Alleged Minnesota gang members charged in series of murders in federal crackdown | News, sports, jobs

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A federal grand jury has indicted 11 alleged members of a Minneapolis street gang on charges including murder, conspiracy and drug trafficking, prosecutors announced Wednesday.

Some of the alleged gang members have been charged for their role in seven shootings that killed five people, unsealed court records show. Five people have been charged with murder with a firearm, while the 11 defendants were charged with conspiracy.

The charges are part of a federal gang crackdown announced by authorities in 2023 that has ensnared dozens of members or associates of several Minneapolis gangs. With Wednesday’s announcement, more than 90 people have been charged with gang-related crimes since the operation began, prosecutors said.
