Sacramento police arrest 20 alleged gang leaders

Sacramento police say they've arrested 20 gang members and are seeking three more as part of an investigation that began after the shooting death of a popular high school football player in 2015.

Sacramento police say they've arrested 20 gang members and are seeking three more as part of an investigation that began after the shooting death of a popular high school football player in 2015.

Police said Tuesday that the men they arrested are leaders of a northern Sacramento gang known as the Strawberry Manor Gangster Bloods. It has a longstanding violent feud with a rival gang, Del Paso Heights Bloods.

Sacramento Police Capt. Marc Coopwood says a member of the gang was charged last year in the shooting death of Jaulon "J.J." Clavo. Investigators believe more gang members were involved but Coopwood declined to identify them.

Police say Clavo was not the intended target of the shooting and did not have any gang ties.
