Raymond 'Shrimp Boy' Chow convicted of racketeering and murder

Source: Associated Press

A jury convicted a former gang leader of racketeering, murder and other counts in a case centered in the Chinatown district of San Francisco.

Defendant Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow stared straight ahead on Friday and showed no reaction as the initial verdicts were announced.

The probe also ensnared former California state senator Leland Yee, who has pleaded guilty to a racketeering count involving bribes.

Prosecutors said Chow ordered the slaying of the head of a Chinese fraternal organization with criminal ties that Chow then took over. They also charged him with conspiracy to murder another rival.
