PHOENIX - The Department of Public Safety announced the arrest of a suspect in a 2007 gang-related murder, along with 23 other people suspected of gang activity.

According to a Friday night news release from DPS, Corey Garner, 26, of Phoenix was arrested for the murder of 17-year-old Daniel Ramirez.

Officials say the operation, called "Justice in Paradise" came out of an investigation into the north Phoenix gang that started as a "party crew" in 2006. Over time the party crew reportedly transformed into a criminal street gang, going from hosting parties to armed robberies, home invasions, aggravated assaults, narcotics sales, burglaries, and trafficking in stolen property, drive-by shooting, firearms and weapons violations and homicide.

Authorities say members of the gang have been involved in a steady stream of crimes from 2006 to the present.

The 24 suspects were taken into custody as a result of cooperative efforts of the Arizona Department of Public Safety's State Gang Task Force, the Phoenix Police Department and the Scottsdale Police Department, according to DPS.

Judging from the pictures and names @ http://www.abc15.com/dpp/news/region_ph ... gang-probe

it seems to be a White and Black gang.

The color isn't the issue. Its the fact we need to get this type of slime off of our streets and out of our communities.

I mentioned "colors" only because most gangs aren't multiracial.
Most gangs are usually only one race, one nationality, one ethnicity, etc.
