“These defendants were prolific fentanyl dealers who were frequently armed when guarding their stash or distributing their drugs,” said U.S. Attorney Gorman. “The danger to the community cannot be overstated in this case. The leader of the drug crew was gunned down last summer – right in front of one of the U District locations where members of the crew distributed their poison, and continued do so, following the deadly shooting.”

 

Authorities say the raid was the culmination of a year-long investigation. The operation led to multiple arrests, 26 searches, and the seizure of over 80 firearms, substantial quantities of narcotics, and cash.
