According to police, a group of Surenos \u00a0stopped by a New Garden bonfire party on Dec. 3, 2011, and were asked to leave because members of the rival Viking gang were present. The Surenos left but returned with more members and weapons, police said. Eumana was one of 12 defendants charged with the fatal stabbings of Cuahuctemoc Bedolla, 27, and Jose Rodriguez, 29.<\/p>\n<div>The homicides prompted local law-enforcement to work with legislators to enact anti-gang legislation that was signed into law last month.
