Cracking down on gangs is a priority for Willis, and she said she plans to seek tough penalties for people involved in violent gang activity. “I’m not going to negotiate with gang members. I’m not going to allow solicitations,” he said. “We will find you, convict you, and send you to prison for the rest of your days, and I make no apologies for that.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.
