The plot was hatched from prison, thanks to contraband cellphones possessed by a man who was serving a lengthy prison term for assault with a deadly weapon.
DUBLIN — An incarcerated South Hayward native who was convicted last year of ordering a fellow gang member to murder a rapper during a live performance has been sentenced to 25 years to life in state prison, court records show.
The case was filed thanks to a 2017 Hayward police wiretap investigation dubbed Operation Winter Storm, which looked not just at Munoz, Porter, and their co-defendant — Humberto Villegas — but a large group of others connected to the East Las Palmas gang, or ELP, a subset of the Norteños. The investigation was prompted by a string of gang shootings and homicides, and resulted in several criminal cases, including multiple alleged gang conspiracies.
Police claim that Villegas traveled to the bar as ordered but that the increased police presence dissuaded him from shooting. Charges against Villegas are still pending, and he faces additional conspiracy counts on a separate docket with other alleged ELP members.
