High Level "C-14" Gang Member Charged With Re-Entering U.S.

MADISON, Wis. (WTAQ) - A man who police said was planning to retaliate for the murder of a street gang member in Madison was charged Wednesday with re-entering the U.S. after being deported.

31-year-old Jorge Ramirez-Flores was arrested August 13th in Beaver Dam for alleged probation and immigration violations. Police said he was a high-level member of Madison’s “C-14” gang, which was reportedly planning to retaliate against a rival gang for the April murder of 19-year-old Antonio Perez.

Madison Police had worked with federal immigration officials to target “C-14” gang members. Authorities arrested 11 Mexican gang members in the Madison area for immigration violations. Those arrests came 2 days before Ramirez-Flores was taken into custody.
