February 24, 2022

On Monday, WCCO’s Reg Chapman shared the first part of his investigation into Minneapolis’ gang problem. Police link tens of thousands of crimes to gangs every year, much of it violent, stealing innocent lives.

Chapman shared his sit-down interview with an active gang member, who we’re calling “John.” He agreed to talk openly if we disguised his identity and re-voiced his message.

John told us about two rival gangs — the Highs and the Lows — and how they recruit kids to become criminals, motivated by fast cash.
