My former next door neighbor was barely associated with a gang before he finished high school, he worked for the City, but he would occasionally get hassled by the older cops as a gang member because he used to play varsity sports in high school and was a team buddy with a gang member currently serving life in San Quentin for shooting at wounding a cop while acting as a mule.
He's considered "a gang member who never got caught" because he's still living in his childhood home after his mom died and Dad is in a nursing home. He didn't leave; he's still associated with a neighborhood clique/gang that had merged into another gang and moved away decades ago.

Is he still really a gang member? He says no. But the old cops in his sector say he is, and his name is still on an FBI list of gang associates simply because he grew up in a gang neighborhood.
