William Chaboyea shot a member of the Native Gangster Disciples more than 15 years ago.

​William Dallas Chaboyea, a 35-year-old Bloomington man, pleaded guilty Monday to the 1996 murder of a Native Gangster Disciple.

Chaboyea was part of the Native Mob, a rival gang with a reputation for carrying big guns and not hesitating to use them. This is the exact scenario that played out in a Minneapolis alley more than 15 years ago, prosecutors say, and Chaboyea will likely face a 20-year sentence for the intentional second-degree murder charge.

​This week's feature tells the story of Alisha "LeLe" Neeley, a 17-year-old girl shot and killed in Minneapolis in February. After her death, her clique called a truce with their rivals to stop the violence. Read the full story here.

To celebrate the truce, the two groups of girls came together April 30 for dinner in memory of LeLe. After the banquet, the girls took balloons from the tables and released them outside.

Check out the slideshow of banquet photos and another set of LeLe.

One of the girls recorded video of the event. Check out the footage below.
