Alleged 'Nine Trey Gangster Blood' Gang Members Indicted By DOJ

30 alleged members of the gang have been indicted on charges of murder, attempted murder, drug trafficking and more.

ATLANTA, GA — The Nine Trey Gangster Blood Gang is the new target of a massive indictment by the Department of Justice, according to a press release, with 30 alleged members and associates of the gang facing charges, 17 of whom have been arrested by federal agents.

Their charges include committed murder, attempted murder, conspired to commit murder, robbery, extortion, firearm crimes, drug trafficking, obstruction of justice and other crimes.

“The alleged crimes relate to drug distribution in the Atlanta area and acts of violence perpetrated largely against the gang’s own members. Shockingly, the Nine Trey Gangsters in this case appear willing to kill someone or to commit violence over the smallest perceived slight,” said U.S. Attorney Byung J. Pak.
