LOS ANGELES — Authorities in Central California arrested 26 people as part of a law enforcement response to the massacre of six family members in Goshen in January, the Tulare County Sheriff's Department announced.
The sweeping, multiagency takedown — dubbed "Operation Nightmare" — included searches of 97 homes in Tulare County along with the seizure of five guns, ammunition, 2 pounds of methamphetamine, an ounce of cocaine and an illegal firearm manufacturing operation, the Sheriff's Department said.
Authorities believe the killings were the result of years of beef and bad blood between two families associated with rival gangs in the area.
