Worcester Latin Kings Leader Gets Supervised Release In Drug Case

WORCESTER, MA — A Worcester man identified by federal prosecutors as a local Latin Kings gang leader was sentenced on drug distribution charges Wednesday. Alvin Mojica's arrest came in a December sweep of Latin Kings gang members across New England.

Mojica, 32, was sentenced to three years of supervised release on a drug distribution charge. He also served seven months in federal prison this year during court proceedings in 2020. Prosecutors had asked a judge for an 18-month prison sentence.

Federal authorities said Mojica sold about 14 grams of cocaine to a person who was cooperating with investigators. He pleaded guilty to the drug distribution charge in July.

Mojica, who went by the name "King Humble," was one of 62 people arrested on Dec. 5 when federal and local police executed 31 search warrants across 24 locations, the culmination of a five-year RICO — Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act — investigation into the gang.
