David Hernandez, one of the 40 alleged gang members named on Oakland’s proposed injunction against the Fruitvale Norteños, was arrested at the May First Cinco de Mayo parade in Fruitvale. Hernandez, 21, wears a GPS device around his ankle as part of his conditions of probation: he is also barred from interacting with gang members.
Hernandez’s crime? According to the police report and his attorney, Jeff Wozniak, he greeted co-defendant Salvador Avalos, while out enjoying the sun and crowd on Sunday afternoon. Undercover OPD officers Mario Bonilla and Eric Barangan tailed Hernandez through the packed streets of International Boulevard near the Fruitvale BART stop.
