LAWRENCEVILLE — The street gang MS-13 left a bloody imprint during its decade-long turf war in Gwinnett.
Gunmen in the notoriously violent organization manned by Central American nationals halted at no racial, gender or socioeconomic boundaries when it came to killing. They specialized in sending messages, in committing heinous acts in public places that drew headlines.

Greeley police were called at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday to the 2500 block of 14th Avenue Court on a report that a gang party had erupted into a fight.
