Cesar Bernal was a gang banger and a member of the El Salvadorian street gang, La Vida Mala which has 30,000 members and is a world-wide organization dealing in drugs and guns with the members even hiring themselves out as hit men. He is also responsible for killing the chapter leader, Miguel Sosa and taking over as the head of the gang in his place. Unfortunately, the other gangsters weren't thrilled and quickly rounded on Bernal.
