>The suspects, identified in charging documents as Angel Uriarte, 35, and Noah Beard, 25, are known members of the Norteño gang, Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said during a news conference. He said the January 16 shooting was the likely result of a conflict with members of the Sureños, a rival gang.

Nortenos means "northerners". Surenos means "southerners". So the conflict is literally between the northern California gang and the southern California gang.

They are the street level gang afiliates of the Nuestra Familia and Mexican Mafia prison gangs. But you are correct about the geographic component of the rivalry.

It’s more convoluted and complicated than that

Yeah, it's all mixed up all over the West Coast.
