Wayne Day - varrio Watts Grape street crip member Wayne Day is 32 and known as the most powerful Crip crime boss. He is a notorious gang leader who is very rich and powerful. Day recently called together soo crips from 30 different sets (many of these sets were enemies) and talked about "unity." He'also instructed the gang members on drive-by shootings and suggested a law enforcement diversion: When performing a drive-by shooting, Day suggested that another gang member should call 911 from another part of town as a decoy to divert law enforcement resources.

Day has been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, rape, receiving stolen property, auto theft, selling stolen cars, selling PCP and intimidating witnesses. Day has avoided serving time in prison on all charges except for the rape charge--for which he served one year.

Day has been able to insulate himself from law enforcement. Power, money and the best attorneys have kept him out of jail and on the streets. Wayne D&Y's lifestyle appears to be more closely associated with

• organized crime ties than with street gang ties.

He has also financially backed a major Broadway play with some of his profits from his drug trafficking business.
