The same evidence showed the second prong of the gang enhancement that defendants harbored the specific intent to assist each other in the commission of the crime. "Commission of a crime in concert with known gang members is substantial evidence which supports the inference that the defendant acted with the specific intent to promote, further or assist gang members in the commission of the crime. [Citation.]" (People v. Villalobos, supra, 145 Cal.App.4th at p. 322.)^³
