But the prosecutor said Houston sports a gang tattoo and was right in the middle of the gang's violent culture -- living in an apartment on Tara Lane with another gang member when Jamell Cureton allegedly called from jail to arrange a hit on Doug London and Debbie London, the owners of the mattress store that Cureton had allegedly robbed last May.

Houston's attorney told the judge there was no evidence that Houston took part in the celebration or that he was on the phone when other gang members were planning the hit.

The judge refused to release Houston, who will stay in jail until his next court appearance.
