On March 7, 1997, an NR member (Casteneda) was killed (execution style) one day after being released from prison. His body was found in an artichoke field near Castroville (Monterey
County) with a bullet wound in the back of his head and another in his left eye. His hands had been arranged to reflect the hand sign for 14, which symbolizes a Northern California Hispanic
gang member and may have been done to show that his assailants were NR. It is also believed by a Law Enforcement gang specialist that this homicide was sanctioned by the NR and was
ordered because the individual had refused to assault his brother, an NR dropout.
