NANNING, Dec. 16 -- Nineteen members of a mafia-style gang stood trial on Tuesday on multiple charges at a court in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Li Zhenfeng, the head of the gang, received the death penalty with two years' reprieve for intentional homicide, illegal trade in guns and ammunition and operating gambling houses, at Wuzhou Intermediate People's Court on Tuesday.

In February 2013, the gang, led by Li, plotted revenge on another gang in Tengxian County over conflict of interest. They shot dead one person and injured another two.

The court also ruled Li Zhenfeng and other gang members had bought guns and bullets twice between January and February 2013, and ran gambling houses for a long period of time.

Another 18 gang members have been given suspended death penalties or prison sentences.
