Investigators believe the home invasion robbery that ended in the death of a South Bay millionaire in November happened after a prostitute gave information about his mansion to one of two East Oakland gangs that police have tied to an eruption of violence, The Chronicle has learned.

Three men and a woman are charged in connection with the Nov. 30 death of Raveesh “Ravi” Kumra, 66, a cell-phone entrepreneur and the former owner of Mountain Winery in Saratoga. His body was found after his wife summoned police to the couple’s ransacked, 7,000-square-foot home in Monte Sereno, in the hills west of San Jose.

A Santa Clara County judge has sealed documents related to the case. But three law enforcement sources said investigators believe the home invasion was one of several around the Bay Area in recent months tied to an East Oakland gang called the Money Team. Click below for full story -
