A San Francisco man was arrested in Berkeley on a federal gun charge, the latest recent example of federal prosecutors targeting suspected members of the Tre-4 gang.
SAN FRANCISCO — In the latest example of federal prosecutors targeting people with suspected ties to the so-called Tre-4 gang, a San Francisco resident has been hit with felony federal gun possession charges, court records show.
Willie Lefiti was indicted in late April in Berkeley in connection with robbery and burglary investigations in San Francisco. Federal prosecutors in the Bay Area have also charged him with being a felon in possession of a loaded pistol allegedly discovered during his arrest. Prosecutors tried and failed to keep Lefiti behind bars while the case is pending, arguing he has violated prior court orders and wouldn’t show up to his hearings if he’s freed.
Lefiti has made all his court appearances since being released from federal custody on April 20. Records show that his next court date has been set for June 21.when authorities attributed several shootings to a violent rivalry between the gang and another San Francisco gang known as DBG, or Down Below Gang.
Prosecutors allege that in April 28, 2020, 23-year-old Henry Texada, of Oakland, was shot and killed in Oakland because of his affiliation with DBG. The next day, an alleged Tre-4 member named Reno Fiapoto was shot and killed on the Bay Bridge, near Fremont Street.
