A man with ties to a Canyon Country street gang who was freed from a Utah jail last month after spreading his SCV gang tag around St. George has been rearrested – this time for attempted murder.
Riley Joseph Guerrero, 18, is the chief suspect in a shooting near a school in the same southwestern Utah city.
He was taken into custody Thursday after a warrant was issued Wednesday for his arrest.
According to the warrant and local news reports, Guerrero and a 21-year-old man were involved in a fight in a housing complex when Guerrero allegedly shot him in the torso.
Two others were arrested for obstruction of justice after allegedly trying to help Guerrero elude the St. George Police Department and Washington County Drug Task Force.

A police statement said officers found heroin, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia when they went to search for the gun.
Guerrero, whom police identified as an admitted gang member, had been arrested in April after leaving his Santa Clarita Valley gang symbol on multiple locations in eastern St. George.
He pleaded guilty to one felony count of graffiti vandalism causing more than $5,000 in damage – to a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints seminary building – as well as misdemeanor drug and weapons offenses. He was sentenced to three years’ probation and released from custody May 13.
His current bail is set at $100,000.

Hilarious and sad at the same time isn’t it?! When I was growing up here back in the 90s they had “YBF aka Young Brown Familia” and another X13 Sureños. I’ve been seeing the x13 writing all over the walls in Canyon Country recently it’s pathetic!

Dumbass
Haha…i Live In Canyon country and see gang members every day and there are called
MALDITOS..THE TAGGING I SEEN. SAID. MMSx3 so believe it or not the scv ain’t as rich and. Perfect. As you all think
He was actually a homeless kid who came to scv and got in the mix with the wrong people and started doing drugs I know this kid he was a good kid but something happened….
It sucks how he never listened to anyone’s advice. He could have been way better off, but homelessness and drugs got the best of him. Sad to see someone you once called a friend become transformed into such a monster. Goes to show what happens when you don’t have real support throughout your younger years.
Hell Yeah SCV OG!!!!! G beat down some Valencia bad asses
Idiot douchebag.

Prayers for the lost and for those they hurt.
SCV has gangs with street cred?
You didn’t know!! Lol
Livivng on a corner house that gets tagged weekly( Thank You Graffitti Removal!). the Sherriffs came by to take a report and informed us that there was 2 gangs in SCV represnting different areas of Mexico. One is on the east side of Whites Cyn and the other is in Newhall. Yes, this is some of the culture that we are being beseiged with. People bring this from the old countries. The Irish gangs formed with the large influx from The Potatoe Famine till the early 20th Twentieth Century. Chinese formed them in the late 1900’s. In the early 1900’s Sicilian gangs adopted the Mafioso model of doing business, and inroads are already being felt with mass influx of people from the south. Along with enterprising in illegal activity, these gang which eventually morph into Crime Syndicates victimize people in their communities that they commendere. It’s a historical fact.
Wow!!! Wake up people. There are a few. You laugh!!!. But nothing funny about a bunch of drugged out. Drug slingn thugs. Causing danger violence, & caos in SCV. Or anywhere else in this case..
This is why there is a gang unit in SCV. If there where no gangs. There would be no gang unit.
Lol the gang unit in scv is a joke. . They classify any and every teen as a gang member to secure their jobs. .. they need to focus on the real gang members in scv
Thank God my son has a brain and isn’t wasting his life with drugs and everything associated with it. I am thankful for that every single day.
GANG? No just a bunch of dumb people/kids with nothing to do. Way too much time on their hands and too lazy to do anything useful. They might think they are gangs, just a gang of fools.
You just said exactly what every parent of every inner-city gang banger has always said.
