Atlanta Preview & Free Case Files
25 Arrested, 26 Indicted — Inside Gwinnett’s 210-Count Gang Case
In August 2021, multiple shootings along Boggs Road in Duluth, Georgia, drew investigators into what police described as an escalating gang conflict. Before the month ended, an eighteen-year-old was dead—and the inquiry was no longer limited to a string of shootings.
20 Arrests, Eight Machine Guns—and a Murder Hours Before the Raid
On April 5, 2024, officers moved on a residence in Lithonia, a small city in DeKalb County just east of Atlanta. What began as an investigation hundreds of miles away ended with twenty arrests, a table covered in firearms, conversion switches, extended magazines and evidence of an alleged psychedelic-mushroom operation. The official photographs captured the scale of the raid, but they did not explain how a Texas case reached this house or why a killing at a nearby gas station had suddenly become part of the same file.
Atlanta: 5 Convicted Gang Members In The Christopher Dean MARTA Trunk Murder Case
On October 17, 2016, Christopher Dean went to a residence on Sandy Creek Drive in Atlanta for what prosecutors described as a marijuana deal. By the next day, his body was found inside the trunk of his own Toyota Camry at the H.E. Holmes MARTA Station.
Metro Atlanta’s 492-Car Break-In RICO Case: The East Point Safe House Operation
For almost 16 months, police in Gwinnett County were not just chasing smashed windows. They were watching a pattern spread across parking lots, driveways, work vans, stolen vehicles, and eventually an alleged safe house in East Point.

183 Gangster Bloods: The Prison-To-Street RICO Indictment
This case did not start like a normal street indictment. It started with Georgia investigators saying a gang network was moving through prisons, phones, neighborhoods, drug markets, recruitment events, and violence across multiple counties, while two alleged leaders were already behind bars. By the time the state announced the case, 17 alleged members of the 183 Gangster Bloods, also known as 1-8 Trey Gangster Bloods, were tied to a RICO indictment built around 136 alleged predicate acts
The 135 Pirus Execution Case: Killed Over A Snitching Suspicion
The 135 Pirus execution case became one of the darkest Georgia federal gang files because prosecutors said the murder started with one suspicion: a 17-year-old gang member may have talked to police. That suspicion, according to federal authorities, was enough for members of the 135 Pirus to lure him to Bartow County, shoot him with the same gun connected to a nightclub attack, and leave his body on a rural road.
Nine Trey Atlanta: The Bloods RICO With Murder, Extortion, And Drug Trafficking
The Atlanta Nine Trey Gangster Bloods RICO case became one of the strongest federal Bloods cases out of Georgia because prosecutors did not describe Nine Trey as a loose street crew moving around with no structure. They described it as a national criminal organization with ranks, lines, leadership, drug trafficking, violence, extortion, witness tampering, obstruction, and internal punishment carried out in the name of the gang.
Sex Money Murder: The Atlanta RICO With Murders, Assaults, and Prison Politics
The Sex Money Murder RICO case is one of the darkest Atlanta connected federal gang indictments because prosecutors say the violence was not only happening in the streets. It was moving through prisons, contraband phones, gang hierarchy, drug money, discipline, loyalty, and fear.
