Thirteen people have been indicted on federal drug charges in District.
Federal prosecutors said 13 of the people targeted in the Northwest Washington neighborhood — between the ages of 29 and 54 — were indicted on drug conspiracy charges in U.S. District Court. Ten were arrested Wednesday, two were in jail on other charges and one is being sought.
“We’re talking about violent offenders who no longer will be targeting this neighborhood with unnecessary and tragic violence,” D.C. police Inspector Lashay Makal, who heads the violent crime suppression division, said at a news conference on Thursday in Shaw.Authorities said the crew was centered at 7th and O streets NW, near the Kennedy Recreation Center, although they alleged drug sales and violence spread outward into Truxton Circle and LeDroit Park.
Crews based at 7th and O streets have been around for years, with beefs stretching back to the deadly crack cocaine era in the late 1980s and early 1990s that made the District the nation’s murder capital.Advertisement
