BACKGROUND

On February 8, 2009, three undocumented Mexican nationals attempted to
kill a Lexington County Sheriff's Deputy as he was responding to a call
about a suspicious vehicle. The three opened fire on the Deputy's
marked patrol car as he was approaching. The three shooters, ages 15,
18, and 20, are members of the Surenos (SUR-13) street gang. The adults
have been charged with assault and battery with intent to kill. The
15-year-old is being prosecuted in family court for assault and battery
with intent to kill. ICE detainers have been lodged on the adults.

UPDATED INFORMATION

Interviews have determined that the 15-year-old was the shooter and this
was a "gang initiation." The juvenile was suppose to "Kill a Cop" in
order to get into the gang. Gangs have long posed a threat to public
safety and law enforcement but the threat is now increasing in scope.
Never before have the street gangs in South Carolina actively targeted
law enforcement officers for gang initiation.
