Prison gangs adopt College Logo

Street gangs now using the University of  New Mexico Lobo logo as a gang symbol. The gang is called Los Burqueños or the Burqe Boys, and members are using well-known Albuquerque symbols to identify themselves.

The Burqueños started as a New Mexico prison gang where members of different Albuquerque street gangs would band together behind bars. They get tattoos of the city's downtown skyline, the image of the Albuquerque Duke, the Zia sun symbol and even the University of New Mexico Lobo logo. And they have a special purpose for the Lobo's paw print.
