their 5-1 start, including prime-time Thursday night wins at both Arrowhead Stadium and Lambeau Field — two of the league’s best-known venues.“They weren’t really road games — at least they didn’t feel like it,” he said. “If you want to build a winning team, the first step is being able to win on the road. That’s a mindset — going on the road and it is just you against the other t...

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Any hope that the Arizona Cardinals might overachieve this season is fading quickly.The Cardinals (1-5) fell to the Los Angeles Rams 26-9 on Sunday, with the Rams scoring 20 unanswered points after halftime. Arizona has been outscored 51-12 in the second half during their current three-game losing streak.“It’s hard as hell to win an NFL football game, man,” Cardinals defensive lineman Jonathan Ledbetter said Sunday.That’s particularly true for the rebuilding Cardinals, who don’t have a ton of talent to cover up mistakes.Joshua Dobbs struggled, completing 21 of 41 passes for 235 yards and had two turnovers in the fourth quarter, including an interception and a lost fumble.
